Pathologist Knows Many "Bugs"
. :
Pathology is the branch of'
medicine that deals with the essential-nature
of disease, espec
ially with the changes of struc
ture and function that occur in
disease, and particularly their
physiological and anatomical ef
fects. t. The Pathologist is a specialist
in pathology; one who makes
post-mortem examinations, dis
gnoses the morbid changes in
tissues removed at operations,
etc. They come from selected
medical Doctors who have had
special training in this particu
lar field of medicine.
The picture shows Dr. P. P.
Green at the Richmond County
Memorial Hospital examining a
specimen of an appendix which
has just been removed by one.
of the surgeons.
To explain a Pathologist's
knowledge of diseases, let us
take an example like this: in
North Carolina there are twenty-one
different varities of oak
Wright-Sellars ;
Invitations have been mailed
to the forthcoming wedding of
Ensign Clement Gillespie .Wright,
IV and Miss Elizabeth Bailey
Sellers, in a formal ceremony
at 5:30 p. m. May 9th in Holy
Trinity Episcopal Church at
Greensboro. A reception follows
the ceremony, at the Greens
boro Country Club.
Miss Sellars is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Bailey
Sellars, executive of the Bur
lington chain; and Clem is son
of Mr. and Mrs. T. (Bernard
Wright (she the former Mary
Louise Everett).
It's easy for a man to lead a
woman to the altar to main
tain the lead from then on is
more difficult.
ager in Atlanta, Mr. Booth will
succeed Claude J. Yates, who
has been made General Man
ager for Florida.

trees, some grow best in the
coastal regions, while others
grow best in the mountains.
Some are very tough and hard,
while some are harder but not
so tough, others are softer, in
fact each tree has different
characteristics. Some make bet
ter handles for tools, some make
better, cross ties, some make bet
ter flooring, and so it goes with
every one of the twenty-one
varities.
As it is with the oaks, so it is
with many diseases, there are
many different kinds of cancer,
and Dr. Green's knowledge of
probably more than twenty-one,
diseases enables him to isolate
one from the other, which gives
the patient's Physician a very
great advantage in treating his
case.
All body tissues removed in
surgery at Richmond County
Hospital are sent to the labora
tory where they are sliced very
thin, stained and examined un
-aick Land, manager of the
Rockingham Hotel building, has
leased the former Flowers bar
ber shop, fronting on Washing
ton street, to two Goodnight bro
thers of Salisbury who will re
model the interior and open a
men's haberdashery.
The brothers are Cress and
Mirus Goodnight; they operate
such a store in Salisbury, and
the Rockingham unit wil' be
but an expansion of their busi
ness. The new clothing store will
probably open around ,July 1st.
Special fixtures are now being
made for the interior. The total
area is 1,100 square feet 20
feet wide by 47 depth.
The Ciary brothers from Sal
isbury on Feb. 26 opened a shoe
store in the Hotel building, and
no doubt their enthusiastic op
inion of the Rockingham po
tentials induced the Goodnight
brothers to decide to open here
I too.

occupied by Kay's. The barber
ship store is on the east side of

to the old Dr. stansill telephone
building.
Lilesville Junior-Seniors
The 26 members of the Liles
ville senior class will be enter
tained this Friday night by the
27 members of the Lilesville
junior class. This annual , party
will be at Sidney's at 8 o'clock.
, The Lilesville school has an
enrollment of 578, with 22 teach
ers. William Powell is in charge
of the Lilesville schools.
Mrs. Cox Hart in Fall
Mrs. T. E. -Cox had the ' mis
fortune to fall as she wastcom
ing ' out of the Educational
building at the First Baptist
church last Sunday morning
about 10:45 o'clock. In the fall
she suffered a fracture of- the
pelvis bone; she is in our Me

der a powerful microscope for
structure, as well as the effects
of different stains on them. If
the Colorimeter reveals some
thing wrong with a blood, or
urine specimen it is throughly
scrutinized with the microscope.
After through and exhaustive
examination the pathologist
makes a report, which goes to
the attending physician, and
also to the Medical Records Li
brary of the hospital.
Physicians are always anxious
to be correct in their diagnoses,
and the pathologist assists them
in checking all tissues removed
in the operating room, and an
autopsey if treatment fails.
These constant checks inevita-
ably improve the Physician's !
knowledge- and pay off in better
treatment of their patients.
Without such facilities the
standard of medical care in any
community necessarily will re
main low.
Valuations
Considering the fact ; 6Kp&
some 13,000 valuation cards were1
mailed trr the ' ' tax-payers of
Richmond county, it is rather
remarkable that there aren't
many more complaints than at
present are apparent.
The re-valuation was made
with an ' endeavor to put all
property on an equal footing.
Some were raised, still others
lowered. But all was measured
by the same yard-stick.
The ' County " Commissioners
are in session to hear complaints;-
and will give every
complamtant a patient hearing.

REPORT CARD
Mother: Why, dear, I don't
think Johnny's - reports are -so
bad. The teacHer repoited last
time he v.as still trying.

.
WOW!
. Little Nanoy was playing with a
group, of very wild children when
her horrified mother called her into
the house. After a stern lecture on
the subject of her wayward little
playmates, the mother concluded
gently:
- "Now, tell me dear, where do
bad little girls go?"
Nancy smiled whisomely.
"Everywhere," she replied.
AX OVERSIGHT
Mrs. 3iacCregor: Are you the
young: man who jumped into the
river and hauled my son out
when he feH through the ice?
Young Man: Yes, ma'am.
Mrs. MacGregor: Where's his
mittens?.
Reinforced Leaf
"Your honor," said a lawyer,
"this man beat his wife over the
head with an oak leaf."
"An oak leaf!" the judge snorted.
"An oak leaf couldn't hurt any
body." "Your honor," pursued the law
yer. "It was an oak leaf out of th
dining room table."
Some Knock
The deaf old lady went to live
near one of the naval ports. Shortly
afterwards, a battleship fired a
salute of 10 guns. The old lady, who
lived alone, got out of her chair,
smoothed down her dress, patted
her hair, and said sweetly, "C'ime
in."
Practical Gift
Once there was. a girl who didn't
think she could be happy without
a pearl .necklace. So as her birth
day drew near she hinted to all her
boy friends that as a gift she would
like to have something for her neck.
Came the big day and she got s:x
cakes of soap.
A judge who , was very hard of
hearing tried a case in which both
plaintiff and defendant were deaf.
Plaintiff: This man 0ught to be
made to . pay his rent. .
Judge: .What have you got to say
about that?
Defendant: Well, I nevei play my
radio at night.
Judge: I have considered this case
carefully and reach the decision thrt
both of these brothers should help to
Bupport their mother.
Where Else?
The young lover was obviously
reeling out a heavy line trying to
impress the beautiful young girl at
his side. "Those warm lips: .And
those beautiful eyes! Where did you
get those eyes?"
The girl answered, unimpressed,
"They came with my head."
Racial Problem
"Dad, what is an inscrutable
smile?"
"It's the kind, my son, your
mother had on her face this morning
when I told her that business might
keep me out late tonight."
