Kill KY IVllJWfcY llLLvi THE GOLOSRORO HOSPITAL Annual Report ot Its Admin istrative Officials An 1 nstitution That Stands For an Ideal the Noblest a People Ever Have Expression To In Tangible Form. The Goldsboro Hospital, built and furnished throughout by the common charity of Wayne County citizens and sustained from year to year by their unfailing generosity, wherein no one is too poor to find welcome and solic-1 itous care ; and intelligent medical nursing none so rich but what they I can have their desires competently ca- tered to, is tne crowning glory oi a lieyt.iC uuu w. . v true nobility or character. Owing to the fact that the secretary of the Hospital was called away from I the city immediately upon the last f annual meeting of the Board of Trus- j tne annual reports, filed at that meet- ing, was delayed ana mey are touay puMishd as follows: , President's Report. To the Citizens of Goldsboro and i - Y ayne County: Another year having been added tor the life of The Goldsboro Hospital, its management begs leave to present to you an account of its stewardship. On the 27th of last September, the friends of the Hospital and entire community were shocked to learn of the death of Mr. Solomon Weil, Treasurer and Ds- ! rector. While resolutions of respect and esteem have been passed by our t Board, I cannot let this, our first an- nlial meeting since his. death, pass without incorporating in its minutes a tribute to nis memory wno nan served the institution so ably and with such untiring zeal and devotion. His wise counsel, his kindly manner and genial presence will always live in the memory of his co-workers, while his munificent gifts to the Hospital will be active and permanent memor ials to his philanthrophy. His strong feeling, to., adminster to the suffering was perpetuated in his will in the form of a bequest of $1,000 to the Hospital, In notifying the Board of Directors of this bequest, his family expressed the desire that it be set apart as the beginning of an endowment fund to be known as the Sol Weil Endowment Fund. The members of the Board tinuously from its incipiency, I feel oung men, tnink now a little seir vere pleased to adopt this suggestion, that I should as I can verily with denial would help The Goldsboro Hos- because they recognize the great need of such a fund to meet the growing demands of our institution. Twenty-eight per cent of our pa- tients were entirely charity, and 27 per cent were ward patients at a week- ly charge of 33 1-3 per cent less than the cost of keeping these patients, so that practically 50 per cent of the work of the year was charity. We have found an impression grow- ing in the town and county that peo- pie of limited means will be taken in the Hospital as charity patients. This is a mistake. Only those who! are absolutely without ; means or in- come and have no relatives able tol aid them are eligible as charity. We really have not income sufficient to take care of these, but rely upon the generosity of our citizens to make up the deficiency. When the Hospital was completed, we lacked $2,000 paying for same, and had to borrow said amount in order to pay the builder. It will be good news to all to know that this debt has been cancelled. It was Daid by our es teemed I townswoman, Mrs. Henry Weil, whose uniform generosity to the Hospital since its organization has tided it over many financial difllcul ties. Mrs. Weil has always desired that no mention be made of these sub stantial acts of eenerosity. but as is necessary to make official statement of the cancelling of this indebtedness, I cannot well do so without acknowl edging the source from which it camel and to express our thanks and annrec istion. During the year we have nearly doubled the number of nurses and hope in the near future to be in posi- tion to furnish the community and surrounding country with special nurses when needed. In this connection, I take pleasure in commending our Superintendent, Miss Linney, for her personal work and untiring efforts toward making our Hospital a success. In conclusion, let me say that the usefulness of this splendid institution hospital from time to time and shed is growing every year, especially in ding the sunshine of their helpful alleviating the suffering of those who presence in sick room or sun parlor could not otherwise get treatment. This year 193 charity and ward patients were treated and in nearly every case sent back to their homes and families to take their places producers. v The Board of Trustees and Eiecu five Committee are freely and gladly giving their time to this Institution with but the one desire -to increase itsits usefulness. To do this, however, they must have the material aid, cor- dial co-operation; and good-will of all our people. f Respectfully submitted, ! GEO. C. ROYALL, PresidenBoard of Trustees.

Following the Treasurer's report the secretary submitted his as follows: Mr. President and Members of the Board of Trustees of The Goldsboro Hospital: In submitting this my twenty-second annual report' as Secre- tarv of-The Goldsboro Hospital, con fuii knowledge, through every day ex- perience of its vicisitudes and achieve- ments eoneratulate vou that though the year through which we have pass- ed since mv last annual report has been one of unusual demand upon the institution, it has met with splendid Uhilitv in administration and in nurs - hng every demand upon its sheltering care and philanthropic mission, due j acknowledgment for which to the efflc- hent superintendent and her capable corps of responsive nurses is contain - ed in our president's report. During the fiscal year ended June 30 1915, ': the Hospital has cared for 52 patients, of which 212 were surgical, ana 140 were medical nursing only: 294 were white and 98 were colored; 193 were ward and charity, and 159a fascinating story which lies behind I were pay.' I The Treasurer's report shows the financial condition of the Hospital, and while a surplus appears, that sur- plus' is due to an extraordinary gift during the year, whereas, in fact, the 1 expense of maintainance during the - 1 year exceeded what may be considered I the fixed income, viz: city and county annual appropriations and Tag Day re 1 ceipts, something over $500. - l I would especially commend the growing custom of sending financial - memorial contributions to the Hos it I pital in lieu of flowers of sympathy I friends who have experienced the vis itation of deah in their homes. The - sum total received from this beautiful custom during the past fiscal year - ap - 1 nears in the Treasurer's report and was most helpful I There is one thing I would espec ially urge with emphasis upon our I stering, refinishing done on short people as a cbmmunity city and! notice. George N. Waters, just back country: neonle of the county alike, for they are the owners In common of The Goldsboro Hospital, and shouid j manifest a common interest in its wel I fare and perpetuity not of Its physi cal structure of brick and mortar, but I of its purpose and efficiency, and these lean best be subserved quickened broadened by pur people visiting land imparting the inspiration of a cheering word to some lone patient in charity ward who though penniless I and . pain-ridden is thy brother yet, as I "heir to the self-same heritage child 0f the self-same God." - I If our people would -visit the Hos pital more generally and frequently and thus become more familiar with its purposes and patronage and more informed as to its usefulness, they would become profoundly impressed with its need and its efficiency, and be themselves brought to a broader com prehension of the supernatural oppor tunities of life, and come to know the spiritual . joy and strengthening consolation that are realized only through ministering unto others. Tt is thus that we are led back to child- hood and up to God, and our spirits glow with a new inspiration, not de- finable in words, for there are influ- ences which environ humanity, engen- Idered through the charity of personal service, that warm into bloom and beauty flowers of the soul whose era- Igrance gives us hope of immortality To this end, therefore, to the germ- inating in the hearts of my fellow citizens of city, town and county 'n common, a more personal interest m;(Jrod dollars on his person uu nuspiwi, Uuti vm uimg tu eatJj of them so responding a harvest ot eternal reward, in God's good time, I would urge a more general visiting of the Hospital. ..

London, Oct. 25. While the Austro German and Bulgarian campaigns in northern and eastern Serbia are being carried out according to the plan, de spite fierce Serbian resistance, and the Bulgarians who crossed the Timokand bold the town of Prahovo are separat ed from the Germans who crossed the Danube near Orsova by only a few miles, in the south things are not going well for the invaders. In the latter region the French troops have joined with the Serbs and, according to French accounts, have inflicted a severe defeat on the Bulgarians at Krivolak, 40 miles north of the point where the Saloniki-Nish railroad crosses the Serto-Greek frontier. This success places the Bulgarians who reached Istip, Veles and Uskup in rather an awkward position, for a further advance of the allied army would seriously threaten their flank. In fact, unofficial reports state that the advance of the French, who are being closely followed by the British has already caused the retirement of the Bulgars toward Strumitsa. The first desire of the Germans, however, is to open a route through northeastern Serbia and Bulgaria to Turkey and this is on the eve of being accomplished.
