FEREBEE THE CHOSEN SUCCESSOR To be Second Assistant Physi cian at Asylum mr. w. r. crawford was Re-elected steward Dr. Jenkins and Miss Wbitaker Re elected First Assistant Physician and Alalron, Respectively Re ports Sub Bitted Today. i The Hoard of Directors of the Stale Hospital for the Insame met this morning at 10 o'clock at the Asylum for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year. The following resident oflicers were elected: Dr. C. I.. Jenkins. First Assistant Physician, re-elected. Dr. E. H. Fcrcbec. Second Assistant Physician. Mr. W. I!. Crawford, Jr.. Steward, re-elected. . ' Miss Minnie Whitakvr, .Matron, re elected. The Hoard went over the accounts of the past year and approved the corusc of Superintendent Kirby and was plcasud at the progress made by the institution. The establishment of new departments for the occupation , of the female patients was especially approved. Dr. E. II. Feretx'e. who whs elected Second Assistant Resident Physician to succeed TTr. George Davis, resigned, lias once before filled the office to which he is elected. Dr. Fercbce was a member of the medical staff at the Central Hospital during the adminis tration of Dr. Wood as Superintend ent. At that time he made a great im pression on the medical members of the board. lie then served out the unexpired term of Dr, I'earsall. Dr. Ferebee was not an applicant for the position of Second Assistant Physi cian, h's name being offered to the board by a friend in this city. Dr. Ferebee has been heard from and has stated that he will accept, the position. He will conic to Raleigh as soon as he can arrange to leave Norfolk. Dr. Ferebee is a native of Camden county. He received his collegiate education at Wake Forest College, af terwards going to'lhe State Cniversi ty, where he completed the course of medicine offered there lie afterwards graduated from the College of Physi cians anil Surgeons at Iialtinioic. Af ter graduating he was licensed to practice medicine in North Carolina, and began the practice of his profes sion at his old home in Camden coun From there he came to this city to serve on the medical staff of the State Hospital for the Insane. After leaving Raleigh Dr. Ferebee became resilient physician a I "The Retreat' for the sick at Norfolk. When "The Retreat" was located further out of the city he found it to his best inter ests to resign the position of resident physician as his outside practice re quired the greater part of his time. Dr. Ferebee has been actively engag ed in the practice of his profession at Norfolk up to this time. He is a young man. a little past thirty-live years of age. and is a physician of ex ceptional ability. There were about forty applications for the position, and the fact that Dr. Ferebee was se lected when he had not applied for the place is 'an unusual compliment, and shows the estimate placed tiioii his ability by the members! of tne Hoard. The re-election of Mr. Crawford as Steward meets with, general approval. Mr. Crawford has served in this ca pacity for several years, and has made the best steward that the institution has ever had. First Assistant Resident Physician Jenkins and the Matron. Miss Wbita ker. have served in their respective capacities to the best interests of the institution. TO ADMIT LADIES FREE, It has been decided by the Athletic Association of the Agricultural and Mechanical College that the ladies of Raleigh and all lady visitors will be admitted free to the game between the A. and M. boys and llinghani School on Friday afternoon of this week.
