Georgia Pharmaceutical Association was
declared adjourned without day on yes
terday afternoon, at $50 o'clock. The

held in the city of Atlanta, which was Sc
lected without opposition.
The meeting was called to order In the
banquet room of the De Soto by the retir-
ing first vice president, Mr.. N. j. Giles
pie. At the former meeting an effort had
been made to elect Mr.. Gillespie to the
office from which he retired, and this ef-
fort was renewed with added determina-
ton yesterday morning. Again, however,
he positively declined the honor, and the
officers named by the Nominating Com
mittee, with the addition of Mr.. Shuptrine,
who had been placed on the ticket to fill
the vacancy caused by the election of
Treasurer Mallory H. Taylor to the presi-
dency, were ell elected without division.

dan.

Treasurer-J. T. Shuptrine.
Secretary-Campbell T. King.
The deliberations of the mornings ses-
sion were presided over by President Tay-
lor. After the consideration of some mis-
cellaneous business, Mr.. Gillespie moved
that committee be appointed by the
chair 10 confer with a similar committee,
the appointment Of which by the Georgia
Medical Society should be requested. for
the purpose of compiling and having pub
lished book of formulas in general use
among practitioners of medicine, for the
use of both physicians and druggists. The
motion was carried.
Dr. George II. Payne of Atlanta, ex-
tended 10 the association an urgent and
courteous invitation from the Pharma-
ceutical Association there inviting 1t to
iiOtu It's tfcAL tiuHudI meeting III that CITY.
The invitation was so gracefully and so
graciously extended, that it nipped in the
bud the aspirations of the representatives
of several other places that had been de-
sirous of securing the coveted honor, and
no opposition to Atlanta developed. 1t
was selected as the next place of meeting
by an unanimous vote.
Mr.. Ralph o. Howard of Columbus, in
PRODUCED a resolution extending to the
city of Savannah and the Chatham County
Pharmaceutical Association, the thanks
of the associa ton for the courtesies thu,
he said, had been showered upon its men,
bers during their stay here. Mr.. Howard
urged the passage of the resolution he
offered in a few words of graceful person
al acknowledgment, and the motion was
carried by rising vote.
Mr.. S. c. Durham offered a resolution
extending the thanks of the association,
particularly to Mr.. N. J. Gillespie, the
chairman of the Reception and Entertain
ment Committee, who has been indefati-
gable in his efforts for the success of the
meeting and the pleasures of the members
and guests in attendance. This motion
was also carried without division and by
a rising vote.
Mr.. Gillespie is personally very popular
with the members of the association and
his positive refusal to permit his name to
be placed in nomination, in an effort to
defeat Mr. Polhill for the first vice presi-
dency, but served to strengthen this pop
ularity. 1t is more than likely that at the
next convention he will be nominated for
the presidency ard elected to all that posi-
ton.
DR.. George F. Payne moved that the
chair be requested to appoint a commit
tee, for the purpose of drafting and sub
hitting to the next session of the State
Legislature for passage, a bill providing
that a pharmacist, with the rank of first
lieutenant should be named for each reg
iment of stale troops. In support of his
motion Dr. Payne stated that such a bill
had recently been passed by the Legis-
lature and received the signature of the
Governor of New York, the Empire State
of the North, and he thought it proper
that the Empire State Of the South should
not be slow to follow this example. The
motion was seconded and carried
The selection Of the exact date of the
next meeting was left in the hands of
the Executive Committee of the associa-
ton, with power to act. 1t will be held
during May of next year and in the city
OF Atlanta. With this understanding the
association
