PHARMACISTS I'm COUNCIL.
A Lively Scene-TwO of the Members
HurI 'tScOrn'' Across the Room.

The State Board of Pharmacists met in
Atlanta on Wednesday. The FbSt-Appeal
says:
CDR. Heidi, OF Savannah, addressed the
association on two circulars issued by the
association and the State Board of Pharma-
ceutical Examiners, which had given rise to
some unpleasantness. He declared that the
association intended no offense or personal
disrespect, and that the Board Of Examiners
were ready to unite in a mutual disclaimer
of any personal oflense or disrespect, and to
submit the legal question at issue to the
courts for Interpretation.
"Tbere was some bitterness In DR.. Heidt's
remarks, and in reply to him DIR. Pemberton
said he had been pronounced out of order
by the Chair before the gentleman from
Savannah was allowed the floor. But now,
In conclusion, he desired to utter but Just
three words; that If the gentleman alluded
to him in his personalities, as an expression
Of what he felt for him he wished these
three words TO be written in letters of light,
'scornl scOrn! scorn.'
"Some strong language passed between the
two gentlemen, which seemed for time to
promise something more lively, but things
finally became quiet and the business pro-
ceeded.
"The committee on election of officers for
the ensuing year reported the following
names: j. w Rankin, Of Atlanta, Presi-
dent; A. A. SolomOns, of Savannah, First
Vice President; George j. Howard, of At
lanta, Second Vice President; A. NJ. Bran
non, Of Columbus, Third Vice President; j.
T. Shuptrine, of Savannah, Recording Sec
rotary; T. L. Msssenberg, of Macon, Treas
urer; q. NJ. Heidi, of Savannah, Correspond
ing Secretary. These gentlemen were
unanimously elected, and Mr.. Rankin, the
newly elected President, was conducted to
the chair by Messrs. Keifer, of Savannah,
and Jacobs, of Athens, who were appointed
q committee for that purpose.
Gan interesting paper was read by Mr..
Jacobs, of Athens, which gave rise to some
pleasant discussion.
"a committee was appointed to prepare a
charter, and the board adjourned until $3.50
O'Clock this morning"
The Augusta Esefling Meas thus refers to
one Of the circulars alluded to:
CDR Barry was very anxious to be present,
for It appears that the druggists of the State
have been misled about the fees charged for
license or examination by the Board OF Ex-
aminers. Indeed, It is said that the oppo-
nents of the board have not only been cir
culating absurd statements about additional
fees to be charged every four years, but
have actually sent emmissaries to this and
other cities to get the proxies of druggists
in order to pass vote Of censure against the
Board of Examiners. No Augusta drug
gists were gulled by these statements, with
the exception of one or two on the out
skirts, aud when the true inwarduess
of the affair was explained they not only re-
yoked their proxies, but gave them in favor
of the board. II DR.. Barry had gone up he
would have made it lively for the few NAL
contents, and would have wrung the
changes on the unfair charges against the
board. His able associates will be present
at the meeting and more than meet any such
attack, and such men as j. s. PembertOn,
John Ingalls,, Osceola Butler, Isidore
Zacharias aud Edward Barry are too well
known and too highly esteemed by the
druggists of Georgia to be censured, when
they are now giving their time and talent to
the elevation OF the profession and to main
tanning high standard before entrance to
and while inside the responsible circle of
Georgia pharmacists"
