THE FIGHT ON CANCER c
v . e
Everybody should be gratified to j ^
' fc
know that the doctors have taken up I
Is
the fight against cancer, and that the a
fight hereafter will be an organized
effort to prevent the disease and les- f
sen the suffering which it has brought n
into the world. |s
It was only a few years ago thatiS
the fight against the white plague j n
was inaugurated. The doctors were
the leaders in that fight. Their knowl- v
edge, their better means of making a
observations, and their advice,? is
these have contributed to the success j rr
of the fight against tuberculosis, so d
that today the death rate from this) p
disease has been reduced from a lit- is
tie more than two to 1.26 per one
thousand of population. Perhaps the g
figures would be lower than this even 'f(
except for the influenza contagion's]
which swept the country two or'n
three years ago, and whfch contribut- j s]
ed in large measure to help the tu- h
bercle bacillus do his deadly work.
What better milk, better food, ~
cleaner homes, cleaner streets, clean- (Jj
, f er premises, purer air and the warm |
sunshine have done under the direc-'p
tion of the doctors for the white. J
plague, either the knife or some oth-'g
er instrumentality under their direct
ing hands will do for cancer. ?
SETTLEMENT DAY. I
f\ We said a good while ago that set- jj
tlement day was at hand. There must
be a balancing of accounts. People J
?1 ? J ...u^ E
wiiu iidvc mauc ucuto auu. wuv nave let
them run along without making I
proper efforts to settle them, and L
those as well who have not been able |
, to settle such debts, are finding that ?
an accounting must be had. There J
must be a balancing of past transac- ?
tions, and a new starting point. jT
This does not mean that everybody I
who owes money is going to be closed E
out. If it meant that none of us |
would have anything to look forward [
to except the worst. But it does |
taiean that people must show a dispo- J
sition to settle and do what they can j
in that direction. Certainly those peo- J
pie who are indebted to others owe
it to thpir rrpflitnrs. as wpll as to
themselves, to make some kind of jj
showing or accounting. Those who 3
are disposed to meet their cerditors J]
half way, and who are disposed to y
do as much as they are able, have JJ
nothing to fear we think; but th:s is ^
not the time for concealment, nor is y
it the time for ignoring the just de- y
mands of others. y
Creditors according to our obser-iy
vation are always willing to do all H
they are able for the honest debtors. 3
This is a time when honesty is a 3
great asset. Now is the day when it !
pays to "come straight" as the ex- 3
pression comes. 3
If we would give advice to our "J
readers who owe debts it would be Jj
that fhpv nut t.Viosp to vvhomiy
* "" " a
they are indebted, make a full state- ^
ment of CMiditions, show a disposi- ^
tion to do all possible towards meet-:|i
ing obligation?, and show a spirit of u
co-operation in helping to carry the j
country over its present state of de- L
pression. It is well, too, to remember
that the man you owe, owes somebody
else, and that other person
wants an explanation from his debtors.
A good understanding all around i
is greatly to be desired. j
MRS. R. C. DAVIDSON j
i
A dispatch to the Statesville Land-jmark
from Mooresville, N. C., tells IS
of the death November 1 of Mrs. Re-J J
becca Williams Davidson, wife of the^
Rev. R. C. Davidson, at one time pas-jj
-tor of the A. R. P. church in Abbe-'I

ville. Mrs. Davidson was 50 years old I
and a native of West Virginia. The jj

before his wife and she had never [
been told of his death. i

year for administering it.
"My agents in Philadelphia inormed
me that Mrs. Bergdoll did

DEATH OF ALLEN MARTIN I
The A. R. Presbyterian has the following
account of the death of Allen
Martin:
The death of Mr. Martin occurred (
Thursday of last week at his home x
a few miles north of Due West. He
had been ill for months. He was taken j
in the spring to John Hopkins Hos- ^
pital for an operation. On thorough
examination it was found that an c
operation would not prove beneficial. *
So he came home to await the result. ,
' J
I He was apparently better for a short
: while after his return. But soon he
I began losing ground again. Mr. Mar- i

daughters were present, some of them
coming from a distance. Among them
was Mr. Robert Martin, a prominent,
young attorney from Greenville. His
brother, Mr. Calvin Martin of Donalds
was present and many other relatives
and friends. Though suffering
with a fatal malady, Mr. Martin was
cheerful until the end. A large number
of' friends and relatives mourn
his passing away.

The Irish situation, it was frankl;
admitted in official circles, is in ai
extremely critical stage. It is under
stood that the Ulster premier inform

not possibly think of shoulderinj
the responsibility of accepting th
proposals made to him t)y the primi
minister, and would be compelled ti
consult his colleagues in the Ulste:
parliament and also the representa
tives of the Ulster parliamentary
group in Westminster.
Sir James Craig authorized th<
statement that Mr. Lloyd George ha<
consented to meet the Ulster dele
gation after their meeting with Si:
James.

on Thursday^ meeting and, if th>
TTl?tor ronreapntnt.ivps definitelv re
ject the compromise proposals it i
regarded as possible that Mr. Lloyi
George will carry out his threat t<
resign from office.
