Not only has the meeting been a success In attendance, hut the papers read and the interest displayed has been highly gratifying to every member of the Association.
 Many physicians and surgeons famous over the whole country, have been rresent and have addressed the As sociation on intensely absorbing top les relating to the higher understand ing of the art of healing humanity. The addresses for the most part have been upon subjects about which the readers had collected by observation and scien- tifc manner, all possible information.
 Today will be executive session. day upon which many of the visiting doctors doubtless will make the trip hack to their homes content with hay ing heard the papers read. Today however, in all probability, will not witness any lack of attendance in mem bersh:p, nor of interest in the work inRs of the organlEa ton itself. resolutions introduced by Dr. Riggs oF Birmingham at the first session, with the request that the Board of Censors report at the next mo 'n.ng and which rasolution was amend d to the effect that the Board would lake it's report at the earliest convenience, will be re- | ported. As usual. their reort Will De made upon the last day of the session. The resolutions of pr. Riggs call for a chance in the charter of the asso- | cIation in a very vital matter, ana IL Is expected that & hot light will he witnessed on the floor of the Hall Of Representatives this morning.
 The annual election of officers for | wsyRl al ia nIAGA. | The committee on nominations, ap- nointed by President Welch at pre- vious meeting. will make their report No fight is expected to be made on their recommendations.
 l Gossip among the members seems to indicate that pr. B. L. Wyman of Bir- mtngham will be chosen for the Presi- dents chair for the coming year or the 1 Aasociation. Other candidates have | been spoken of, but there Is sinBu- Inrlv pleasant absence of politics in the election to take place. Interest seems | to centre in the proposed changes in the charter of the organization. | After the executive session, the vol untary papers of yesterdays program will be read to the Association. Hear ing these the State Medical Associa' tiou will adjourn sine die.
