A number of reports from state presidents were heard. The report from Texas showed that the family of every member of the Texas division received $2O OO0 by wire immediately notice of death, and the report recommended that this practice become general in all the states of the national association. The Virginia state report was noted for the bid it contained for the next conven- tion place. naming Richmond as the can d!date for that honor.
 Telegrams were received from the Cham Der of Commerce of Charlotte, N. C., the mayor of Dallas, Tex, and the president of the Louisville, Ky, Commercial club, in- viting the convention to meet in those cit ies next year.
 The choosing of meeting place for next years convention was to have come up for action just before the election of of- ficers, but after discussion it was decided to make the business of choosing the next convention place the very last in the order of business. The first vote on this conten- tion, however showed that there were 2ol votes cast when there were in reality only 193 accredited delegates present. President LaTaste announced that this was not Black Belt election, and the vote was re- taken good-naturedly.
