HONORS TO FIRST BOY
FROM HENDERSOII 0
TO DIE IN FRANCE
Friends of Corporal Robert E. Wil
cox, who died in action in France on
May 28, will be interested in the ac
count below of honors in his memory
as published in the Labor Advocate
of Asheville. Corporal Willcox was a
nephew of M. E. Holtzclaw of Hen
dersonville an until about two years
ago was in the employ of H. V. Helsel
of this city. ,
Corporal Wijlcox was the first Hen
derson county boy, and the only one
thus far reported, to die in the pres
ent war.
The story from the Labor Advocate
follows:
Members of the Sheet Metal Work
er's Union of this city paid a great
tribute on the Fourth to the memory
of their deceased brother, R. E. Will
cox, who lost his life a few weeks
ago at the battle front in France.
The members of the union marched
from the union hall on Haywood
street to the square, carrying a large
American flag. The marchers stop
ped near .Vance's monument, and
James F. Barrett made a short ad
dress, telling of the pride the Sheet
Metal Workers and the other union
men of the city felt in the splendid
work done by Mr. Willcox in his fight
for freedom. It was pointed out that
Mr. Willcox was the first Buncombe

that way. It is bad arithmetic.
Felon ether scalpel drainage
all well in six days. That is alge
braic a little too difficult for many
plain folks to understand.
Felon poultice danger perma

That is neither arithmetic nor alge
bra, but blind gambling.
A felon is a deep infection. Usually
the pus-producing germs are upon or
underneath the periosteum; which is
the protective and nourishing covering
of live bone. If pus accumulates here,
or even in, the deeper soft tissue of the
finger, the patient will suffer great
pain. If the pus is under the perios
teal membrane, it will strip this nour
ishing membrane away from the bone,
and the result of that is necrosis or
death oft the bone. When dead bone
is present there is certain to be pro
longed trouble from a sinus or running
sore the condition described by the
correspondent.
As soon as pain, swelling, redness
and localized heatror inflammation ap
pear, that is the time to have the felon
opened. And3 not "lanced." Lancing
is old' stuff, painful, brutal, inefficient;
it is the half-way measure of the
timid. The felpn must be freely in
cised, right down to the bone, with the
patient under the effect af ether. Only
in this way can the thing be nipped In
the bud. In from three to six days
any felon should be practically healed.
That is, if the accumulating pus is
drained before serious damage has
been done by procrastination.
Felony, the advocates of salves and
poHltises should bear in mind, is a
crime.
