They Vere enthualps tic over .the convention and loud in their praiee over the hospitality and courtesy extended to t hep while away. They brought back an exiting story of the fight which Washing ton made to eecare next year's con vention. Four ballots were taken. Raleigh. Orecnshoro and Ashevftle were eliminated successfully and on the laqt ballot Washington received' a good-sized majority. It was then unanimously voted that the conven tion be held in this city. J. L. B?r ral. of Ralrigh, the mayor of Greens boro. and Ex-?enator Cocke. , of Ashevllle, represented 'the Interests of their cities. J. F Tayloe repre sented Washington and made (pis city's claim tp next year's meeting. It was largely due to his eTbqucftce that Washington was successful. After the selection of a meeting placi* for next year, new offleers were elected. P. 8. Oorrell. of Wln ston-Salem. past president of the State Association, presented Mr. Tsyloe's name in nomination for president. He was elected. The other.officers were Col. F. L. Black, of Charlotte, first vice-president*. D. toek* fcfa, Ond vice-president; T. ft. Keh'oe. of >?ew Bern, secretary and treasurer. . The executive committee will de cide later the exact date of next year's convention. The convention was a huge suc cess In every way, according to the local delegates. The various forms of entertainment could not have been excelled and afforded unlimit ed enjoyment tnr the visitors. A feature of the convenlton was the speech wh'cfc was made by Johr F. Bonner, of this city. It was de clared by many to have been one of tho finest addresses ever beard at* an Elk convention in this State. Mr. Bonner's Address. i John H. Bonner, of this city, made a most Impressive response^to Col onel Klrkpatrick's greeting, a par ol his address being as follows: "Mr. President and Brother Elks: "jt Is Indeed a very great honor to em to Ve permitted tc respond to the welcome so cordially and hap pily extended to the North Carolina Association of Elks hero assembled; to look for the first time into the faces of men 'row the Old North State who are strangers to me as I stand before you, and yet wo are brothers?unite# by the Siamese bond of brotherhood.

"As you know, the order of BLks (? strictly American, and I believe I can eafely say without fear of con tradiction that no eell or country other than the United Statee of America could produce, maintain and perpetuate a like order.

Justice as known to ua could not alt proudly on her throne and equally balance her scales In the countries of kings and clasars. Brotherly lore, as preach ed by ua. would be crowned arlth treason and cruolfled on the slimy cross of treachery In the land of European military despotism. (Ap plause). The star of fidelity would not shed ks soft and fervent glow on any other altar or flag other than the altar of Elkdom and the flag of t>ur country.

Praises Hospital For Efficiency Ocratcoke lJght House Jfcecprr Mays i/ocal Institution Hi* Attained High Degree ot Profteieficy. Ocracoke, N. C., June 24. 1916. Editor Washington Dally New?. Washington, N. C. My dear sir: Will you kindly allow me spac In your columns to publicly express my high appreciation and gratitude to the physicians, superintendents and nurses of the Wsshlngton bos pltal for the kind and considerate attention I received at their hand* w^ille a patient in that hospital dur ing a part of May and June. Having met with the misfortune of losing one of my limbs from very severe case of gangrene whlcl necessitated the amputation of my right leg at the knee, tor which cause 1 was confined in the hospital for over three weeks. While In this almost helplesrf con dlttoo, my every wish was carefully wtofatd aod-guarded by, the efficient superintendent and most cheerful!? responded to by a corps of well trained nurses under her directions This most neeessary Institutlor has reached a degree of proficiency that Is most exemplary, and the dlt clpllno In all departments Is hfghly commendable. ( Notwithstanding the rush of work and business In taking in new pa tlents and performing operations sometlm?-* as may as three a day all received their share of care an<* attention. The doctors all were ver attentive to their patients, but mon especially Dr. Tayloe (or "Dr. Dave' as he is more familiarly known, t? distinguish him from his brother and associate "Dr. Josh"). Dr Dave makes a point to see sit the patients In the hospital three time' during the 2 4 hours, personally looking after rach individual case Ills last visit at night being fron 12 o'clock midnight to 1 o'clock a m. and often later as occasion ma? require. At which time, before re tiring, he ascertains by personal oh servatlon or Inspection, the o-ondl tiou of each case, and ?'>ea that al' are a? comfortable as It is posslbh to make them, leaving the necessar? Instruction* to the superintended and nurses. Notwithstanding my own physics' unpleasatn condition, and the sym po'hy I Mt lor those of my fellow patients, who?? aondltlons wen mor? serious than my own, I must say that 1 rather ?aJoyed b?1ng ?' th? hospital. Th? plaaeant and r? sponilv? associations of th? ladle? o' th? hospital, and th* many agrs? abls visits I had by frl?hd? and new acquaintances, mad? my stay there a vary egreesbl* on?, and I mart Admit It waa with some measure of r?crrt that I saw the time arrive for me to quit tho hoaj-.tal. As 1 could not ??? all to say good bye, I trust this article may b? the mean? of reminding them of my wish to do ?o. Even my friend, "Robert," whom I must not leave out. With the most sincere wishes for tit? suec?ea of the Washington hos pital and thanking yon in advance, Mr. Editor. I bag to be. Very trnljf yours. A. J. RIM-PBON. Keeper fl. W. Pt.
