Goldsboro weekly argus., 1909-01-14

A called meeting of the Board OF
Trustees of the Goldsboro Hospital was
held Thursday in the National Bank.
There was good attendance of the
members, and it was one of the most
hopeful and enthusiastic meetings in
the whole history OF the hospital.
For years the Board has had in their
possession an acre of land generously
donated by Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Swan
but for lack OF means they have been
unable to tprovide for the erection of
a building for the purposes of hos
pital, and they were about to forfeit
their possession of it on account OF
tt cir failure to use it for the purpose
tor which it was given. The outlook
vas tuIl of gloom, but, in very truth,
it was the proverbial dark hour thai
precedes the dawn, for when hopes
seemed crushed to earth, Mr.. Solomon
We'll came forward with his munif1cent
gift of SIS, 900 towards the erection OF a
suitable building for a hospital on tn at
lot.
With this large amount at their COM
mand the Board telt.that they are now
in a position to begin to carry into effect
the purpose for which the lot was do
mated and of securing its possession to
the city and county of Wayne for all
time to come. Their hope for the fu-
ture was still further frightened by
the generous offer of Mrs. G. B. Ay-
cock to take in personal charge the
work of securing funds necessary to
thoroughly furnish and equip the new
building, so that when completed the
city and county can boast Of hospital
that will reach the highest standard Of
modern hospitals.
Mrs. Aycock's offer as reported by
the secretary and was gratefully re-
| ceived.
To secure suff cient funds for the
erection of such a building as shall be
adequate to meet the needs of the com

On becoming dry, these caused intense
itching. I was advised to go to the
hospital for diseases Of the skin. I did
so and was an out-patient for q month
or more, the chief surgeon saying: /

But I got little or no relief. Then I
tried many so-cailed remedies, but be-
came SO bad thst [ almost gave up in
despair. On corning to this country I
heard SO many accounts Of cures by Cuti-
cura Remedies that / resolved, as q
last resource, to give them trial. This
was efter suffer ng agonies for twelve
months, and right glad am that did
SO, for was relieved Of the almost un-
bearable itching after two or three
applications Of Cuticura Ointment. I
continued its use, combined with Q
liberal use Of Cuticura Soap and CuH-
cura Resolvent Pills and am more than
thankful to say that after using three
sets of the Remedies, was completely
cured. I can only add that, should any
one be suffering as I did, hope that
they will do as did, and am sure Of
the results. b Henry Searle. 2o22 Croet

Wei! Known Citizen OF Big Creek TOwr'
ship Announces For Sheriff.

Among the new candidates
whese names are to be found IN
the Records announcement COL
umn this week is "Lum" Nc
Ginnis, a we'll known citizen OF
the good township Of Big Creek,
a faithful democratic bailiwick
that seldom furnishes a county
officer. In the campaign that has
now opened the state of Big
Creek has placed in the field one
Of her favorite sons for the Office
of Sheriff and Collector and asks
that the other parts Of the county
favorably consider his candidacy.
Mr.. McGinnis is now 30 years
of age, just the right age to
make the people good sheriff he
says,-and was born and reared
in the township that he now lives
in. His career has been made
up Of such acts that he enjoys
the confidence and respect CT his
neighbors and the friendship of
those among whom his acquain-
tance extends. He has held the
position Of constable four years
and in asking elevation to a
higher position among the people
feels himself qualified to meet
the responsibilities that would
confront him in this higher Of
flee.
He is energetic and reliable,
and we have no doubt il the peo-
ple's choice should fall upon him
he would prove his gratitude by
efficient service,

PATENT
OFFICE
FRAUDS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The i'm
proved methods of administration
instituted by Secretary Garfield, hav-
ing for their purpose the simplifica
tion of business without any loss in
accuracy or responsibility, have
proven of great value, says the head
of the department of the interior ip
his annual report made public today.
The report covers wide field, deal
ing as it does with the work of the
various bureaus embraced within its
management, the territories, national
parks and reservations, District of
Columbia, corporations, etc.
Secretary Garfield calls attention
to certain unscrupulous and unpro-
fessional acts upon the part of a
number of attorneys practfcing be-
fore the department, which resulted
in their disbarment. Some of these
have brought mandamus suits for a
restoration of their names to the list
of those entitled to practice. These
cases are now pending, but ''in the
meantime" the secretary says, "at
torneys will be notified, heard and
disbarred in all cases where | am
satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt
that their conduct as attorneys has
been disreputable, fraudulent, IL
legal, or undoubtedly unprofes-
sionaP' The recent patent Office
frauds, resulting in the confession
of one defendant, the conviction of
another and the acquital of the third
are touched upon, and the statement
is made that it was the first case of
| the kind that had occurred in the
| 11S years of patent Office history.
The commissioner of patents, it is
stated, has taken steps to provide
additional safeguards around the fl
ing of patent papers.
Regarding the movement for the
conservation of the natural resources
of the country, Secretary Garfield
says that it shows the people of the
country have fully awakened to the
vital necessity of caring for what is
1eft of the public domain.
The pension roll, as usual, piled up
an enormous death rate, 5O,676
names having been removed on this
account. OF these 34,333 were SOL
diers and sailors of theN civil war.
During the entire year the total num-
Der of pensioners on the roll was

GUN RECEPTION

Sunday night an unknown party
broke open a trunk which had been
placed on the porch in the rear of the
home of H. d. Danforth, and stole
the contents, consisting of number
of bedclothes. Neighbors residing
in the rear of the Danforth residence
saw the party at work, but thought
that it was either Mr.. Danforth or
some party who had right there.
The police were notified and are at
work on clew that will undoubtedly
place the right party in the hands of
the law.
