The Survival of the Fitteit. In speaking of the rapid growth and popularity of Bagwell’s Business Col lege, Mr. Bagwell, the president, says; "I attribute the success of the school to the fact that It depends upon the In trinslc worth and merit of the work It Is able to do. The law of the survival of the fittest Is as unvarying os the law of gravitation. Progress Is the order of the day and the school that holds to antiquated systems of ' hand nnd bookkeeping and depe Its success upon Its ability to advertise cannot hope for permanent success. Cheap, incompetent teachers, and Ir responsible promises have been the bane of business colleges. We believe that there Is a great need for high class business colleges In the South and we are endeavoring to place at tho service of our patrons the best teaching talent, the latest and most practical systems and the most complete equipment to be hod regardless of cost. "We save time and money for the- student. We give S business training that (Its for business In little ovei HALF THE TIME usually required Our Interest in the student does not cease as soon as he has paid his tui tion. We get results." The street car men will have to face the recorder for obstructing tho mili tary Monday night while drilling on Pryor street. Tuesday afternoon Captain nnd Ad jutant Burton Smith addressed a let ter to Chief Jennings requesting the arrest of t|jo Inspector and motorman who ore declared to have deliberately run .a car Into the Third battalion while drilling In front of the court house annex Monday night at 9:46 o’clock. This is the second time tho street car men have Interfered with the state troops in their drills, according to Cap tain Palmour, and. ns will bo seen by Adjutant Smith’s letter, an example is to be made of the offenders. -Demand for Arrest. Adjutnnt Smith’s demand for their arrest Is as follows: u. Aug. If. If Po. ce, Atlanta. Ga. Sir: I have the honor to cr.H your attention to the fact that lost night nt 9:45 o'clock on South Pryor street, near East Hunter street, the drill of the Third batalfon of the Fifth regiment Infantry, Natlonnl Guard of Georgia, was seriously Interfered with by In- spe.-tni- !-\ 1-;. Hoffman mid Motonnun J. S. Lowe. These men were upon car No. 207 of the fleorgln Railway and Electric Company, nnd sought Inten tlonally to run down a number of sol diers who were In the dlsrhnrge of their duty at regular drill. The-car actually ran Into and struck and Injured a num ber of men. Captain Palmour was in command of the battalion at the time. Captain Catron, his senior In rank, came upon the scene a moment after and took command. The troops clearly had the right of way, but even If the troops did not hnve the right of way, there was no excuse for these street car men delib erately running Into and Injuring them, ‘ beg, therefore, to ask that you make cases of disorderly conduct against the two men in question and have them arrested. Please advise me when the cases are set and I will be present with the witnesses. Under the law, the officers In com mand of the troops had a perfect right to place the motorman and lnepeetor under arrest. They refrained from lng so only to avoid Increasing tue alarm of the lady passengers; some were already nearly hysterical. I am advised by Captain Catron and Captain Palmour that the language of the motorman and inspector was most offensive, and that instead of seeming to regret their outrageous misconduct, they boldly persisted In their effort to run down and run over the troops. We desire to make an example which will prevent a repetition of such con duct. Respectfully, BURTON SMITJH, Captain and Adjutant. Law In the Csss. Adjutant Smith le proceeding under section 82 of the revlied military code, as follows: ’’The commanding offlc-rr, upon any occasion of duty, or his duly author ised representative, may place In ar rest during the continuance thereof and deliver to the proper civil authori ties, with charges In writing after re lief from such duty, any person who shall, after due warning, trespass upon the enmp ground, parade ground, armory or other place devoted to such duty, or shall In any way or manner interrupt or molest the orderly dis charge of duty by such troons, or shall disturb or prevent the passage of troops going to or returning from any duty, or shall Insult, by Jeer or otherwise, uny officer or soldier while on duty or going to or returning from duty." This action nbove was taken after Captnlns Catron and Palmour had con suited with Colonel Clifford Anderson, of the Fifth Georgia regimen Adjutant Burton Smith, or the Third battalion. The state military has the rliHit of way when performing maneuvers over any street or highway, according to section 89 of the revised military code of Georgia, which reads ns follows: The United States forces or troops or any portion of the Georgia military forces, being assembled for any pur pose. or performing any duty s lng to law. shall have tho right , In any street or highway through which they may pass, provided that the ear ring* of the United States mnlls. the legitimate functions of the police and the progress and operation of fire en gines nnd lire departments shall not be unnecessarily interfered with thereby," Captain Palmour Talks. ■ In speaking of the matter Tuesday, Captain Palmour sold: ' “In the earlier portion of the evening Captain L F. Catron was III chnrge of the battalion. After drilling It for a while, he turned the companies over to me, four In number, the number necessary to form a battalion. I saw the ear coming ahead and gave the command, so that the track* would be clerrtdd. Four companies, you know, take up a good space. The first com pany cleared the car, the second being barely missed and the third. Company A, woa run Into, four or five men being hit. The glass In front of tho car was then smashed, one of our men having his hand cut by a piece of the flying glass, which was dressed by a physician," Captain Palmour stopped the car and threatened to have tho street car men arrested then nnd there. Instend, however, he secured their names nnd let the car go on. Captain Palmour further said that Inspector F. E. Hel per wns on the front ql.itform right beside the motorman. J. 8. Lowe, nnd seemed to be directing the motorman to go ahead. Several of his men, he said, will testify that the motorman, instead nf attempting to stop, slightly Increased the speed of the cer, hence, the compact with the third company in line.

English China The present vogue for English China Is amply met In our charming collec tion Dinner and Tea services, sets of plates, odd pieces—all In patterns of most artistic type. Maier & Berkele It Is stated upon very good authority that Colonel James M. Smith, of Ogle thorpe, recent candidate for governor, advanced to the state 817,800 last April to complete the payments to Confederate pensioners. The fund for pensioners was ex hausted before Greene and Clarke coun ties were paid, and It became neces sary to suspend payment. A large number of pensioners would have half to wait until the legislature met before receiving their money. Then a proposition was submitted to Governor Terrell to loan him 817,500 to complete the payments. The only condition wee that the name of the party should not be divulged. The loan was accepted and the pen sions paid at once. From that day to this no one has ever been able to get the governor to say who the benefactor was. The last legislature paid the sum back. Now it comes from the best author ity that Col. Jim Smith loaned the money. THOUSANDS SEE WOMAN FALL FROM HER BALLOON TO A TERRIBLE DEATH By Private 1.Kited Wire.
