cussion.
Dr. W. L. Dunn. — Pointed out the in-
justice to the other medical journals of the
State that one should be adopted as the
official organ of the Medical Society and
moved that the Medical Society of the
State of North Carolina recognize no jour-
nal as its official organ. This motion was
seconded by Dr. McMuUan.
Dr. Long. — I have been a member of
the Society more years than I can hope to
be in the future, I have the highest con-
sideration and respect for every member of
the North Carolina Medical Society and I
have aspired to deserve and hope to deserve
in the future even more than in the past
this respect, but I would have been glad if
this question could have been brought up
when there was a fuller meeting because I
recollect the struggle of this body more
than 30 years ago when it went from place
to place and found a lodgement in the
homes and affections of the people from the
gorges of the mountains of the west to the
cypress swamps of the east and I knew Dr.
Wood who edited the N. C. Medical Jour-
nal, for it existed before the war and 1 have
some copies of it in my library. Dr. Wood
was a man of merit and gave us as good a
journal as a man could give in North
Carolina in his day for the same amount of
money. We do not know how many medi-
cal journals are going to spring up in North
Carolina in the next quarter of a century.
Of course this Society has got to be kept
alive by the young men so that the genera-
tion that is to follow may look on our work
and think well of it, but above all, what-
ever we do, it should always be character-
ized by moderation and justice so that we
ourselves will think well of what we have
done. Now I say this because I have no
objection to the motion in the world, the
only thing about it is I would like to have a
larger body present and then there would
have been no grounds for complaint. I am
sure I do not mean to question the motive
of anybody, far would it be from me, but I
do not see any great urgent necessity for
acting in a hurry. If those who represent
that journal and the friends of it were pre-
sent or had an opportunity to be present
THE CHARLOTTE MEDICAL JOURNAL.
617
and you passed it our duty would be to
acquiesce but if we take action where this
has been in existence for a quarter of a
century it seems to me our conduct might
be misconstrued. I hope you will think
about it and I am sure you will do what
you think is right and proper.
Dr. Register. — I think the official or-
gan as it now exists is entirely unnecessary.
It gives an advertising advantage, and I
think it unfair and I would favor this move-
ment. I appreciate what you say about
having a representation here. The official
organ of the Societv should certainly be rep-
resented.
Dr. Long. — If the Charlotte Medical
Journal, or any medical journal, had been
endorsed for 25 years by this Society, and
the present journal was to ask for it to be
discontinued I would feel that we ought to
proceed in such a way as not to leave any-
thing like a reflection on it. That is all
that I wish, I have no interest in it one
way or another, but I have followed it
through its ups and downs to the present,
and if it is the wisest and best for this So-
ciety to abolish that rule and wipe it from
the record, why do it. All that I am plead-
ing for is to proceed in such a way as not
to offend any unit of this Society, or the
Society collectively. I am just as much in-
terested in anybodv that represents any
journal and in their welfare, and the So-
ciety is and ought to be, but we can not
afford to hurt any of our units or leave any-
thing like a sting.
Dr. Marsh. — I rise to say that you ex-
press the feeling of the masses of the So-
ciety and at the same time it would be more
satisfactory to set an hour for this question
to come up to-morrow morning, or imme-
diately after supper and let us have a free
and full discussion of the question and set-
tle it in the best way. So far as I am con-
cerned my wishes are for the good of the
Society, I would regret very much to be a
party to any action that would cause any
friction or feeling in the Society, and I
would like to offer as a substitute to the
doctor's motion, that this motion be brought
up immediately after supper.
Dr. R. H. Lewis, — I would like to know
what is up?
Dr. Long. — There is a motion to abolish
the relationship of the Society to the Caro-
lina Medical Journal as its official organ,
and it received a second, and now we have
an amendment offered to that motion, post-
poning the matter until to-night, until just
before the annual essay, and the amend-
ment has received a second. The same
thing was brought up at Charlotte.
Dr. Register. — I think all of the jour-
nals of the State should be on an equal
footing.
Dr. R. H. Lewis. — It seems to me that
it would not be fair to take action now. I
think the suggestion that it be postponed
to a definite hour a good one. What we
desire to avoid above all things is factional
strife, and we must do everything we can
to prevent it. It seems to me that the mo-
tion is the right thing, except that instead
of being the first thing it should come be-
tween the essay and the oration, so I would
endorse the amendment to postpone for
further consideration until immediately
after the reading of the essay to-night.
Dr. Sikes. — I feel very much like quite
a number of you gentlemen feel about it,
and that is to take any action upon any
matter of very considerable importance
when the friends of the matter were not
present looks like we were trying to take
undue advantage of them, and the North
Carolina Medical Journal has not a single
representative here to-day, so far as I know,
and I think it would be better if the gentle-
man who introduced this resolution would
bring up a written resolution and let it lay
over until one day during the meeting next
year. There is not the slightest doubt in
my mind as to how the matter will be set-
tled, yet I do not think we ought to take
unfair advantage of a weaker organ. I do
not think we ought to have an organ, but
at the same time I do not think this would
be treating the journal exactly fair.
Dr. Dunn. — I am very heartily in accord
with the idea of considering this question
when there is a fuller at<^endance than at
present. I expected to put the motion this
morning, and I am most thoroughly in ac-
cord with the amendment and the substitu-
tion as offered for consideration when there
is fuller attendance.
Dr. R. H. Lewis. — I offer as an amend-
ment the postponing of this matter until
10 o'clock on Wednesday of the next an-
nual meeting, when everybody will be pre-
sent and it may be considered. We have
two journals in our State of equal value,
and I do not like to have any favor, and at
the same time those of the older members
who remember the labors of Dr. Thomas
Wood naturally have some sentimental feel-
ing about it. Still in the interest of fair-
ness and harmony, and to prevent these
factional fights, I think we should give full
notice when the members of the Society
will be present, and then nobody can com-
plain.
Dr. Marsh. — I withdraw my amend
ment in favor of Dr. Lewis.
Dr. Register. — I am in favor of
618
THE CHARLOTTE MEDICAL JOURJSAL.
Dr. Lewis' motion, that this matter be
postponed until lo o'clock on Wednesday
of the next meeting.
Dr. Carr. — I introduced a motion like
this in Charlotte once and they told me I
would have to put it by a resolution.
Dr. R. H. Lewis then put the following
resolution :
Resolved^ That the consideration of the
question of the abolishment of the Carolina
Medical Journal, as the official organ of the
Medical Society of the State of North Car-
olina, be made the special order for lo
o'clock on Wednesday of the next annual
meeting of the Medical Society. Carried.

the paper of Dr. C. M. Hazen was referred
to the Committee on Publication.

The Society was called to order by the
President at 8 130 o'clock.

man, Tell us of the Night." _ |
The travelling men of the city having ex- j
hibits in connection with the meeting pre- 1
sented to Dr. Julian M. Baker, Chairman j
of the Local Committee of Arrangements,
a very handsome case of surgical instru-
ments.
On motion of Dr. Lewis the Society went
into the installation of officers.
The President appointed Drs. W. H.
Whitehead and R. S. Young to escort Dr.
Baker to the platform.
The retiring President, Dr. Geo. W,
Long, welcomed Dr. Baker to the chair in j
a few chosen words, and expressed his
thanks to the people of Tarboro for the hos-
pitality of their homes and hearts shown
the Society.
President Baker thanked the Society for
the honor conferred on him, and asked the
co-operation of all members in maintaining
the high standard of work of the Society.
It was moved that the President be al-
lowed to appoint his committees for the
coming year and announce them later.
Carried.
On motion by Dr. Sanderford, a vote of
thanks by the Society was extended to the
citizens of Tarboro for the cordial way in
which the Society was entertained.
The Society then adjourned sine die.

Report of the Committee on the Presi-
dent's Address.
Your committee appointed to report upon
the President's excellent and practical ad-
dress respectfully beg leave to cordially en-
dorse his recommendations and to suggest
the adoption of the following resolutions :
Resolved, That Anatomy being one of
the fundamentals of medicine and surgery
and the proper teaching of that branch be-
ing imposible without dissections of the
human body, arrangements should be made
for providing subjects to our medical
schools. That to secure that end the Com-
mittee on Legislation be requsted to use its
best efforts to obtain the enactment by the
next General Assembly of a suitable dis-
secting law.
Resolved., That in view of the fact that
vivisection is necessary to the scientific
study of medicine and is responsible for
many of the wonderful advances of modern
medicine, the Medical Society of the State
of North Carolina earnestly protests against
any restrictive legislation on this line and
it requests our Senators and Representatives
in Congress to oppose, in the interest of
science and humanity the Gallinger bill now
pending in the Senate of the United States.
Resolved, That no health board can do
really effective work without the cordeal
co-operation of the family physician ; and
we call upon not only our own members but
every medical man in North Carolina to
heartily support the efforts of all health
officers to protect the public health, and in
addition instruct the families belonging to
the clientele in the elementary principles of
hygiene.

Report of the Obituary Committee.
The Obituary Committee made the fol-
lowing report :
Dr. E. H. Hornaday.
Prepared by Thos. M. Jordan, M. D., of
Raleigh, N. C.
The subject of this sketch, in the common
acceptation of the term, was neither bril-
liant nor great.
Yet, when we remember that to be great
is to be good, and to be brilliant is to be
thorough, he was both.
Dr. Hornaday, as husband and father,
was in every particular loyal and true, and
his home was as happy as love could make it.
His wife after a protracted illness died
June the 27th. 1891, and while bowing in
all the submissiveness of a true Christian
to this bereavment, to use his own words,
he surrendered all desire to remain longer
on earth, and constantly prayed, that as
THE CHARLOTTE MEDICAL JOURNAL.

soon as it might please the Master, he
might follow her whom he loved.
Just one year previous to his death he
called the attention of the writer to the
place where he desired to be buried, said
that his wife could be removed and placed
beside him: remarking at the time, "I
camped on this very spot during the war
and I want to be buried here when I die."
That the summons was a welcome mes-
sage to him there is no doubt. Dr. Horn-
.aday was born April 4th. 1838, and grew
up to manhood in Chatham Co. N. C.
He attended school at Guilford college
N. C.
His first occupation was teaching and in
Wayne Co. he spent his early manhood in
this work. He read medicine and attended
a course of lectures but was interupted in
the pursuit of his studies by the Civil War
through which he passed. He followed
the Confederate flag from the beginning to
the end. At the close of the war he com-
pleted his medical course, and graduated
from the college of Physicians and Surgeons
in Baltimore. Returning to Goldsboro he
entered into practice in partnership with
Dr. Geo. L. Kirby, but an opening in
Greene Co. for a physician being presented
to him, he removed to that point, where he
spent the remainder of his days, devoting
his whole time to the demands of his pro-
fession, for which his devotion was second
only, to that for his family.
He was a student for the sake of knowl-
edge, and to increase his usefulness to his
patrons, whom he served with a belief that
to be faithful to them was to serve the
"Great Physician."
As a practitioner he was conscientious
and painstaking, bestowing attention alike
to all who came under his treatment.
His patronage covering a large area, his
life was active, and up to within a few
years of his death his health was almost
perfect, and so sympathetic was his nature
that the night was never too dark, the
weather too cold, nor the road too long for
him, when suffering humanity claimed his
assistance. The ideal "Country Doctor,"
battling alone with that grim monster.
Death, too far away to obtain consultation,
lacking the modern conveniences for com-
batting disease, relying upon his own re-
sources, and trusting in his God, excites the
admiration of all people and is justly
denominated a hero among, as well as a
benefactor to, mankind. All this was
exemplified in the life of Dr. E. H. Horn-
aday, who, on the 20th. day of March 1900,
as he was in the act of getting in his buggy
to visit a patient dropped dead while in
harness so to speak. Since 1878, he had
been a member of our Society, and until
recently was a constant attendant at its
meetings. In 1881, he read a paper upon
Ainhum, a very rare disease, coming under
his observation. The article was copied
by various medical journals, and brought
numerous letters of inquiry from several
leading surgeons. His advice was often
sought outside of professional lines, but
persistently he refused to encumber himself
with any matter that conflicted with his
regular work.
He was a consistent member of the M.E.
Church and died relying on the promises of
the Father.
"None knew him but to love him,
"None named him but to praise."
RoBAH F. Gray, M. D.
Dr. Gray was born December 34th, 1852.
He received his classical education at the
Randolph-Macon College, and graduated in
medicine at the Louisville Medical College
and at Bellevue, New York. After prac-
ticing in Winston for a few years he re-
moved to Danville, Va., but in two years
returned to his old home. After a linger-
ing illness, nearly a year of which was spent
in hospital, he died March 5th, 1900. He
married Miss Lelia Wilson, of Danville,
who survives him with seven children.
Dr. Gray was wholly devoted to his pro-
fession ; he never refused a call ; day and
night he was ready to respond to any de-
mand made upon him by the sick and suf-
fering. In his relations with the afflicted
he was gentle, untiring and devoted, and
his numerous patients adored him. He had
probably the largest practice in Forsyth
county; knew no rest or recreation, and
died a martyr to overwork in behalf of
others.
John H. Tucker, M. D.
Dr. Tucker was born in Brunswick coun-
ty, Va., October 27th, 1842. He was edu-
cated at Hanover Academy, William and
Mary College, and the Virginia Military
Institute. From the last named he enlisted
in June, 1861, as a private in the third Vir-
ginia cavalry. After a faithful service of
twelve months he was honorably discharged
on account of physical disability, and re-
sumed the study of medicine,' which he had
already begun during his collegiate course.
In the spring of 1864 he was graduated
from the Virginia Medical College, and im-
mediately re-entered the Confederate ser-
vice as assistant surgeon, being assigned to
the Chimborazo hospital at Richmond, Va.
