SOCIETY MATTERS.
The subject selected by the Medical Society at the last meeting in Goldsborough, was Spondylitis. They were fortunate in selecting Dr. M. Whitehead as the essayist. It seems to us it would be more agreeable to the essayist, to allow him to select his own theme, and provided he announced it in advance of the meeting, it would answer the same purpose.
The annual oration will be delivered by Dr. W. W. Lane, of Wilmington, upon a subject not announced.
The Society expects from these gentlemen rare entertainment and instruction.
In our quotation from the Nation’s Berlin letter on “The Discovery of the Soul,” the printers made the mistake of not ending the paragraph with quotation marks, and our northern neighbors who copied it from the Journal entire without acknowledgement, have incorporated Sambo’s philosophy in a way that we considered original with ourselves. It would be news to the Nation’s correspondent that he is versed in the mysteries of the philosophy involved in the “folk lore” of our Southern negroes.
