DEATH and SUICIDE
Husband Found Dead at BenbeW HO-
tel While wife Dies In Durham
Hospital About Same Hour.

Greensboro, Dec. "a.
Two tragic deaths occurred yester-
day which marked the passing Of hus-
band and wife at about the same hour.
DR.. G.. F. Burbank, former resident
of Greensboro, who was said to be a
first cousin of Luther Burbank, the
noted plant wizard, of California. was
found dead in his bed at room OF the
Benbow hotel. His wife died in hos
pital at Durham about the same time.
When it was discovered that he was
dead bell boy went to his room to
deliver q telegram announcing the
death of his wife. Mrs. Burbank died
OF stomach trouble, while it is thought
that DIR. Burbank died from an over
dose of morphine,
About nine O'Clock q telegram came
to the hotel office addressed to DR..
Burbank. A bell boy was sent to take
it to his room. In short order the boy
returned and said that something
was wrong with Burbank. The clerk
went up to the room and found him
cold in death.
The coroner was notified, and he ex-
amined the body but an inquest was
deemed unnecessary.

AN OPPORTUNITY.
GOldSborO Is Admirably Located for
Just Such an Institution.

GO1dsbOrO, by reason of our unsur-
passed railroad advantages. can cater
to the personal needs of 25O, 600 people,
who can leave their homes in the
morning, spend several hours in
Goldsboro, and return home by bed
time.
DIR. L. Shaw Andre, who has been in
our city for some time, will leave for
Norfolk, Va, tomorrow to spend the
rem ainder of the holidays.
While in conversation with this gen.
tleman today. he stated that he has
not only been very much impressed
with Goldsboro during his short stay
he,e, but that he is seriously contem-
plating making Goldsboro his perma-
nent place OF residence. That his
headquarters from a professional stand
point will be removed to North Caro-
lima during the coming year is posi-
tive. The exact location, however,
has in view in central and eastern Car
olina.
It is learned that he has under way
plans for the erection of a modern Eye.
Ear and Throat Infirmary, and will in
the near future be open to propositions
from these towns with view to ascer-
tanning just what inducement they
may have to offer in way of site, etc.,
to secure the Institution, in return for
which the hospital will take its name
from, nj ond f.
ment in which free medical and surgi-
Cal attention will be rendered to the
poor within the borders of the State for
the diseases specialized. The institu-
ton will be the first of it's class south
of Baltimore, and will maintain staff
of specialists whose competency will
obviate the necessity of going to North
ern cities tor the more difficult opera
| tions.
Whilst it is deemed inadvisable by
DR.. Andre at this time to make public
the names of those directly connected,
| it is known that a we'll known North
Carolina physician who is now tahing
post graduate work at Manhattan Hos
pital, New York, and who will during
the coming spring or summer, 90 to
| England, for clinical studies ON diff
1erent branches of eye diseases at the
Royal London (Merfield>) Opthallnic
Hospital, has been selected for house
surgeon and will also occupy the posi-
ton of v1ce-president of the institu.
Ition.

nection with The Andre Optical Com
pany September 1st, 1909, in order thai
his entire attention may be given te

SOME ELECTION FIGURES.
Mr.. Taft's Vote Largest Ever POIled
bV Presidential Nominee.

William III. Taft received on Novem-
ber 8 last the greatest popular vote
ever given to a candidate for President
of the United States. His plurality of
the popular vote has been exceeded in
only one instance, that OF President
Roosevelt in 1904. His majority of the
entire vote has been exceeded only
for Roosevelt and for Grant in 1872.
Taft's plurality was 1,265, 1882, and
his majority over all 459,530. The
total vote this year was Ia. 1893 ,O46.
Roosevelt's plurality in the record
election of 1904 was 2,545, ,515, in total
of 6,466. 6.165 in 1872 President Grant
had plurality of 762, ,991. The votes
for minor candidates in 1872 amounted
to only about $4,000.
The election years since and includ-
ing 1895 have been the years of great
popular rnajorities, if we except the
isolated plurality for Grant in 1872.
Mckinley had COL 1854 in 1896 and $40.
100 in 1900. Prior to 1872 the heavit st
pluralities were those tor Buchanan
496, ,9O5-in 1897, and for Lincoln
49l. 195-in 1860. Between 1872 and
1896 the pluraIities were comparative
ly small, and in two instances the
winning candidate fell below his prin-
cipal rival in popular votes. Tilden,
defeated in 1876. had plurality OF
26O, 1885, while Cleveland had plurali-
ty of SO O17 when Harrison was elected
in 1888. Garfield had only 7,O1S plu-
rality in 1850, while Cleveland had
62, ,683 in 1884 and O,8lO in 1892.
Roosevelt and Taft are the only ones
who have passed the 800 mark in the
choosing of Presidential electors.
Roosevelt holds The record with 1856. |
which gave him a plurality of 1876 in
the college, while Taft will have 321
and plurality of 159 in the college. |
Grant, with 286 electoral votes in 1872, |
had majority of 223 in the electoral
college, while Franklin Pierce, with a |
total Of 254, had a majority et 2l2 in
the electoral college chosen in 1862
