'•I had my think packed to start to
another business college which guaran

lower rate of tuition, but received the
Southern’s catalog on the morning I
was to leave, and after reading It thru.
I at once came on to your school."
That was the statement of a young
man who entered the Southern this
week from Alabama.
“Of quite a large number of firms I
railed upon, all except one Informed
me that their head stenographers were
from the Southern Shorthand and Bus

And that Is Just exactly what the
Southern managers want prospective

AUGUSTA WOMAN WRITES
GRAPHIC STOR Y OF FLOOD
A graphic description of the flood In
Augusta, aa seen by a woman who
suffered with the thousands In the sub
merged city. Is given In a letter to an
Atlanta woman from her sister. At the
request of the recipient, the names are
withheld, but the letter Is given:
Your letter and cheek just received. Thank
you to very mueh. I hare juat coma in from
mrying provision* and bedding to one of
the many families that have lost everything,
and hare a boy aiek with typhoid fever: not
a sheet or pillow ease in the house when I
found them, and only the clothing they had
on when the water reached them. I want to
get thoes and atockinga for th* little girl,
to this money will coma in finely.
The work that has been done to relieve
the tufTerinjr and rlesn th* streets is juat
wonderful. Every day I have been out in my
buggy trying to find those not reported, who
were worthy of help. Yea, all th* papers
tay it true: the ateneh was awful, but now
everything is getting elean. Everybody that
could had their own yards cleaned thoroughly
and disinfected, and those that were too
noor, the city did it for them. Mattresses,
have been furnished all who needed
end to the other. It was divided into sec
tions with relief stations where all conld ap
ply and be investigated. I was appointed
one of the investigators.
My I my! the suffering and ruin I have
seen would make you heart ache. I am so
thankful I had a horae and bnggv. Our
part of tqwn flower Greene) looks almost as
well as usual. The upper parts, and back
streets are fearful, why, the water came
nearly up to the top of the doors. The peo
ple in one-storied houses suffered terribly, of
course. After the water went down the
furniture was covered with nasty, ill-smelling
yellow mud, and it all (the furniture, I
mean), fell to nieces. My wash woman was
not only washed out, but burned out. Every
piece of our clothes was burned. I tell you
that was quite a lost, but when I see what
Others have lost. I am thankful that we are
so well off. I don't know what would have
become of our people if the other cities had
not come to our. rescue so nobly. Everybody
has been grand.

Chairman J. J. Holloway, of th# Georgia

following address:
We, the executive committee of the People'#
partv of Georgia feel that we would he recre-
•nt^Jc^the truat reposed In ua did we not
sound*”# note of warning to th# white voters
of Georgia. ■
There is a very unnatural alignment being
formed in Georgia, which is being promoted
bv some of those who were dissatisfied with
the nomination of Joseph M. Brown, which
threatens white supremaey in Georgia, and
seek* to lessen'Hon. Thomas E. Watson's ma
jority in the November election.
This is not mere guess work upon our piyt.
for the press whirn is giving the principal
support to this scheme, furnishes ample proof
of the truth of these assertions, even if we
had no other.
The fact that an administration which
went into power on the disfranchisement is
sue has ehanged the disfranchisement law
which was to go into effect on adoption in
October, an ns to make it not effective till
1909. admits of no other reasonable con
struction than that it la intended to use the
purchaseable negro vote to trim Mr. Wat
son’s majority.
Nothing is clearer than the fact that ours
Is not only the true Jeffyrsonian porty, but
that It is the white man'* party.
Therefore, we wanf to say to the “old
3 uard.’’ who.have kept the faith thru.many
efeata. to cheer up, because we al
ready know of qiany strong and true men
who are flocking to our standard: men who
have not been with ua heretofore, but who
are now ready to fall in line with us and
help bear the colors which you have so nobly
kept from trailing in. the dust.
Therefore, we appeal to every true Popu
list to proceed at onre to organise our forces
in every county and every precinct in Geor-

larger church.

dilapidated condition, but which now
BEN E. RICH.
The Latter Day Saints church,
the corner of Woodward*ave. and Con-
r.ally-st . was the scene last night of a
very pleasant social , party, given In
honor of President Ben J5. Rich, who
has presided for ten years over the
Southern States Mission of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
This mission comprises the following
ten states: Ohio, Kentucky. Virginia.
Tennessee. Mississippi, Alabama, Geor
gia. Florida, South Carolina and North
Carolina. Elder Rich hns been trans
ferred to New York, where he will have
charge of the Eastern States Mission.
During the administration of Presi
dent Rich marked progress has been
made, extending "Mormonlsm," so-
called. throughout the Southland. At
the reception last evening the follow
ing summary, showing the work that
has been done during the last decade,

Bibles sold 50.000
Books of Mormon sold .. .. 25,000
other doctrinal works .. .. .. 390.000
Gospel tract* distributed .. . .1.500.000
Baptisms 0.800
The present membership of the "Mor
mon" church In the South Is estimated
at 15.000.
The program rendered at the party
ns varied end highly entertaining. It
consisted of piano solos, vocal solos,
quartets and appropriate recitations.
These numbers were Interspersed with
addresses eulogistic of President Rich.
The recitation* showed considerable
elocutionary ability, nnd the musical
numbers, both vocal and Instrumental,
evinced talent of a high order. Those
who are familiar with the "Mormon"
people know that they have n deep love
for music: that they cultivate this art.
and that It forma an Important par? of
their regular service. A prominent fea-
tute of the evening's entertainment was
the presentation of a beautiful d'amond
scarf pin to Elder Rich as a token of
esteem and affection from his co-labor
er*: in the mission.
The little chapel was most tastefully
decorated. The eQtfre front of the room

hack of the pulpit, hung a large por
trait of the honored guest. The ros

ers and potted plants, which formed a
beautiful background.
The congregation was so large that It
overtaxed the seating capacity of the
church, which necessitated the placing
of chairs In the aisles In order that all
might be seated. Refreshment* were
served In the parsonage, at the close j
of the program, by Mr*. C. E. Dun- i
