From Satu1 days Daily.
Goldsboro has had the honor of hav-
ing within it's gates for two days,
counse1ing our people as commune
ty and comforting with our physicians
of city and county, DIR. Charles w.
Stiles, the eminent specialist and phil
anthropist, who has undergone all
sorts of hardships and exposed him
self to most insidious lurking dan
gers while working out his analysis
and diagnoses before giving to the
world his proofs and his remedy that
hookworm is reality, the diagnosis
simple and the remedy sure.
The visit of DR.. Stiles to our city
mad been heralded for some days, and
his worldwide renown as reaog-
nized specialist and authority COM
bined to give an audience last night
Opera House and that was represent
ative of Go1dsboro, both as to intelli-
gence and philanthropic interest in
humanity.
DR.. Stiles was accompanied by Hon.
j. Y. Joyner, of Raleigh, State Super
intendent Of Public Instruction, and
a member of the Rockefeller hook
worm commission, for the eradication
of which devastating disease, or para
site, among the poorer classes of the
South who may be themselves unable
to pay for the recognized effective
treatment, Mr.. Rockefeller has set
apart one million dollars.
In the presence of the large audi
ence Mr.. J. E. Avent, superintendent
of our city schools, welcomed in fine
thought and well-chosen words, these
two eminent gentlemen to Goldsboro,
and concluded by presenting Mr.
Joyner.
DR.. Joyner, our old-time "Jim Joyn-
er" of happy and affectionate associa-
| tions Of yore and cherished memory,
his greetings to his old-time and abid-
ing friends, and after forceful pres
entation of the sublime work in which
DIR. Stiles is engaged, he presented
| that gentleman to his audience.
From his opening sentence DR..
Stiles at once engaged the attention
and held the interest of his hearers,
| who followed him from start to finish
with ever-increasing concern over the
conditions he unfolded and laid bare
before them as existing in our very
midst; and-practical man that he is,
he did not stop with showing them
these conditions; he as forcib1y pre-
scribed the remedies and urged their
| adoption. But he did not need to
urge. The appalling conditions as he
pointed them out emphasized of them
selves the need-the necessity-of the
remedy, and we feel sure that due and
speedy steps will officially be taken
unto this end.
DR.. Stiles is indeed rare man, a
rare genius, great scientist, great
and over it all the charm of pleas
ing personality that is absolutely un-
conscious of self, and in all his talks
both last night, and before the physi-
clans and Woman's Club this morn
ing, there is the entire absence of the
Ego that SO often mars the personal
ity and retards the greater usefulness
of men who have achieved grea
things.
It were useless to attempt, for /
! would be impossible to give, a resume
OF DIR. Stiles lecture last night. T
: was not only a liberal education il
: the special line to which it was de
voted, but it was, as well, in travel, il
} the differentiating characteristics o
people, and in hygiene. Moreover,
was sermon in its appeal for tn
preservation Of human life and tn
amelioration of suffering humanity
and no one who heard him can eve
henceforth in the tribunal Of thei
own conscience get away from thei
9 personal responsibility to heed th
Il cry and help in the good cause tha
he has inaugurated and is so heroic
ally promoting.
