Eager to prepare for commercial posi tions at the most popular business training school south of Mason and Dixon’s line, young people are not wait ing for September to arrive, but are n<*w entering the Southern Shorthand and Business University, that old and p liable school which teaches the “Gra ham” system of shorthand and “Twen tieth Century" bookkeeping, the best systems in the world. The Graham system makes by far the most compe tent stenographers and the fastest writers. Fifty Positions Open. For the summer, which is generally considered the dull season, the South ern has broken all records; between July 25 and August 8 the managers of the big school received 50 applications from business firms for stenographers and bookkeepers, salaries ranging from HO to $70 per month at the start, and since that time the demand has not abated. Mr. Perry's Nice Position. Mr. Perry, of Dublin, called around at the Southern yesterday to shake hands with his former teachers and to tell them that since leaving school, only a few months ago, he had been pro moted from correspondent In a bank to cashier, and Is doing nicely indeed.

Wanted a Southern Graduate. "Are you a graduate of the South ern?" asked a prominent business man of an applicant who had applied to him for a position the other day. "If not, I cannot employ you, because the stu dents of that school are better qualified than any others.” The applicant walk ed away with a sad heart, for he was hot from the Southern. 19 to 1. Business education is the order of the present day and generation. The other day The Constitution contained 34 advertisements for “Help Wanted,” 19 of which were for those who had received a business college training to fill positions as stenographers, book keepers and office assistants, while the other 15 were for various classes of help, there being no other two adver tisements for any same class of work, thus showing the great and Increasing demand for well-qualified office help.

IS SENTTO HOUSE Four Amendments Attach ed to Wright’s House Bill With four amendments attached, the senate Wednesday morning passed the Wright pure food bill. Passage of the measure followed con siderable debate, and an effort on the part of Senator Bunn to have the bill go over to next session, which Senator Steed opposed in a very strong speech. The first amendment was offered by Senator Bunn, and relates to defining when an article is misbranded. The original bill required labeling an arti cle showing "the quantity or propor tion of any alcohol." It was amended so as to insert after alcohol "which Is in excess of the amount prescribed by the United States pharmacopoeia or the national formulary as a solvent or pre servative." It also amends the same section relative to labeling In conspic uous letters such articles as contain alcohol, morphine, opium, cocaine, heroin, alpha or beta eucaine, chloro form, cannabis indlca, etc. The amend ment requires the label to be as con spicuous as Is required by the United States law. An amendment by Senator Crum ex empts from labeling such goods as are on hand when the bill becomes effect ive. Another amendment by Senator A. O. Blalock fixes the Inspection fee per ton for feed stuffs at 10 cents In stead of 20. All of the amendments were adopted. Senator Steed opposed them, cause, he thought, they would cripple the effectiveness of the measure. He thought particularly that the amend ment relative to the quantity of alco hol would make It possible for patent medicine men to place any quantity of alcohol they might choose In prepa rations. The bill as amended was Immediately transmitted to the house. HON. HOKE SMITH HAS PUT 14 SPEAKERS ON THE ROAD GEORGIA NEWS IN PARAGRAPHS Atlanta Capitaliet Interested. Speclnl to The Georgina.

Verrault, alias Mrs. Helen Hamilton, turned up today. He vUlted Lawyer Hugh Gordon Miller, counsel for the woman, and said he wns a German baron. lie begged to get back a bundle of love letters he had written to Mrs. Hamilton. The baron said he was the real nrtl- cle, but that distinction had not pre vented his arrival In this country pen niless. Needing money, he arranged with a friend of his, a down-town jew eler, to lend hltn $1,000 worth of gems to make an Impression on some fair and rich creature In search of a hus band. He saw a "personal" and an swered It, became acquainted with Mrs. Verrault and gave her the jewels. Now they are gone and he hears he won’t be able to share the big fortune of hers which he was to divide with Ills friend, the jeweler. Also, he Is afraid the jeweler will have him arrested If he does not get back the Jewels. Jam A S. McClellan, the Philadelphia grocer who is out $800, was a sad and broken ninn today. “I guess I wns stung,” he said re morsefully, “but I was lucky after all, for she only got n little out of me. 1 was smart enough to close down on her after I was out $800. When she saw hbw sharp I was in money matters she quit writing to me.” Suddenly a happy thought occurred to the grocer. He smiled gleefully In spite of his sorrow, and said exult- untly: ’You ought to see other fellows—the poor fools. Why, some of them are out $2,200, and I even heard of one fellow' that gave her altogether $6,000.’ AT THE THEATERS ! GOSSIP OF- STATESMEN AND POLITICIANS Senator C. S. Reid and Representa tive H. H. Revlll, of Meriwether, were engaged In a close confab during a session of the senate. Senator Held Is short and rotund. Representative Re vlll Is rotund, but not very short. The gentleman from Meriwether extends far out at the belt line. That whispered conference was mighty funny as viewed by the senate. Senator Reid got kind of a side move ment, tip-toed upw-ard and performed a Grecian bend to get to Mr. Revlll’s ar. Mr. Revlll put Ills feet back as far ns possible without displacing his equipoise, leaned downward gracefully and whispered lovingly Into Senator Reid’s ear. It kept up for five min utes, nnd then they parted, a smile of satisfaction on both faces. Every' member of the house and sen ate found the following In their mall Tuesday: To the Senate nnd House of Repre sentatives: Think not the many tokens kind. Of your sincere regard, refined, These half a hundred days that we Have dally bartered pleasantry, My easy office It has been (Smoothed by your courtesies be tween) To hand to each the letters dear Which made his*day seem bright and clear, Or much with heads of thunder blent, Because of some constituent.

Mrs. Lcdsinger bus been tho very efficient postmistress of the general assembly this session. Senator Candler was In the chair, and he had an unruly body on h!« hands. He rapped for order, begged the members to be seated and pay at tention to the bills under way. It had about the usual effect and then the presiding officer got sarcastic. Senator Hogan's name was called half a dozen times on a bill, but ho was In close conference with some one und didn’t pay any attention. When the bill had about passed, members kept popping up to be re corded. "Mr. President, I want to be recorded on this. I didn’t know' what you were voting on when my name was called,” said Senator Hogan. “The senator has found out what the senate Is doing und wmnts to be re corded ns voting aye," came the re tort.

Perfectly natural. If you don’t know the class of work this label appears upon and the methods that go with it. Hundreds of business men asked "Why This label?" for years—before they had It on their printing. Then they found the answer In cor rectly executed work that stood the test of service, and helped build up trade for them. They have no doubt now. Why should you—when we stand ready to convince you?
