Only Five Months Preparing. To become a court reporter In live months is something wonderful, yet K Is exnetly what Mr. McAllister ac complished at the Southern, and no Stiver business school has as yet pro- aU jh ,d McAllister writes this about his W "Hawk"nsv1Me, k Ga., Aug. 30 1908. "Southern Shorthand and BUslnesa I'niverslty, Atlanta, Qa. "Gentlemen: On June 1, 1004, I en tered your sohool and remained until °£toW SI, 1904. On December 14, 1004, I was appointed official stenog rapher superior courts, Oconee circuit. "MY FIRST YEAR’S WORK AS STENOGRAPHER PAID ME OVER *2,300. “I have never had any trouble with 2»y 'vorlc, and I believe the GRAHAM SYSTEM of shorthand to be THE BEST SYSTEM WRITTEN and the SOUTHERN SHORTHAND AND BUSINESS UNIVERSITY THE BEST BUSINESS 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 Plt- manlc systems, while such efficiency Is not attained In a lifetime by the new "qutek-essy" 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. Miss Llazle Baker on August 27, 1906, wrote to the Southern from Athens, Ga.t “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 TERM IS WEEKS. I shall always remember and appreciate the valuable training I re ceived under you which enables me to 'hold down’ such a fine position.” Studsnts 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 were trained at tho South ern. Professor Ansted, tho traveling representative of the -Southern, wrote from Tlfton: “Wo 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 Citizens' Bank; Russell Scarboro, with Bank of Tlfton; J. T. Larkin, assistant cashier National Bank of Tlfton, and all are making fine salaries." Many New Students Arriving From Various Sections. L. F. Johnson Says He Accomplished More at the Southern in One Month Than at Anothor in Threo. To tho Sduthern they go from overy section cf the South. 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 the liveliest place about these parts before September closes. MaAlllstrr's record, Johnson's record, Miss Baker's record, Strauis' record and others have aroused the whole I country to the fact that the Southern Is a great school and the place to ac complish practical results. One Month Against Throe. Mr. L. F. Johnson, with the Chatta nooga f'nr and Foundry Co., Chatta- nooga, Tenn., \*Vlten: “I derived more actual benefit during one month at the Southern than In three months spent at another college.” 2,700 Against 300. i There art 3,000 schools and colleges In the United states and Canada teach ing various systems of shorthand, 2,TOO of which use the GraJimn and other Pltmanlc systems. The Southern teaches Graham, the best' of the Plt manlc systems, 07 Typewriting Machines. Tho Southern owns and operates 07 typewriting machines, thereby onsbltng Its pupils to become more proficient than pupils of schools where only 13 or 20 machines are used. Moat schools have from a dozen 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.

One good reason for this continued popularity Is the critical supervision that Mr. Mitchell exercises over the performances. Nothing escapes his scrutiny, and whenever he sees an opportunity to enliven a scene he loses no time In Improving It. The unnag ging vivacity that really deserves to be called enthusiasm, with which he enacts the title part, Is really conta gious. 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.

The lines arc bright and sparkle with clean- cut, wholesome wit of the newest up- to-date pattern. The plot Is tangible and 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.
