THURSDAY, JULY 30th 1914 To some the giving of pain to others seems the highest pleasure. ? * The dawn of a new era in the history of Mexico is near at hand. * * # * Some people find a joke in everything. Indeed their very existence is a joke. * # The greatest power possessed by man is often the least cultivated and used?the power of mind. * Expect not to accomplish in a day that which, if rightly done, will take years to accomplish. +*** Men disagree. So will men and women. It began away back yonder in the garden of Eden. ' r * "*r - """ * * It is the man who is spending an utterly useless life who is forever running down the lives of others. * * * * Never underestimate the power or influence of others. Even a drone in a bee hive has some purpose for being there. * * * When you have done the best you could in this world, angels could do no better. But what a difference there is between men and angels. * ? It takes strong men to stand up under the strain of a campaign such as the candidates are now making for the United States Senate. * * * It is a mistake for anv m?n tn ,, V. J to carry the burden of the whole world. Several have tried it and wound up in the lunatic asylum. ? * Life was never destined to be a pathway strewn with roses all the way. Why was Adam ordered to earn his living by the sweat of his brow. * * * Why send off the money to mail order houses thus helping to put a crimp in the sails of the local retailer? It is neither fair nor right. ? * The man who is interested in lib local affairs and who wishes to see hb neighbors thrive as well as himself will spend his money at home with his home merchants. * * * * What will you do with the man whc starts in to talk to you and shoots questions at you faster than you ear answer them? Just let the questions go unanswered. * * * Trade with the people who are voui neighbors in the same town and thus keep the money at home where it will circulate and circulate again. It is bad policy to send it, off to the bin stores in the large cities. * * There are but few political jobs in this State that carry a good salary, Why some men will go through the fire and flood that they do in trying to be elected to them is more we could ever understand. The candidate for public office has to count on spending: as much for charity as he can spare, his gifts limited only be the size of his pile. A candidate seems to think that any request for aid made to him must be met by his hearty response or he may lose votes by refusing-. ' This is a mistaken idea as we see it. * s w + Is marriage a failure as the numberless records in the divorce courts would indicate? It is a success when husband and wife recognize the weakness that nature, has placed in both and they determine to forgive and forget. When they are not willing to forgive each day if necessary it would have been best to remain single. ? * * This paper is in favor of trading at home with the home merchants instead of sending money away to the large cities giving others with whom we are not concerned, the benefits of the profits. To that end we have arranged for a series of editorial artic les which wiil appear in this paper from time to time. We hope they will be read by everybody. & * * * The campaign for the United States Senate gets hotter a.id hotter as the meeting's go on. Already il has more than outstripped the weathc r. Pollock and Jennings easily find the material with which they can attack the records of Please and Smith, and neither of them has been mild in the attacks. Like as not before the campaign is over some of these four candidates will come to blows. Smith has said that no man can call him a liar and get off with it. It is so easy in the heat of a hot campaign to say that the other fellow has lied in the course of his speech, especially when there is no easy way in which the statements he has made can be successfully contradicted. * * * * The habit of reading is a good way to store up knowledge if the reading is done in the right way. The habit some people have fallen into of scanning what they read, often failing to get the true sense of the words on the the printed page and really getting the wrong idea that the writer meant to convey, is worse than no reading so far as knowledge is concerned. A man will learn much from looking and listening in the right manner, and if he has learned to depend on these he will store up much from observation, and that knowledge gained in that way is of more use than what is retained from hurried readin* I'm. *.*? ' ? * * * * ' You may hate to work and labor in the avocation or profession that you have chosen. At times your lot may seem hard and that your job certainly must be the hardest of any man's on earth. You may long for the enervating atmosphere of the mountains or the cooling breezes of old ocean to rest your nerves. You may decide like some already have that work and labor are not necessary for you, at least that you are not obliged to do it, that you can get along without it. But you can always remember that there is a .satisfaction coming to the man who does his work and does it the very best he can, and who sticks to his post through thick and thin, serving others day in and day out; such as can never come to him who shirks. No matter how hard the task may become there is never any real pleasure in quitting. The reward comes through patiently sticking to it. * * * rvivctd a iv Measurements of human eyes demonstrate that there is probably nc such thing in the world as an absolutely perfect eye. That would be a miracle which Nature with all her infinite ingenuity has never performed No human face among all the world's sixteen hundred million may be hel( perfect, either artistically or phisiologically. To the owner of the face this is relatively an unimportant matter, but to the owner of the pair ol eyes an error of one thrce-hundrcdtl ; of an inch in the curvature or dimen ; sions of the eyeballs may make theii all-important function abnormal, re i suiting in eye-strain with its attend ant physical ills. The eye responds to the slightest physical force in the world, that is, light waves which are hundreds of millions o times more infinitesimal than soum waves. The eves nve V?o..n?o< ? .T W ?. ??< V/ V**v Hill I II O worked of all organs, and the safetj and existence of human lives frcquently depend directly on their accurate working. The harmful result* ? of eye-strain, never wholly absenl I throughout life, may begin very earl> ! in childhood, even in the second year ' Many little children, for instance, an constantly tearing their clothes, hurting their foot and legs, stumbling am i I falling, because their eyes are sc , 1 faulty that their estimate of size, lo ( ( cation and nature of objectf are 1101 correctly made. Adults who hav< been blind and are suddenly giver good vision, require years to learn tc 'W* w si ?? see with accuracy or safety in action. T# Probably 6 per cent of children are I J left-handedness left eyedness causing left handedness. From 6 to 10 years of age many children show an incomprehensible "nervousness," twitching of the hands and face, tickle appetite and various disorders, all usually due to eye-strain. Yet almost ^ all of these cases cf eye-strain can be relieved, and should be relieved in aM early childhood. The importance of tn correcting this condition early in the sa child's school years, and the influence fG of such a condition in the education and development of the child must be , apparent to every parent and teacher. 00 * * * * DELAY IN CANCER. be In the present state of knowledge the chief hope of reducing the cancer pc death rate is found in early recognition of the disease followed by pi prompt and competent surgical i pC treatment. Thousands of lives now! needlessly sacrificed could be saved if the average cancer patient would go il i i n.? iu a mu j.',vw:i iis promptly as (iocs me | "" average person attacked by appendi- | citis. Nor is there any reason why l0; the cancer patient should not seel: this, the only safe treatment with the r ^ f o same high degree of confidence in the outcome that is now common among those suffering from the latter (lis- hi ease. Unfortunately, the evidence is th only too clear that a different attitude toward cancer prevails and occasions O 2 many preventable deaths. The almost * superstitious dread of the disease and the unwillingness to admit its exis- i tenco or to seek medical advice in av time are well known and difficult ok- , I staclcs to progress in its control, j ^ i IYo< f of this fatal neglect is found in ! ^ . ! the experience of a New York surgeon l who recently studied his case records in order to obtain definite informa. tion as to delay in the averago#*case. to Among his last two thousand pa- ! tients there were 86 cases of cancer. ^ Sixty five of these had never been op- : erated on, and came to him as new ^ cases. Of the 65 patients, 35 were ' men and 30 were women. Further n< study of these 65 cases showed that eg after the first discovery of a tumor, or after the first suspicious symptoms the men had waited an average of ' 1 mnntVlC /inncnlf!.-./. > -~U-. #Vl ?...u..v<>u uviui v. vuuouiuiijk; u jj?y j 1,1 sician, and the women had waited fr 11.9 months; practically a year's de- ; m lay in all cases. Another well known 1\^ confirmed this estimate from his own experience. Winter of Koenigsberg, | V-1 Prussia, the pioneeer in the education tl ' of the public in regard to cancer, an- T< alyzed the records of J,002 operable s cases and showed that 87 per cent, of j these patients could and should have j applied for treatment much earlier, j ; when they would have had a far high- in . er chance of recovery than was ac- I A tually the case. To the delay after the symptoms r , ,j.r are manifest must bo added the indef- J . inite time after the beginning of the in 1 disease before the patient recognizes ni the trouble. This period can be shortened by education. Fortunately the symptoms of cancer are present quite early and can usually bo recognized ' if the patient understands their im- j 1}1 ; i portance. In too many instances, j so however, the disease is not suspected until the symptoms are pronounced n( ; or until there is a tumor of consider1 able size. If we assume that this period averages six months, and then s< 1 add the year's delay for which the n1 patient is responsible, we find that the average patient does not seek advice until at least a year and a half after jn ' the onset of cancer. This precious time thrown away means, if not fatal outcome, at least a serious instead of a minor operation. Science has not O yet found the cause of cancer. It is sc 1 not known how it is contracted or m how it is transmitted from one patient to another. We do not know how to prevent it. Some day we will P( ' know. Meanwhile, cancer is increasj ing rapidly. The best advice and the rp only advice that can be given to the public, with our present knowledge, ' is, to have every suspicious sore or lump removed and removed early. fi j Carolina Wholesale to Open. r P Among the latest enterprises in \ ir - Conway is the Carolina Wholesale y, 3 which will be open for business on i August 1st, in the brand new brick 3 bllildinir lUSt COmnletorl in i\ir> cumn _ ^ ? .
