What Chance Has a
Ticklish Man Now?
Home for Friendless Officials
Assert That Two Attendants
Lost Their Tempers.
Contrasting widely with the excit
ing stories related by Miss Rachei
l.ane and Miss Ava Rowan o£ the
burglar scare" episode of which they
were the heroines, came statements
to-day from Mrs. Dan Harris, pres
ident of the board of governors of the
Home for the Friendless on High
land Avenue, which the two left
suddenly last night,' and Miss Harriet
Bradner, superintendent of the Home.
That there was no occasion for
Miss Lane and Miss Rowan becom
ing angered and leaving their posi
tions was the opinion of Mrs. Har
ris, who Issued a statement consider
ably at variance with that of the
young women. She scouted the idea
of an investigation.
No Reason for Inquiry.
"I can see no reason for an inves
tigation,” she said. "We already are
in possession of the facts.
"Miss Lane and Miss Rowan have
resigned. That is all there Is to It.
There will be no effort to get them
back. Their places will be filled at
the regular meeting of the board this
noon.
"They were unduly excited when
they thought they saw a burglar last
night. They created a great stir and
were the cause of a preposterous
scare for which there appears to have
been no basis.
Says They Lost Tempers.
"Then they all lost their tempers
when they were advised by the su
perintendent to keep cool. The whole
affair is regrettable.”
Attendants Still Angry.
Miss Lane and Miss Rowan were
indignant when seen to-day. They
maintained they had been in-
- cited by the words and ridicule of
Miss Bradner, who had laughed at
the idea of a burglar, even though
there had been a real burglar Mon
day night. The young women left
the home last night and are at the
residence of Miss Rowan. 695 White
hall Street.
Miss Lane and Miss Rowan went
to the home this morning, but did not
make any charges against Miss Brad
ner to the board of governors, accord
ing to Mrs. Dan Harris, chairman.
"At the meeting of the board this
morning we simply accepted their
resignations and will put other young
ladies in their places." said Mrs. Har
ris. “There was no ‘strike’ as report
ed. They did not appear before the
board or make any complaint, and we
have regarded the incident as a lit
tle matter."

Wrap me up tightly, mother,

There’s down all over each car,
And all that I need, m.v mother,
Is to roll in a bunch of tar!

Society in Griffin
Attacks Theaters and Playing Cards
for Silk Stockings, but De
fends Divorces.
GRIFFIN. GA., April 17.—This aris
tocratic and cultured city is set on
ears by the revival meetings now be
ing conducted by Rev. J. M. Bass, of
Macon, and Rev. O. L. Stapleton, of
Atlanta. Mr. Bass is attracting un
usual attention by his sensatioifal
style of preaching, and such crowds
are hearing him that a cotton ware
house has been obtained as an audi-
j torium.
In his discourse last night Mr. Ba~:s
| said:
“You society sissfes talk about being
shocked at what I say. Yet you same
. sissies can get on a train and go to At
lanta and get before the footlights and
you do not get shocked at what you
see.
“I understand a lot of you Griffin
| women don’t buy silk stockings, but
gamble for them at card parties.
What’s the difference between your
gambling for the silk stocking*? in a
parlor and your husbands gambling
for money with which to buy them in
a gambling den?
"If 1 had the law in my hands. I
would give everybody that wanted it
a divorce and $100 besides; but if they
j tried to marry again I would send
'them to the penitentiary for life.”

to Sell Remedies.
W. S. Elkin, Jr., of the Elkin Drug
: Company, is in Columbia, S. C., to-
day, and this afternoon will deliver
I an address before the State Rexall
meeting on “The Rexall Club and Its
i Purposes.” Air. Elkin is president of
i the Rexall Club of the United Stages,
having been elected at the annual
meeting of the stockholders of the
United Drug Company in St. Louis
last September.
The organization comprises drug
gists all over the United States who
handle the Rexall remedies. The
| presidency is the highest honor In
j the gift of the club.

Atlanta railroad freight offices to
day received notices that the move
ment of freight, tied up by the flood,
Southward irom the important ship
ping points along the Ohio River, in
cluding Cincinnati, has begun, and
that within a week all trains will be
running on schedule time. At the
offices of the Southern it was staled
that more than 200 cars of freight
consigned to Atlanta proper, held at
Cincinnati and other points by the
flood, will be in the local yards within
a week or ten days. Twenty of them
came in yesterday and to-day.
The movement of freight out of
Cincinnati across the Ohio River ! s
slow, but is being hastened as fast as
repairs can be made. Freight is mov
ing out of Louisville and St. Louis for
Southern points, however, on schedule
time.
Statements similar to this were
made at the offices of other railroads
entering Atlanta. It is estimated that
the flood held back about 800 cars of
freight consigned to business houses
in Atlanta and vicinity.
The wholesale grain dealer? say
there is less grain in the city than
there has been for years, and the
shortage, occasioned by inability to
get shipments across the Ohio River,
has caused an advance in price of
from 6 to 8 cents a. bushel.
“In fact,” said J. L. Duncan, of the
Duncan Grain Company, Atlanta deal
ers who have grain can get almost
any price they want to ask for it.
Within a week or ten days, however,
this condition will be improved ana
grain probably will drop.
Wholesale grocery houses say there
has been no advance in the price of
provisions because qf the floods.
“We have had little or no difficulty
in getting our shipments.” paid E. M.
Hudson, of the McCord-Stewart Com
pany, “and there have been no ad
vances in price other than the normal
variations.”

Springtime Brings Young
People From All Parts
of the Country to the
Southern Shorthand and
Business Universitv.
Business education is the present-
day necessity! •
“Can you write shorthand or keep
a set of books?” the applicant for a
position is asked by the business man.
“Where w r ere you taught business?”
is about the second question usually
propounded.
Young man. young woman, think,
and think seriously. Consider well
these two questions.
Young Coleman came to Atlanta
from the North and walked the
streets for three months looking for
a position, but without success. Sev
eral business men, on whom he called,
advised him to take a course in the
Southern Shorthand and Business
University of this city.
He thought: he acted.
The result:
After a three-months' course, the
Southern placed him with a railroad
company as stenographer at $50 per
month to begin. Mr. Coleman was
ambitious, worked to please, and he is
now r drawing a fine salary.
If you want a position, you’ll have
to take a business course sooner or
later; then, why not now?
Don’t postpone longer such an im
portant matter-
“If you have a diploma from the
Southern Business University I will
give you a position,” said a prominent
business man to a young fellow' ap
plying for a job.
The Southern is an old school-
been running 47 years: has a large
faculty; teaches the best known sys
tems of shorthand, bookkeeping, etc.
Plenty of typewriters on which to
practice—seventy-five; think of it!
Its graduates send other students,
and that tells the story of merit.
They keep the school humping.
What better recommendation could
be desired?
It looks business-like at the South
ern.
Then, the jobs come along just as
fast as the busy students can get
ready for them.
That’s one of the things that makes
the Southern the most popular busi
ness school in the South.
Mr. Seymas was another ambitious
young fellow who was living from
"hand to mouth” on a little farm up
in South Carolina. He wanted bet
ter things than his meager income
would supply, but he lacked a Busi
ness Education and was. therefore,
handicapped.
But ‘•where there’s a will there’s a
way.”
So Mr. Se> mas borrowed money
with which to buy his Business Edu
cation. and this was the best move he
