Reports of Secretary and Treasurer Read: Election of Executive Committee: Phenomenal Record Of The Insti tution. The Board of Directors of the Golds boro Hospital held t'.ieir regular annual meeting at that institution yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, which was pre sided over by the president of the Board, Rev. F. W. Farries, and at which the annual reports of the Secre tary of the Board and the Treasurer of the Hospital were read, and subse quently approved,and the secretary was instructed to request all the papers of the city to publish same, As these reports speak for them selves and carry their own comment, it is needless for us to do more than give them space in our columns, as re quested. Secretary's Financial Report for year ended May 31, 1907. Mr. President, and members Board of Trustees Goldsboro Hospital: It is the privilege of the secretary of the Goldsboro Hospital to again sub mit his annual report to the Board of Trustees of this institution, and, all in all, it is the most gratifying report in the history of the Hospital. dumber of ipatients received 65 20 more than last year of which 42 were white and 23 were colored number of deaths during the year, 3. Receipts, $1,816.85 Disbursements, 1,575.70 Balance on hand, 241.76 Sources from which "funds were de rived: Balance from last year, $210.6 Grant from county, 200.00 " city, 200.00 Patients oaid. 464.75 Donations, . 120.00 Drs. Ginn and Miller, 72.00 Balance from last years canvas, 73.00 Eumage sale, 109.24 Canvas of city 1907 360.50 Miscellanous. 6.75 For the fiscal year ended May 31, 1907. the Hospital has received within its sheltering arms and nursed 65 pa tients; 42 white and 23 colored, and ol this number it has sent back to their homes, restored to health and useful ness, 62, there having occurred only hree deaths in Ihe 65 patients, and these three were iisr aktictjlo mortis when received within its wards, and were.therefore.irn pervious to treatment So that we may virtually claim a hun dred per cent of cures during the year eovered by this report. This, truly, Is cause for gratification to those by whose generous charity the Hospital is maintained , and with such a record of usefulness in the communi ty, I doubt not, when it comes to be generally known and realized, our peo ple as a whole will become even more united in its support and active in its nromotion, enlarging its capacity for service and its reflexive benefits unto those whose contributions maintain it, for we have faith that ' through the ages one increasing purpose runs, And the thoughts of men are widened with the courses ot the suns" faith that the unapproachable Golds boro people, who never yet have laid their hand to the plow and looked back, will, as the furrow ol this Hospital lengthens and its opportunities for ac complishment lol greater results are realized , rise equal to the requirements of the situation and in their unfailing charity and abounding spirit of.help ful ness build and equip a hospital second . , to none in the realms of philanthropic accomplishments worthy of the Best Town in the State of the Best People in all the earth. The career ot this hospital is truly phenomenal, not only that it has been able to continuously exist from its foundation to the present, but in the service it has rendered the nature of the cases treated within its wards and the percentage of its cures: all of which goes to sustain the prideful tact that we have in Goldsboro a complement of physicians second to none in the pro fession, and who, having proved their efficiency by the results here achieved, I are, therefore, largely if not wholly re sponsible for Goldsboro's not having one of the largest and most successful hospitals in the realm such as their skill is capable of sustaining. The un precedented success of the hospital during the past year is due in large measure if not wholly to the har monious co-operation of the Medical Association of the city, which the hos pital has experienced the past year for the first time in its history. It is earnestly to be hoped as it is so fondly desired that the same con ditions will continue for the current year, cementing this co-operatiou into a united force with one purpose in view a Greater Hospital for Greater Goldsboro. This report would not be complete ! without reference to and recognition of the services of the efficient supervising nurse, Miss Mabel Hughes, whose ser vices are inestimable to this institu tion and whose administration of its exacting duties has been most admira ble. The self-consciousness of duty faithfully done holding this above price has been her principal reward. but it is a treasure well secured, where the moth cannot impair nor the rust corrode nor the thief break through and steal. The percentage of cures turned out from the hospital is the lightest possible endorsement of her efficiency and of how faithfully she has carried out the instructions ot phy sicians at the bedside of patients and discharged the exacting duties of her position.

TO MARRY IN EUROPE. Buck Duke Will Try it Again. Divorced President of American To bacco lompany And Atlanta Widow To Wed in Late July. (By special wire to The Argus.) Raleigh, Junp 28. James B. (Buck) uuKe, a native oi tms state, now a multimillionaire, president ot the American Tobacco Company, with headquarters in New York, will marry the beautiful Mrs. Inman, widow of the late William Inman, of Atlanta, in Europe about the last week in July. The story comes from New York and gives the following particulars: Air. uuKe ana Mrs. inman witn a party of friends will sail for Europe on July 15th. In the party will be Mr Brodie Duke, brother of "Buck," and Miss Mary Duke, daughter of Mr. Ben Duke, ot Durham, another brother, the young lady who was recently so ill at Durham, but now convalescing, and a number of Atlanta friends of the pros pective bride. THE PRESIDENT APPALLED. Panama Canal Scandals Have Par alyzed Proceedings. (Special to the Argus.) New York, June 28. The World this morning prints a special Irom Washington which declares that the greed of politicians and the subser yiency of officials have brought the construction work of the Panama canal to a condition of chaos. . It is now asserted that the big canal may be delayed indefinitely on account of the complications. It is further stated that the President is appalled by the developments and revelations that have been unearthed, the stench from which deepens as the probe goes deeper. Yesterday evening after the Arqcs had gone to press, a special telegram came, bringing the sad announcement that in Durham yesterday, shortly be lore noon, Mr. W. M. Smith, a post graduate of Trinity college, and the popular captain of Trinity base ball team for the past three seasons, com mitted suicide. The fatal affair occurred at his board ing house, on Randolph street, where he has been boarding since college closed. He held a position with the Ameri can Tobacco Company. Yesterday morning he reported for duty at the factory at the regular time and shortly after ten oclock said he was sick and was given permission to leave the factory. Nothing was heard from him until at the dinner hour, ,vhen he failed to show up, and upon investigation was found in his room, dead, with a bullet hole in his right temple. He was familiarly known and called Capt. liiliy sinitn" by liis numerous friends. He was exceedingly popular and his death cast a gloom of sadness over the entire student body of Trinity and members ot the faculty. He was a man of a jovial personality and made friends with every one with whom he came in contact. For the past five years he. has been a student of Trinity and at the, late com men cement took the bachelor of arts degree. Captain smitn made bis borne in Concord, where his father, a retired Methodist minister, and his mother re side. He is survived also by two sis ters and one brother. The young man's mother with her daughters was visiting her mother, Mrs. Langdon Hubbard, in Clinton, her old home, when the sad news was wired her yesterday, and they passed through this city last night on their way to Durham. They were met at the train here by Mrs. Smith's cousins. Messrs. Henry and M. L. Lee, who cared for them between trains. It is quite certain that the young man was suffering from sudden de mentia, due to over-study followed so soon by overwork in a responsible po sition that was too much for him with out training. This is borne out by the fact that he gave no semblance of pre meditation, and left not a word nor a line; went to his room silk, and alone with no one present to restrain his hand when the fearful crash came to his splendid mind. Oh, the pity of it all! BIG FIRE IN BIRMINGHAM. Clear Stomp Carelessly Thrown Causes Quarter Million Blaze. (By special wire to The Argus.) Birmingham, Ala., June 28. A cigar stump caused a fire here -this morning entailing a loss of a quarter million. The fire originated in the elevator shaft; of the Chalfioux Building. from tms Duiiaing, wnicn is now in ruins, it spread to the five story May berry Building, adjoining, and swept that also. There was only partial insurance. THE GOLDSBORO LIBRARY. What It Has Accomplished Its Possi bilities and the Community's Duty Towards It: The time is past when the value of books needs proving and the existence of libraries needs justifying. If, as is freely admitted, the progress of the commonwealth is dependent upon the education of its people, the library should be looked upon as one of the fundamental bases of the public weal. for not less than dur schools and col- leges are our libraries instrumental in spreading that broad knowledge and culture at which all true education aims. We have in our midst a fine circu lating library unconditionally free for use to all citizens of Goldsboro (over twelve years of age.) Its aims are the broadest to supply citizens of all oc cupations and tastes with reading matter that may be desired for enter tainment or instruction. From a small collection of three hun dred volumes this library has gradu ally grown so as now to include over two thousand. Our list of borrowers numbers three hundred and twenty names, and the books circulated each week almost one hundred. These numbers give one an idea of what the library is accomplishing. It has passed the experimental stage, and has established itself as a permanent fact. The large crowd of eager bor rowers that hover about the shelves eacn weeK prove mat it is satisiying a real need, that its discontinuance would mean a vital loss to many members of our community. Although the library has grown since its establishment, it is still com par a- vely small a mere nudeness of what a good city library should and migh be. Its present work shows not alone what it is accomplishing, but also gives an earnest of what.with increased facilities, it could accomplish. Has not the library sufficiently proven itself a power for good to de serve the support of our municipal au thorities to increase that power? It is a question of public education. As a means toward that end it is serving our people well. In this light let it appeal to our citizens and our city fathers for encouragement and support. Jews to Settle In Southwest. By special wire to The Argus. Galveston, Tezas, June 28. Among the passengers on the North German Lloyd steamer Castle, due to arrive here from Bremen today or tomorrow, are a party of 54 Jews, principally from Russia and Roumania. Their arrival will mark the first important step in the plans of the Jewish Immigration Society to form J ewish colonies in the Southwest. The plans have been go ing forward for some time and are now well organized. It is the chief aim ot society to divert the Jewish immigra tion from the large cities and congested districts of the North to Texas and the contiguous territory west of the Missis sippi. The immigrants are to be care fully selected and will include artisans, mechanics, farmers and others fitted to take up life in a new country. Took Tbe Cleopatra Route. (By special wire to the Abgus.) Ohio, Tenn., June 28. Rose Bloom today emulated the act of Cleopatra when jilted by Mark Antony, and at tempted suicide through the bite of a serpent clasped to her bosom. O Bean the Signature Tha Kind You Hava Always Si RU L ITCHING BURNING SORES Boy in Misery 12 Years Eczema Spread Over Body in Hough Scales, Cracked, Inflamed, and Swollen Case Pronounced Incur able, but Completely Cured by Two Sets of Cuticura Remedies. HOKE SMITH TAKES OFFICE. HIS SKIN NOW FINE AND SMOOTH AS SILK "I wish to inform you that your wonderful Cuticura has put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with different remedies for about live years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it grew. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed, and badly swollen. witn, terrible burning and itching. When I think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard down-stairs. The suffering of my son made me full of misery. I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor could I sleep. "One doctor told me that my son's eczema was incurable, and gave it up for a bad job. One evening I saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give it a trial. "I tell you that Cuticura Ointment is worth its weight in gold, and when I had used the first box of Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuti cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuti cura Resolvent my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Stein man, 7 Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y April 16, 1905." FOR WOMAN'S EYE Too much stress cannot be placed on the great value of Cuticura Soap, Oint ment, and Pills in antiseptic cleansing, thus affording pure, sweet, and economi cal local and constitutional treatment for inflammations, itehings, irritations, relaxations, displacements, and pains, as well as such sympathetic affections as anaemia, chlorosis, hysteria, nervous ness, and debility.
