regard to newspapers printing adver- tisements which may be construed into lottery announcements. The whole question of the lottery law 1t was de- clared, rested upon the phrase, 'wheth- CT a thing is determined by lot or chance" which is construed to include many classes of advertisements which have heretofore been generally carried by newspapers. The penalty for vio- lation of the law Is a refusal on the part of the postoffice. to permit news papers carrying these announcements through the malls.
 At the conclusion of the discussion. the following committee was named to draw up resolutions of thanks to the various bodies in Montgomery which have contributed to the entertainment of the Association during their stay here: J. R. Ross. H. H. Cabaniss, D. w.

 For the post of Secretary Treasury, P. H. McMaster, of Columbia. placed in nomination the name of V. H. Hanson of Montgomery. The nomination brought out a speech of dissent from the nominee, who requested that his name be withdrawn. Speeches were made in support of the nomination., however, by F. H. McMaster of Colum- bia, S. C., and T. T. Stockton of Jacksonville, Fla. both of whom urg- ed the advisability of having the presi- dent and secretary of the organization close together, that the administration of the Association might be the more profitably conducted.

 classified advertising generally.
 At the close of his remarks the meet
 ing was left open for free discussion, the Chicagoan answering questions put
 to him by the members of the conven- tion. MT. Rogers was introduced by Presi- dent Hemphiil of the Southern Associa- tion. with . few fitting remarks. In part the Chicagoan spoke as fol- lows:

And l want. while am speaking, to refer to few truths. common place enough, but which should be renewed in regard to the manage ment of a newspaper frequently, and should constantly be kept in mind "The daily paper is one of the most. if not the most, Influential and power- fui agent in directing the on-going of life in almost every aspect. In its so' cial aspect, in its political aspect, edu- cationaily. 1t is the great shaping in- strument. It seems to me that 1t has greater power than almost any other single agency. This statement may be contradicted by some, notably, the par tisans for the influence of the public school, and for the church. I should not argue the matter. But In regard to the influence of the public school. eases. the influence derived Is of com- lively few years in duration.

The chief speaker of the evening on this occasion was Governor Jelks who responded to the toast, Alabama. T Among the other speakers of the even- ing were Major J. C.~Hemphill, F. F, Glass, V. H.

In the resolution was also in- c1uded the unanimous opinion of the committee that the fourth annual con- vention in Montgomery had proven the most enjoyable and most profitable in the history of the Association.

 An address by S. s. Rogers, Business Manager of The Chicago Daily News. who arrived in Montgomery yesterday morning, for the last day session. forn- ed the chief feature of interest at the two business meetings until just before the close. During the early part of the afternoon. a discussion, led by MT. Rogers, and indulged in by various members of the Association, occupied the time of the convention. At the close, however. the election of officers. and the selection of the place for the meeting of 1907 came up. and were dis posed of.
 In the election of officers. Montgom- cry was especially honored by the con- vention. The new President of the As- sociation. F. P. Glass. and the Secre- tary-Treasurer, V. H. Hanson. are both residents of the Capital City of Alabama. and have been active in the Association for several years. The choice of both these officers from this city, was urged by F. H.

 The remainder of MT. Rogers talk was devoted principally to the practical conduct and advertising of the modern newspaper. A number of topics under this head. were brought up by the mem- bers of the convention and discussed by the various delegates.
 Newspaper-Making Discussed. A discussion of the obligations of the non- advertising business communi- l ty toward the press. with especial ref erence to members of the legal and medical professions, occupied large portion of the morning session. The extent to which matters of a greater or lesser news value. which is of dis tinctly advertising nature te members of these professions, should be printed was gone into thoroughly. and un' gIoved hands were used in tho treat

n1ent of certain doctors and lawyers who were said to be constantly seek ing this kind of free advertising.
 The topic under which the discussion arose was on the list of subjects chosen for consideration. What is the obli- gation of the non-advertising business interests of a community to good newspaper7" was the question.
 Speaking from his experience, Fl. H. Cabaniss. of Atlanta. gave 1t as his opinion that from the man who Is not in business. nothing can be expected except his subscription and good will. There are many men, however, who are not advertisers. whose business could be helped by advertising.
 T know Of no business" he said which is worth the name. which ad- yertising will not help" he said. As n solution, he suggested that advertising Is something which must be developed, to yield good returns.
 It was when the question regarding the ethics of legal and medical profess sions. in relation to advertising. came up that the doctors and lawyers came in for their share of the discussion. Many instances were cited by the dele gates, in which lawyers and doctors had sought to impose on newspapers for free advertising. were forbidden by their code from using regular advertis- Ing methods. Private Sanitariums also came in for their share of criticism, and the methods of dl--erent papers rep resented in handling this class of news and advertising matter, ere discussed.
 Other subjects which were brought up in the morning session were the following:
 Has any member devised Q new scheme whereby protection Is received in the matter of returns from news- dealers? Should returns De allowed at all?
 What experience have members had with the demand for an eight hour day by the Typographical Union?
 During this session. addresses were made to the convention by w. E. Mans field, representing the International Paper Company, and St. Elmo Massen- gale, the great advertising expert of Atlanta. The former spoke of the pos- sibility now being investigated. of manufacturing paper out of cotton stalks Experiments are being made

The people who come back from the v,ordike testify to the fact that no natjve bald heads are there The evil dence is that the cold climate kills the gerrns that eat the hair off at the root. TJeut Perry. who went to the Arctic Regions gives the same evidence. New hro's Herpicide has the same effect as the cold climate. It kills the germs that eats the hair off at the roots. and tbe hair grows again. Herpicide is the first hair remedy built upon the prin- cInIe of destroying the germ that eats inc hair of.

 Many Business Topics
 The closing hours of the convention were filled with interest. During the preceding sessions of the convention, the attention of the members of the As- sociation in attendance had been given almost entirely to the discussion of matters pertaining to the inner work tngs of the operation of newspapers. Laying aside the social features which had been arranged for the entertain ment of the guests by the Commercial Club and the local newspapers. almost the entire time of the convention was
