with the notice sent Judge
lark of the regular annual meeting
If the Trustees without any further
'eference to thei controversy was
sufficient notice to Judge Clark that
he matter would be reviewed. Mr..
AYERS that the investiga-
ton was not trial of Judge Clark,
but the investigation of statements
he had made concerning another,
and if any one was on trial it was
DR.. Kilgo. He also cites that the |
Trustees have a right to remove a
member of the body who refuses or |
n elects to discharge the duties of
a Trustee.
In Fridays News and Observer is a
reply to Mr.. Southgate's letter from
Judge Clark, in which the Judge
criticizes the strange proceeding of
condenning a man that was not on
trial and that if this was done, as
Mr.. ,uthgate asserts, it makes the
matter worse. Referring to the
claim of sufficient notice. the Judge
says: Gas well say that because
every citizen of the county knows
when court will meet, that when one
man says to another I will lay the
matter before the grand jury that
the latter can be tried by the jury
and sentenced blythe judge, without
notice and without chance to offer
evidence or argument" The Judge
reviews the several points at issue
and makes sarcastic thrusts at DR..
kilgo, terming him the mixer of the
cigarette trust, etc.
The controversy is too voluminous
for reproduction in full in our
columns and we simply give the
above brief synopsis as showing the
gist of the discussion.
NEEDS HELP.
The work at the Twin City Hos
pital has greatly increased recently
and the number of patients now is
greater, we believe, than at any
time in it's history. This fact neces-
sarily means that the necessities oil
the institution have greatly increased
and the time for larger and more
general contributions from our
| citizens is at hand. The Hospital is
doing a noble work, and the ladies
by whom it was founded have stood
by it throughout the years of its
existence with loyalty and persever
ance to a wonderful Id admirable
| degree, but these ladies cannot tanC
it would be unreasonable to expect
it, if they Gould supply all the need,
! OF the institution. The ladies Rave
Leen generously aided in the past by
our philanthropic citizens and WI
trust that now that the necessity fol
enlarged contributions is brought to
their attention the response will b,
commensurate with the needs.
Let none withhold donations
because they feel able to give only
small amounts in either cash OIL
kind Remember that the combina-
ton of small things makes great
things and that every donation
however small, will serve gooC
purpose and will be gratefully re.
ceived.
If any have any doubt that tn.
Hospital is doing a noble work W,
would advise them to visit the insti
tuition and see for themselves. They
will be surprised at the meg litud'
and perfection of the work and viii
wonder how SO much is accomplished
with such meagre resources.
The Hospital needs help now. Lei
it be promptly extended.
BANKRUPTCY BILL.
The Wilmington Messenger gives
the following brief synopsis of thu
bankruptcy bill which is likely te
pass Congress at the present session
The bill as agreed upon by TIT
conference of committees appointed
by the two houses requires that E
debtor cannot go into bankruptcy
unless an insolvent-that is he must
be debtor whose property at fail
valuation is not enough to liquidat,
his indebtedness. There are two
kinds of bankrupts, voluntary ane
involuntary. An insolyent who hal
made way with his property to de-
fraud can be forced into the bank
ruptcy court against his will, or b.
can be forced into court when he hal
disposed OF property for the purpos'
of giving a preference to any of hi,
creditors; when he has given sucf
preference by legal proceedings; wher
he has made an assignment for tn,
benefit of his creditors, and when b,
has admitted in writing that he i.
