WILLIAM CICERO HAMMER
In the sudden - iiassing of
Gonpressman IV. C. Hammer
the Seventh North Carolina
District ha.s sustained a dis
tinct loss and the state and
nation has- lost an able "and
experienced public servant.
Many thousands of words
have been written about Mr.
Hammer and his life of use
fulness aifd one of them over
state the facts. The fact about
the man that appealed to us
most strongl:^' was the abso^
lute democracy of the man.
We doubt if there has ever
been a member of Congress
who knew' more of his consti-
; tuents personally than did Mr.s
Hammer. He mingled with his
people, knew w'hat they were
thinking and w'hat they want
ed.' And better still, any con
stituent of his always found
him the same in Washington
that he was back in the dis'
trict. There, w'as none of the
snob in him. He w'a^ the same
every day and every where.
To our mind the prettiest
eulogy written about this man
w'as contained in a letter
w'hich the editor received this
Aveek from the associate edi
tor of the Courier, a paper
published in Asheboro and
owned and edited by Mr.
Hammer. Among other
things, Mr. Cox, the associate
editor, has the follo'vying to
say of Mr Hammer.
“Mr. Hammer’s death has been a
Severe blow for the entire district
and to thousands personally rto;
whom he was a true^amd'rfied friend.
Personally I almost grew up in Mr.
Hammer’s newspaper office and have
served in every capacity from devil
to associate editor. Outside of near
bin he was the best friend I ever
had. Of all hfe wonderful traits, I
think his best was his loyalty to
friends. I have never known Mr.
Hammer to desert a frieni, no mat.
ter how high or low in life he may
have been. It- is easy to be a friend
to a successful man: but more dif.
1 cull to befriend a man who has
dropped toward the depths. Mr.
Hammer never deserted a friend in
sucoess or defeat and the lower he
may have fallen, the closer Mr. Ham
mer stuck. We have few friends liko
that.”
The pas=ing of Mr. Ham
mer, just after attending the
funeral of his colleague', Maj.
Steadman, of_ , an adjoining
district, takes from the ranks
of the Noyth Carolina delega
tion in Congress two of its
leading men and leaves va
cant two steats that will be
' hard to fill.
AXTUM.VAL RECOGXITION. Clar.
ence Poe said recently that he is
beginning to agree with John Charles
MeXeili that the fall is the year’s
richest season. It is regrettable
that the section that gave him birth
has not Miole-heartedly realized the
greatness of this North Carolina
poet who was bom and rose to com
parative fame no farther away than
Wagram. Poe w’as probably think
ing of McNeill’s poem in praise of
Autumn in which these lines ap.
pear:

It might be questioned why a man
of the lowlands would, so. of ten bring
in hills as symbols of beauty. It
might be said that hills, like so many
things of life, are comparative. Our
country has few hills but for quiet
beauty,, no hills cculd surpass the
long, lazy, graceful -slopes where the
hike haze drifts slowly at dusk on
the Autumn days and wrapa the dark
pines as in a veil.—R. C.
CANCER WEEK.
By Dr. R. L. Murray.
The American Society for the Con
trol of cancer has set aSide the-
week of October 5.11 as cancer
week. During this time free liter,
ature will he distributed and it
is hoped that every one who ha-s
any reason to suspect that hey
have cancer will go to their family
physician for an examination..
■Cancer causes more deaths in the
U. .S than any other disease except
heart disease. Almost as many peo
ple over forty years- of age die of
cancer as of pneumonia, tuberculo.
sis and typhoid fever combined.
The chief signs that may mean
cancer are any lumps, especially in
the breast, any irregular bleeding
or discharge, any sore -that does
not heal, particularly about-the ton.
gue, mouth or lips, persistent in
digestion with loss of weight.
Cancer can be cured only if dis.
covered early. A physical examina.
tion once each year will discover
many diseases'" in the early' stages
when they are curable. So if you
have any of the above fe-ymptoms go
immediately to your family .physi
cian for a thorough examination.

Fayetteville Next -Week.
• Encouraged by their first victory,
the team goes this week to Faytte.
ville where they will try their meit.
tie against Coach Hackney’s team,
who, The Observer states, have new
nniforn^s. The traditional neighb-or.
ly rivalry between these two teams
and the fact that Fayetteville has
not won a game from Raeford since
1921, should keep both teams to a
pitch where they will be at best Fri
day. Those supporters of. Captain
Aiken’s team who journey to Fay
etteville will probably see the best
game of the year.
Line-up for last Friday’s game:
“I thank God the world is as wide as
it is,
That it’s sweet still to hope and
remember
That, for him who will seek them,
the valleys are his
And the far quiet hills of Septem
ber.”

MR AND MRS. STANLEY CRAW
LEY VISITS SON AT CAROLINA
son Billie, Mr. and Mrs. .W. J.
Crawley and Miss Mijdred Crawley.
Mr. and_ Mrs. Stanley Crawley
motored to Chapel Hill last Sunday
to -see their -kon Kermit, wiho is a
student at Carolina this year. Ac.
companying them were their littliS^JIl never have another one, but
1 promised so many that L would
write :MmethIng of the Confed^atn
Reunion at / Winston-Salem. I have
concluded to try it., though have
to use a pencil or you might not be:
able to read it.
We had to go over three_ R. R.’s
besides the Aberdeen and Rock,
fish as follows; S. A. L to Sanford,
A. & Y. to Greensboro and a South
ern to Winston. They gave us re.
duce-d rates on all three of them,
which/'^'we certainly appreciated, not
only for that,- but for the kindnes
and courtesies of conductors and
porters-.
Many of the boys are getting lame
and blind, but^there is life In them
yet. I’ve been told by a northern
lady that we “ought not hate them
aS we did-. I replied that I did not
know what they had done for us
to make us love them,” but that is
not about the reunion.
It was certainly the best I had
ever attended. "We thought Tarboro
could not be beat but we were taken
to the Robert E. Lee hotel and given
fine rooms and beds, and plenty of
the best eats, and we were jukt all
together that made it more- pleasant.
I saw a number of old friends too
numerous to mention all. But I will
tell you about Maj. J. A. Liskey, Mt.
Gilead, N. C. He is the only one of
Stonewall Jackson’s pallbearers that
is living. He is spry yet, notwith
standing he is ninety-one years old.
Another friend especially' whom I,
saw was Capt. Mangum, Superinten.
dent of the Soldiera’ 'Home. He I
think is the nearest the right man
in the place as I ever saw. Maj.
W. G. Johnson and I certainly had
the best Ijime we ever had and ll’ve
been to reunions from Dallas, Texas
io Chattanooga, Tenn.
Ttffe time nor place for the next
one was not -fixed. Some say we
- ^his is‘416?
