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 Plt- manlc 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 enablo students to accomplish more than Is accomplished at other business schools In the South In the same length of time. Miss Lizzie Baker on August 27, 1906, wrote to the Southern from Athens, Ga.: ‘‘I am stenographer and bookkeeper for Abney Brothers Co., of Athens. I 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 TEH IS NOW WEEKS. 1 shall always remomber and appreciate the valuable training I re ceived under you which enables me to ‘hold down' such a fine position." Btudsnts 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 state have em ployees who wsre trained at the South ern. Professor Ansted, ths traveling representative of the Southern, wrote from Tlfton: "We now have at Tlfton ex-students as follows: J. M. Peeples, with th(Vsu perior court: J. H. Scales, cashier First National Bank: Robert Lankford, as sistant cashier Citizens' Bsnk: Russell Scarborn, with Bank of Tlfton; J. T. Larkin, assistant cashier National Bank of Tlfton, and alt are making fine salaries." Many New Students Arriving From Various Sections. L. F. Johnson 8ay« Hs Accomplished More at tho Southern in One Month Than at Another in "Wires. To the Southern they go from every section of the South. v A large number have already entered, but the coming week promises to eclipse all others In point of matricu lates. The weather Is now getting' pleas ant, and the Southern Is going to be ths liveliest place about theee parts before September closes. McAllister's record, Johnson's record, Miss Baker's record, Strauis' 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 resalts. One Month Against Three. Mr. L. F. Johnson, with the Chatta nooga Car and Foundry Co., Chatta nooga'. Tenn., w|lte»: "I derived more actual benefit during one month at the Southern than In three months spent at another college. 2,700 Against 300. There are 3,090 schools and collcg^ in the United States and Canada teach ing various systems of shorthand, 3,700 of which use the Graham and other Pltmanlc systems. The Southern teaches Graham, the best of the Plt- inantc systems. 67 Typewriting Msehinee. The Southern owns and operates 67 typewriting machines, thereby ensbllng Its pupils to become more prollclenl than pupils of schools where only IS or 00 machines are used.

I SWELL CROOKS IN AUTO VICTIMIZE CHICAGO BANKS WITH MANY FORGED CHECKS All Mattel’s Have Been Set tled Amicably, It Is Said. The Jordan-Frank matter was ar- nnfed amicably Friday afternoon, and the suit for 32,000 damages against Frank and the New Orleans Bassball Association has been withdrawn. A meeting was held Friday between Attorneys Kilpatrick & Moore for Jor-_ dan and Charles T. Hopkins for Frank,' at which the matter was settled. The attorneys made this statement: •It wan discovered that many mutual misunderstandings existed. These were s<w>n corrected and the entire con troversy adjusted to the perfect satis faction of all Interests Involved. The spirit that prevailed was to make eettiement In the Interest of the sport for the future, In the South. •'Alt charges, counter charges and iftfgatlnn were mutually dismissed. This Involves all ctvll suits, accusations before the Southern League, etc. Mr. Jordan will not be required to return to New Orleans." Chicago, Sept. 14.—Five alleged forg ers, who used an automobile to create an Impression on bankers and there by obtained at least 310,000, are today In the Harrison street police station, having been arrested while riding In the machine. U Is 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 a 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 tho money was quickly forthcoming. In several casee, whenthe swindler was questioned, one of hlatompanlons would Identify him. It Is amazing the ease with which the gang secured money on these forgeries. At one bank they secured 3600. The men are said to have spent money lavishly and In their set were looked upon as millionaires. The police refuse to give any Information.

One good reason for this .continued popularity Is the critical supervision that Mr. Mitchell exercises over the performances. Nothing escapes his scrutiny, anil whenever he sees an opportunity to enliven a scene he loses no time In Improving It. The unflag ging vivacity that really deserves to be called enthusiasm, with which he enacts the title part. Is really conlav glous, for It Incites the members of his company to put forth their best efforts, and as a natural consequence dull mo ments are conspicuous for their ab sence from the performance.

Maier & Berkele Thro’ the Rye," will quite likely carry off this season's honor* for productions of that class, at the Grand Monday and Tuesday. The score, which was composed by A. Baldwin Sloane, Is exceptionally tuneful, nnd possesses an originality which Is quite unknown nowadays. Every number Is a succession of dainty melodies, which Insist upon being whis tled. Mr. Hobart has supplied a cleverly written comedy, containing what most musical comedies do not—a plot. The lines are bright nnd sparkle with clean- cut, wholesome wit of the newest up- to-date pattern. The plot Is tangible nnd for once It Is carried throughout the play. The story treats of the ad ventures of a tailor, who Is contin ually getting Into trouble while search ing for his runaway daughter, who having become dissatisfied with her home life, goes to Newport to make her own career. The many Complica tions which arise arc funny enough to keep the audience in a gale of laugh ter. “A Wife’s 8seret."
