7 PPP THE . TLANTA GEORGIAN. SATURDAY, AUGUST 25. im THE SOUTHERN SHORTHAND AND BUSINESS UNIVERSITY’S RECORD BREAKERS OVERWHELM INGLY SUSTAIN ITS CLAIM OF SUPERIORITY i tier school IH1 GREAT CII( Over 600 Young People Enroll Every Year. Only ths Best 8ysteme Are Taught at the Southern Shorthand and Bueinese Uni. versity. AH bound for the big school! The fall term opens In September and Indications point to the largest en> rollment at the Southern Shorthand and Business University In the history of that old and reliable school. Atlanta Is the greatest city, in many respects, In the South, and as the Southern Shorthand and Business Uni- versltw Is the recognised leader of commercial education, It being the recognised oldest and largest business school In the South, young people are especially desirous of coming to At lanta and to the Southern, because they know that when they get through with their course of Instruction they will se cure positions. One Month 120 Positions. The Southern's "applications for help" register shows that 120 calls for stenographers and bookkeepers were made upon that Institution between July 25 and August 24, and during the same period quite a number of Its graduates were placed In positions. Business Men Want Southern's Pupils. “If you did not receive your business training at the Southern I do not want you," saJd a prominent business man to an applicant, "because the graduates of that school have given me better satisfaction." A $90 Position. Mr. C. H. Brooks, a graduate of the Southern, writes from El Paso, Tex.: "I expect to be transferred to a better position and have promised to get a mkn In my place here. This position will pay $00 per month to start with. An all-round man Is desired and I trust that you may be able to make a good selection." Has Risen to High Position. Mr. L. Q. C. Lamar, whose picture appears on this page, is an example of hard study coupled with the right kind of training; no superficial, "quick easy" course student ever attains to such prominent and lucrative positions as that occupied by Mr. Lamar, who has risen, step by step, to private counsel for the United States minister and consul general at Havana. He attended the Southern Shorthand and Business University some time ago, his first position being that of stenographer, which has led up to his present high office. The Southern’s Great Influence. The Southern's graduates are every where almost, and wherever they go the business world wants them. Mr. Edwards wrote from Valdosta: "Please accept my thanks for the as sistance you have rendered me in ob- talng a position In this place, where I am entirely unknown and all are strangers to me. I find several of your boys here In the banks.” Two Positions Offered Him. Mr. E. H. Lake, whose letter the Southern has on file, writes: "Before I had completed my combination course you procured for me a bookkeeper's position In a bank, which I declined In order to complete my course in short hand, and before I had finished that THE SOUTHERN'S The School and System That Take the Day. 'Nothing But ths Best That's Going” Is Always ths Motto of the South ern Shorthand and Busi ness University. LUCIUS Q. C. LAMAR. A So. S. and B. U. Graduate, now in Cuba. When it comes to breaking records, the Southern Shorthand and Business University, of this city, "takes the cake." The students of no other school or system In the whole country have os yet been able to any way near ap proach the records thnt have been made and nre being made by the students of the old and well established Smitlurn Shorthand and Business University, and notwith standing this fact, the Southern does not advocate short courses, but the ex ceptional records of bright students are given to show that a great deal more can be accomplished at the Southern, with its superior systems and excellent corps of teachers, than at any other business school. Ths World-Breaking Record. The Southern produces a world breaking record In the exceptional case of Mr. Herman Strauss, of Albuny, Ga., who, after Just four weeks’ study of the Graham system at this school, learned shorthand and attained the re markable speed of 125 words per min ute. The best test of his ability, how ever, was that he Immediately accept ed, and has since creditably filled, a position as stenographer In the office of the general manager of the Albany and Northern Railway Company. Mr. Strauss' Lettor. Squthern Shorthand and Business University, Atlanta, Ga.—Dear Sirs: After tour weeks' careful Instruction. I am, at this date, able to take one hundred and twenty-five words per minute. Not alone am I able to write this amount, but, after having written, I am able to read. I feel safe In stating that any one could accomplish a great deal at the Southern Shorthand find Business Uni versity, with careful preparation of the lessons assigned, and strict attention to the Invaluable Instruction received at the hands of the excellent faculty of the college. HERMAN D. STRAUSS, Student of ths S. S. and B. U., Who, in One Month, Lsarned Shorthand at a Spesd of 125 Words a Minute. THE FULL TERM RUSH NOW BEGINS Students Are Enrolling From All Over the Country. Ths Oldest and Largest Business 8chool in the South to Begin Its Fall Session in September. I Wish to extend to the college my thanks for the Invaluable services ren dered me. enabling me to sustain my livelihood. The Southern Shorthand and Business University has my heart iest congratulations. May success ever attend It. Yours respectfully, HERMAN I). STRAUSS. Other Remarkable Instances. Mrs. Bnlley, of Atlanta, accepted a position as stenographer with an elec trical company In Atlanta, after Just four weeks' study of the Graham sys tem at the Southern. Mr. H. N. McCullough wrote ninety words per minute of new and unfa miliar matter, after attending the Southern Just five weeks. He now holds an important position with the Southern Express Company, having risen to It through shorthand. Mr. H. 1*. White has Just accepted « position as stenographer at Oxford, after an eight weeks' course at the Southern. Mr. Sam Humphries, of Columbus, Miss., only remained at the Southern five weeks before accepting a splendid position ns stenographer with F. 8. Cox & Co., of Atlanta. Miss Tonle Crabbe, after a course of six weeks In shorthand, accepted n responsible position as stenographer. Mrs. Minnie Fontaine Stokes also ac cepted a lucrative position nfter a course of »«|x weeks. One hundred new pupils will enter the Southern Shorthand and Business University .during the month of Sep tember. They have selected this school because of the following facts: Best Known School. The Southern Is the oldest, conse quently, the best known business school In the South, having been under the same management, that of Messrs. A. C. Briscoe and L. W. Arnold, for seven teen years, prior to that time the school having been, for twenty-five years, managed by Professor B. F. Moore, and known as Moore's Business College. Eight other business schools have opened and dosed out In Atlanta since Messrs. Briscoe and Arnold’formed co partnership whic h, after all‘these years of toll and experience, has developed the hugest, most progressive and most arkable business school In t!ic Southern states today. Continually Changinq Hands. Every other business school now op erating In Atlanta has changed hands | within the past two years, and one |school manager has made THREE EX PERIMENTS within the last TWELVE | MONTHS. , Tho Moral. ; What Is the moral of this? Why. go to the Southern at first, the old, tried, and reliable school, whose systems, fa cilities, quarters, and reputation nre the BEST, and thereby take no chance of failure. 2,700 Against 300. There nre 3,000 schools ahd colleges In the United States and Cunnda teach ing vnrloua system of shorthand. 2,700 of which use the Grnhutn and other Pltmanlc systems. The Southern teaches Graham, the best of the Pltmanlc sys tems. 900 Against 100. Of the 1.000 United States court re porters, 900 use the Pltmanlc systems against 100 of the various other sys tems. Fast Writing. It Is better to teach the best; there fore, the Southern teaches Graham's system of shorthand. It Is as easily and as quickly learned as any other system worth learning, and, when mas tered, Is capable of a much greater speed than any other system In exist ence. Mr. Fred Ireland has written the Graham system as fast as 450 words per minute, while writers of the other system do well to "get It down" faster than 150 words per minute*. 67 Typowriting Machines. The Southern owns and operates 67 typewriting machines, thereby enabling Its pupils to become more proficient than pupils of schools where only 15 or 20 machines nre used. Most schools have from a dozen to twenty. Inquire About ths Southern.

By RAOUL DE SAINT RENE. fipw-lnl to The Georgina. Paris, Aug. 25.—Madame Bartel, the gifted member of the Theater Fran- cals. who last year received the Cross of the Legion of Honor, has sent In her resignation as member of the legion and returned the cross, as a result of the chancelry'a refusal to decorate Madame Bernhardt. Madame Bartet Is a loyal admirer of talent In her fellow actresses, and when she inquired how It was possible that •hr. who having no pretention to being Anything but a painstaking actress and member of the Comedle Francois, should have got the cross, when Mad ame Bernhardt, who Is celebrated all over the world for her versatile genius, not only as actress, but as playwright, sculptross and theatrical manager as well, should be refused the decoration, She was told that the government had decorated her not as an actress, but as a member of a state Institution and In 'iat way a government func tionary, and that Madame Bernhardt not being connected with any state subsidized theatre could not aspire to be decorated. "Very well,” said Mad ame Bartet, who Is considered the finest actress In the most celebrated company of stars In Europe, the mem bers of the Comedle Francais. "Very well, I do not propose to accept a re ward for being a functionary. If the government can not give the cross to .Madame Bernhardt because she Is a great actress, then I as an actress re fuse to keep the one I have got.” And she sent It back. Count Goluchowskl, the Austrian minister of foreign afTalrs. Questioned as to whether Count Ooluchowskl's pesence In Paris had any polltcal significance, the baron re plied: "No; his excellency Is here merely on a holiday. He nas married a French woman, the sister of Prince Murat, and he will spend his time here with his famlly-ln-Iaw. It has been said In the press that Austria would probably In terfere In Russlnn affairs.

ATLANTA TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION, Postoffice Box 266. "Aboslute rest Is to be found only In death," says Monsieur Kldach Banbll; "but as ninny of us are very tired but do not -want to die, the best way for us to seek repose Is In occasionally slmulalng death." This M. Bandll him self does. When he Is fatigued by overwork he goes to bed In a coffin, with a thick glass cover. For forty- eight hours before shutting himself up In Ills cofln he neither eats nor drinks. While resting he takes no nourishment whatever, but only occasionally breathes a little ether, which Is ad ministered to him through a silt In the glass. He remains a week In the coffin at a time, and loses only eight pounds In weight during that period. When he comes out or his retreat he Is a little weak for a day or two, but soon picks up again and declares there Is no holiday Imaginable which does a man so much good as pretending to be a corpse. A new method of cooling drinks has been adopted In the fashionable cafes here. This Is by means of liquid air. When you order, a drink and ask for it cold the bartender, after mixing the proper Ingredients, produces a flat of liquid air and drops a little of It Into your glass. At once myriads of crys tals form In the glass and a thick mist covers the surface. The drink can only be consumed when the mist begins to evaporate and the crystals have melted, then It constitutes the most exquisitely 1 cool drink Imagina ble. If an attempt be made to drink the liquid when the air Is first poured Into It, the mouth would be shinned ns If by a red-hot 'iron. A drink, "frappe a I'alr," Is sold at about five times the normal price. French writers are drawing attention to the real danger that exists to peo- B le staying In country places from the ltes of vipers. There are two kinds of this poisonous reptile acclimatized in France—the comomn viper or aspic, and the less dangerous small viper, known as the "lance of Achilles." A scientific man, M. Vlaud Orandy Ma rais, has drawn up statistics showing that in the two departments of the Loire Inferlerure and the Vendee In one year there nre 321 cases of bites from vipers, 62 of which proved fatal. Many victims succumb through neg ligence, not thinking the matter seri ous, especially as the pain Is not very bad, though there is a short, sharp In- fiammatlon. All of which shows that It Is necessary to be very careful about bites from venomous creatures, though one need not exaggerate the danger, as It takes five hours for the poison to work. Most French chemists sell a special treatment, consisting of cubes or serum, a syringe and a solution of hypochloride. NUOE'lfTiVEB FOR WEEKS IN WOODS By Prlvnte rinsed Wire.
