The bi-monthly meeting of the
Robson County Medical Society
held here yesterday was perhaps
the most enjoyable meeting the
society has ever held.
A short business session was
held in the morning, the only
business transacted being the
admission to membership of DIR.
Thurman D. Kitchin, who has
located in Lumberton since the
last meeting of the society. The
society then adjourned to the
opera house, where a treat had
secured for it's members and the
public ia the way of an address
by Prof. J. B. Carlyle, of Wake
Forest College. At12:55 the speak
er was introduced by Mr.. S. Nc
Intyre in an exceedingly neat
and appropriate speech of some
eight minutes. Prof. Carlyle,
who, as Mr.. Mcintyre said in his
Introductory remarks, is so well
known that he needs no intro
duction either in Robson, his
native county, or anywhere else
in the State, spoke for about 35
minutes. 1t is to be regretted
that he did not have a much
larger audience. His subject
was THE Doctor of Today" anG
his remarks were addressed
primarily to the doctors, but he
was, as always, entertaining anC
Instructive and his address was
full Of excellent food for thought
for laymen as well as doctors
1t is a matter for regret thai
lack of time and space make il
impossible to give a full repor-
of his speech.
At12:55 O'Clock the members Of
the society and invited friends
repaired to the Waverly hotel
where an elaborate dinner was
served. This occupied the time
until we'll into the Afternoon
