GET TOGETHER ON
CONTRACT SYSTEM
Last Session of Con
vention Thurs
day.
The lost day of the convention of the
National Retail Druggists' Association
was marked by addresses from repre
sentatives of the large proprietary
firms and communications regarding
the direct contract plan. Several prom
inent manufacturers Indorsed the plan
and agreed to abide by It.
A motion to pay Jhe chairman of the
executive committee was withdrawn
after Its author had, as he said, suc
ceeded in drawing the attention of the
convention to the value of the services
of the present chairman, Simon N.
Jones, of Louisville. The convention
was enthusiastic in its praise of Chair
man Jones’ services. •
Thursday afternoon the convention
will elect Its new executive committee
and officers. So electioneering* has
been In evidence, and it Is not expected
that there will be any strong contests
for the offices. The present secretary
and treasurer will be re-elected.
At the close of Thursday’s session
the convention will adjourn. The vis
itors will be given a smoker at the
Kimball Thursday night, at which Polk
Miller, the well-known druggist, banjo
player and lecturer, of Richmond, Va.,
will la* the principal entertnlner.
President Bresllp called the meeting
to order at 10:20 o’clock.
Several communications were read,
urging a concerted movement for Sun
day rest, or selling as little on Sunday
as possible, except necessary drugs.
They were referred to the resolutions
committee.
An Invitation from Niagara Falls to
hold the 1907 convention there was re
ceived. Milwaukee and Atlantic Ulty
also sent an Invitation. They were re
ferred to the executive committee.
The auditing committee reported that
the treasurer’s records were In good
shape. The committee stnted that It
was unable to ascertain whether the
secretary's accounts were correct, as
several changes in bookkeepers had
been made during the year, but no
doubt as to th? correctness was ex
pressed. The employment of a new
auditor was recommended.
The finance committee rejHjrted that
It had Investigated the receipts and
disbursements of the year. It recom
mended prompt remittances from local
associations. It was recommended that
no change-be made in annual dues.
The committee on form of organiza
tion recommended a number of changes
in the constitution and by-laws. These
provide Tor an official auditor to be
paid by the association. The amend
ments were Indorsed to be finally
adopted nt the next convention.
Dr. Muir, of New York, moved that
a salary of $1,000 a year be paid the
chairman of the executive committee.
This was opposed by others, who urged
that the chairman would desire no sal
ary for his services. Dr. Muir deliv
ered an argument in favor of a salary
for the chairman, whose expenses were
necessarily great. He amended his
motion to ask for an appropriation of
$1,000 a year to cover expenses. The
motion was finally withdrawn.
Pert ideates of membership were dis
tributed among the delegates In order
that votes for tin* election of officers
might be prepared.
Mr. Beardsley, of the Milos Medical
Company, addressed the convention.
He stated that the direct contract serial
number system was working satlsfac
torlly with his firm. It had brought a
healthy increase In the trade. He stat
ed, however, that until the decision
of the suit before the United States
oiirt Is heard, it would be foolish for
proprietors to take up the contract
system, and this was the reason the
plan had* not been given greater sup
port.
V. Mott Pierce, of Buffalo. N Y.. pro
prietor of the famous Pierce remedies,
addressed the meeting.
A telegram from Dr. Munyon was
read. The doctor says he will take up
the contract plan.
Mr. Talbot, of Plso’s Cure, stated
that his firm had adopted the contract
plan

as Fred Cain and his home as Chatta
nooga, was arrested about 2. o’clock
Thursday morning by Policemen Pear
son and Hood In East Pine street, and,
when searched, a number of suspicious
articles were found In his pockets.
Cain had on a pair of rubber-soled
shoes, which deadened the sound of
his walking. At the time of his ar
rest he was on the sidewalk In East
Pine street. The officers found In his
pocket a letter, believed to be from
his mother, advising him to lie low
and not to let anybody know his where
abouts.
Another circumstance that causes
the police to regard the young man
with suspicion was the finding of the
photograph of a house, a residence,
and also a memorandum book, making
certain references to this house. Two
porches are shown In the picture and
each Is marked by a cross. In the
memorandum book appears an entry
explaining that tile porch marked by
one of the crosses Is the hiding place
other porch marks the hiding place of
two additional boxes.
Where this house of mystery Is lo
cated and what Is contained In the
five boxes Is not stated, but Is some
thing the police would like very much
to ascertain.
In another pocket was found a num
ber of 45 calibre cartridges, but n*
pistol was found.
Three bottles of Ink and some other
drawings, which are a puzzle to the
police, were also confiscated.
After examining this strange outfit,
Officers Pearson and Hood were con
vinced that Gain was up to no good
and that he Is probably wanted In
some other city for crime. He was
then handcuffed and sent to the police
station.
He will be held pending a thorough
Investigation. He was very reticent
and gave the police but little informa
tion concerning himself. He stated
that he. boarded at 356 North Jackson
street and that when arrested he was
out for the purpose of selling papers.

not so many years
ago, there was a very beautiful town,
known throughout the fertile country
in which It was situated as the Gate
Uity. And in the center of this hur
rying, hustling city was a large house
all built of stone which held books of
great valut; and a room where hun
dreds of children would gather and
listen to the stories told by a beautiful
lady who, with her love und kindness,
could hold the children’s attention for
many hours at a time.
once every week the children would
flock to the room they called their min
and would there listen to the beautiful
stories about strange lands and strange
people. For some time this continued
until at last the summer took many of
the children out of the city to the
mountains and to the seashore. So the
teacher and the stories, though not for
gotten. were left in the big city.
But after a short time the children
came back to the city and it was then
decided again to open the children’s
room and so the following notice was
sent out:
Story Hour at the Library.
j "The children of Atlanta will wel-
! come the announcement of a story hour
*ut the library tomorrow, Friday, after
noon, at 3:3o o'clock.
“This will be the first story* hour
since June, anil many little people have
missed this weekly pleasure during the
summer months.
"We welcome to these happy gather
ings all of Atlanta’s children, so many
of whom already love their story hour.”
Before the warm pleasant days o
summer came Miss Henrietta Musse
ling, the one who told the stories, gave
accounts of the children In far off
China and told of other countries. Af
ter the return of the children It was
decided to tell all about great King
Arthur, who was a very gracious king,
written about by many men and told
about by many people. So all the chil
dren who again will gather In the chil
dren’s room will hear about the
knights of the round table and how
they shivered their lances and how
they wooed their fair ladles.
