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.

ALBERT PATRICK’S WIFE 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.' ”1 want to Inform Broughton that every word In the above quotation Is false.

"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.

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.
