ALWAYS WORTH THE LIVING
Dependency Only OF the Moment anu

cheerfulnees.

Of course we have all heard the
query, "1s life worth living"
Perhaps we've asked it of our
selves many times, in moments OF
Encouragement, when all things
seemed to be working for the darker
side, and the sunlight of hope was
for the time being obscured by heavy
clouds. -.
Many are the answers fact, all
humanity from the very beginning
has been responding to the great
challenge-and we are today the liv-
ing exponents of the problem.
If my life, your life and the life
of our neighbor has been "lived" anc
holds the power to keep on doing SO
then YES, a thousand times, our hve'
are worth living!
But if, for some or many reasons
these lives have been spent IN day
of idleness, or worse, the answer 1

niable failures which arc the out
come of such waste.
People who are in earnest abou

SEVERAL LOCAL CASES
HOOKWORM DISEASE
DISCOVERED THIS WEEK
BY
A HOOKWORM SPECIALIST
Nearly 40 Per Cent of School
Children Examined Affected
With This Dread Disease

DR.. E. A. Campbell of Little
Rock is in our town in the interest
of the eradication of Hook worm
disease. He is working under
the direction of the Rockefellow
Commission, the intention of
which is to eradicate the disease
from the Southland. In an inter
view, DR.. Campbell says: Hook
worm disease has been described
for three centuries in Brazil and
other foreign countries. 1t was
described by the Southern slave
owners for more than a century
ago, but it's real cause has been
known but a few years. The
worm lives in the human intestine
and propagatas it's own specie
by depositing eggs, which are
passed by the bowel. The egg
matches out in a few days under
proper conditions, whichcompris-
es moisture, warm climate and
preferably sandy soil. The young
worm is too small to be seen by
the naked eye, which is the form
of entrance to the human body.
This takes place on any portion
of the skin, but more commonly
in the feet. After it's entrance
into the skin, it is carried to the
lungs by the blood, where it is
later coughed up and swallowed.
After being swallowed, it finds
it's way to the small intestine,
where it attaches to the lining
and there develops into the full

about the affairs of the neighbor-

be said against the chewing of
tobacco. this at least can be said
for it-that it gives men time to
think between sentences.
An enterprising newspaper
published only that part Of my
speech and headed it, Advocates
the Chewing Of Tobacco" A fac
simile Of that article was, I under
stand, circulated with the adver
tisement ofa certain tobacco firm.
The whole point of the thing was
missed. [ wasn't advocating the
chewing tobacco; / was advocat-
ing thinking between sentences.
Our schoolhouses, scattered
all through the countryside and
in the cities, are closed for the
most part from the school session
of one day to the school session
of the next day. They are pub
lie buildings. They belong to the
communities. They furnish ideal
places in which to assemble and
discuss public affairs. They are
just what we need for our neigh
borhood conferences of every
kind"
Some Of the functions Of our
country churches are neglected.
The churches used to be the CEN
ters of our social activities and
of our social thinking in the old
days in America. There is no
reason why church should not
be place where people gather
to discuss the things that are
fundamental to the success and
and happiness of our lives. Sim
} ilarly, there is no reason why the
schoolhouses should not be used
for that purpose.
IF the people get together in
frequent conferences in the build
ings that belong to them they be-
gin to make that most tremend-
Gus thing-public opinion. Then
the primaries begin to mean

10 my credit on your most valuable
paper.
Now, Mr. Editor. we want to have
2 few words TO say IL you have no
objection.
We were talking with an old-line
democrat the other day who said that
he was looking for four more years
NJ hard times. He seems to think
that the Democrats were going TO win
this fall and that meant four more
Gears hard times; but We do not
dence in the people 10 believe that
th.v will not vote again for another
Democratic administration which
would mean farm produce below ze-
TO.
Mr. Editor, we believe that with
Mr.. Settle for Governor, Mr.. More
head for State Chairman and eX-Sen-
ator Butler for National Committee
man that the Republican party has a
fair chance TO win North Carolina
this fall.
We notice that the News and OBJ
server said that Mr.. Roosevelt had
Joined Annanias' band. which would
mean that he had joined the Dema-
cratic party, but everybody knows
that Mr.. Roosevelt is not a Democrat.
We want to say that We believe that
s. per cent of Wayne County is for
the present State organization, and
while we are for Roosevelt, we are
for an uninstructed delegation.
