September 1st!
Notv to the business school!
And to the “Southern," of course, If
the best Is desired!
Over 14,000 have tried it and they
say that it is good enough for them.
And why? Because the quality of in
struction Is the best and enables the
graduates to hold the highest class
positions.
"Did you receive your business edu
cation at the Southern Shorthand and
Business University? If not, I cannot
give you employment."
That was the question propounded by
a prominent business man to an appli
cant for a position, and while this
question is not put directly to all ap
plicants for positions, it Is generally
understood that .the Southern's stu
dents are more competent, hence are
In greater demand and command bet
ter salaries than students of other
schools. The Southern received 120 # re
quests for bookkeepers and steriog
rophers In 30 days. .
The Southern hns been under the
same management for seventeen years.
The other business schools in Atlanta
are continually changing hands.
One school says that It has more
teachers In proportion to scholars than
any other school in Atlanta. We are
told that said school has two or three
teachers.
The .Southern has eight!
The Southern owns and operates 69
typewriting machines.
Go nround and see the big school,
that's the way to become posted. Now

CRY FOR THE OWNERSHIP
B Y CITY OF LIGHTING PLAN7
Continu'd from Page Ono.
Chief Joyner woke up to a reali
zation that he had won the mayor
alty of the city which he had serv
ed so long and efficiently by a
mere eyelash. The folks wanted
something besides personality.
They wanted principle. Goodwin
represented that principle.
.Mr. Goodwin followed in the
footsteps of another young man—
James L. Key. Mr. Key had run
for mayor on a previous occasion.
He said afterwards that the time
for his platform was inopportune,
lie was defeated. He took his de
feat philosophically. He came
back to the people and asked them
to elect him an alderman. One of
the most popular and one of the
strongest men in the city offered
for the same job. But Mr. Key
got it. The people liked his V r *u-
ciplcs.
How it Con bo Done.
Mr. Key had told the people, and la
telling them to thla good day, that
they have enough machinery at the
water-works plant to equip an electric
lighting plant to be owned by the city.
He la telling the people that the city
la apendlng with the Georgia Railway
and Electric Company about $110,000
annually for lightning the atreeta. He
la Inflating that about half of tjils
$110,000 could be aaved by ualng the
power out there at the pumping ata-
tlon. He la telling the people that
cnndulte ure already under the atreeta,
which are owned by the people. Theae
condulta are being uaed by the cor
poration!. But the city wisely re
served the right to use these conduits.
There Is nothing to prevent the city
from running wires through therii. •
Mr. Key la Insisting that the city
might even be In position to atrlng
wires on the poles which are already In
the atreeta. He la not quite clear on
thla point. But If the city couldn't. It
would be an easy matter to put up a
few polea for heraelf; that in, If the
Georgia Railway and Electric <Com
pany refuaed to sell the polea already
up. preferring to decorate the street
corners. Of course the company likes
to decorate street corners, both with
light and poles—for a consideration.
Furnish Light to Individuals.
Then the people might be benefited
In their homes. After the atreeta were
lighted the city could go ahead nnd
furnish light for residences. It might
mean an enlargement of the plant, but
that would be easy. There are several
reasons why the citizen would rather
deal with Its employees than with
private corporation—thnt la, aside from
the financial gain. Arbitrary la
strong word, but It Is the only one to
be used in this connection. Here are
couple of examples:
Ralph Van Lundlngham Is the pro
prietor of the Majestic hotel. A lot of
eople know Mr. Van Landlngham
hey know him to be a reasonable
business man. Everybody knows the
Majestic hotel. They know It to be a
very excellent hotel. It has electric
lights. Formerly this electricity was
supplied by the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company; but not any more.
Mr. Van Landlngham'a contract was
about to expire. The Georgia Railway
and Electric Company people wanted
him to renew for a longer time than
ho had a lease on the Majestic hotel.
Very naturally he refused. They told
him they would give him five minutes
to decide. He decided In one minute—
NOT TO SION THE CONTRACT.
And Off Went the Light.
That was at seven minutes to 7
o’clock. Just at the dinner hour. The
women were In their rooms dressing.
Three of them were using curling
tongs. Some of the men were shaving;
others were trying to knot ties correct
ly. At six minutes to seven there was
a little clicking sound, and out went
the lights. Feminine screams and
masculine something else filled the air.
Mr. Van Landlngham was busy ex
plaining for half an hour. When his
guests learned the reason, they trans
ferred their rage to the Georgia Rail
way and Electric Company. Oas Jets
that had grown rusty from disuse
were lighted. Candles were dragged
out. And they somehow made out.
Mr. Van Landlngham was obdurate
about the contract. The Georgia Rail
way and Electric Company people were
obdurate. They owned the gas plant.
Mr. Van Landlngham had to have
light. What was he going to do about
It? He showed them. In a remarkably
short time the Majestic had a private
electric lighting plant. Then the Oeor-
the plant. Mr. Van Landlngham didn’t
care to sell. He is using his private
plant. He owns It.
At Corporation's Mercy.
E. W. Allen & Co. operate a print
ing establishment on Alabama street.
They use a lot of electricity. One day
the meter caught fire from being short
circuited, or the wires getting crossed,
or something like that. The meter was
melted. Application was made for i
new meter so that power might con
tlnue to be supplied. The company
was told that its meter had been
melted by Its wires and that E. W.
Allen & Co. was .not to blame. The
Georgia Railway and Electric Company
refused to replace the meter until the
old one had been paid for. What are
you going to do about It? was their
attitude, Mr. Allen hail to have power,
or shut down his business, so he paid
for the meter.
There are other Instances, AND THE
CITIZENS KNOW IT.
Then there Is the gas plant. If you
decide that you don’t like the Georgia
Railway and Electric Company and
are not going to use Its electricity, why
the Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany doesn't care. You will have to
use Its gas. It owns the gas plant,
What are you going to do ubout
THAT?
Let City Own Gas Plant.
Mr. Key says you ought to own your
gas plant. So do a lot of other people,
for that matter, but they are not aider-
men, and they can’t get up In the
council chamber and throw It In the
teeth of the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company. Mr. Key can, and
does.
The Georgia Railway and Electric
Company officials and lawyers claim
they have a perpetual charter for the
gas company. They assert that the
city has absolutely nothing to do with
Its frarfchlse. City Attorney Mayson
hns disagreed with them to an extent.
So have other people. But the Ignor
ance of the people simply pains the
Georgia Railway nnd Electricity Com
pany. They assert that the franchise
was granted in 1856. They point out
that the state legislature granted It
and thnt the city of Atlanta, then i
little village, was not taken Into con
slderaiop. They don’t say much about
the fact that this franchise was grant
ed for the manufacture and sale of gas
for ILLUMINATING purposes. They
don't call attention to the fact that
this franchise was granted for the
manufacture and sale of gas for IL
LUMINATING purposes In the CITY
OF ATLANTA AND NOT IN FULTON
COUNTY. The limits of Atlanta wen
small In 1856. They have been ex
tended considerably since that time*
The franchise grant hasn't been ex
tended BY THE CITY along with the
limits. BUT THE GAS COMPANY
HAS DONE THE EXTENDING.
Liberal Use of Watar in Stock.
The Georgia Railway and Electric
Company doesn’t say anything about
the fact that a duplicate of the present
plant eould be erected for $500,000 to
be OPERATED AND OWNED BY
THE CITY. The learned lawyers don't
tell the people thnt the present gas
company has stocks and bonds out
standing against It for $2,600,000, and
that IT PAYS HANDSOME DIVI
DENDS ON THAT $2,600,000. Neither
do these learned lawyers tell the people
that FOUR-FIFTHS OF THE VALUE
OF THAT INVESTMENT IS REPRE
SENTED RY THE FRANCHISE
WHICH THE PUBLIC FURNISHES.
RUT IT IS A FACT.
Municipal ownership Is not a new
thing In Atlanta. As far back as 1892,
FOURTEEN YEARS AGO, a commit
tee of council ascertained that the city
was paying $55,000 a year for 305 arc
lights and 614 Incandescent lights.
That committee made the following re
commendation:
Urged Municipal Ownership.
"We think $55,000 per annum Is a
large sum to be paid for this service,
and yet the people must have more
light. The question Is how to obtain
the most light and the best service
for the smallest outlay. We think our
successors SHOULD EXAMINE
CAREFULLY WHETHER IT WILL
NOT RE ECONOMY FOR THE CITY
TO OWN AND CONTROL A PLANT
and furnish lights for street purposes
from the same. • • • •
"In conclusion we would state that
wre are Impressed with the conviction
that the city should own Its ELECTRIC
PLANT, nnd we ask our successors to
examine Its feasibility carefully AT
ONCE, so as to HAVE THE WORKS
READY FOR LIGHTING THE CITY
BY THE EXPIRATION OF THE
CONTRACT IN FEBRUARY, 1895.

Norfolk, Va., Sept. 1.—Representative Maynard, in a speech In Ports
mouth last night, said that he wanted a bill passed by congress Increas
ing the president's salary to $100,000. Under the present system, he said,

“Any one who Is against civil ser
vice should not be on the police force,'
said Alderman James L. Key Saturday
at the meeting of the finance commit
tee held In the mayor's parlors. This
as a rojolnder to the remnrk of AldAr-
man Peters, who said: "I am afraid
that this report will cause trouble In
the police board." He was referring
to the recommendatl of the
ployment of 40 extra officers.
The meeting of the finance committee
was one of the spiciest held for some
time. Alderman Key, who throughout
has been the backbone of the civil ser
vice movement, hit a blow while the
antl-civll service people were asleep
and succeeded In carrying out suc
cessfully his coup d’etat.
It was well known thnt the matter
of selecting the new policemen would
be a feature of the appropriation, but
the party which hus up until the pres
ent time fought successfully the civil
service laws, seemed to overlook the
possibility of their opponents scoring a
substantial point.
When Mr. Key suggested the word
ing of the report. It fell ns a bomb
shell around several of the commit
teemen. Mr. Peters then showed fight
and for a time warm words were ex
changed, after which the above report
was drafted, Mr. Peters still objecting.
City Work in Bad Condition.
The opinion that the city work Is In
a deplorable condition because of the
scarcity of labor was freely expressed
at the meeting. The subject arose over
the appropriation for certain * sewers
and pavings. The city officials report
thnt It Is Impossible to get labor, even
at Increased wnges.
Throughout the city there are streets
In condition such ns to require Imme
diate attention. The property owners
are appearing at every meeting of the
finance and the streets committees and
many declare that they are willing to
have the work done at their own ex
pense and let the city pay back later.
Others state that the work Is Impera
tive, but nothing can be done because
of the scarcity of labor.
Piedmont Park "Touched.”
The $5,000 appropriation made foe
Piedmont park Is being steadily de-
reased by outside matters. The strin
gent conditions surrounding the flnanco
of the city, or rather the lack of ready
money until the October apportion
ment Is made out. Is causing this
appropriation to be made a scape-gout
for every purpose.
At the session of the finance com
mittee held Saturday $2,000 was taken
from the appropriation for the Eighth
ard school, so that the grounds may
be graded and In condition ns soon
after school opens as It Is possible. It
was recommended by the committee
that $500 he taken from the appropria
tion to pay wages at Grant park.
cd, there were two sentences at the end
of the ballot. Those sentences were:
• municipal ownership of an electric
lighting plant" nnd "Against the mu
nicipal ownership of an electric light
ing plant."
The little sentence which declared IN
FAVOR OF A MUNICIPAL PLANT
received some 250 more votes than did
the one AGAINST municipal owner
ship. And that was the end of It, ex-
ept for spasmodic agitation.
Waterworks Is Profitable.
The waterworks Is municipally own-
d. It Is not only self-sustaining, but
pays the city a handsome profit every
year. This profit helps to lower the tax
rate. The gas plant was self-sustain
ing In the good old days when the city
ned the gas plant. Those profits
were used to help lower the tax rate.
All the other utilities would be not
only self-sustaining, but would bear
handsome profits. Those profits would
help lower 'the tax rate.
Municipal ownership is going to be
tried In Atlanta. The people want It;
they believe In It. The corporations use
the argument of graft In public office
If municipal ownership and operation
Is tried. It Is 'contended thnt the city
Is Just ns capable of employing honest
officials ns are the corporations. And
contended that the city Is Just as
capable of securing competent men.
Other American cities are doing It.
If those officials become arbitrary or
gouge the people, the people can fire
them out. But under the PRESENT
system the people c’AN’T.
WHAT ARK YOU GOING TO DO
ABOUT IT?
FOR £|E NEGROES
Conductors Arc Said To Be
Keeping Tab on Num
ber of Blacks.
Public sentiment Is working wonders
in the inner circles of the Georgia Rail
way and Electric Lighting Company,
and, If the rumors afloat are as true as
they are pleasing, before long there
will be trailers In which the “colored
gentry" can have full sway.
AH the conductors on the car lines
having a large negro patronage have
received orders to keep tab on the
number of negroes from whom they
collect fare and to report the same to
the office of the street railway com
pany. If the number of negro patrons
warrants, trailers will be put on these
lines.
When called upon Saturday Vice
President Thomas K. Glenn rc fused the
perogatlve of the newspaper man nnd
would not be Interviewed. Mr. Glenn
sent word that he was in session with
several of the other railroad officials
and could not be seen before Monday
morning at 9 o'clock. It Is probable
that this long meeting of the railroad
officials will ‘..ear fruit In the way of
trailers.

GOV. FOLK REFUSES
TO ATTACK JEROME
By Private leaned Wire.
New York, Sept. I.—Governor Folk,
of Missouri, has to be careful here.
There are a lot of people who want him
to say sharp things about District
Attorney Jerome, because Jerome criti
cised Folk when he was sending bood-
lers to Jail.
"I have only the kindliest feeling for
Mr. Jerome." said the governor. "I
like him. I feel very kindly toward .
him. I would not think of saying any- bury, where he received the
thing haAh ubout him, even if I could.'"

Interment. The widow and other rela
tives accompanied the body to Macon.
N. R. Keeling, of Atlanta, who knew
Mct*endon well, says there Is no truth
In the report that he had separated
from his wife.
Mr. McLendon, he says, was a devot
ed husband and father and had always
enjoyed the respect and esteem of
friends And acquaintances. He and
Mrs. McLendon, together with their
children, visited relatives on Woodward
avenue in Atlanta recently, and he then
accompanied them to Macon to visit
