Although saloons were open during
the day and hundreds of men wero
traversing the streets with nothing to
do but drink, had they desired, there
was practically no drunkenness and
very little disturbance noticed any
where, either In the city or the county.
Chief Turner, of the county police,
stated Saturday that Memorial Day
Friday was the quietest ho has ever
seen.
"I was out through the county
Friday morning,'' said tha chief, "but

town on the cars last night, and Instead
of the usual boisterous crowd which
you see on holidays, everybody was as
quiet s* If the day had been Sunday.'

The Graham SyRtem of Shorthand,
besides being the most scientific and
philosophical system In existence, und
being capable of the highest rate of
speed, ts also capable of producing
shorthand, writers within a shorter
period than any other system known
to the world. We produce below a
partial list of Graham students who
studied (it the "Southern,” and who ac
cented positions at the expiration of
th* time Indicated. We could add hun
dreds to this list. At the same time,
we would not create the Impression
upon the minds of the public that all
students make these remarkable rec
ord*. A system worth learning should
be thoroughly mastered, so as to reach
the highest demands of the business
and reporting world. To do tills re
quires time end close application. It
Is because of tho Southern's Insistence
upon a thorough knowledge of the prln

To show the popularity of the Gra- I
ham system, according to authentic re-1
port, of the 860 official court reporters
of the United States, 330 use the Gra-!
ham system, which Is mors than tho
combined number using Isaac Pittman, j
Ben Pittman and tho Munson system*,
and more than those using all the other
remaining systems combined. It Is be- .
cause of the capacity of tho Graham J
to meet the highest demands of court |
reporting and general reporting that It I
Is adopted by so many.
It Is, therefore, the part of wisdom
for beginners to learn a system otl

MIGHTY GOOD LESSON
• TO LEARN
A man, probably fifty years old now,
In poor health, remarked as he was
making a deposit In Atlanta’s oldest
savings bank, the Georgia Savings
Bank and Trust Company, that If . he
had good health again he could and
would save his money. He confessed
that, like thousands of young men In
Atlanta today, he did not see the ne
cessity of saving while he was young,
strong and healthy. That was the time,
he thought, to have a good time and
to have a good time cost money—In
fact. It cost everything lie made, and
pow when he has nothing but poor
health he Is trying hard to save. Can
the young men of Atlanta learn any
lesson from this man's experience?
Stop and think what you would do If
your earning capacity wa» reduced by
sickness. Think what you are going
to do when yeu get old. Don't keep
your nose to the grindstone all your
life! Start to save now. Amounts as
small a* $1 are received by the Georgia
Savings Bank and Trust Company, and
4 per cent Interest per annum will be
paid and compounded for you. open
every Saturday afternoon from 4 to 4,
In addition to regular morning hours.
