Chattanooga, Tenn.j. May'lT. This morning's session, mark- 1
ing the close of the 6Gth annual convention of the Southern

p.t first anticipated.- , f -
The first business of, the morning session today was in the
nature of a memorial service to two of the convention's former

were J. J. Darlington, of 4 Washington, who was vice-president
in 1910; and Dr, S. Y Jamesonof Atlanta, who was vice-president
in 1CC7. '
The convention this year was the largest in point of-attendance
of any in its history except that held in Washington last
year. The number recorded 03 attending this year is given
as 5,340. :'::- ,.V ; '
