BOY BADLY BURNED

The friends of Mr. Nathan D. Mas
will regret to learn of the unfortunato
accident to his littlo acvon-year-old
son, Nathan, Jr., yesterday morning.'
Among the many things wished for
and longed for by tho boys this'Christ-
mas were tho Indian suits, and to
many of them such a suit was tho
most acceptable thing that Santa
.Claus could have brought them. Young
Nathan was wearing his suit yester
day morning wliilo at play about the
corner of Second and Walnut streets,
when a firecracker set flro to his coat.
Instantly he dropped on the ground
ana began to roll that he might
smother tho flames, but failing In this,
and finding fhat his trousers had a?so
caught fire, started to run hoineward.
With raro presence of mind for a
hoy young Holllngcr Andrews drew off
Young May’s coat and threw It around
him, and in this way succeeded In
extinguishing the flames. Carried to
his home, It was found that ho was
badly burned about the legs and arms.
He was given every attention, and
while tho bums aro exceedingly pain
ful, it la not thought that they are
In any way serious.

MOST GLOWING TRIBUTE EVER PAID
TO AN AMERICAN BUSINESS COLLEGE
In the big advertisement appearing
on tho fourth page, second section o?
Tho Telegraph this morning Ig a won
derfully Interesting story of the
achievements of the Georgla-Alabamu
Business College of Macon for the
year Just closed.
In tho course of a set of resolutions
which the students prepared and pre
sented to tho college management
through a committee, appeared tho
following sentence: “Wo wish to put
the public on notice that If. the gen
tlemen now at the head of the college
aro spared for a few yearg longer,
the business public In every nart of
tho south will know and understand
that what has heretofore seemed im
possible in business education has
been accomplished by tho Georgla-
Alabama Business College, and that
aipong the cducutlonal Institutions of
this country none will bo deemed mere
Important.”
Another, striking clause Is: "Wo
consider ourselves exceedingly fortu
nate In having found a business col
lege that has for Its object tho educa
tion of thp student rather than tho
gathering of riches."
Elsewhere appears this: “In pre
senting these resolutions for engross
ment on tho minutes of' the college;
wo do so as a happy and delighted
body of students, who feel thnt if
ono of our number falls to get a
thorough business education here thcro
Is no necessity for trying clsowhcro
In America.”
The resolutions also say: “We pledge
ourselves io show In every possible
way our appreciation by living up as
nearly as we can to the high stand
ards that have been raised for our
guidance.”
The advertisement ahowg that the
praise which the public Is bestowing
upon the Institution (s confined to no
set.or class of people. Employers are
as * enthusiastic as the students, and
the students arc as delighted as theli
parents.
ALARMS GALORE

6hadow of'Smoke on Roof Causes Run of
Department—All the Loses Small.
Five Runs in the Day.
The flro department had 6ve runs ‘in
the day time yesterday.
The first was a telephone alarm at
3:55 a. m., coming from OflMMbrpl ntvvet.
This was tho kitchen of th* residence of
Mr. Louis HHji-11*-, SIS OgteJiorp*. and
t!in Are Is supposed to have been caused
1-y a firecracker, or other fireworks, as
these were plentiful In that section of
itie city up to a Ists hour.
The flouring and roof of the kitchen
was hurtles!, but tho firemen succeeded
In previ-nifng tin. spread of ths flames to
tha dwelling.

•One fact which has attracted at
tention everywhere Is the great per
centage of students who have enrolled
Iff tho .college fropr Mdcon. During
tho past year, tho college register
shows that Macon people have fur
nished about one-third of tho attend
ance, and Georgia has furnished as
much as North Carolina, Houth Caro
lina, Florida, Alabama, * Mississippi,
Virginia and -Texas. Students aro
enrolled . from ,towns and cities in
which there are two or moro business
colleges bidding for their patronage.
Ono who wntcheg tho throngs going
and coming from tho college for tho
various sessions each day, aro Im
pressed with tho fact that n finer body
of young peoplo were nover seen In
any school. They consist mostly of
school teachers who desire to chnngo
their vocation and enter the business
field; some afro college bred young
men and young ladles, who rocognizo
the importance of a commercial train
ing for beginning their business ca
reers; and others are young inon and
young women who wore not ablo to
•complete their literary education. And
found from experience that tho busi
ness college affords the shortest cut
for the kind of education that enablsl
one to mako a showing in the business
world.
Tho Instruction in tho college Is
given by men who havo had excep
tional opportunities to learn the
thlngB that they profess to teach, and
It Is their work which Is attracting
so much attention throughout the coun
try. It Is tbUi kind of Instruction
that makes the college stand out con
spicuously and draw business from
every section of (he south. Students
realize that they can got similar
training nowhere else.
The advertisement Is well .worth
reading, because It shows that Macon
leads every other city In educational
advantages.
