Doctors Stand By
Co. Health Officer
County MeJical Society Fai!s to Find
Evidence in Support of Recent
Grand Jury Report—Adopts Reso
lutions Declaring Dr. Hardin Has
Performed His Duty.
Resolutions which it is understood
wili show failure on the part of Robe
son county grand jury to thoroughly
investigate the services rendered by
Dr. E. R. Hardin, county health offi
cer, were ordered drafted by the Robe
son County Medical society at its reg
ular meeting held at the Goat club
here Tuesday night. The resolutions
also will show, it is said, that the
work done by the health officer has
not been detrimental to the welfare
of the inmates of the county's in
stitutions, but that it has been such
that it plainly shows that the officer
has done his duty as required by law.
A committee was appointed by the
society, following the report of the
grand jury at the recent term of cri
minal coOKt, to investigate thorough
ty the complaints set out by the re
port. This committee visited the
county ja&, qounty home and convict
camps aad found no reason for a re
port, such as the grand jury made,
and found farther that had the grand
jury investigated the records in the
)ff!ce of the clerk of Superior court,
and coaepRed Dr. Hardin they would
have found thet Hie officer had coin
plied with the law in every instance
ss much as it was possible for him to
io so.
Copies of the resolutions were ord
ered sent to Judge N A. Sinclair,
Solicitor T. A. McNeiM, the State
Board of Health and The Robesonian.
The Robesonian has not yet received
s copy of the resolutions. — ^
Dr. R. S. Beam, president of the
society, says the committee was ap
pointed to investigate the matter to
determine whether or not Dr. Hardin
was rendering the service which was
necessary and which was demanded of
the health officer. He further stated
that the society was very anxious that
ali inmates of the county's institutions
receive the best medical attention pos
sible, and that they will do every
thing in thejr power to help them get
it, and on the other hand if after tpe
thorough investigation it was found
that the work necessary and demand
ed is more than one medicaJ officer
can attend to with other duties, then
the society is ready to recommend
that an additional health ofBcer be
appointed.
The above business took up so much
time that papers which had been pre
pared for the occasion were continued
until next meeting. Before the meet
ing, barbecue was served.
Bazaar at Center School Home.
A bazaar will be held at Center
school house on the Fairmont-Lum

Series of Meetings
Closed Last Night
Rev. W. S. Milne Preached Practice!
Seneca* ef Power and Earnestness
Daria a Series of Meetings Which
Has Just Closed at Preabyteriaa
Church.
Reported for The Robesonian.
The eerier of meetings which began
at the Presbyterian church a Week
Sunday closed iast evening.
'e rMtgped thia aeries
titae haw come fo)r it to, close.
Milne fa g very plain, practice!
preacher of power and : earaeataess,
andhis gdat!^ kindly disposition, as
evidenced by hm pulpit Wanner, brings
out the best qualities of his negrers.
He prefaced his sariaon iasu evening
With Words of appreciation and fare
weQ. He said the close attention to
ins pr$aChi!^g he^ helped him and en
couraged him gheatly, and the season
had been one of great refreshing for
him. "
An Open Dear For Service.
He took his text firom Revelation
3rd chapter, beginning with the 7th
verse: "A message to the minister of
the "church of Brotherly Love." The
privilege of an open door for service,
said the preacher, is before every one,
end no man can shut it. God has
opened it to aii through Jesus Christ
for His own glory and our good. The
Bible is an open door. We are apt to
fai! to realize the power that comes
to us through His word. It has been
tried but no man can shut it.
He spoke of how* Often we do
things for no particular reason and
find an opportunity opening before
us for real service to some one. It is
He who opens these doors. Gad's
hand is on the affairs of those who
love and fear Him. We should ask
for these doors to open,otherwise they
may remain shut. It is "He that
openeth and no man shuttefh; and
shutteth and no man openeth". "He
hath the Hey " "Lastly, Gpd opens
these doors to His faithful for closer
relationship—the Messing is ours,
hpt the glory is'His".
Tuesday morning there was no
service on account of the pastor and
the visi ing minister attending Pres
bytery in Fayetteville. At the even
ing service Mr, Miine took the inci
dents recorded in 2 Samuel 24th chap
ter, beginning at the 10th verse:
"King David numbering the people",
M^the basis for his ramasktu " i
Life's Chance
Life's chance, said the preacher
comes to everyone. The outcome de
pends upon whether one believes in
mere chance, or believes in choice.
God provides the main, the best
chances in life by dependence upon
Him. David departed from this and
in his consequent pride sought to
prove the strength of his army by a
census. Realizing his sin, he be
sought God to take away his iniquity.
Sinning brings punishment not alone
to the one who commits the sin but to
others as well.
God, the seer, by God's command*
offered David three things, one of
which he must choose for his punish
ment: Seven years of famine, his
enemies to prevail over him three
months, or three days' pestilence.
Repentance brought David clearer vis
ion and he chose rather to fail into
the hands of God than into the hands
of men. As sin brings distress and
suffering, God sent th epestilence,
and David saw 70,000 of his army die
within the 3 days. His sin affected
these and their families, for penalty
requires that the innocent suffer
with the guilty. "A man wise ip his
own conceit, there is more chapee Tor
a fool than for him". The preacher
urgedJhis hearers to take the gift of
God's love through Jesus Christ, for
ih that is the great chance of life
sterna!.
"Take God's plan, which contains
for you that which cost the life of
God's own Son. The value of this
cannot be estimated."
The One Thing In The Way.
Mr Milne's sermon Monday night
was particularly forceftd in that it
brought the hearer face to face with
the one thing that keeps men out of
the kingdom of God. His theme was
drawn from three passages of scrip
ture: part of Luke 18, telling of the
bringing of infants to Jesus; the
story of the rich young ruler; Jesus'
reply to the question 'Who then can
be saved?"Also latter'part of Luke
10, Martha cumbered with serving in
material things, Mary hearing the
words of life; Psalm 27:4, David's de
sire to dwell in the house of the Lord
and to inquire ip His temple.
The preacher said that just one
thing, no matter how small, often
prevents the greatest results. Losing
a key renders the treasure-chest use
less. One misstep, and a life ha lost.
The infants were brought to Jesus
for the blessing whieh He only could
bestow. The rich young ruler be
lieved he was about perfect but was
conscious of a need for something,
and Jesus knew what that was and
told him—one thing, but it kept him
out of the kingdom. Life service being
lacking, he was unhappy; only ah ex
change of earthly treasure for the
treasure of heaven, but the wiM to
make the change was lacking.
Each one out of the kingdom
knows he lacks one thing, and often
knows what that one thing is. When
one comas face to face with Jesus the
question becomes serious end one's
decision makes or mars forever.

Capt. D. A Sikes, who has been sec

We regret losing Mr. Sikes. His fa

The McRainey building being fix

from Georgia, who has left for the
