One of the largest and most spirited meetings of the Augusta Retail Merchants Association on rec ord was held last night, at tho of fices of (he Chamber of Commerce with thirty of the members present. In the beginning President K. C. Denton signified hlB Intention of taking the floor during the proceed ings and asked for some one to oc cupy Ihe chair. Vice-presidents Geo. P. Killott and Jos. H. Day were ab sent and Capt. P. H. nice was del egated to fill the position. Mr. John Sylvester first secured the floor and offered the following resolution with a long preamble at tached: "Resolved, That the use of trading stamps be condemned as a pernicious evil and Injurious to legitimate busi ness, and It Is further resolved that all members of the Merchants As sociation refuse to take them now, or at. any future time.” Mr. Denton look the floor at this point and stated that the motion was simply a repetition of the one on tho minutes of the association and h« proposed to attack It. There was some question raised as to whether the meeting should go Into executive session, but much protest was reg Isterod against such action, several of the members declaring thrt they were of the opinion It should be .in open meeting. It was finally agr«<-d that this should be the oa" , but Capt. P. H. Rice asked for tho ap pointment of a prrfcs committee- to censor the matter written by the mem»-*rs of the press present. The Herald representative at this stage stated that if a censored report of tne meeting was made It should come as the work of the commit ti> and not as that Of the newspap er reporters chang' d to suit tho memoers of the committee and would not submit to such action. However, Mr. K. C. Denton, who was still occupying the chair, when lhe question came up, sta'ed that h.« felt confident that the press repre sentatives would give a fair and ac curate report of facts brought out and consequently he was satisfied. The press committee was named, however, Messrs. Walker, Von Kamp and Field being appointed The members of the association present fluted that In appointing a committee they did not wish to shut the minority report from a hearing, nor could they prevent anything from going out In the wav of (Raiments after the meeting. When this quo 7- tlon was dropped by the association Mr. Denton again took the floor and asked that his successor In the chair come forward and Capt. p h. Rice occupied the position of chair man throughout the remainder of the meeting. MR. DENTON OPPOSED IT. Mr. Denton said in part: "1 am going to attack the validity of thol resolution as offend and as It stands on the minutes. The Merchants As sociation was organized for the up building of the retail trade of Au gusta and to promote lls »enernl bus iness Interest. It was dlstlnclv slate i ihat nothing should be done to throl tle competition 1 defy any man In this room to prove otherwise. let It go out that we are maintaining this position and our very purpose Is wiped out of existence. 1 declare, gentlemen, that you are doing a dan gerous thing and I move that the mo tion as It now stands be stricken from 'he mlnules " MANY DISCUSSIONS There was considerable ngitnt* m exhibited by several members of the association and arguments pro and con were offered Indiscriminately, despite the efforts of the chatr to maintain the regular oWer of pro cedure. An unexpected action fol lowed this when Mr. K. C. Dentil t offered his resignation as president of the issuclatUm. Hardly had ho made the statement before Mr. Mill larky moved that the resignation be refused and Mr. Pteld seconded the motion. \ vote followed In which the restgnatlcn was almost unanimously declined. CALLED IT A SWINDLE. Mr. Von Katnp took the floor ant made aome pointed statement* con cernlng the operations of the trad ing stamp bustness as It was con ducted here aome twelve rears ago. i but he was advised that the propo sition now under consideration was different and the management en tirely changed. Mr. Muliarky char acterlxed the Idea of trading stamps as a sw Indie, pure and simple, and Mr Field stated that he was ready i to back up Mr. Von Khmp and Mr. Muliarky » opinion of (he matter. Mr. Ptillgpi declined that he was |i f the opinion fhnt Augusta i»cr I chant* might be exhibiting 'oo much |of the mos* hack qualities and tug ! vested Investigation "If It's a good thing." he said, let u* have It and I I! It * a bad thing and aome want to gallop Into tt, Jet cm go.** However, the suggestion of Mr Phllpnt was not very favorably re cetved and Mr Von Kamp wa* ask ed by one favoring the trading s-amp proposition what action he would take In the event one of hi* largo competitor* Inaugurated the scheme. I weu'.d have them as sure a* the sun rises tomorrow morning,” hd de dared. Mr Denton took the floor ou the question with a limitation of two minute* and he made a clear and concise statement of h's position h;. i declaring that be could not consist THE AUGUSTA HERALD ently endorse the resolution as it stood and consequently could not consistently act as president of the Retail Merchants Association anil that sooner or later his resignation would have to become effective. Mr. Fred Speth outlined the course being taken by the largest dealers all over the country In regards to the trading stamp proposition and he stated that every city around Au gusta was Inaugurating the method of attracting trade, which was legi timate and highly endorsed by the leading firms of the country. Much discussion followed this statement and amid the talk a call was made for the question. A vote was taken on the resolution offered by, Mr. Sylvester and Captain Rice, presiding, declared the resolution duly carried and called for a motion to adjourn. The meeting ended in this way and by the action taken simply reiterated the position already held against, trading stamps. LETTER TO DR. T. R. WRIGHT. Augusta, Ga.
