Duties-The Parade - hon. John S.
Davidson's Address.

vention Of the Southern Travellers AssocIa-
tion is under full headway, and it is a fms
body Of men. They have seventy-four

Macon, Rome, Jacksonville aud Chatta-
noogn seven each.
Samuel ?. Weisiger Of Augusta Is presi-
dent and ]. r. Watts Of Atlanta is secretary
OF the convention.
ARRAIGNMENT or AN OFFICER.
The principal incidents Of the convention
to-day have been the arraigumeut of Sec
rstary and Treasurer Watts by Mord
Abrams Of Savannah, who declared that
the secretary had not performed his duties
and bad not earned one dollar of his salary
aud the condemnatory resolutions against
the railroads for refusing low rates Ia the
drummers' convention. MIR. Abrams said
ms attack on the secretary was not on MIR.
Watts personally, but on the loose manner
IN which the affairs Of the office had beon
administered. This was the most important
office 10 the association and the only paid
officer, and they had a right e. expect the
duties OF the office 20 be faithfully dis
charged. He made the point so that the
association might be very careful in elece-
ing their next secretary. The matter was
referred to the executive committee before
Secretary Watts announced that he would
establish the injustice OF Mr.. Abrams
charges and show that be had performed the
duties Of the office.
THE PARADE.
The parade on the streets this morning
before the convention aud the preliminary
exercises in the opera house, were great
success. Hon. John 3. Davidson's speech
OF welcome made a great hit, and the
response Of Vice President A. W. Kennedy
OF Macon was graceful and well received.
