McAllister's Record at the Southern Shorthand and Busi ness University the Talk of the Country. biary of $2,500 flrnt year! prettv good fur a business college mmll Just from school. Isn’t it? 'vr W. C. McAllister la the young man Who earned and collected the mon- ami the Southern Shorthand and Business University, of Atlanta, la the Khool that equipped him for hla work. Only Five Months Preparing. To become a court reporter In live months IS something wonderful, yet that Is exactly what Mr. McAllister ac complished at the Southern, and no olher business school has as yet pro duced such a record. Jlr. McAllister writes this about his course nnd work: "Hawklmtvllle, Ga., Aug. 30, 1006, “Southern Shorthand and Business fnlverslty, Atlanta, Ga. •Gentlemen: On June 1, 1304, I en- tered your school and remained until October 31, 1804. On December 14, 1904, 1 was appointed official stenog rapher superior courts, Oconee circuit. t’A RST YEAR’S WORK AS STENOGRAPHER paid me over 32,600. ’’I have never had any trouble with my work, and I believe the GRAHAM SYSTEM of shorthand to be THE §5F,I.,! YSTB “ WRITTEN and the SOUTHERN 8HORTHAND AND BUSINESS UNIVERSITY THE BEST BUSINE8S SCHOOL IN THE SOUTH. With best wishes for the Southern, I am. Yours very truly. "W. C. M’ALLISTER.' The foregoing case Is another one of those exceptional ones, and Is a record breaker, for It usually requires a year or more to become a court reporter with the Graham or any of the Pit- manic systems, while such efficiency Is not attained In a lifetime by the new ■’quick-easy’’ systems. Eight Weeks’ Graduate. The Southern does not advocate short courses, but these exceptions are giv en to show that Its unequaled facilities enable students to accomplish more than Is accomplished at other business schools In the South In the same length of time. Mlsa Lizzie Baker on August 27, 1906, wrote to the Southern from Athens, Ga.:' ’’I am stenographer and bookkeeper for Abney Brothers Co., of Athens. 1 am perfectly delighted with my place and surroundings, am receiving a fine salary and enjoying life Immensely. ’’This Is the girl who finished her course with you last summer in EIGHT THE FILL TERM IS WEEKS. I shall always remember ami appreciate the valuable training I re ceived under you which enables me to ‘hold down’ such a line position." Students In Banks. The bankers want the Southern graduates. Every bank in Atlanta em ploys from one to a dozen and nearly all the banks In the stato have em ployees who were trained at the South ern. Professor Ansted, the traveling representative of the Southern, wrote from Tlfton: “We now have at Tlfton ex-students as follows; J. M. Peeples, with, the su perior court: J. H. Scales, cashier First National Bank; Robert Lankford, as sistant cashier Cltltens’ Bank; Russell Scarboro, with Bank of Tlfton; J. T. Larkin, assistant cashier National Bank of Tlfton, and all are making line salaries.” Many New Students Arriving From Various Sections. • L. F. Johnson Says He Accomplished More at the Southern in One Month Than at Another In Three, To the Southern they go from every section of the South. A large number have already entered, but the coming week promises to eclipse all others |n point of matricu lates. The weather la now getting pleas ant, and the Southern Is going to be the liveliest place ubout these parts before September closes. McAllister’s record, Johnson's record. Miss Baker's record, SI mu is’ record and others have aroused the whole country to the fact that the Southern Is a great school and the place to ac complish practical results. One Month Against Three. Mr. L. F. Johnson, with the Chatta nooga Car and Foundry Co., Chatta nooga Tcnn., writes: ’’1 derived more actual benefit during one month at the Southern than in three months spent at another college, 2,700 Against 300. There are 3,000 ’ schools and colleges In the United States and Canada teach ing various systems of shorthand, 2,ino of which use the Graham and other Pltmnnlc systems. The Southern teaches Graham, the best of the Pit- manic systems. 67 Typewriting Machines. The Southern owns nnd operates 67 typewriting machines, thereby enabling Its pupils to become more proficient than pupils of schools where only 15 or 20 machines are used. Most schools have from a dosen to twenty. Inquire About the Southern. Ask the business men of Atlanta about the Southern; their advice ought to help you decide upon a school, v Cnll or write at once for catalogue. Address, A. C. BRISCOE, President, or L. W.

It la said that the pass ing of forged paper became so easy that the swindlers got reckless, and this led to their arrest. All were styl ishly dressed. They would drive up to bank in a large touring car, and one of their number would enter. He would present a check to the teller, and so perfect was the signature that the money was quickly forthcoming. In several cases, when the swindler was questioned, one of his companions would Identify him. It Is amaslng the ease with which the gang secured money on these forgeries. At one bank they secured $600. The men are said to have spent money lavishly nnd In their set were looked upon as millionaires. The police refuse to give any information. The jury In Judge Andy Calhoun's court was told all about how to cure a row of the hollow tall and things Frl- i»y morning, but the defendant, W. J. Hogan, u Houston street merchant, charged with cheating and swindling, could not convince the gentlemen who were to decide his fate, that he was hot guilty. He denied tho charge, but •be Jury agreed that he had palmed off t light colored, muley cow on J. C. Hamilton ns an animal which would furnish < gallons of milk per day, whereas she was only a ’’3-quart cow.’ A line of ir,0 and costs or eights months was assessed. He took an appeal and *as released on a $150 bona. When the defendant took the stand be didn't have much to say In regard » the terms of the trade, but he told in detail how one time ho had split the row’s tall open and had poured therein salt and pepper and vinegar, etc., and had rubbed the back of her beck with liniment much to the relief “I the bovine aliment. 8<ltcting Site For Postoffiee. werltl to The Georgian.

Baldwin Sloane, Is exceptionally tuneful, and possesses an originality which Is quite unknown nowadays. Every number Is a succession of dainty melodies, which Insist upon being whis tled.
