Warm Springs, June. 18.-The Twenty
fourth annual session of the Georgia Phar-
macutical Association was called TO order
TINS morning by the president, Dr. Charles
.. Tyncr, Of Atlanta. The convention viii
be in session until Tomorrow
One of the features of the opening ses-
sion was The position taken by President
Tyner, of Atlanta, against the war tax. In
his annual address Present Tyner said:
The war tax in my opinion is unjust.
unequal and unconstitutional They have
no moro right to stamp a pharmaceutical
remedy than to stamp or tax a loaf OF
bread. These taxes should be equal and I'M
form and not laid heavily upon one bust
ness while scores of others bear none of
The burdens
President Tyner took the position that
HSt OF fdSt questions and unpaid ac-
counts should be exchanged by all mem
peiS OF the association every thirty days.
A resolution was unanimously passed
generating George f. Payne, until re-
Gently staie chemist, from all blame or
censure upon the course of his conduct
relative to mis- delivery of his Office to
his successor.
A committee was appointed to investi-
gate the best manner possible to handle
oils and paints, so as to decrease fire in
surance and rents.
A movement was inaugurated looking
Wv etlN an dllclNlleIll 70 the act Ile
last legislature in imposing a tax of SO
on pharmacists and clerks.
Just before the afternoon session ad-
jOurned the following officers were non1i-

dan, second vice president; J. Q. Tigner,

treasurer; Campbell e. King, secretary.
The Georgia State Board of Pharmacy,
which was in session here yesterday is
fl1sa Fat of he old nh,
acy board in the United States. In 1927
the general assembly passed an act Great
ing the board of physicians which had
authority TO license druggists, apotheca-
ries and pharmacists and physicians This
old board was composed of three members
and as means of transportation were then
difficult, for many years two of its mem
bers, Drs. Clark and Hail. were from Mil
ledgville, at that time the capital. This
old board existed until 1881, but did very
little from 1862 and during the reconstruct
ton period
There are, however, about thirty pharm-.
acists still in business who were licensed
by the old board. Some of these have
been in business for nearly fifty years
Two of the Oldest druggists in the state
are Drs r. S. Bradfeld, Lagrange, and
N. b. Drewry, Griffin.
The present act was passed in 1881, and
has been twice amended so that Georgia
now has one of the best pharmacy laws
in the United States.

Waycross, Ga, June BIT may not be
known, but it is nevertheless the fact,
that old Liberty was the first county in
the United States to adopt prohibition.
About the year of 1882 an act was passed

prohibition column. From that time until
now liquor has not been sold in Liberty.

Shortly after the closing of this saloon

r@sII' "HW t"UWNNW'
The cigar and tobacco store and barber
shop of Charles Goldman, on Broughtou
street, west, between Montgomery and
jefferson, was burglarized al an early hour
Monday morning. The thieves effected an
entrance from the rear.
A strange feature of the case and one
that leads the detectives to think that the
crime was committed by barber is The
fact that the contents of the show eases
in which the cigars and tobacco were kept
were not touched, and that the burglars
confined themselves to the implements
used by the BARRIERS, taking a dozen razors
and number of pairs of scissors and hair
clippers. Nothing else was molested
The burglars left no clew behind them
case. Indications point however, to GER
tain parties as the perpetrators of the
crime and il is thought that an arrest will
be made within the next day or two.
