THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. WEDNESDAY, SEPTRMIIER :j, I9>I. 3 LIVELY SESSION Of THE DENTISTS AT THEELECTION Minneapolis Is Chosen as the Next Meeting Place. The second session of the National Dental Association was without Inci dent of special note,* othfer than the calling of the meeting to order by a gentleman who declared he was “from Mississippi, and knew something of pol itics,*’ when It looked as though the convention was going to get away from the control of the president. This was while the doctors were trying to elect a vice president for the West. Quiet w as finally secured and the election passed off without further disturbance. The second general session of the National Dental Association was called to order at 12 o’clock Wednesday by President M. F. Finley. The first paper read was by Dr. A. W. Harlan, of New York, on “The Blue Light and Heat as Therapeutic Agents." The discussion on the paper was opened by Dr. Gordon White, of Nash ville, Tenn., and Dr. Frank Holland, of Atlanta. Dr. H. J. Burkhart, chairman of the executive committee, was then recog nized and reported a recommendation that the Invitation to the barbecue ten dered by the local dentists be accept ed. and that the 3 o’clock session be omitted. This was accepted by the association. Dr. Burkhart then stated that within the next year the association would have its own Journal. The next report was from the com mittee of fifteen from the Fourth In ternational Dental Congress. The re port was adopted by the association. The president then announced the selection of the next place of meeting on motion of Dr. C. 8. Butler, It was decided to hold the next meeting on July 30, 1907. Dr. Butler nominated Minneapolis, Minn. Dr. Beck, the secreary, announced that he had an Invitation from Chi cago, which was formally put by a member of the Chicago delegation. Meet Next at Minneapolis. Minneapolis was chosen by the asso elation, the vote being almost unanl inous. The election of officers was then gone Into, and Dr. A. H. Peck, of Chicago, was elected president. Trouble O' er Nominations. Quite a bit of discussion and dis senUon arose over the nominations for vice president from the West. The rules state, that no formal nominations shall be made, but some member got the floor and before the president could choke him off, placed his favorite be fore the association. To make things fair to all others, the president recog nized all who wished to make nomina tions and a half dozen or so were put up. A great deal of confusion was in the hall and just before the ballot was closed a lonesome old gentleman caused quite a bit of amusement by solemnly rising and saying: “I’m From Mississippi.” “I’m from Mississippi and I don’t like this way of dotng. I know some thing about politics, and I call for this meeting to come to order." No attention was paid to him, and he subsided. Dr. D. J. McMillan, of Kansas City was elected vice president for the Rest of Officers. The remaining officers were elected by acclamation, and were as follows: Vice President for the East—Dr. George E. Hunt, of Indianapolis. Vice President for the South—Dr. George Vann, of Gadsden, Ala. Recording Secretary—Dr. Charges 8. Rutler. of Buffalo, N. Y.

PUBLIC BINDERY MAY BE AN ISSUE Washington, Sept. 10.—The book binders' union has made It evident that the public* printer’s methods of dealing with the • employees of the bindery Is a subject to be called to the attention of the Republican congres slonal committee.

BURTON CLARKE GOING TO GOTHAM Prices of grate coal will not be great- | ly affected by the failure of the South ern railway to accept shipments from the Louisville and Nashville railroad. The published statement that coal will be advanced $2 a ton It pro nounced absurd by large dealers. Factories, other large users of steam coal and some dealers whose plants are situated on the Southern are In an un fortunate position, but so far as pri vate consumers—the general public— are concerned, it is stated that no ad vance except that caused by natural conditions will be made. A. A. Dickerson, manager of the Bon Air Coal Company, said Wednesday morning, speaking after a talk with other large dealers: "Retail prices will not be advanced on account of any disagreement be tween the two railroads. The majority of the large dealers are Independent of the Southern, having their yards on other systems, and If they do not ad vance price/* those who are so unfor tunate as to be forced to make greater expenditures must keep their prices down to those set by the others. “I do not look for any material ad vance In grate coal. The best Is now selling at $& a ton, as is usual at this season. If coal Js scarce Jn the winter It may advance to $5.50 In December and to $5.75 or perhaps $6 In January or February. It has done this for a number of seasons, I understand. But the difference between the two roads will have absolutely no effect on prices to private consumers. Too vn.tny deal ers are Independent of the Southern. “Steam coal will be advanced by the disagreement, so far as consumers whose plants are located on the South ern are concerned. They must have their shipments delivered by that road and are in a helpless condition. But these will be the only persons affected. The report published Wednesday morn ing that retail prices would be advanc ed $2 a ton Is absurd." V. S.

Plumbers Accept Decision. Washington, Sept. 19.—Nearly ull the plumbers who were looked out last March by the master plumbers have accepted the decision of the arbitration board to return to work pending the final settlement of differences. Wishing to base the defense of his client on the bad character of a young man named Bell, one of the prosecuting witnesses, Harvey Hill asked the pro tection of the court officers Wednesday afternoon while he made his address to the Jury In defense of a negro woman named Hester Henderson, an alleged Sunday tippler. The testimony of the witness was very Incoherent and he seemed proud of the fact that he had been drunk when he claimed to have bought whis ky from the Henderson woman. He remained to hear the argument. Having been assured that the court would not allow the witness to assault him, Mr. Hill lit Into Bell with a lot of blistering Invective, but the evidence was against the woman and she was found guilty end given eight monthti or 350 tine. Bell muttured n few threats against S^r. Hill after the trial.

In a talk with G. H. Atkinson, press agent for Jane Kennark, In Clyde Fitch’s “The Toast of the Town,” that gentleman had some Interesting fea tures to present regarding the litho graphers’ strike, which Is now pretty general throughout the country. ’’This strike Is playing havoc with managers,” said Mr. Atkinson, “for, coming as It does at this season of the year, many Broadway producers have been caught without any pictured sheets to herald the coming of their attractions. Scores of managers had given in their printing orders to va rious lithographing houses, all the de tails of the work had been completed, and It was up to the press, when the primers walked out. Consequently, the lithograph houses are now in a very chaotic state, and unless conditions change soon the billboards throughout the country will soon take on a vacant stare. But, nothing daunted, theatrical managers will take the road, for even those who have pinned great faith to billboard advertising heretofore will meet the emergency. Newspapers Will Rsap Harvest. “As a matter of fact. It Is an ill wind that does not blow some one some where some good. If the strike con tinues, the newspapets will reap a har vest. Money that has heretofore been spent for coloring matter for the big fences will eventually find Its way Into the general coffers of the newspaper office. There will be some ‘block* mat ter, printed sheets, pasted about here and there, of course, but the reds und the blues und the greens will be sadly wanting. And these sheets, costing less thun the llthos, the average man ager will put the surplus Into news paper advertising, for he wants to get his attractions to the public eye. “During the last decade the bill board hns become a very prominent feature In the theatrical business; much emphasis has been placed upon billboard advertising. But I think that gradually more attention will be given to newspaper advertising by theatri cal men. Newspaper men are, drift ing Into the theatrical ranks. Indeed, at the present time theatrical managers are beginning to see the value of news paper men as advance agents. And the average press man who has been associated with the newspaper office comes to realize the Importance of spaper advertising. This being the case, he will give emphasis to press advertising rather than fence advertis ing. “Showing” Without Pictures. “Even now the big producing man agera have not hesitated to send out their plays without the pictorial sheets. Jane Kennark Is doing an excellent business, notwithstanding the fart that she has no pictures to point to the coming of ’The Toast of the Town.’ True, she hns some of the 'block' forms, but her stands will take on none of the colors of the rainbow. She had a beau tlful line of printing for this attraction, but It got only as tar as the press. This play, with Its gorgeous scenic In vestitures and costuming of George the Third’s period, offered excellent oppor tunities for the lltlio makers but It will probably not get beyond its stone. “Do you know I could never see the value of bill posting for the passing show? A permanent 'ad' on a billboard has Its merits, no doubt. Slapping one dally In the face as It does, It finally gets to the mind, but the transient bill which comes for only a week or a few days will get only to the eye. Hun dreds and thousands of pedestrians pass the bill board dally without ab sorbing the details of the advertising. They get only a passing Idea of the pictures; the coloring. They do not carry the dates or the title of the at traction In their minds. , The Circus Bill. “For the circus the billboards offer an excellent medium for advertising, I believe. There Is an opportunity for keeping the bills before the public for longer period of time. And being spectacular by nature an excellent im pression of a circus may be made upon the billboard. Men go to a circus to ‘see;’ they go to a theater to ’hear.’ We speak of the 'spectators’ under a canvas and 'the audience' in a theater. The circus ring offers a series of pass ing pictures, and these may be repro duced with considerable effect upon the fence. But how are you going to convey the subtle lines of Clyde Fitch anti the novel situation of The Toast of the Town’ to the theater-going mind upon the billboard? A Clyde Fitch line may be expressed In a newspaper, and ring true. "Undoubtedly there Is an art In bill board advertising. Men who have made It a study for years are engaged In the circus business. They know how to GEORGE H, SAXE L BE ELECTED it Is Said He Will Get Water Depart ment Job. George H. Saxe will be elected sec retary of the water department at the regular session of the board, to be held Wednesday afternoon, so It Is gathered from authentic sources. There are ten avowed candidates for the position recently made vacant by the death of William Dlmmock, but It Is believed that votes will be cast tor only three out of this number. It Is stated that Hugh Dorsey will not be In attendance at the meeting be cause of absence from the t city. This, however, will not materially interfere with the election.

Major Pat ten was vice commander of the Grand Army of the Republic and formerly a post and department commander. get the best effects; they know the value of different colors, and they know how to blend the various sheets to secure the greatest harmony. The best billers are In the circus business, because the spectacular sheets afford greater opportunele* for displaying and developing th%lr art than the dra matic sheets of a hall attraction. Limits of ths Postsr. “Do you know, I believe that the popularity of musical comedy, of ex travaganza and pantomime Is respon sible for the great emphasis theatrical managers have been placing upon bill board advertising? The chorus girl with her big picture tmt offers a good subject for the billboards, and an ar ray of chorus girls, sextets and what not, In variegated Costumes, make a pleasing picture. But an episode or a situation or a big scene can not be presented upon the boards with any degree of satisfaction. What becomes of your pathos, or your comedy, your heart Interest on the fence? It falls Hat. Even llthos, displaying the various acta of melodrama are far fetched. It Is best to ’tell’ about the 'rescue at the old bridge,' a picture of such a scene Is never very startling. "I recently saw a ’three-sheet’ which showed (In speaking of bills one can not get away from that word ’show’ so closely Identified Is the pictorial sheet with the circus girl)* the vll- lian and hts accomplice, a, woman, In the act of pressing the hero's arm In a book press. The situation was mon strous; the situation might have been told. Origin of Billboard. I have often wondered whether the billboard Is an American Institution. I am In Ignorance as to Its origin. It might be a reflection of the old 'samk- wlch’ man. who now seems passed. At one time this Individual was a novelty, and by virtue of hts locomotive power, I believe, he was more effect than the stationery billboard; he had a greater ’circulation.’ And this very circumlocution of the newspaper gives It a power over all other forms ot advertising." LABOR AND HEARST ARE NOf AT OUTS Washington, Sept. 19.—President (Jumpers, - of the American * Federation of l«abor, said today the relations ’ of the Federation and Mr. Hearst were not strained, as had been reported, but were of the most pleasant character.
