Local Elks Return
From Convention;
; Elated Over Success
-
Had to^Malce Stirring Fight to Secure Next Year's
Meeting Place for T hie City. Strong Op

Tqy)oe and Bonder Make Speeches
Somewhat tired an d eleepr,-Dkt
elated end hippy orer having^ se
cured next yakr's B. P. O. E. con
vention for-thta. city. the Wasljjnc
ton delegation of Elk? returned
home this morning In their special
Pullman car. 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.
'It has been my good fortune for
the past six years to be a njemper
of the prder of Blks and to meet
and know many Elks both near *nd
fgr; but this U the firet time I bavr
had the pleasure to meet face t? faee
the Elkdo? ot North Carolina, and
h?n1i with K ?|tny tiki
and loyal citizens of my owa Slate.
"The order of Elks 1b yet In its
.Infancy. It cannot be a matt t of
surprise upon each foundation m we
j have tulit that we tare grown from
I the few 'Jolly Corks9 la 1S*7 to a
membership of almost 500,000 Blks.
yet, my brothers, the time will com o
when every honest Amei4_??i citlsen
will be pr6ud to say 'I am an Elk.'
"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. (Ap
plause). The charity that we prac
tice and preach would b? crushed in
Any countrr other than that over
which floata the 8tars and 8trlnee.'
(Applause). 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. 'May it ever ware
o'er the land of the free and the
home of the brare.'"

Praises Hospital

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.
