MODERN 1
MERCHANDISING AS W1
SEE
IT—AND AS WE PRACTICE IT
Modern merchandising has almost become a new
trade-mark for us.
The brief phrase is bursting with thought, but as we
see it and use it, “Modern Merchandising” locks horns
V
with a great many established and perhaps blindly fol
lowed rules. Under the Banner of “Modern Merchandis
ing” we have aspired to great things.
To build a greater and greater Chamberlin- Johnson-
DuBose Co.
Of course, self-confidence is the badge beneath ev
ery success. But it is the thing above all else that we
must actually feel, not merely assume, to command re
sults.
\
But in this upbuilding we have never once attempted
a single project without measuring it with avowed abil
ity.
Perception tells that it has given our efforts marked
success.
Take, for example, February, March, April, May—
every month of our fiscal year without an exception has
piled up over the corresponding month of 1906 just as
that year ran ahead of 1905.
Months when many stores were satisfied to equal or
run behind.
And why? What magic is there that makes this
store outstrip in growth?
Advertising? Not the sole reason—that would be
impossible, for words are always readier than values,
and easier to build.
Our talk has been equaled many times—but what
the talk stood for is as distinctive still as it was the day
we first set up our own translation of the term “Modern
Merchandising.”
No, it’s deeper than advertising.
It’s having the merchandise. It is taking always an
optimistic view of the situation. By inspiring a spirit of
exhiliaration and buoyancy that pervades every branch
of our great store family, collectively and individually.
Nothing can retard the steady onward swing of such
business, nor warp it from its course.
The increasing of sales each year, each month, each
day becomes at once a pleasure and inspiration for ev
ery one instead of a duty. • .
Then when such a time as this spring comes, we are
ready, the whole organization responds with thought and
energy. - 1 *
The manner in which we have passed April and May
and swing into June reassures us that our idea of modem
merchandising is right.
To speak modestly, we have a large stock carefully
and intelligently complete in every detail.
To this we have just added some large purchases
in many departments; in others some needful and at
tractive things.
Upon other pages we are telling you of some of them.
They give you a chance to measure real merit. To
test and compare real values, not talk.
» Superiority only asserts itself by contrast.

MAY PROBE .SANITY
OF EDW. VANDERBILT
New York,- June li.—The recent

OF NEGRO'S GUILT
"I am aa positive that Will Johnson
la the man who attacked ma as I can
ever bo of anything In this life. He
la either guilty or Innocent. If he I*
guilty there should be no commutation
•of sentence. I had as toon sea him
given his liberty aa to have him com
muted."
That la the view of Mrs. Georgia
Hembree, wife of Richard Hembree,
who was attacked at her home near
Battle Hill on August 16, 1905.
Mrs. Hembree, with her husband,
consulted with the three members of
the prison commission for a long while
Tuesday morning. Johnson, who lias
been convicted of the assault and Is
under sentence of death, waa respited
not long since to June 14. In order that
the commission might have the ad
vantage of every possible fact bearing
on the case.
To the questioning of the commis
sion, Mrs, Hembree expressed abso
lute certainty that Will Johnson was
the man. Rather than see him com
muted to life Imprisonment, she would
prefer to see him given his liberty. The
commlselon has taken the rase under
advisement, but will probably not pass
on It finally until Wednesday, when
Governor Terrell will return from
Jamestown.
STORY KEPT
POLICE BOARD LATE
Members Say “Nothing Do
ing” After Lengthy
Session.
Meeting Postponed.
The meeting of the executive com
mittee on city extension, which was to
have been held Thursday, haa been
postponed until one day next week.
The postponement Is made because
of the absence of several members of
the committee In Jamestown. The ex
ecutive committee has about wound up
Its duties, and It only remains for a re
port to be formulated to the committee
of forty.
JUGULAR VEIN CUT,
NEGRO FALLS DEAD AT GATE.
Special to The Georgian.
Marietta, Ga., June 13.—Will Lock
hart. a mulatto, aged 25 years, was
murdered here at 10 o'clock last night
by unknown parties. He was stabbed
In the neck, the Jugular vein being
severed, but he managed to walk about
two blocks to a doctor's residence,
falling dead Just aa he opened the gate.
A negro woman. Lula Holmes, who was
with him Just before he was stabbed.
Is being held on eusplclon. Lockhart
was a rather bad character, having
served a two years' term In the peni
tentiary.
Although the board of police com
missioners was In secret session Tues
day night from 10 until 12 o'clock, the
commlseloners Insist that nothing of
Importance transpired.
One of the commissioners accounts
for one hour by declaring that this
time was occupied by Captain English
In telling a funny story. A loud and
long laugh was heard to Issue from the
commissioners' room during the little
heart-to-heart conference, and this Is
supposed to have marked the end of
the yarn. It must have been a good
one.
As to the remaining hour no expta
nation la offered. What happened
along about the hour of midnight Is
merely speculative and based on rumor.
It Is known for a fact, however, that
an effort was made by the commission
ers to reach Detective Sergeant Lan
ford and have him before the board
for some purpose. It Is rumored the
board discussed the criticism by de-
tectlves ot the methods employed by
Judge Calhoun, and It la surmised the
head of the detective force was wanted
In order that he might throw some
light on this matter. The commission
ers say this subject was merely men
tioned. At any rate the commission
was anxious to get hold of Sergeant
Lanford. He was not found, however,
before adjournment.
The question of assistant chief was
also touched on. It Is learned, and a
committee appointed to prepare the ex
amination for applicants. The exami
nation will be held on June IT. So far
no applications have been filed.
Nine new men. who recently passed
the civil service examination, were
elected to the force and were sworn
In Wednesday morning. Some other
routine matters were also considered.

TELEGRAPHONE JOBE USED
BY TRAINMEN ON A., B. & A.
Auto Repair Company.
Special to The Georgian.
Columbus, Ga., June 12.—The great
Increase In the number of automobiles
In this city has necessitated the forma
tion of a repair and garage company,
which hds applied for Incorporation In
the aupertnr court, the parties being
W. B. Slade and C. E. Shulue,
Announcement was made Wednes
day morning by Vice President and
General Manager George Dole Wadley
that the entire system of the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic railroad will
shortly be equipped with the tele-
graphone. What has heretofore been
an experiment with two southern
roads, but has worked out on a prac
tical and euccessfu! basis by the larg
est roads of the North and East, will
be put into dally use by the A.. B. and
A., the newest and most progressive
road tn the South.
The telegraphone along the lines of
the A.. B. and A. has already been
completed between LaGrange and
Oglethorpe, a distance of 100 miles.
The train crews and operators are
able not only to send telegraphic mes
sages, but to talk over the wires at the
same time, the one not Interfering with
ihe other. In addition to this every
paseenger and freight train Is equipped
with a telephone nnd can make con
nections with the wires from any place
on the lines. All that is necessary Is to
get out a little pole, very much resem
bling a Jointed fishing road, on the end
of which Is a little hook. This hook
may be hung over the wire, forming
a circuit, so that the members of the
train cr«W can talk to either La-
Grange, Chalybeate, Talbotton or Ogle
thorpe.
Tnla'devtce will be of special advan
tage In caae of accident, or tn case of
anything happening to an engine or
one of the cars. Instead of watting
until a cut-in can be made and a tele
graph Instrument Installed the tele
graphone may be brought out and In
the same length of time that It lakes
to make a city call Ihe shops of the
company can be advised and a relief
train sent speeding on the way. The
device will also prove of great advan
tage to any passengers who have
urgent messages to send.
The only other devices of this kind
In the South Is a small system which
the Southern railway has had Installed
on a section of Its lines In Tennessee,
while the Atlantic Coast Line has also
made the experiment. The larger and
more Important roads of the East have
used the telegraphone for some time
with most satisfactory results.
