MODERN 1 MERCHANDISING AS W1 SEE IT—AND AS WE PRACTICE IT Modern merchandising has almost become a new trade-mark for us. The brief phrase is bursting with thought, but as we see it and use it, “Modern Merchandising” locks horns V with a great many established and perhaps blindly fol lowed rules. Under the Banner of “Modern Merchandis ing” we have aspired to great things. To build a greater and greater Chamberlin- Johnson- DuBose Co. Of course, self-confidence is the badge beneath ev ery success. But it is the thing above all else that we must actually feel, not merely assume, to command re sults. \ But in this upbuilding we have never once attempted a single project without measuring it with avowed abil ity. Perception tells that it has given our efforts marked success. Take, for example, February, March, April, May— every month of our fiscal year without an exception has piled up over the corresponding month of 1906 just as that year ran ahead of 1905. Months when many stores were satisfied to equal or run behind. And why? What magic is there that makes this store outstrip in growth? Advertising? Not the sole reason—that would be impossible, for words are always readier than values, and easier to build. Our talk has been equaled many times—but what the talk stood for is as distinctive still as it was the day we first set up our own translation of the term “Modern Merchandising.” No, it’s deeper than advertising. It’s having the merchandise. It is taking always an optimistic view of the situation. By inspiring a spirit of exhiliaration and buoyancy that pervades every branch of our great store family, collectively and individually. Nothing can retard the steady onward swing of such business, nor warp it from its course. The increasing of sales each year, each month, each day becomes at once a pleasure and inspiration for ev ery one instead of a duty. • . Then when such a time as this spring comes, we are ready, the whole organization responds with thought and energy. - 1 * The manner in which we have passed April and May and swing into June reassures us that our idea of modem merchandising is right. To speak modestly, we have a large stock carefully and intelligently complete in every detail. To this we have just added some large purchases in many departments; in others some needful and at tractive things. Upon other pages we are telling you of some of them. They give you a chance to measure real merit. To test and compare real values, not talk. » Superiority only asserts itself by contrast. Cl nan nberl ih-I oknson-D uBose Cempatvy MAY PROBE .SANITY OF EDW. VANDERBILT New York,- June li.—The recent marriage of Mra. May 8. Pepper, the Splrltuallet leader, to Edward Ward Vanderbilt, revived Intereet yeelerday when an application wae made In the eupreme court In Brooklyn to have a committee appointed to Inquire Into Vanderbllt’e mental condition.

He la either guilty or Innocent. If he I* guilty there should be no commutation •of sentence. I had as toon sea him given his liberty aa to have him com muted." That la the view of Mrs. Georgia Hembree, wife of Richard Hembree, who was attacked at her home near Battle Hill on August 16, 1905. Mrs. Hembree, with her husband, consulted with the three members of the prison commission for a long while Tuesday morning. Johnson, who lias been convicted of the assault and Is under sentence of death, waa respited not long since to June 14. In order that the commission might have the ad vantage of every possible fact bearing on the case. To the questioning of the commis sion, Mrs, Hembree expressed abso lute certainty that Will Johnson was the man. Rather than see him com muted to life Imprisonment, she would prefer to see him given his liberty. The commlselon has taken the rase under advisement, but will probably not pass on It finally until Wednesday, when Governor Terrell will return from Jamestown.

Special to The Georgian. Marietta, Ga., June 13.—Will Lock hart. a mulatto, aged 25 years, was murdered here at 10 o'clock last night by unknown parties. He was stabbed In the neck, the Jugular vein being severed, but he managed to walk about two blocks to a doctor's residence, falling dead Just aa he opened the gate. A negro woman. Lula Holmes, who was with him Just before he was stabbed. Is being held on eusplclon. Lockhart was a rather bad character, having served a two years' term In the peni tentiary. Although the board of police com missioners was In secret session Tues day night from 10 until 12 o'clock, the commlseloners Insist that nothing of Importance transpired. One of the commissioners accounts for one hour by declaring that this time was occupied by Captain English In telling a funny story. A loud and long laugh was heard to Issue from the commissioners' room during the little heart-to-heart conference, and this Is supposed to have marked the end of the yarn. It must have been a good one. As to the remaining hour no expta nation la offered. What happened along about the hour of midnight Is merely speculative and based on rumor. It Is known for a fact, however, that an effort was made by the commission ers to reach Detective Sergeant Lan ford and have him before the board for some purpose. It Is rumored the board discussed the criticism by de- tectlves ot the methods employed by Judge Calhoun, and It la surmised the head of the detective force was wanted In order that he might throw some light on this matter. The commission ers say this subject was merely men tioned. At any rate the commission was anxious to get hold of Sergeant Lanford. He was not found, however, before adjournment. The question of assistant chief was also touched on. It Is learned, and a committee appointed to prepare the ex amination for applicants. The exami nation will be held on June IT. So far no applications have been filed. Nine new men. who recently passed the civil service examination, were elected to the force and were sworn In Wednesday morning.

TELEGRAPHONE JOBE USED BY TRAINMEN ON A., B. & A. Auto Repair Company. Special to The Georgian. Columbus, Ga., June 12.—The great Increase In the number of automobiles In this city has necessitated the forma tion of a repair and garage company, which hds applied for Incorporation In the aupertnr court, the parties being W. B. Slade and C. E. Shulue, Announcement was made Wednes day morning by Vice President and General Manager George Dole Wadley that the entire system of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad will shortly be equipped with the tele- graphone. What has heretofore been an experiment with two southern roads, but has worked out on a prac tical and euccessfu! basis by the larg est roads of the North and East, will be put into dally use by the A.. B. and A., the newest and most progressive road tn the South. The telegraphone along the lines of the A.. B. and A. has already been completed between LaGrange and Oglethorpe, a distance of 100 miles. The train crews and operators are able not only to send telegraphic mes sages, but to talk over the wires at the same time, the one not Interfering with ihe other. In addition to this every paseenger and freight train Is equipped with a telephone nnd can make con nections with the wires from any place on the lines. All that is necessary Is to get out a little pole, very much resem bling a Jointed fishing road, on the end of which Is a little hook. This hook may be hung over the wire, forming a circuit, so that the members of the train cr«W can talk to either La- Grange, Chalybeate, Talbotton or Ogle thorpe. Tnla'devtce will be of special advan tage In caae of accident, or tn case of anything happening to an engine or one of the cars. Instead of watting until a cut-in can be made and a tele graph Instrument Installed the tele graphone may be brought out and In the same length of time that It lakes to make a city call Ihe shops of the company can be advised and a relief train sent speeding on the way. The device will also prove of great advan tage to any passengers who have urgent messages to send. The only other devices of this kind In the South Is a small system which the Southern railway has had Installed on a section of Its lines In Tennessee, while the Atlantic Coast Line has also made the experiment. The larger and more Important roads of the East have used the telegraphone for some time with most satisfactory results.
