FERGUSON, Former Instructor at North Georgia Agricultural Colltgs, Who It Now with Bagwell's Business College. RUNNING OF TROLLEY INTO DRILLING TROOPS TOCA USEPROSECUTION Fifth Regiment Officers Are Aroused Over , Clash Monday Night Between Street Car and the Battalion. 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.” FOUNDER OF HOSPITAL FOH CONSUMPTIVES IS KILLED OY TRAIN By Private Leased Wire. Asheville, N. C„ Aug. 28.—Mrs. M.

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. MEET 1 SEPT, 10 Joint Legislative Commit tee Will Probe Charges.
