WILLIAMS WAS CONFIRMED
Senate Acted FavOrably On His Nom.
inatiOn AS Controller of
the Currency.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The nomina
ton of John Shelton Williams, of Vir-
ginia, now assistant secretary of the
treasury, to be controller of the cur
rency, and, as such, ex-oficio member
of the Federal reserve bank board, was
confirmed by the Senate in executive
session late today.
The only opposition to the cOnfrma-
ton of Mr.. Williams was voiced by
Senators Bristow, of Kansas, and Will
liam Alden Smith, of Michigan. Sena-
tor Bristow reviewed the action of Mr.
Williams in depositing funds with the
Munsey Trust Company when it took
over the United States Trust Company
in this city to avert panic.
Senators Reed, of Missouri; Martin:
of Virginia, and Chiffon, of West Vir-
ginia, praised the ability of the Presi-
dents nomnee for the important post
and urged his confirmation.
There was no roll call on the con-
firmation and the only voice heard
against it was that of Senator Bristow
when the viva voce vote was taken.
Mr. Williams becomes an immediate
member of the organization committee
now holding hearings in the West tc
determine on locations for the Fedora
reserve banks and the new controller
will prepare to join his colleagues
Secretaries McAdoo and Houston, as
soon as possible.

The Peoples Bank, not yet year old
by comparing it's statements with
those of young banks for like period
OF initiative existence, has indeed made
a record that should be a pride alike
to it's promoters and the city.
We know of no other bank in any
other town that for a like period of
formulative career can afford to invite
comparison with the Peoples Bank of
Goldsboro
Officered as it is by sagacious bnsi-

a paid up capital that guarantees ao :

in the year. The one-time reasons for
an exodus have ceased to be, and the
reasons for an inflow from other and
less fruitful and kindly regions to the
South are becoming more widely
known and more convincing every
year. The movement should now be
from the West to the South, and it
was one of the leading men of that
once agricultural Mecca who lately
proclaimed: The future belongs to
the South if the men of the South
will only have it SO. Southern farm
land under your rare climate, can
yield more for the feeding and cloth

give only a small part of the wealth
they are meant to give and can be
made to give"

readily the great advantages and
adaptabilities of the South are inn

vantage of it to keep on emphasizing

Congress Is Told That Cancer Can
Be Cured Only by the Use of
Expensive Metal.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Radium was
described today to the House commit

the disease which experts before the
committee labelled rebel against all
the laws that govern human tissue.
Four men who have devoted years
of study to cancer appeared at the re-
quest of the committee to which have
been referred resolutions empowering
the President to withdraw from entry
public lands known to contain radium
bearing ores. They were DR.. Howard
A. Kelly, of Baltimore; DR.. Robert
Able, of New York; Director Gaillord
of New York State Institution for the
Study of Malignant Diseases, and DR.
c. F. Burnham, of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity. ALI the doctors agreed that
the crying need of their work was
more radium of which there is less
than two grams in reduced form now
in the United States.
Discussing the case of Representa-
tive Bremner, of New Jersey, who is
undergoing radium treatment in Balti

tain cure could be effected if more
radium were available, as it was he
said the patient showed encouraging
symptoms.
DIR. Kelly added that he and his as
sociates were working to discover ;
process for the reduction of radiun
from the ores of Colorado. But ont
concern now furnished radium to th'
medical profession, he said, and it
formula for reduction is held secret.
The committee will meet again Wed
nesday.

announced that the men who he'll

Judging from press reports the ma
jority of the citizens of Goldsboro
have acquired the habit of promenad-

attempts to get away, some one yanks

the direction of the fleeing culprit.
Sometimes the bullets Strike their

However, this gun toting" habit is
a bad one and should be discouraged.

IRW|N-GRANTHAM
LOVELY HOME WEDDING OF WIDE
INTEREST IN THIS CITY

In the presence of the parents OF the
groom, who had come on from Rome
Ga, for the happy event, and that of
the immediate family of the fair young
bride, and a small circle of especial
friends, Miss Annabel Grantham, tn
lovely, popular and accomplished
daughter of Mr.. John M. Grantham,
and Mr.. Ralph Irwin, rising young
business man Of Atlanta, were happily
welded last night at o'clock, the
ceremony being very quiet by reason
of the recent bereavement in Mr.
Grantham's home.
The ceremony took place in the
South par1or of the beautiful home of
the bride, where a lovely bridal arch
and alcove had been constructed, built
of pines and palms and ferns an6
adorned with profusion of white and
pink carnations and lighted candles
Here the mutual VOWS were softly
plighted before the officiating minis
ter, Rev. Geo. T. Watkins, pastor of
the First Baptist church, the bride
gowned in a becoming travelling suit
of brown, with hat to match, and soon
with several of the brides young
friends were driven by her brother
Mr.. Raymond Grantham, in his large
touring car to Selma, where they took
the train over the Southern for Sa-
vannah, where they will spend their
honey moon, and then go to the home
of the groom's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Irwin, in Rome, Ga, for awhile
before taking up their abode perma
nently in Atlanta.
The ceremony last evening was pre-
ceded by a family dinner, of the old
Southern style in all it's appointments |
of festivity and easy hospitality, and
in the drawing room adjoining some
lovely presents were displayed.
The happy young couple have all in
life to make them happy, and GER
tainly do their hosts of friends wish
them length of days and all that is
bright and good.
The popular young bride will be
greatly missed in Goldsboro, and her
friends are already beginning to look |
forward to visit from her home.
