I Doctors Are At Break Unable To Care For Wright Declares; Doctors are at the breaking ] point and are unable to oare for all the indigent sick in the county, Dr. John B. Wright of Raleigh, president of the North Carolina Medical Society, told physicians, aentists ana relief workers at a meeting held in the courthouse at VVarrentcn on Wednesday night. The meeting was presided over by Di. G. H. Macon. Dr. J. M. Parrott, Secretary of the State Board of Health and State Health Officer, and W. T. Mattox, State supervisor of public welfare, were ppresent and addressed the meeting. I Pointing out that the sick people of a community were the physicians, means of livelihood, he said that it was no more the responsibility of doctors to care for the indigent sick of a community, than it was for the merchant to clothe this class, the grocer to feed and the banker to supply them with funds. And yet in spite cf this, physicians of the state, with the traditions cf the profession, are responding with their services in thousands of instances with no Girl Says Suitor Drew Back Guitar And Rolled Eyes "H? drew back his guitar and 1 rolled his eyes at me," Lucy Wil' liams young negro woman, tcld ' Solicitor Cromwell Daniel when she ! was asked to tell the court what 1 Elijah Blackwell, young negro man charged with carrying a concealed weaprn, did on the night of February 15 when he came to her home. , She said that she did not see him ] do anything else but offer to give her some oranges. However, a different story came from the girl's mither and from Haywood Jordan and John R. Als- ; ton who were in the home at the time. Mabel Williams testified that Blackwell came to her house and " made the statement that he had drunk a half gallon cf whiskey and ' was there for the purpose of rais- ' ing hell. She said that Blackwell not only threatened her daughter but also threatened her with his ] guitar and pulled a pistol out of ] hie Viin rvvlrpf-. .T.crdan and Alston I < said that they saw the gun and j heard Blackwell tell the Williams woman that he would not leave her , home until he got ready. I Blackwell testified that he went to the Williams' home because he ] received a message asking to come over there that night. He denied threatening anybcdy and said that* ' the only whiskey he drank was a '' drink the Williams woman gave ' him. Judge Taylor found the defendant ( guilty and sentenced him to jail, 1 assigned to work the roads, for a ' I period of six mcnths. J j As a result of Blackwell's conduct at the Williams' home his mother ' and brother fell into the toils of ] the law. When officers came to his home to make an arrest on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon, Florence Blackwell refused the officers entrance to the home and John Henry Blackwell hid Elijah in a trunk. 1 The court found Florence Black- 1 well not guilty and John Henry i Blackwell guilty. Judgment was < suspended upon John Henry provided he pay the costs in the action. 1 B. D.

With the number of indigent sick greatly increased by the depression, the doctors have reached the breaking point where they are no longer financially able to carry on this work, he continued. Some relief must be furnished to at least allow the physicians to obtain the cost of the gasoline used and to pay for the wear and tear on their cars. Such relief is not only necessary, but eminently just and is a public respinsibility, he added. Dr. Wright told how the American public annually spent $850,000,000 for patent medicines, wasting enough money to properly care ior the indigent sick, and flayed the United States government for the policy of the patent office in allowing patents on Gcd given itmedies so that the sick might be charged outrageous prices tor the products. He said that remedial legislation was badly needed and suggested that the comities (Continued on Page 8) Final Literary Digest Poll Indicates Victory For F. D. Roosevelt Franklin D.
