THE ENTERPRISE
CONDITION IN MARTIN
COUNTY NEEDS ACTION
TO SAFEGUARD PIMPLE
More Drastic Steps Should be Taken
at Once to Ch»ck the Increase
In Tuberculosis
•Tuberculosis i son the increase in
Martin county.
The records from tile state as a
whole show a saving of 300 lives la
year over the year previous, but ou
county has not kept pare with t
rest of the state in this .paricuh-r
field.
Fifteen out of ever yhundred w
died last year were farmers. In ;
tual numbers there were 388\yhotli
of this diseaese. This is, perhaps re
startlin gta a great many people w!
bePeve that, like the poor ,we mu
always have tuberculosip with us. T 1 ■
fact is .however, that each and ever
one of these deaths was preventah
and such an enormous loss among i i:
farmers should stir us to action.
Another significant fact is tl>
more deaths occurred among the f:
mors than occurred among those v'
arg engaged in indoor work, such n
teachers .stenographers, dofikl.eepr i
clerks, mill workers ,et\, the numb
of deaths among those engaged i
such occupations being 310.
It would seem that the farmei i
not as viglant in regard to his h n ull
as he should be. A periodic me-l'c
examinaion is not a cure-all, but
would have been a life saver in
great many of these cases.
The North Carolina Tuberculosis i
sociation, an"organization which i
supported by the sale of Tuberculo
Chrf?tm;is seals, contnues to hold frr
tuberculosis tflinics and will glail
send a specialist to any point in Nor'
Carolina where the people arc int r
ested in finding the cases of tubrcv
losis in their community. Finding th
cases is ,of couree, the first ste'i. Th
if the people really mean bus
arrangements'should be made tp giv
proper treatment to those cases wh el
are curable.

AT ATLANTIC HOTEL
THE BAKACA CLASS OF WILIAM
STON BAPTIST MEMORIAL
ENTERTAINS PHI LATH
EAS WITH BANQUET ,
The most enjoyable and enthusias
tic sociable event to happen within
religious circles durin gthe fall seer
son in Williams ton, was the banquet
in honor of the Baptist Phlatnea class
on the evening »f November 17th, giv
eu by the Baracas of the Baptist Me
morial church, in the dining room of
the Atlantic hotel, this city.
The banquet hall was very tasteful

Joyner; a toast "To the Philettwm
Class," by Mr. J. E. Harrtll, met with
a hearty reply from Mrs. Warren H.

spirit in the tine work these i»u»uay
school organizations are doing for
church and the community at large.
Mr. Ashby Dunn of Scotland Nee*
made the principle address o fthe oc
casion, and it was an eloquent and
stirring appeal, deigned to iiiNp.re-his
listeners to still greater heights of
success in the Baraca-Philathea
work.
Ottkered by a strong personnel *f
prominent young men of the city, this
iiaraca class has a live and
growing membership," and possibly no
where in the state isth ere a stronger
union of its kind. A {filiated with this
class i athe Philathea, whose gener

of the strong aaeets of the Baptist
Memorial church here.
Provided on the menu was: cream
