Dear FWher:-l shall uuw prlc I'd
to give you some acJs concerning our
college which will perhaps be Of inter
est to you. The bookkeeping course
OF DraughOn's Business College is
given up as the oest in the South, if
not in the United States.
Other business colleges claim that
noG one bookkeeper in fifty will ever
need to work out some of Draughon's
most difficult sets; as, in ordinary bus.

as they offer seldom ,oout. Since
came here, some students who were
afraid OF work were persuaded to leave
and enter rival school. They were
told that they could complete the
course at the other college before they
could get through at Draughon's and
be earning wages. These fellows NAV
some day realize their mistake to their
sorrow. have found out that the
graduates of other colleges have to
study hard in order to work out some
OF our "sets," even when they apply
the old familiar method which they
were taught.
One of Smiths graduates told me
that he had met less difficulty with
Smiths entire course than he had en-.
countered in the two weeks be has
been here. Prof. Draughon claims
that his graduates can keep books BY
any system, however extensive or com
plicated.
The chief complaint brought against
Draughon ia that his course is too
long and difficult. My own opinion
is that this objection speaks in high
praise for his method OF instruction
and, | would here advise anyone who
desires good business education and
is unwilling to submit to close study
and hard work, to seek some Other
college than Draughon's, and thus
avoid trouble and modification. He
has sent one pupil home since came
here, and as the reputation of hit
school depends on the character Of hi,

his classes of incident members, who

The Southern people we're prosper

all my life in this bailiwick, and, pom
honor, have never seen the streets so
filthy as they are at present-rubbish,
paper and general trash scattered every
where you go. Is this reform movement,

the city and its charter? Or Is 1t short of
lucre? What's in the wind-a lot of dirt

a large number of strangers, and If It is
desired to create a favorable impression

everything in order. A dirty city is not at

'Romnnce spoiIed.

From the New York Press
I believe in helping the young people
out. There might have been a pretty bit
of romance in the elopement of John Bris-
ben Walker, Jr., and Miss Brandt but for
one thing-the parents on both sides had
the prosaic perVersty to be willing. Will
ing parents spoil every bit of romance in
the matrimonial arrangements Of the
young. They ought to make a show Of
opposition anyway, when they find that
in the imagination of the young couple
an elopement is conducive to connubial
bliss. Walker is a foot ball player of no
mean skill, and ne wanted this chance to
show his sweetheart how nobly a foot
ball lover could fight for guard. defend
and protect the object of his alteration.
