Sacrifices his Young Daugh ! ; ter's Life. f Announcement has been made in the Sim of the death of Miss Zol- lie Romidger, of Reidsville, who was so well known here. The followin g from Webster's Weekly will gi e added pain to her friends: Miss ZollieRominger died at the home of her parents, Dr. and Mrs, 1- I V C. A. Kominger, last. Thursday eteninfirJ February 28tb, after an illness, of Tour weeks. The an i - " - ' . . . . nouncement of ner deatn was a gfeat surprise to the community. We regret to say that there is a widespread feeling in Reidsville that this i sweet young girl's life might hive been saved had she re ceived the attention of a physician, It is a matter of common report that her father, who is one of the State's loading dentists, believes in divine h baling, i. e., that the pray er of faith will save the sick with out the use of medicine, and so be- ieving He did not call in a physi cian during her illness, but prayed for her restoration to health Nor were any of the remedies prescrib ed by ; physicians for typhoid ever, the disease with which she was afflicted, used. She received the tenderest nursing at the hands of loved ones, and ner tatner ass- ed her if she wanted a doctor, and called oyer the names of the differ ent ones in town, but she said she did not. 1 1 It would be idle to attempt to conceal ihe fact that our people eel that Dr. Kominger had no riffht to allow his child to suffer and die without giving, her the benefit c f medical attention. He owes it o the community to ex plain w ly he did sd. j It pai is us to gay Jtjiese thing. b'ut we believe, the time has come for plain speaking. A man may have the right to jeopardize his own lif s by depending on the Creator to work a miracle for his benefit,' but he has no right to en danger he lives of others over whom ha may have control, how ever, coi scientious he may be about the mat er. i Twin Ca ves.
