sed the State Bar Examination
! in 1929 and for the past five
j years had been practicing law in
I Canton. He wis considered one
of the most promising young
lawyers in Haywood county.
The deceased was unmarried,
[in addition to his parents he is
survived by one brother, G. H.
Sentelle, Canton; Mrs. Helen
MacMillan, Southport, and Mrs.
H. G. Smith, Chattanooga, Tenn.
The latter was unable to attend
the funeral of her brother.
The funeral services were held
at the Bethel Baptist church in
! Haywood county Monday afternoon
at 4:00 o'clock, the Rev.
Mr. Joyner, pastor of the deceased,
conducting the final
rites. Interment was made in the
church cemetery. A large crowd
gathered to pay their final tri;
bute of respect and the floral
offerings were of unusual beauty.

he would have no part in setting
him free- He assuied
Walker's relatives that he |

their efforts to get him out of

Scarlet Fever
Cases In Town
i
Three Residents Of Southport
Suffering From This
Malady At Present; Continuous
Cases Since Last
August
Mrs. Lou H. Smith, Brunswick
County nurse, reports that there
are three active cases of scarlet
fever in Southport at the present
time and that there have
been from one to three cases reported
in town each month
since last August.
Mi-s. Smith says that she is
unable to explain the reason for
the continuous appearances of
this disease. Every possible precaution
has been taken to have
each case carefully isolated and
a representative of the State
Board of Health has visited
Southport recently in an effort to
determine the best method of
control.
So far, all cases have been
light and no serious results have
been reported. Scarlet fever Is
recognized by members of the
medical profession as a dangerous
disease. Infections of the
middle ear, heart and kidney are
the most serious complications.
Mrs. Smith is asking that
mothers co-operate with her in
an effort to control the future
spread of this malady. She asks
that mothers examine their children
closely and that they call a
physician at the first sign of
scarlet fever.
The onset is usually sudden,
beginning with a sore throat,
vomiting, fever, which is followed
ir. two or three days by a
generalized pin-point rash. The
rash usually appears about the
neck and spreads downward.
The incubation period is from
two to seven days and the disease
may occur in any season.
However, the greatest number of
rmtPR nsuallv aDDear in colder
? ? V ??-* weather.
Children are the most
susceptible, about 75 per cent of
all cases occur in children under
10 years of age.
