' CfKTCD MMDAMV 265-271 DECATUR STREET, rUOltn uUIYIrANl Cor. Moore, Atlan'a, Gi. The Atlanta convention of the Na tional Association of Retail Druggists la over, but Its work will be felt throughout the years to come. It Is the opinion of the delegates that the meet ing of 1906 accomplished more, was a longer step forward, than any conven tion since the organisation. The direct contract serial number ing plan, long advocated by leading dealers, was the great Issue of (ho con vention, which went on record as fa voring It. Under this system all pro prietary medicines are to bo sold to re tailers at a uniform price of $2, (6 und $8 a dozen, all packages are to be num bered serially so that any package inny be traced to Its seller, and retailers roust sign a contract not to cut the price below that set by the manufac turer. Some of the larger manufac turers have already adopted the sys tem. others hove stood out against it through fear that their competitors will gain a lead In sales. But with the sen timent of the association so strongly In favor of the system It Is believed that every large proprietor will now tnke up the plan and stick to It rigor ously. The convention went on record as favoring the pure food law. It advo cated a better test In educational lines for candidates for pharmaceutical di plomas, but refused to require a college diploma. Many matters of Importance were discussed nnd settled. New Officers Elected. At the Thursday afternoon session, the Anal business meeting, the follow ing officers were elected: President—Charles F.

BIG AND WITTY CHARLES HUHN MADE HIT OF THE CONVENTION Charles Huhn, of Minneapolis, mads the hit of the N. JL R. D. convention In his speech Thursday afternoon, pre senting a silver loving cup to Simon N. Jones, of Louisville, retiring chair man of the executive committee. Mr. Huhn Is a* broad as he Is long, and he lived squarely up to the tradi tion that men of mighty avoirdupois are witty and good-humored. He stood before the great crowd of fellow pill-rollers In the convention hall fair ly exuding fun. It dimpled his big face and shone In his eyes. It caught his audience before be began speaking Then. In a deep voice, through which ran a timbre of melody nleaelng to thi ear, he began: « "I came from the .great city of the far Northwest—Minneapolis- to the fair and hoapltable city of the South —Atlanta—unarmed. I find I made no mistake In doing so. I came here to add—aye, hurl—the full HO rounds of my avoirdupois Into the deliberation!, of the N. A. R. D. Do not get nervoua. my friends, I am. not going to detain you long.” Then pauslrig for a moment or two, he added with Inimitable drollery: "I have learned when to quit talking —I am a married man. I differ from our friend, Simon N. Jones, who has gone up and down this country an un compromising bachelor. I will quali fy, however, by saying thnt 1 do not think he Is a Simon-pure -bachelor. Back In 1818 he went out to St. Louts and met a promising young party. Be fore he left there the engagement wae announced, and alnce then Simon N Jnnea haa been a faithful and loyal husband to N. A. R. D. Though trou blous llinrs have beset hie inarltnloray and his bride has been assailed Iron-, every - aide, he has been faithful." He then turned from the whimsical and In tender words paid hlgii tribute to Mr. Jones' distinguished service to the assoctatlcn, and presented him with the cup as a token of the love and esteem of his fellow members. As he concluded, prolonged applause followed, nnd the crowd arose and sang "My Old Kentucky Home." Mr. Jones responded In a moil feeling manner. s T Work of Cleaning Up Bars Is Finished by City. Fifteen more saloons took the count Thursday afternoon, making In all forty-ono liquor and beer dealeri which have received the knock-out blow from the wave of reform which fa sweeping over Atlanta Although the closing of forty-one ea- fl loons Is a big move toward cleaning up '' a city In which there existed only 172 u liquor houses, all told, this Is not all thnt has been accomplished In the last fortnight. The mixed saloon has bean wiped out of existence. Saloons have been cleared of chairs and tablet. Res taurants have been forbidden, under penalty, to serve malt or aptrltous [drinks. The back-doer business haa ! l;one Into ancient history and the ea- non-keepers have been shown that only orderly places will be tolerated. The city, has gained this at the loss of perhaps $20,000 per annum. It Is the general belief, however, that the pecunlury lose will be small, as new business wlll^sprlng .up to take the place of the saloons. At the special session of council on Thursday afternoon the license com mittee reported on thirty-three saloons. The favorable reports were adopted without Incident. The adverse reports on fifteen of the licenses wtre fought by some of the members of council and by the attorneys for the saloonlsts. .Many attempts were made to have sa loon licenses reconsidered. Not one was successful. The nearest the oppo sition came :o success was on tho mo tion of Alderman 81ms to reconsider the license of W. B. Archer, which was lost by a vote of Id, to It. Lnter one of the committee's supporters left the room and an attempt was made to again take the vote. The motion was ■overruled. ■Councilman Taylor made a motion do reconsider the license of Sam Klein, which was lost by a Vote of 5 to 16. Alderman Hlrsch motioned to recon sider the license of Pete Cohen, which went down to defeat by the vote of 14 to 8. Attorney Frank M. Hughes appeared for M. Shut-man, 182. Decatur atreet. Attorney Thomas II. Ooodwln appeared for Jake Gruzin, 48 Decatur street, nnd I. L. Cleln, 60 Decatur atreet. Attor ney Albert Howell appeared for Cleln Brothers, Ivy and Decatur streets.
