Ferguson, for the past two years professor of business science at the North Georgia Agri cultural College, will be at the head of the business department of Bagwell's Business College and School of Short hand, 198 Peachtree street, Atlanta. Professor Ferguson Is a Virginian by birth. He received his education at the State Normal School, Athens, W. Vo.; the University of Kentucky, the North Indiana Normal College, Valparaiso, Ind. He also holds certificates from the Phonographic Institute, Cincinnati, O.; the Gregg School of Shorthand, Chi cago; the Scott-Brown School of Com merce* New York, and the Zanerian Art Col!e*e; Columbus, Ohio, the lending school of penmanship In,America., He can teach and write the Pitman, Gra ham, Munson. Gregg and Chartier sys tems of shorthand. Professor Ferguson Is an expert ac countant, penman and shorthand writer, and has a wide and successful experience ns a commercial teacher. Hq has taught In a number of the leading commercial schools of the North. For the past two years he has had charge of th$ department of business science at the North Georgia Agricultural Col lege, Dahlonega, Qa. He brings with him the most unqualified indorsement of the entire faculty as the strongest the N. G. A. C., and as a man of char acter and a high degree of proficiency. During his connection with that Insti tution the standard of work In his de partment was steadily raised In thor oughness and efficiency and the enroll ment greatly increased. He was paid the highest salary ever received by a commercial teacher at the N. O. A. C., and was offered the position In 1900 and 1907 with a substantial Increase In •alary. Mrs. Ferguson, who has also been em ployed as a teacher of Bagwell Busings College, Is a specialist in typewriting as well as a successful teacher of shorthand.

Bagwell’s Business College is to be congratulated upon securing the ser vices of Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson. .With these additions to the faculty the school has more teachers In proportlqn to the number of students enrolled than any other school in the city. In the ability and efficiency of Its teachers, and In tho quality of Instruction given, the school stands In the Very front rank of tho best business colleges of the country. The Survival of the Fittest. In speaking of the rapid growth and popularity of Bagwell’s Business Col lege, Mr. Bagwell, the president, says: attribute the success of the school to the fact that It depends upon the In trinsic worth and merit of the work 1 Is able to do. The law of tho survival of the fittest Is as unvarying as the law of gravitation. Progress Is the order of the day and the school that holds to antiquated systems of short hand and bookkeeping ahd depends-for its success upon Its ability to advertise cannot hope' for permanent success. Cheap, incompetent teachers, and ir responsible promises have been tho bane of business colleges. We bellevd that there Is u great need for high class business colleges In the South and we arc endeavoring to place at the service of our patrons the best teachipg talent, the latest and most practical systems and the most complete equipment to bo hnd regardless of cost. “We save tlmo and money for the. student.

We get results."* tain Paimour. and. ns will be seen v? Adjutant Smith's letter, an example Is to be made of tho offender*. Demand for Arrest Adjutant Smith's demand for their arrest Is as follows: Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 28, 1906. Captain Henry Jennings, Chief of Po lice, Atlanta, Ga. Sir: I have the honor to cqjl your attention to the fact that last night at 9:45 o’clock on South Pryor street, near East Hunter street, the drill of the Third batallon of,lho Fifth regiment Infantry, National Guard of Georgia, was seriously Interfered with by In spector F. E. Hoffman and Motorman J. S. Lowe. These men were upon car No. 207 of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company, and sought Inten tionally to run down a number of sol diers who were In the discharge.of their duty at regular drill. The car actually ran into and struck and Injured a num-. ber of men. Captain Paimour 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 tho troops dtd not have the right of way, there was no excuse for these street car men delib erately running into and Injuring them I beg, therefore, to ask that you make cases of disorderly conduct against the two men In question add 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 moiormnn and inspector “The commanding officer, 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 camp 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 troops, or shall disturb or prevent the passage of troops going to or returning from SOLDIERS' ROME MEET ON SEPT. 10 On Union There Is Strength! 1 Joint Legislative Commit tee Will Probe Charges. otherwise, any officer or soldier while on duty or going to or returning from duty.” This action above waa taken after Captains Catron and Paimour Had con sulted with Colonel Clifford Anderson, AIIUCIDUII, iPSMWHRSW. ■Stment, and Adjutant Burton Smith, ' ‘ * battalion, The state military has tho right of way when performing maneuvers over any street or highway, anordlng to under arrest. They refrained from fil ing ao only to avoid Increasing toe alarm of the lady passengers; some were already nearly hysterical. I am advised by Captain Catron and Captnln Paimour 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 the|r 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 SMim Captain and Adjutant. Law tn the Cats.

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 $17,500 last April to complete the payments 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 had to wait until the legislature met before receiving their money. The.; a proposition was submitted to Governor Terrell to loan him $17,500 to complete the payments. The only condition was 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. CHARGED*WITH SHOOTING ANOTHER NEGRO DEAD. Bpecial to The Georgian. Chattanooga.
