the Business Value of
Callers.

Men who direct affairs, wheth-
CT their own business or a de-
partment of another's, must
learn to judge the business val
ue of callers. They must learn
to enforce such judgments, and
to end interviews that have pas
sed the limits of utility. Chat
ting on general subjects during
business hours is a sure means
OF spelling ones executive eff
cheney, robbing ones employer,
or even running ones own bust
ness.
Men who are famous as execu-
tives seem to have an instinct for
deciding instantly, when a caller
is announced, how much time to
give him. President Roosevelt
is fine example of such man.
When man enters his Office, he
| grasps him by the hand as if he
were a 1ong-expected friend, but
along with the cordial greeting is
a plain expression that business
is business, and that other dear
friends" are waiting. Most of
the Presidents visitors, there
fore, state their errands concise
ly, and retire quickly without
creating further delay.
The president of a certain
large institution is known for the
cordial welcome he gives to his
callers, but he has remarkable
tact in leading them Immediately
to the business in hand. AS soon
as that is concluded, he rises
| graciously and shakes the callers
hand, assuring him that he re-
grets not having more time to
give to him, and the caller, though
really dismissed at the will of the
busy man, goes away feeling that
he had been handsomely treated,
even If he has not been talking to
him for over three minutes. The
heads of large banks and insur-
ance companies, and the high
salaried trust officers, are men
with this faculty well developed.
Influential promoters, men of
combining powers, grasp, COM
preheuslOn, and executive ability,
are always men of comparatively
few words in business, and are
known for their directness and
conciseness. Every word they
speak counts; they look upon
their time as capital, and will not
allow it to be unnecessarily in
fringed upon.
These prompt, direct, execu-
tive men make some enemies, of
course, but they accomplish re-
Isults, they do things. They
believe in military discipline in
their business, and do not want
anything to do with people who
do not mean business.
One Of the most valuable assets
OF business man is the power
OF compelling those with whom
he has transactions to be brief.
This is an indication of the sue
cesstul man. Only those who
| have learned the value of time
can appreciate its importance,
and so guard against it's being
encroached upon by thoughtless
or over-talkative people. Per-
haps no one in the business world
today furnishes such a striking
example of the power Of inducing
brevity in others as ]. Picrpont
Morgan. His enemies accuse
him of rudeness in this respect:
but it is merely business prin-

REVIVAL MEETING CLOSED
Number OF Conversions Estima-
led at One Hundred.

The revival conductedsat the Bap-
tist church for the past two weeks
by Evangelist, T. M. Fitzgerald, !,
closed last night. The auditorium
and galleries OF the spacious build
ing were filed to their limit and for
two hours a service of interest was
held. The choir of trained singers
sang with power and feeling, and
after Pastors Smith and Copass had
made their final statements con-
cerning the meeting, Bro. Fitzger-
aid took the pulpit for his last SER
mon and In foreeful language pre-
sented the question Of acceptance or
rejection of Christ.
This has been one of the best
meetings Waxahachie has had in
years. Christian people of almost
every denomination worked heartily
and harmoniously in the meeting.
There were conv ersfons at almost
every service from the timethe
meeting began until 1t closed. Ii is
safe to say that there have been at
least one hundred professions of
faith in Christ during the meeting.
This includes the work done at the
College chapel exercises. Since the
meeting commenced #there have
been s. additions ~ the Cumberland
Presbyterian church. The Baptist
had II additions yestertfay with
others 10 follow. All the churches
In the city that took part In the
meeting will be greatly benefited.
1t Ia confidently expected that the
good work will continue after the
evangelist is gone.
Rev. Fitzgerald and MFR. Garter,
by their falthful service, won many
warm friends IN the city.

OPERATORS VOTE TO OPEN NO
NEW PLACES.

Factors Requested to Aid in Carry
ing Out the ResO1utiOn-Price for
Box Cutting Fixed at IL Cents.
Jacksonville Chosen Place of
Next Meeting-Savnnnah Naval
stores Review and Industrial Rec
ord of jacksonville Made Official
Organs.
Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 1.-THE
1urpentine Operators Association held
their final business sessions here to-
day and adjourned. The attendance
was very large at the morning session,
and important matters were attended
TO, including the election of officers,
the adoption of slight changes in the
old constitution and bylaws and the
selection of the next place of meeting,
which resulted in an overwhelming
vote for Jacksonville. Valdosta had
extended an invitation to the operators
to meet there next year, and Col. w.
S. West made a strong plea in behalf
of the Georgia city, but the operators
decided that as Jacksonville was the
official headquarters of the association
and as it was an easily accessible
point, that it would be best TO meet
here again next year.
The new constitution and bylaws
adopted are practically the same as
formerly. The price for cutting boxes
is fixed at IA cents. The following is
an important provision:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
the association that no new places be
opened this season and that the fac
tors be requested to do all in their
power to have this resolution carried
out
The association reelected it's former
officers and Executive Committee
unanimously:
Presidential. D. Covington, Bristol,
Fla.
secretary-John C. Powell. Palatka
Treasurer-H. A. McEachern, Jack
sonville.
With these as Executive Committee
are W. W. Timmons, Triton, Ga, AL
bert Pridgen, Pridgen, Fla, w. ]. He'll
man, Floral City, Fla, w. B. Conoly,
Brooksville, Fla, j. w. Callahan, Balm
bridge, Ga.
The liveliest feature of the session
was a tilt between the Savannah Ma
val Stores Review and the Industrial
Record, a Jacksonville publication, for
the distinction of being appointed the
official organ of the association. The
association decided to make compro-
mise by appointing both the Record
and the Review as official organs. The
Executive Committee held a meeting
tonight to dispose of detail matters
