THE GLOBE CLOTHING CO. 89-91 Whitehall Street The Atlanta convention of the Na tional Association of Retail Druggists Is over, but Its work will he felt throughout the years to come. It la the opinion of the delegates that the meet ing of 1908 accomplished more, was a longer atep 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 the con vention, which went on record as fa voring It. Under this system all pro prietary medicines are to be sold to re tailers at a uniform price of $2, $8 and $8 a dosen, all packages are to be num bered serially so that any package may be traced to its seller, and retailers must 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 hnve 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 take 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 requlro a college diploma. Many matters of Importance were discussed nnd settled. New Officers Elected, At the Thursday afternoon session, the final business meeting, the follow ing officers were elected: President—Charles F.

The ''thrillers” with which the modern circus performance l» Interspersed would pall upon the audience, no matter how daring or deeth-defying If the tenalon was not relieved, at Intervals, by the merry intlcii of the Qrimatdle. The manage, ment of the Barnum A Bailey Oreateat Show on Earth, which exhibits In At- Itnta Friday and Saturday, October has recognised this fact by or ganizing for the current eeaaon a com pany of forty clowne, each one of whom Is said to be a specialist and comedian. These clowns are Intro duced throughout the program In such * way n, to keep the audience alter- ®*<lngly spellbound and roaring with laughter. Among the big show's merry* makers are many of International reputation. Spader Johnson, who la unlveraally known ns the creator of the clown nand, has furnished merriment for au dience* a» over the world; Innocentl and Albertlno are two French clowna who are Introducing some novel Ideas In acrobatic fun to the American pub lic; the Brothers Kennard are Ameri can clowns of originality, and Dan Marvelle, a French clown, utilises u trick pony in a series of funny In terludes. Ryan, Zorella and BArtlott, a trio of Imported laugh-creators of clev erness and reputation, also contribute to the lighter side of the circus enter tainment, and Steve Mlaco Is a fun- maker of originality. tyEGRO ’POSSUM SUPPER ENDS IN PITCHED BATTLE.

Jones, of Louisville, retiring chair man of the executive committee. Mr. Huhn Is as broad ns he Is long, nnd he lived squarely up to the tradi tion that men of mighty avoirdupois are witty and gimd-humored. He stood before the great crowd of fellow pill-rollers In the convohtlnn hall fair ly exuding fun. It dimpled his big face and shone In his eyes. It caught his audience before lie began speaking Then. In a deep voice, through which r«n a timbre of melody pleasing to th* ear, he began:. "I came from the great city of the far Northwest—Minneapolis—to the fair and hospitable city of the South —Atlanta—unarmed. I find I made no mistake In doing so. I came her# to add—aye, hurl—the full :40 pounds of my avoirdupois Into the deliberations of the N. A. U. D.

Then pausing for a moment or two, he added with' Inimitable drqltery: "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 that I do not think he Is a Simon-pure bachelor. Back In 1898 he went out to St. Louis and met a promising young party. Be fore he left there the engagement wan announced, nnd since then Simon N Jones has been a faithful and loyal husband to N. A. R. D. Though trou blous limes have beset his marital way nnd his bride has been assailed from every side, he has been faithful."

Fifteen more saloons took the count Thursday afternoon, making In all forty-one liquor and beer dealer, which Imvo received the knock-out blow from the wavo of reform which la sweeping over Atlanta. Although the closing of forty-one sa loons Is a big move toward cleaning up a city In which there existed only 1TJ liquor houses, all told, this Is not all that has been accomplished In the last fortnight. The mixed saloon has been wiped out of existence. Saloons have been cleared of chaTrs and tables. Res taurants have been forbidden, under - penalty, to serve malt or splrltous drinks. The back-door business has gone Into ancient history and the sa loon-keepers have been shown that only orderly places will be tolerated. The city has galtied this at the loss of perhaps $20,000 per annum. It Is ths general belief, however, that the pecuniary loss will be small, as new business will spring 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. Ths favorably reports were adopted without Incident. The adverse reports on fifteen of the licenses were fought by some of the members of council and by the attorneys for the saloonists. Many attempts were made to have sa- Joon licenses reconsidered. Not one was successful. The nearest ths oppo sition came :o success was on the mo tion of Alderman 81ms to reconsider the license of W. B. Archer, which was lost by a vote of 10 to II. Later 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 to reconsider the license of Sam Klein, which was lost by a vote of 5 to 18. Aldermen Hlrach 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. Shurman, 182 Decatur street. Attorney Thomae H. Goodwin appeared for Jake Grusln, 48 Decatur street, and I. L. Cleln, 60 Decatur street. Attor ney Albert Howell appeared for Cleln Brothers, Ivy and Decatur streets. No move was taken by council to recon sider the licenses. The licenses of the following-named wero revoked: I. C. Clark, 198 Decatur street, white. I. Slnkovltz, 254 Decatur, whole sale. 8.
