THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS

brief session following a yacht
ride to Jekyl island yesterday after
noon at O'Clock closed the fourth an
nual meeting of the Southeastern San
1tary ASSOCIATION after a splendid Sc
ries of discussions. Both the regular
afternoon and evening sessions were
dispensed with, depriving a number of
visiting doctors of the privilege of
reading the papers they had pre-
pared.
The time and place for the next an
nual meeting was left to the executive
committee, which is composed of the
president, the secretary and treasurer
and the vice presidents from all the
different states represented. Invita-
tions were received from Wilmington,
N. c., WaycrOss. Ga, and Hartsville,
S. c. Last years meeting having
been held in Ashville. N. c., and it be-
ing g precedent of the association to
try to rotate among the different
states, it is expected that Hartsville
will be chosen.
The large number of exhibits, now
on display in the old clubroom of the
Oglethorpe hotel, will be there for
several days for the benefit of the pub
ic These exhibits were brought here
for the benfit of the Brunswick people
and not for the use of the physicians
and those who brought them are es-
pecially anxious that Brunswickians
will avail themselves of the privilege
