There was universal disappointment it is true, \ that through a mistake made at offl- rial 'headquarters, Dr. Hendrix who J was to make the address and assist in the work of organisation did not arrive at the hour, designated, having been notified to be present for meet- l ing at 8 p. m. instead of 2 p. m. Dr. F. E. Williams who was to have J, ',bqen in charge of the meeting by vir- I tue of his election as temporary chair man of the organization was absent, ' having been called to Atlanta on pro fessional business. His place was to u have been filled by Dr. IT. A. Mobley who has been one of the most active participants in getting the work es tablished here. He was also un avoidably absent. With all of these discouraging features the ’ meeting might have been a failure Had not seme of our loyal citizens rallied to its support. Col. Wntts Powell called the meeting to order and nominated Prof. Strozier chairman. There was a second to the motion and the 'vote was unani mous. Prof. Strozier always ready and willing to aid a good cause and fortunate too in the possession of the qualities that make one fit gracefully into a situation of the kind, took the chair. Dr. Charlie Lane made the invocation. Tho chairman then made a short talk, explaining the irregu larities of the hour, and stating the purpose of the meeting. It was unan imously, agreed that the body should proceed with the work of organiza tion. In accordance wlththe official requirements, the authority for or- znnization of the chapter wns read by the secretary. A nominating com mittee was then appointed, Mr. E. F. * Powell, Dr. J. M. Whitehead and Dr. J. 0. Teasley constituted this com mittee. They retired and during the -- time they were engaged in preparing the official roster, the audience was very delightfully entertained with pa triotic airs and other musical selec tions by Miss Erline Wright.
