Professor B. J. Ferguson, for the
past two years professor of business
science at the North Georgia Agri
cultural College, will be at the head of
the business department of Bagwell's
Business College and School of Short
hand, 198 Peachtree street, Atlanta.
Professor Ferguson Is a Virginian by
birth. He received his education at the
State Normal School, Athens, W. Va.;
the University of Kentucky, the North
Indiana Normal College, Valparaiso,
Ind. He also holds certificates from the
Phonographic Institute, Cincinnati, 0.1
the Gregg School of Shorthand, Chi
cago; the Scott-Brown School of Com
merce. New York, and the Zanerlan
Art College, Columbus, Ohio, the leading
school of penmanship In America. He
can teach and write the Pitman, Gra
ham, Munson, Gregg and Chartier sys
tems of shorthand.
Professor Ferguson Is an expert ac
countant, penman and shorthand
writer, and has a wide and successful
experience as a commercial teacher. Hq
has taught In a number of the leading
commercial schools of the North. For
the past two years he has hsd charge
of the department of business science
at the North Georgia Agricultural Col
lege, Dghlonega, Go. He brings with
him the most, unqualified Indorsement
of the entire faculty as the strongest
commercial teacher ever employed at
the N, G. A. C. ( and as a man of char
acter and a high degree of proficiency.
During his connection with that Insti
tution the standard of work In his de
partment was steadily raised in thor
oughness and efficiency and the enroll
ment greatly Increased. He was paid
the highest salary ever received by a
commercial teacher at the N. G. A. C.,
and was offered the position In 1908
and 1907 with a substantial Increase In
salary.
Sirs. Ferguson, who has also been em
ployed as a teacher of Bagwell Buslmfis
College, Is a specialist In typewriting
as well as a successful teacher
shorthand. Sho has taught In a num
her of the leading business colleges of
the country, and Is perhaps the most
successful typewriting teacher In the
South. She teaches the touch system
and can herself write more than 100
words per minute In the typewriter.
Bagwell's Business College Is to be
congratulated upon securing the ser
vices of Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson. With
these additions to the faculty the school
has more teachers In proportion to the
number of students enrolled than any
other school in the city. In the ability
and efficiency of Its teachers, and In the
quality of Instruction given, the school
stands In the very front rank of the
best business colleges of the country.
The Survival of the Fittest.
In speaking of the rapid growth and
popularity of Bagwell's Business Col
lege, Mr. Bagwell, the president, says:
"I attribute the success of the school to
the fact that It depends upon the In
trinsic worth and merit of the work It
Is able to do. The law of the survival
of the fittest Is as unvarying as the
law of gravitation. Progress Is the
order df the day and the school that
holds to antiquated systems of short
hand and bookkeeping and depends for
Its success upon Its ability to advertise
cannot hope for permanent success.
Cheap, Incompetent teachers, and Ir
responsible promises have been the
bane of business colleges. We believe
that there Is a great need for high class
business colleger, In the South and we
are endeavoring to place at the servleo
of our patrons the best tenchlng talent,
the latest and most practical systems
and the most complete equipment to be
had regardless of cost.
"We save time and money for the-
student. We give a business training
that fits for business In little over
HALF THE TIME usually requlreif
Our Interest In the student does not
cease as soon as ho has-paid his tui
tion. We get results.”

MYSTERIOUS LOAN
TOTRE PENSION FUND
•MADE BVJIM SMITH
It la stated upon very good authority
that Colonel James M. Smith, of Ogle
thorpe,, recent candidate for governor,
advanced to the state 817,800 last
April to complete the payments to
Confederate pensioners.
The fund for pensioners was ex
hausted before Greene and Clarke coun
ties were paid, and It became neces
sary to suspend payment. A large
number of pensioners would have had
to-watt until the legislature met before
receiving their money.
Then a proposition was submitted to
Governor Terrell to loan him $17,(00
to complete the payments. The only
condition was that the name of the
party should not be divulged.
The loan was nccepted and tho pen
sions paid at once. From that day to
this no one has ever been able to get
the governor to say who the benefactor
was. The last legislature paid the
sum back.
Now It comes from the best author
ity thnt Col. Jim Smith loaned the
money.
The street car men will have to face
the recorder for obstructing the mili
tary Monday, night while drilling on
Pryor street.
Tuesday afternoon Captain and Ad
jutant Burton Smith addressed a let*
ter to Chief Jennings requesting the
arrest of tho Inspector and motorman
who are declared to have deliberately
run a car Into the Third battalion
while drilling In front of the court
house annex Monday night at 9:45
o’clock.
This Is the second time the street
car men have Interfered with the state
troops In their drills, according to Cap-
lain Palmour, and, as will be seen by
Adjutant Smith's letter, an example Is
to be made of the offenders.
Demand for Arrest.
Adjutant Smith's demand for their
arrest Is as follows:
Atlanti, Oa„ Aug. 78, 1908.
Captain Henry Jennings, Chief of Po
lice, Atlanta, Ga.
Sir: I have the honor to civ'l your
attention to the fact that last night at
9:45 o’clock on South Pryor street, near
East Hunter street, the drill of the
Third batallon of the Fifth regiment
Infantry, National Guard of Oeorgln,
was seriously Interfered with by In
spector F. E. Hoffman and Motornian
J. S. Lowe. These men were upon car
No. 207 of the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company, and sought Inten
tionally to run down a number of sol
diers who were In the discharge of their
duty at regular drill. The car actually
ran Into and struck and Injured a num
ber of men. Captain Palmour was In
command of the battalion at the time.
Captain Catron, his senior In rank,
came upon the scene a moment after
and took command.
The troops clearly had the right of
way, but even If the troops did not
have -the right of way, there was no
excuse for these street car men delib
erately running Into and Injuring them.
I beg, therefore, to ask that you
make cases of disorderly conduct
agnlnst the two men In question and
have them arrested. Please advise me
when the cases are set and I will be
present with the witnesses.
Under the law, the officers in com
mand of the troops had a perfect right
to place the motorman and Inspector
under arrest. They refrained from <1,-
Ing so only to avoid Increasing tnc
alarm of the lady passengers; some
were already nearly hysterical.
I am advised by Captain Catron and
Captain Palmour that the language of
the motorman and Inspector was most
offensive, and that instead of seeming
to regret their outrageous misconduct,
they boldly persisted In their effort to
run down and run over the troops.
We desire to make an example which
will prevent a repetition of such con
duct. Respectfully,
BURTON SMITH.
Captain and Adjutant.
Law In the Cass.
Adjutant Smith Is proceeding under
section 82 of the revised military code,
ns follows;
“The commanding officer, upon any
occasion of duty, or his duly author
ised representative, may place In ar
rest during the continuance thereof
end deliver to the proper civil authori
ties, with charges In writing after re
lief from such duty, any person who
shall, after due warning, trespass upon
the camp ground, parade ground,
armory or other place devoted to such
duty, or shall In any way or manner
Interrupt or molest the orderly dis
charge of duty by such troons, or
shall disturb or prevent the passage
of troops going to or returning from
any duty, or shall Insult, by Jeer or
otherwise, any officer or soldier while
on duty or going to or returning from
duty."
This action above was taken after
Captains Catron and Palmour had con
sulted with Colonel Clifford Anderson,
of the Fifth Georgia regiment, and
Adjutant Burton Smith, of the Third
battalion.
The state military has the right' of
way when performing maneuver* over
any street or highway, according to
section 80 of the revised military code
of Georgia, which reads as follows:
“The United States forces or troops
or any portion of the Georgia military
forces, being assembled for any. pur-
|M>se, or performing any duty accord
ing to law, shall have the right of way
In any street or highway through which
they may pass, provided that the car
riage of the United States malls, the
legitimate functions of the police and
the progress anu operation of lire en
gines and lire departments shall not be
unnecessarily Interfered with thereby.”
_ Captain Palmour Talks.
In speaking of the matter Tuesday,
Captain Palmour said:
"In the earlier portion of the evening
Captain L F. Catron was In charge
of the battalion. After drjlltng It for
a while, he turned the companies over
to' me. four In number, the number
necessary to form a battalion. I saw
the car coming ahead and gave the
command, so thnt the tracks would be
cleared. Four companies, you know,
take lip a good space. The first com
pany cleared the car, the second being
barely missed and the third, Company
A, was run Into, four or five men being
hit. The glass In front of the car
was then smashed, one of ,our men
having his hand cut by a piece of tho
flying glass, which was dressed by a
physician.”
Captain Palmour stopped the car
and threatened to have the street car
men arrested then and there. Instead,
"however, he secured their names and
let the car go on. Captain Palmour
further said that Inspector F. E. Hoo
per was on the front platform right
beside the motorman, J. S. Lowe, and
seemed to be directing the motorman
to go ahead. Several of his men, he
said, will testify that the motorman.
Instead of attempting to stop, slightly
Increased the speed of the ear, hence
the compact wltn the third company In
line.

STEEL HDDP WORKS
WILL BE INCREASED
The Immense plant of the Atlanta
Steel Hoop Company, located on thi
belt line of the Southern Railway, near
Brookwood, will soon be enlarged by
the addition of a barbed wire and
steel railway spike mill. It Is estimat
ed that these Improvements will cost
at Isast 875,000.
This enterprise, which has been In
existence only u short time, Is now
considered ono of the leading mante
facturlng establishments located li
this section of the state, and Is the
largest of Its kind In Georgia. That
the stockholders should decide upon
this large additional outlay speaks well
for the prosperity of the plont, and It
is thought that the new deportments
will be equally as profitable as those
which are now running.
It Is expected that the new depart
ments win be In running order by-
