8. H. ISENBERG, Ph.D.
Prtiident of famous Rowe College,
Johnstown, Pa. In letter to L. W. Ar
nold he gives unqualified indorsement
to Chsrtior Shorthand. 8ays “Chartier
it good common sense.”
How Do You Explain It?
Ragwell Business College was or
ganized at a Jlme when thero were
already five business colleges In Atlan
ta, some of them over 20 years old.
Competition was so keen that two
schools shortly afterward were forced
to tho wall. It was a daring under
taking. Even friends said It could not
succeed.
Hut the founder, knowing that he had
a system of shorthand that was not
only superior to the old-line systems
but one that was so simple and easy
that It could he mastered, in one-hulf
the time, had faith In the undertaking.
Everybody was skeptical, but even In
the face of the bitterest opposition and
most reckless misrepresentation of
competitors, a few were Induced to
take up the new system. They were
astonished at Its simplicity and the
ease with whleh. lt could he'learned.
Almost without exception, they mas
tered the system and were holding good
positions In about half the time pre
viously required. They spread the good
news. Others came with tho same re-
ipnrkablo results.
The opposition of old-line schools be
came more bitter and more relentless
than ever. Rut all In vain, for the
school was proving Its claims for Char-
Tier Shorthand by results that could not
b© gainsaid nor denied. Ite growth
was ■phenomenal. . In two years It had
grown to be one of the largest and
best equipped business colleges In the
South.
How do you explain It?
It Is simply the survival of the fittest
—an everlasting tribute to tha com-
■mon sense of the people who demand
rssulta.

Serious Fighting at Frankfort
Over Election Reform—Will
Chancellor Be Forced
to Resign?
Berlin, F*b. 18.—Hand-to-hand fight
ing between the Social Democrats and
the police at Frankfort-on-the-Maln
marked the riot that began last night
and raged until early this mornihg;
Dispatches received today placed the
number of Injured at least 100.
Chancellor VonBethnutn-Hollweg.
alarmed by the situation today, held
long conference with his advisers, at
which every phase of franchise reform
and the disorders that have been
brought about by the government’!
stand on that subject, were discussed.
The belief Is growing dally that the
chancellor will be swept from power by
this crisis. Only real reform—an alter
ation of the three classes of voters urn!
the complete concession of the secret
ballot, such as Is used In the United
States—can check the ’Socialists, and
such changes would alienate the Con
servatlves from the chancellor.
Details of the fighting at Frankfort
received today show the struggle was
the most bitter and serious of all that
have arisen from the electoral ques
tion. The police were unable to cope
with it and had to call on the troops for
aid.
Women Lead Ricters.
Again and again the police and mili
tary charged the mobs In the face of
Storms of missiles and the blows of
cudgels. Showers of pepper were
hurled In the faces of the troops and
from the tops of buildings manlfcstant*
cast brickbats and everything else they
could lay hands on into the ranks.
The most ferocious fighters of the
radicals were the women. One girl,
waving a red flag, stood at the fore
froht of a gathering of rioters who
fought bark a detachment of police for
half an hour at one of the city's princi
pal corners.
In almost every other gathering
many manlfestants were women. Tho
lights were turned off before the crowd
could be dispersed. Even then Individ
uals llghtnd torches, but these merely
served to attract the attacks of the po
lice to small groups.
Rattling continued in some sections
till dawn.
Wholesale arrests were made after
the disorders and the Jails are crowded.
More than a dozen were Injured. Civil
ians and police. In hospitals, today were
declared to be In a serious condition. It
was declared today that tho govern
ment would forbltl further mass meet
ings of the Socialists. Disorder Is re
ported again from Ncumunstor, Casiel
and other tonus.

UNEARTHED “JOKER”
Found Law Which Nullified
Publicity Feature of Cor
poration Bill.
Washington, Feb. 18<—Charles D.
Norton, first assistant secretary of the
treasury, and Representative Tawney.
chairman of the house appropriation
committee, are the two men who are
responalble fur unearthing the "Joker"
which practically nullifies the public
ity feature of the corporation excise
bill. Representative Tawney called
Attorney General Wlcksrsliam's at
tention to tho law of 1882, containing
a clause denying the right to spend
money under the urgency deficiency
bill by bureaus of the government not
specially provided for by direct ap
propriation In tho District of Columbia
at a bearing at the capitol.
Secretary Norton brought out the
fact that the bill did not provide an
appropriation for clerk hire necessary
In handling corporation returns. As
the cose now stands the internal reve
nue division will handle the returns
without additional clerks.
At the time Philander Chase Knox
was appointed secretary of state by
President Taft, while still United
States senator from Pennsylvania, a
newspaper correspondent discovered n
Haw In the law which compelled his
resignation. The discovery brought de
cided embarrassment ami confusion to
tlir high-priced administration legal
officials and others who were unaware
of thl« Important error In the law.

Caught
Cold!
How often It happens that se
rious Illness, and sometime*
death, is directly traceable to a
common coldl. After it Is too
late, what would we not give to
have checked the cold at the
start, when It would have quick
ly yielded to simple home treat
ment?'
One of the most effective rem
edies for coughs and colds Is
made by mixing two ounces of
Glycerine, a half ounce of Vir
gin OH of Pine compound pure
and eight ounce* of pure Wht*-
lcy. The*e can be bought In any
good drug store s^nd easily mixed
in a largo bottle. It In claimed
by the Leach Chemical Company,
of Cincinnati, who prepare the
genuine Virgin Oil of Pine com
pound pure, that a teaspoonful of
this mixture four time* a day
will break up a cold In twenty-
four hour*, ami cure any cough
that is curable.
Village Is Destroyed With a
Heavy Loss of Life, It Is

quake today shook Crete. A village

ceived here, and the population of the

Meager advice* from Crete declare
that n fault line along tho mountain

The village demolished today was Varl-

10 SPEAK IN CITY
The directors of the Atlanta Cham
ber of Commerce have authorized Pres
ident Fred J. Paxon to extend to James
Bryce, ambassador extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary to tho United
States from Oreat Ilrltlan. a formal
Invitation to visit Atlanta as the guest
of this organization and to address its
members.
This action was taken Thursday at
the regular meeting of the directors.
The directors adopted u resolution In
dorsing Attorney IV. A. IVImblsh for a
judgshtp In the proposed court of
commerce, and resolutions opposing the
corporation tax law enacted by con
gress tn 1909.
The question of the proposed change
In Atlanta time from central to eastern
was discussed. Joseph Orme wanted
the chamber to Indorse the rhange and
Brooks Morgan seconded the motion. It
was finally decided to ask the public
to write the press their views on this
matter and have the question taken
up by the committee of chairmen at its
March meeting.
Valuable Chair*.
One Prosper Alxlary. the keeper of a
coffee house In Ferres, In the valley of
Ksteron. recently bought an old chair
which had formed part of the effects of
the parish priest, who had died, an']
whose movables had been Bold by auc
tion. The ehalr was somewhat dilapi
dated, and the purchaser *et about re
pairing the seat. He came across three'
little packets of gold among the stuf
fing. The money represented about
$135. It seems that the priest, fearing
robber)-, liad hidden away the little
hoard whleh lie iiossessed.
This In not a singular case, for some
months ago on the death of another
priest at Consegudoe*. a neighboring
village, the purchaser of the presbytery
ehalrs found *100 roneealed lu one.—
