The School and Systems That Take

September 1st!
Notv to the business school!
And to the "Southern," of course, If
the best Is desired!
Over 14,000 have tried It and they
>ay that It Is good enough for them.
And tvhy? Because the quality of In
struction Is the best and enables the
graduates to hold the highest class
positions.
“Did you receive your business edu
cation at the Southern Shorthand and
Business University? If not, I cannot
give you employment."
That was the question propounded by
a prominent business man to an appli
cant for a position, and while this
question Is not put directly to alt ap
plicants for positions, It Is generally
understood that the Southern's stu
dents are more competent, hence are
In greater demand and command bet
ter salaries than students of other
schools. The Southern received 120 re-
quests for bookkeepers and stenog
raphers In 30 days.
The Southern has been under the
same management for seventeen years.
The other business schools In Atlanta
are continually changing hands.
One school says that it has more
teachers In proportion to scholars than
anv other school In Atlanta. We are
told that said school has two or three
teachers.
The Southern has eight!
The Southern owns and operates 69
typewriting machines.
Go around and see the big school,
that's the way to become posted. Now
Is the time to enter. Secure catalogue

DuPONT GUERRY, Preat.
Continued from Page One.
Chief Joyner woke up to a reali
zation that he had won the mayor
alty of the city which he had serv
ed so long and efficiently by
mere eyelash. The folks wanted
something besides personality.
They wanted principle. Goodwin
represented that principle.
Mr. Goodwin followed in the’
footsteps of another young man—
James L. Key. Mr. Key had run
for mayor on a previous occasion.
He said afterwards that the time
for his platform was inopportune.
He-was defeated. He took his de
feat philosophically. He came
back to the people and asked them
to elect him an alderman. One of
the most popular and one of the
strongest men in the city offered
for the same job. But Mr. Key
got it. The people liked his prin
ciples.
How it Can be Dona.
Mr. Key had told the people, and la
telling them to this good day, that
they have' enough -machinery at thb
water-works plant to'equip an electric
lighting plant to be owned by the city.
He la telling the people that the city
Is spending with the Georgia Railway
and Electric Company about 3110,000
annually for lightning the atreets. He
la Insisting that about halt of this
3110,000 could be saved by using the
power out there at the pumping sta
tion. He Is telling the people that
conduits are already under the atreets,
which are owned by the people. These
conduits are being used by the cor
porations. But the city wisely re
served the right to use these conduits.
There Is nothing to prevent the city
from running wires through them.
Mr. Key Is Insisting that the city
might even be in poalUon to string
wires on the poles which are already In
the streets. He Is not quite clear on
this point. But If the city couldn’t, It
would be an easy matter to put up a
few poles for herself; that Is, If the
Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany refused to sell the poles already
up, preferring to decorate the street
corners. Of course the company likes
to decorate street corners, both with
light and poles—for a consideration.
Furnish Light to Individuals.
Then the people might be benefited
In their homes. After the streets were
lighted the city could go ahead nnd
furnish light for residences. It might
mean an enlargement of the plant, but
that would be easy. There are several
reasons why the cltixen would rather
deal with ifs employees than with a
private corporation—that Is, aside from
the financial gain. Arbitrary Is a
strong word, but It la the only one tp
be used in this connection. Here are a
couple of examples:
Ralph Van Landlngham Is the pro
prletor of the Majestic hotel. A lot of
eople know Mr. Van. Landlngham.
hey know him to be a reasonable
business man. Everybody knows the
Majestic hotel. They know It to be a
very excellent hotel. It has electric
lights. Formerly this electricity was
supplied by the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company; but not any more.
Mr. Van Landlngham's contract was
about to expire. The Georgia Railway
and Electric Company people wanted
him to renew for a longer time than
he had a lease on the Majestic hotel.
Very naturally he refused. They told
him they would gtve him five minutes
to decide. He decided In one minute—
NOT TO SIGN THE CONTRACT.
And Off Went the Light.
That was at seven minutes to
clock. Just at the dinner hour. The
women were In their rooms dressing.
Three of them were using curling
tongs. Some of the men were shaving;
others were trying to knot ties correct
ly. At six minutes to seven there was
little clicking sound, and out went
the lights. Feminine screams and
masculine something else filled the air.
Mr. Van Landlngham was busy ex
plaining for half an hour. When his
guests learned the reason, they trans
ferred their rage to the Georgia Rail
way and Electric Company. Gas Jets
that, had grown rusty from disuse
were lighted. Candles were dragged
out. And they somehow made out.
Mr. Van Landlngham wax obdurate
about the contract. The Georgia Rail
way and Electric Company people were
obdurate. They owned the gas plant.
Mr. Van Landlngham had to have
light. What was he going to do about
It? He showed them. In a remarkably
short time the Majestic had a private
electric lighting plant. Then the Oeor
the plant. Mr. Van Landlngham didn't
care to sell. He Is using hla private
plant. He owns It.
At Corporation’s Morey,
E. W. Allen & Co. operate a print
ing establishment on Alabama street.
They use a lot of electricity. One day
the meter caught fire from being short
circuited, or the wires getting crossed,
or something like that. The meter was
melted. Application was made for a
new meter so that power might con
tinue to be supplied. The company
was told that Its meter had been
melted by its wires and that E. W.
Allen & Co. was not to blame. The
Georgia Railway and Electric Company
refused to replace the meter until the
old one had been paid for. What are
you going to do about It? was their
attitude. Mr. Allen had to have power,
or shut down hts business, so he paid
for the meter.
There are other instances, AND THE
CITIZENS KNOW IT.
Then there Is the gas plant. If you
decide that you don't like the Georgia
Railway and Electric Company and
are not going to use Its electricity, why
the Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany doesn't care. You will have to
use Its gas. It owns-the gas plant.
What are you going to do about
THAT?
Let City Own Gas Plant.
Mr. Key says you ought to own your
gas plant. So do a lot of other people,
for that matter, but they are not aider-
men, and they can't get up In the
council chamber and throw It In the
teeth of the Georgia' Railway and
Electric Company. Mr. Key can, and
does.
The Georgia Railway and - Electric
Company officials and lawyers claim
they have a perpetual charter for the
gas company. They assert that the
city has absolutely nothing to do with
Its franchise. City Attorney Mayson
has disagreed with them to an extent.
So have other people. But the ignor
ance of the people simply pains the
Georgia Railway and Electricity Com
pany. They assert that the franchise
was granted In 1866. They point out
that the state legislature granted It
and that t|je city of Atlanta, then a
little village, was not taken Into con-
slderaton. They don’t say much about
the fact that this franchise was grant
ed for the manufacture and sale of gas
for ILLUMINATING purposes. They
don't call attention to the fact that
this franchise was granted for the
manufacture and sale of gas for IL
LUMINATING purposes In the CITY
OF ATLANTA AND NOT IN FULTON
COUNTY. The limits of Atlanta were
small in 1*66. They have been ex
tended considerably since that time.
The franchise grant hasn’t been ex
tended BY THE CITY along with the
limits. BUT THE GAS COMPANY
HAS DONE THE EXTENDING.
Liberal Use of Water In Stock.
The Georgia Railway and Electric
Company doesn’t say anything about
the fact that a duplicate of the present
plant could be erected for 3600,000 to
be OPERATED AND OWNED BY
THE CITY. The learned lawyers don’t
tell the people that the present gas
company has stocks and bonds out
standing against It for 32,600,000, and
that IT PAYS HANDSOME DIVI
DENDS ON THAT 32,600,000. Neither
do these learned lawyers tell the people
that FOUR-FIFTHS OF THE VALUE
OF THAT INVESTMENT IS REPRE
SENTED BY THE FRANCHISE
WHICH THE PUBLIC FURNISHES.
BUT IT IS A FACT.
Municipal ownership Is not a new
thing In Atlanta. As far back as 1892,
FOURTEEN YEARS AGO, a commit
tee of council ascertained that the city
was paying 366,000 a year for 806 arc
fights and 614 Incandescent fights.
That committee made the following re
commendation:
Urged Municipal Ownership.
We think 366,000 per annum Is a
large sum to be paid for this service,
and yet the people must have more
fight. The question Is how to obtain
the most light and the best service
for the smallest outlay. We. think our
successors SHOULD EXAMINE
CABEFULLY WHETHER IT WILL
NOT BE ECONOMY FOR THE CITY
TO OWN AND CONTROL A PLANT
and furnish lights for street purposes
from the same. • • *
'In conclusion we would state that
./e are Impressed with the conviction
that the city should own Its ELECTRIC
PLANT, and we ask our successors to
examine Its feasibility carefully AT
ONCE, so as to HAVE THE WORKS
READY FOR LIGHTING THE CITY
BY THE EXPIRATION OF THE
CONTRACT IN FEBRUARY, 1196.

WANTS TO RAISE THE PAY

By Private Leased Wire.
Norfolk, Va., Sept. 1.—Representative Maynard, In a speech In Ports
mouth last night, said that he wanted a bill passed by congress Increas
ing the president’s salary to 3100,000. Under the present system, he said,
of special appropriations the presld ent receives nearly 3360,000 annually.
He thought the 3100,000 enough for all purposes.

"Any one who Is against civil ser
vice should not be on the police force,”
said Alderman James L. Key Saturday
at the meeting of the finance commit
tee held in the mayor's parlors. This
as a rejoinder to the remark of Aider-
man Peters, who said: "I am afraid
that this report wilt cause trouble In
the police board." He was referring
to the recommendatt of the em
ployment of 40 extra officers.
The meeting of the finance committee
was one of the spiciest held for some
time. Alderman Key, who throughout
has been the backbone of the civil ser
vice movement, hit a blow while the
antl-civll service people were asleep
and succeeded In carrying out suc
cessfully his coup d’etat.
It was well known that the matter
of selecting the new policemen would
be a feature of the appropriation, but
the party which has up until the pres
ent time fought successfully the civil
service laws, seemed to overlook the
possibility of their opponents scoring a
substantial point.
When Mr. Key suggested the word
ing of the report, It felt as a bomb
shell around several of the commit
teemen. Mr. Peters then showed fight
and for a time warm words were ex
changed, after which the above report
was drafted, Mr. Peters still objecting.
City Work in Bed Condition.
The opinion that the city work Is In
a deplorable condition because of the
scarcity of labor was freely expressed
at the meeting. The subject arose over
the appropriation for certain aewera
and pavings. The city officials report
that It is Impossible to get labor, even
at Increased wages.
Throughout the city there are streets
In condition such as to require Imme
diate attention. The property owners
are appearing at every meeting of the
finance and the streets committees and
many declare that they are willing to
have the work done at their own ex
pense and let the city pay back later.
Others state that the work Is Impera
tive, but nothing can be done because
of the scarcity of labor.
Piedmont Perk “Touched.”
The 36,000 appropriation made for
Piedmont park |s being steadily de
creased by outside matters. The strin
gent conditions surrounding the finance
of the city, or rather the lack of ready
money until the October apportion
ment Is made nut, Is causing this
appropriation to be made a scape-goat
for every purpose.
At the eesslon of the finance com
mittee held Saturday 32,000 was taken
from the appropriation for the Eighth
ward school, so that the grounds may
be graded and In condition as soon
after school opens as It Is possible. It
was recommended by the committee
that 3600 be taken from the appropria
tion to pay wages at Grant park.
FOB THEJIEGROES
Gonductors Are Said To Be
Keeping Tab on Num
ber of Blacks.
Public sentiment Is working wonders
In the Inner circles of the Georgia Rail
way and Electric Lighting Company,
and, if the rumom afloat are as true as
they are pleasing, before long there
will be trailers in which the "colored
gentry” can have full sway.
All the conductors on the car fines
having a large negro patronage have
received orders to keep tab on the
number of negroes from whom they
collect fare and to report the same to
the office of the street railway com
pany. If the number of negro patrons
warrants, trailers will be put on these
fines.
When called upon Saturday Vice
President Thomas K. Olenn refused the
perogatlve of the newspaper man and
would not be Interviewed. Mr. Olenn
sent word that he was In session with
several of the other railroad officials
and could not be seen before Monday
morning at 9 o'clock. It Is probable
that this long meeting of the railroad
officials wifi Lear fruit In the way of
trailers.

ed. there were two sentences at the end
of the ballot. Those eentencex ware:
"For municipal ownership of an electric

nicipal ownership of Bn electrlo light'

The little sentence which declared IN
FAVOR OF A MUNICIPAL PLANT
received some 250 more votes than did

ship. And that was the end of It, ex
cept for spasmodic agitation.
Water-work! lx Profitable.
The waterworks Is municipally own
ed. It Is hot only self-sustaining, but
pays the city a handaome profit every
year. This profit helps to lower the tax
rate. The gas plant was self-euataln'
Ing In the good old days when the city
owned the gas plant. Those profits
were used to help lower the tax rate.
All the other utilities would be not
only self-sustaining, but would bear
handsome profits. Those profits would
help lower the tax rate.
Municipal ownership la going to be
tried In Atlanta. The people want It;
they believe In It. The corporatlona use
the argument of graft In public office
If municipal ownerahlp and operation
Is tried. It Is contended that the city
la Just as capable of employing honest
officials as are the corporations. And
It Is contended that the city Is just as
capable of securing competent men.
Other American cities are doing It.
If those officials become arbitrary or

R. L. Thomas Also Gets a
Roast From Fos

By Private Leased Wire.
New York, Sept. 1.—Governor Folk,
of Missouri, has to be careful here.
There are a lot of people who want him
to say sharp things about District
Atto aey Jerome, because Jerome criti
cised Folk when he was sending bood-
lers to jail.
"I have only the klndlleet feeling for
Mr. Jerome." said the governor. "I
like him. I feel very kindly toward
him. I would not think of saying any.
R. L. Thomas, of 205 Glenn street
was given a severe roasting by Acting
Recorder Foster Saturday morning and
then sent to the stockade for thirty
days without the option of a fine. He
was accused of beating hla wife.
Mra. Thomas appeared to testify
agalnat her husband and several neigh
bora who had seen the family difficulty
also gave their evidence. It waa shown
that Thomas quarreled with his wife
because a can of potato peelings was
thrown on the floor and knocked her
down, following this by a beating.
Thomas threw himself on the mercy
of the court. Councilman Foster, who
was acting recorder, replied that such
a man had no reason to expect mercy
and ought to be sent to tha chain gang
for a year. He gave tire strongest
sentence he could Impose.

Washington, Sept. 1.—That Miss
Helen Eulalte Puckett, formerly
Georgia, clerk' In the agricultural de
partment, la a graduate of the "Casale
Chadwick school of finance” the police
firmly believe, and In the effort to pro
cure additional evidence of her alleged
operations among Washington business
men In obtaining loans fraudulently
the preliminary hearing In the police
court was deferred until next Tuesday.
Miss Puckett, the police say, has
been positively identified as the woman
who poeed as Mrs. Helen M. J. Boyn
ton, widow of General H. V. Boynton,
last April, when she negotiated a loan
of 31,000 through Henry M. Kingsley,
who was a few days later arrested on
the charge of forgery.
Detective Pratt says she admits that
she Is the woman who gave Mr. Kings
ley a 31.000 forged check on the Amer
ican National Bank. The woman's at
torney, W. E. Ambrose, denies that hla
client made any such confession.
When Miss Puckett was brought Into

to give. The charge filed against her
Is that she did forge a check for
