PROFESSOR W. E. GARVEY.
BAGWELL'S COLLEGE
HAS NEW TEACHER
Not content with being rated one of
the foremost business colleges In the
country. Bagwell's Business College is
constantly seeking to add to the ef
ficiency and general merit of the school.
In securing Mr. W. K. Garvey as
principal of the bookkeeping depart
ment of Bagwell’s, guarantee is offered
that this department will be second to
none In the union. Mr. Garvey comes
from Bliss Business College, of Colum
bus, Ohio, which is one of the largest
and most expensively equipped busi
ness colleges in the country.
He is a native of Canada. His ca
reer as a teacher began with the For
est City Business College, of London,
Ontario, where his thoroughness and
capabilities made themselves felt. He
also taught in the Brltish-Arr.erican
Business College In Toronto, said to bo
the largest commercial school on the
continent.
When he went to the Bliss College
his reputation was then securely estab
lished as fine of the foremost Instruc
tors in that educational line In the
country. It was only by repeated ef
fort and the most flattering offers -taut
lie could be finally Induced to sever
his connections In Columbus and come
to Atlanta.
Mr. Garvey is familiar with all the
lending systems of business practice,
and his love and natural ability for
teaching makes of him a most valuable
man. Bagwell’s is to he congttulatcd
on securing him.
FINE SILVER SERVICE
MAY BE PRESENTED
BATTLESHIP GEORGIA
Mayor Herman Myers, of Savannah,
came to Atlanta Monday to consult
with Governor Terrell in reference io
the proposition to raise funds for a
silver service for the battleship Geor
gia In the event it comes to Savannah
oh February 22.
Two propositions have been made,
either to bring the Georgia to Savan
nah on the date named or to Hampton
Roads on Georgia day at the James
town exposition. The final determina
tion in this matter depends largely on
the wishes of the people.
No definite com lusion was reached
In the conference between Mayor My
ers and the governor, blit the matter
will bo taken up again In a short tlmo
for settlement. If the battleship comes
to Savannah It will have to anch >r
some two or three miles off Tybee, and
In this event Savannah people will
have to ai range to transport the people
who may v ant to s.-e the Georgia.
C »\trnor Terrell said that if it was
derided to bring the vessel to Georgia
water* a silver service would certainly
be presented to it. The funds will be
raised by popular subscription.

WHO SLA VEDFOR HIS MUSIC A L ED UCA TION
Stung by the criticism of the
press, Alexander Petschsukoff, the
famous Russian violinist, shown in

pented and decided to take care of
his aged mother, of whom he was
ashamed and whom he refused to
see at Carnegie hall at one of his
concerts. On the left Is a picture of
his mother; in the center a sketch
showing her picking up wood In the

WANTS HUSBAND FREED
MAYOR HANDS ROAST
TO DR, BROUGHTON
Continued from Pago One.
for Broughton’s dirty harangue ns I do
It is not the first time he has used his
pulpit for such purposes. There Is
hardly a department of the city gov
ernment that has not come under his
criticism. His regular Sunday night
"preludes” have been filled with them
for years. Ho has to have something
of that kind to draw a crowd. You
often hear expressions from people
that they ore going to Broughton’s
circus or vaudeville. It is human na
ture for people to go to hear some
fellow Jump on another. Just as It Is
to go to on exhibition where the risk or
danger to human life is great. That
same morbid desire draws thousands
to hear Broughton. The religious side
of the questlqn never enters their
minds. This does not apply, of course, i r j K ht.
with him I am not doing so from the
standpoint df his being a minister, but
from the standpoint of his being a sen
sational. falsifying blackguard. The
following Is the quotation to which I
refer:
" ’Everybody knows his record on that
line. He has never been known, so far
as I know, to do any pther than cast
his lot with the whisky element of the
city. This, no one will deny. When
matters have come up that furnished
him a chance to favor them he has
never failed to do It. 1 am not sur
prised, therefore, at what he did; I
would have been surprised If he had
done otherwise.'

every word In the above quotation Is
false. I have never favored the whisky

"Assailed Everything."
“It will be remembered that only n
short time ngo Broughton Jumped on
the council for ft lot of grafters, men
who had no other occupation than
holding a position in the city council at
$23 per month. It will also be remem
bered that he was called upon to ex-
pluln his accusation and how he had t»
take water. This has been his custom
in the past and that without any re-
gard for the truth. He hoa assailed
nearly everything and nearly every
body. The Jew and Gentile, ('at hoi I?
and German, the stenographer—noth
ing seems to be exempt from the
slanders of his dirty tongue. The best
element nt the preachers here have no
use for him and his methods. The
statement that the action of the gen

While thousands of others are pre
paring to take a holiday Christmas and
are now buying the last of the pres
ents, Secretary Logan and the staff (n
his office at the Associated Charities
are wording overtime with no rest or
holiday in sight.
In addition to Christmas the cold
weather has Increased the number of
calls upon the organization for help,
and as a result everybody Is working
hard with a slim chance of getting a
rest for several days to come.
From the time the office opened Mon
day morning until after noon there wag
a stream of applicants going In and
out of the office, and of these man/
were really deserving. Some, of course,
were fakes taking advantage of the
generous feeling people have around
Christmas time to do a little pan
handling.
Of the number one was a young girl
out of a Job because of sickness and
without friends or money. Sho wanted
to go home to her folks In Tennessee,
and she will leave Monday afternoon.
There has been a large number of
Inquiries made at the office by charit
ably-inclined people for names of de
serving families. Names have been
furnished by Secretary Logan and as a
result many a poor and deserving At
lanta family will be happy on Christ
mas day when nothing was expected.
Secretary -Logan expects the rush of
the needy to his office for help to con
tinue until after the cold weather dis
appears.
