OFF TO THE POP
ULAR BUSINESS
TRAINING SCHOOL
Students Arriving at the South
ern Business Gullege
The Big Business School on the White
hall Viaduct Is Now Receiving
Pupils for Its Fall Session.
Eager to prepare for commercial posi
tions at the most popular business
training school south of Mason and
Dixon’s line, young people are not wait
ing for September to arrive, but are
n<*w entering the Southern Shorthand
and Business University, that old and
p liable school which teaches the “Gra
ham” system of shorthand and “Twen
tieth Century" bookkeeping, the best
systems in the world. The Graham
system makes by far the most compe
tent stenographers and the fastest
writers.
Fifty Positions Open.
For the summer, which is generally
considered the dull season, the South
ern has broken all records; between
July 25 and August 8 the managers of
the big school received 50 applications
from business firms for stenographers
and bookkeepers, salaries ranging from
HO to $70 per month at the start, and
since that time the demand has not
abated.
Mr. Perry's Nice Position.
Mr. Perry, of Dublin, called around
at the Southern yesterday to shake
hands with his former teachers and to
tell them that since leaving school, only
a few months ago, he had been pro
moted from correspondent In a bank to
cashier, and Is doing nicely indeed.
Southern Graduates Everywhere.
Every banking Institution in Atlanta
has from one to a dozen of the South
ern's graduates employed, and In near
ly all the banks throughout the state
may be found bookkeepers, cashiers
and stenographers who received their
training at the Southern Shorthand and
Business University of Atlanta.
Wanted a Southern Graduate.
"Are you a graduate of the South
ern?" asked a prominent business man
of an applicant who had applied to him
for a position the other day. "If not, I
cannot employ you, because the stu
dents of that school are better qualified
than any others.” The applicant walk
ed away with a sad heart, for he was
hot from the Southern.
19 to 1.
Business education is the order of
the present day and generation. The
other day The Constitution contained
34 advertisements for “Help Wanted,”
19 of which were for those who had
received a business college training to
fill positions as stenographers, book
keepers and office assistants, while the
other 15 were for various classes of
help, there being no other two adver
tisements for any same class of work,
thus showing the great and Increasing
demand for well-qualified office help.
Now Is the time to enter. C&ll or
write at once for catalogue. Addr,ess

10 ROCK THROWING
DURING PLAT HOURS”
Although there have been several
complaints registered with Chief Jen
nings to the effect that children who
use the Fair street school yard as a
play ground, rock passersby, the head
of the Associated Charities, which In
stitution Is running the play ground,
deny that their children have had any
thing to do with It.
The ground has been stocked with
sand piles, Joggling boards and thu
like and is kept up on subscriptions
taken' by the associated charities.
The grounds are said to be In charge
of a young lady all the time the chil
dren are playing there, and the head
of the associated charities say that If
any rock tossing Is done it Isn't done
by their chareeB but by larger chil
dren who climb over tho fence after
the gate has been locked. The matter

SENATE PASSES
PURE FOOD BILL!
IS SENTTO HOUSE
Four Amendments Attach
ed to Wright’s House
Bill
With four amendments attached, the
senate Wednesday morning passed the
Wright pure food bill.
Passage of the measure followed con
siderable debate, and an effort on the
part of Senator Bunn to have the bill
go over to next session, which Senator
Steed opposed in a very strong speech.
The first amendment was offered by
Senator Bunn, and relates to defining
when an article is misbranded. The
original bill required labeling an arti
cle showing "the quantity or propor
tion of any alcohol." It was amended
so as to insert after alcohol "which Is
in excess of the amount prescribed by
the United States pharmacopoeia or the
national formulary as a solvent or pre
servative." It also amends the same
section relative to labeling In conspic
uous letters such articles as contain
alcohol, morphine, opium, cocaine,
heroin, alpha or beta eucaine, chloro
form, cannabis indlca, etc. The amend
ment requires the label to be as con
spicuous as Is required by the United
States law.
An amendment by Senator Crum ex
empts from labeling such goods as are
on hand when the bill becomes effect
ive. Another amendment by Senator
A. O. Blalock fixes the Inspection fee
per ton for feed stuffs at 10 cents In
stead of 20. All of the amendments
were adopted.
Senator Steed opposed them,
cause, he thought, they would cripple
the effectiveness of the measure. He
thought particularly that the amend
ment relative to the quantity of alco
hol would make It possible for patent
medicine men to place any quantity
of alcohol they might choose In prepa
rations.
The bill as amended was Immediately
transmitted to the house.

Mr. Smith, of Greene, Tuesday morn
ing, “Is this: Does this bill provide
that every railroad, whether In the
state or out of the state, must be in
corporated In the state? I would like,
to vote Intelligently on this bill.” Tu
multuous applause followed.
“I do not understand the full char

“Did the gentleman say the ‘full’ or
the ‘fool* character?” asked Mr. Akin*
of Bartow.
“May 1 ask the gentleman from
Greene If he knows where he Is?’*
i asked Mr. McMlchael, of Ma*rlon.
“I do!” returned Mr. Smith. "Does
the gentleman from Marion know

Then the house rose and cheered.'
But Mr. Smith was so excited he for

By Private Leased Wire.
New York, Aug. 15.—Another victim
of the wiles of the fascinating Mrs.
Blna F. Verrault, alias Mrs. Helen
Hamilton, turned up today. He vUlted
Lawyer Hugh Gordon Miller, counsel
for the woman, and said he wns a
German baron. lie begged to get back
a bundle of love letters he had written
to Mrs. Hamilton.
The baron said he was the real nrtl-
cle, but that distinction had not pre
vented his arrival In this country pen
niless. Needing money, he arranged
with a friend of his, a down-town jew
eler, to lend hltn $1,000 worth of gems
to make an Impression on some fair
and rich creature In search of a hus
band. He saw a "personal" and an
swered It, became acquainted with Mrs.
Verrault and gave her the jewels. Now
they are gone and he hears he won’t
be able to share the big fortune of
hers which he was to divide with Ills
friend, the jeweler. Also, he Is afraid
the jeweler will have him arrested If
he does not get back the Jewels.
Jam A S. McClellan, the Philadelphia
grocer who is out $800, was a sad and
broken ninn today.
“I guess I wns stung,” he said re
morsefully, “but I was lucky after all,
for she only got n little out of me. 1
was smart enough to close down on
her after I was out $800. When she
saw hbw sharp I was in money matters
she quit writing to me.”
Suddenly a happy thought occurred
to the grocer. He smiled gleefully In
spite of his sorrow, and said exult-
untly:
’You ought to see other fellows—the
poor fools. Why, some of them are
out $2,200, and I even heard of one
fellow' that gave her altogether $6,000.’

GOSSIP OF-
STATESMEN AND POLITICIANS
Senator C. S. Reid and Representa
tive H. H. Revlll, of Meriwether, were
engaged In a close confab during a
session of the senate. Senator Held Is
short and rotund. Representative Re
vlll Is rotund, but not very short. The
gentleman from Meriwether extends far
out at the belt line.
That whispered conference was
mighty funny as viewed by the senate.
Senator Reid got kind of a side move
ment, tip-toed upw-ard and performed
a Grecian bend to get to Mr. Revlll’s
ar. Mr. Revlll put Ills feet back as
far ns possible without displacing his
equipoise, leaned downward gracefully
and whispered lovingly Into Senator
Reid’s ear. It kept up for five min
utes, nnd then they parted, a smile of
satisfaction on both faces.
Every' member of the house and sen

WHY THIS LABEL?
Perfectly natural. If you don’t know
the class of work this label appears
upon and the methods that go with it.
Hundreds of business men asked
"Why This label?" for years—before
they had It on their printing.
Then they found the answer In cor
rectly executed work that stood the
test of service, and helped build up
trade for them.
They have no doubt now. Why
should you—when we stand ready to
convince you?
