The meeting was called to order if* ? the appointment of Dr. J. N. jfili as acting president, and E. E. Adams as acting secretary, in tjhe abf-ence of Drs. Webb and Morrow, of Andrews, president and secretary respectively, of the Cherokee Coun ty .Society. The meeting was open- I ed to general discussion of the phas es of practice of medicine in the mountain counties, and an exchange of reminiscenses between the older members of former meetings of the State Medical Society. After a soc ial hour President Hill called upon Pr. Burris for a speech. In bis speech Pr. Burris stated that the main thing he wanted io accomplish during his presidency of the State Medical Society was the complete organization of the physi cians of the state into active societies, active in themselves, active in their indorsement of the activities of the State Medical Society, especially ir. their support of the North Carolina State Board of Health, and of tbi* North Carolina State Board of Ex aminers, and active in their cooper ation with each other as societies, and as individuals. He urged that in cooperation only could the objectives of any group of men be obtained, rot. iteration based upon mutual re spect and loyalty to the medical pro fession. "Love your profession,** be urged, "as Bertrand loved Napoleon. Cooperate with each other collective ly md individually. Place your pro fession before all else in your inter ests. even before your family. Let your slogan be Loyalty, Sincerity, Service." I ? !*. Lau^inghouse also emphasized thi- necessity of organized medicine Bn , j and mutual cooperation. His life s work is the field of preventive medi cine. and he asked the aid of all phy sicians in the promotion of his plans for prevention of disease. He point ed out that while there had been a marked decrease in the prevalence of such diseases as diptheria, small- 1 pox, typhoid and malaria fever, and tuberculosis, there had been a mark ed increase in the diseases of the kidneys and heart, and in . cancer. Theso latter conditions, he further emphasized, could be prevented if seen early, and urged physicians to advocate periodic health examina tion^ among their patients, so that these conditions may be discovered early. He further pointed out that the average person in North Caro lina lost one week each year in sick ness, a loss of three million weeks each year in North Carolina, as the population is now three million. He emphasized the great economic prob lem in this loss, and stressed the great service of physicians to the **ty in the prevention of this loss. He originated a new idea that every efeild born in North Carolina was worth ten thousand dollars to hi.? *tote a birth, quoting insurance statistics to prove that the average Jjtolt, during his life expectancy of tfty-eight years earned for his state orty-one thousand dollars more than spent Based upon these figures showed that the material worth the population of North Carolina, 01 work hours and dollars and cents, 2 sixty billion dollars.

BEING SURVEYED, Grading Will Probably Start Novem- | ber First, Engineer Say* A survey of the proposed highway J from Murphy to the Tennessee line j by way of the so-called Hot Houst Route is now under way and grad- ! inir will probably begin by Novem ber i. John C. Walker, engineer for the i-'th district of the State High way Department announced yester day afternoon. Fifty thousand dollars hajs been donated by Cherokee County for the project, it was stated, and other funds will be made available by the State Highway Department. Approx imately seven miles of the proposed highway were graded by the county several years ago. The new highway will form a link between the systems of North Caro lina and Tennessee. A macadam road connecting Chattanooga and | other Tennessee cities, already . touches the North Carolina boun dary. ? Asheville Citizen, September 2. T have been advised by several of the farmers that they yet have a few fat hogs for sale. If we ha\7e enough for a car load we could ship them next week. We should have at least 65 head. The price will likely drop before long and we had better act at once. If you have a fat hog to sell please advise me at once and I will try and get them on the market. Perhaps we can get part of the load in Clay County if we act now as they are going to sell while the price is right. R. W. GRAY, County Agent. North Carolina, he concluded, aside from the humane point of view, to keep North Carolina's three million people in good health, and again urged the profession to organize and cooperate, warning them that in another decade the proportion of doctors to the population would be much less than it is now, and that only in organization and cooperation could their work be done.
