T1IE : i'LAXTA GEORGIAN. SATURDAY, AT «; 1ST 25. in SOUTHERN SHORTHAND AND BUSINESS 'll UNIVERSITY’S RECORD BREAKERS OVERWHELM INGLY SUSTAIN ITS CLAIM OF SUPERIORITY I GHEIT SCHOOL IIH GREAT CITI Over 600 Young People Enroll Every Year. Only the Beit Systems Are Taught at the Southern Shorthand and Bueineee Uni versity. All 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 ns the Southern Shorthand and Business Uni versity- |s the recognised leader of commercial education, it being the recogplsed 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 wltl their course of Instruction they will se cure positions. One Month 120 Positions. Tho 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 Man 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 man In my place here. This position will pay $90 per month to start with. An all-round man la desired and I trust that you may be able to make a good selection." Has Risen to High Position. Mr. L. Q. C. I .a mar. whose picture appears on this page, Is nn 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, apd 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 study you again procured for m* an other well paying position.” THE SOUTHERN'S The School and System That Take the Day. “Nothing But tho Boot That’* Going” la Always tho Motto of tho 8outh< ern Shorthand and Buzi- nooo Univoroity. LUCIUS Q. C. LAMAR. A So. 8. and B. U. Graduate, now in Cuba. When It come* 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 aa yet been able to any way near ap proach the records that have been made and are being made by the students of the old and well established Southern 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 ut the Southern, with Its superior systems and excellent corps of teachers, than at any other business school. The World-Breaking Record. The Southern produces a world- breaking record In the exceptional case of .Mr. Herman Strauss, of Albany, Ga., who, after Just four weeks' study of the Graham system at this school, learned sliorthund and attained the re markable speed of 12.'» words per min ute. The best test of his ability, how ever. was that he Immediately accept ed, and lias since creditably filled, a position as stenographer In the office of the general manager of the Albany and Northern Railway Company.

Mrs. Bailey, of Atlanta, accepted a position ns stenographer with nn 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 nnd unfa miliar matter, after attending the Southern Just five weeks. He now holds an Important position with the Southern ICxpress Company, having risen to it through short hand. Mr. H. P.

Mr. Snm Humphries, of Columbus, Miss., only remained at the Southern five weeks before accepting a splendid position as stenographer with F. S. Cox & Co., of Atlanta. Miss Tonle Crabhe, after a course of six weeks In shorthand, accepted a responsible position ns stenographer. Mrs. Minnie Fontaine Stoke* also ac cepted a lucrative position after a course of fix weeks. One hundred new pupils will enter the Southern Shorthand nnd Business University during the month of Sep tember. They hnvo selected this school because of the following facts: Best Known 8chool. 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 ns Moire’s Business College. Right other business schools have opened und closed out In Atlanta since Messrs. Briscoe and Arpold formed co partnership which, after all these years of toll and experience, hns developed the largest, most progressive and most remarkable business school In the Southern states today. Continually Chr.nqinq Hands. Kvery other business school now op erating In Atlanta hns changed hands I within the past two years, and one I school manager has made TJIRKB KX- PERIMRNTK within the last TWELVE | MONTH#. The Moral. What is tho moral of this? Why. go to the Houthern nt first, the old, tried, and reliable school, whose systems, fa cilities, quarters, and reputation are the BEST, nnd thereby take no chance of failure. 2,700 Against 300. There nre 3,000 schools nnd colleges In the United States and Canada teach ing various system of shorthand. 2,700 of which use the Graham 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 beat; there fore. the Southern teaches Graham*! 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 os 450 words per minute, while writers of the other system do well to “get It down” faster than 150 words per minute. 07 Typewriting Machines. The Houthern owns and operates 67 typewriting machines, thereby enabling Its pupils to become more proficient than pupils of schools where only 15 or 20 machine* are used. Most schools have from a dozen to twenty. Inquire About the Southern. Ask the business men of Atlanta about the Southern; their advice ought to help you decide upon a school.

Paris, Aug. 25.—Madame Bartet, the gifted member of the Theater Fran ca!*, who last year received the Croea of the Legion of Honor, haa sent In her resignation aa member of the legion and returned the cross, as a result of the chnncelry’s 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 she. who having no preteptlon to being anything but a painstaking actress and member of the Comedle Francals, nhould have got the cross, when Mad ame Rernhardt, who Is celebrated all over the world for her versatile genius. not only as actress, but as playwright, sculptress 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 Rernhardt not being connected with any state subsidised theatre could not aspire to be decorated. “Very well," said Mad ame Bartet, who 1s considered the finest actress In the most celebrated company of stars In Europe, the mem bers of the Comedle Francals. “Very well, I do not propose to accept a re ward for being a functionary. If the government can not give the cross to .>Vtdame Bernhardt because she Is a great actress, then I ns an actress re fuse to keep the one I have got." And she sent It back. The “Gaulols” prints an Interview with Baron Oaren, Austrian minister plenipotentiary, who has arrived In Pari* with Count Golucbowakt, the Austrian minister of foreign affairs. Questioned as to whether Count Goluchowskl’s pesence In Paris had any polltcal significance, the baron re plied: “No; hla excellency Is here merely on a holiday. He nas married a French womnn, the sister of Prince Murat, and he will spend his time here with his family-In-law. It has been said In the press that Austria would probably In terfere In Russian affairs.

Bandit 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 his conn he neither eats nor drinks. While resting he lakes no nourishment whatever, but only occasionally breathea a little ether, which Is ad ministered to him through a silt In the glass. He remains a week In the coffin at'Vtlme, and loses only eight pounds In weight during that period. When he comes out of 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 lo be a corps*. A new method of cooling drinks has been adopted In the faahtonable cares 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 ilquld air and dropa a little of It Into your glass. At once myriads of crys- tnls 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 cool drink Imagina ble. If an attempt be made to drink the liquid when the nlr Is first poured Into It, the mouth-would be skinned is If by a red-hot Iron. A drink, 'frappe a I'alr,” Is sold at about live times the normal price. French writers are drawing attention to the real danger that exlata to peo- C la staying In country placea from the Itea of vipers. There are two kinds of this poisonous reptile acclimatised In France—the comomn viper or aspic,, and the leas dangerous small viper, known aa the “lance of Achillea.” A scientific man. M. Vlaud Grandy Ma rais, has drawn up statistics showing that-In the two departments of the Loire Inferlerure and the Vendee In one yenr there are 121 cases of bites from vipers, 82 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 flammation. 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 live hours for the poison to work. Most French chemists sell a special treatment, consisting of cubes or serum, a syringe and a solution of hypoclilorlde. nuoeWlId FOR WEEKS IN WOODS By Private loused Wire. Wilmington.
