DON'T MAKE A MISTAKE.

If you are contemplating making
a stenographer of yourself do not
make a mistake and attend a school
teaching one of the old systems such
as Pitman, Graham and Gregg-they
are too awfully hard to learn, almost
impossible to read accurately and
are incomplete. The Byrne Simpli-
fed Shorthand, as taught at the
Athens Business College of Athens,
Ga, is far superior, more modern
in every way; it is system that is
easy to learn and has often been
mastered by youngsters OF from 8
to II years Of age. Where the Pit
manic and other systems have over
500 rules, almost 5UV exceptions
and thousands of word signs to be
committed to memory, also a pho
netiC language to master, the Byrne
Simplitied writes the English Ian
guage as it is written and spoken
in every day use, with the 26 letters
of the alphabet, short rules, no
exceptions and 10 word signs to be
memOriZed.
For Endorsements from those who
have mastered other systems, then
abandoned them and made a success
with the Byrne, write for our 168
page catalogue; it contains hundreds
of endorsements that are sufficiently
strong to convince the most skepti-
cal of the wonderful superiority of
the Byrne over all other systems.
We have the exclusive control of this
system and no other school in this
section is permitted to teach it. You
can better understand why the
Athens Business College of Athens,
Ga, is the largest and most success
full school of BoOkkeeping-Busi
Training, Shorthand and Typewrit-
ing in the state, when you have read
our catalogue. Every statement
made in this catalogue is true and
correct and backed by a cash guar
anty of 500. Don't delay; write
for it at once.

OUR RAILROAD KING.
Hartman Controls Half the
COuntry'S Mileage.


He Never Smiles, and Terrorizes
Alike Bankers and BOOtblaCks.
Has Grown More Powerful in Spite
of President Roosevelt's Expressed
Intention of Making a Horrible
Example of Him. ...
The greatest railroad figure in the
world a man who has no serious
rival, is Edward II. Hartman, who
absolutely controls half the railroad
mileage of the United States and
who, if he lives another score Of
years, will dominate all the big rail
roads Of the country. Through the
properties he controls he employs
100000 men.
Hartman is a puzzle to many.
Wall street loves and hates him. 1t
thinks he is the greatest American
that ever lived, and it will shout
itself hOarse over him. linen it will
damn him. But when it damns Har-
Timan it is because Hartman re-
fuses to act like an ordinary being;
refuses to be anything but a money
god. Wall street occasionally has
a spasm of human feeling, and it
likes at such a time to see its great
est god unbend But Hartman
never unbends.
He is violent in manner and
speech He never smiles and abso-
lutely is lacking in sense of hui
NOR. He terrOrizes his subordinates, !
his visitors and associates in bust
ness, and it is a wonder that he has
not been assaulted. But he plays
no favorites. He will insult a bank
er as quickly as he will a newsbOy. !
A Law Unto Himself.
Those who know him best say he
is not brutal but brusque; not SO
lacking in courtesy as III suavity. |
They say that he is so deadly serious |
about everything in which he en-
cages that he cannot understand the
feelings and the fOibles of other men. |
They say that his habit of roaring
at persons, whether they be messen !
ger boys or princes of plenty, is the
result more of extreme nervousness
than of temper, and that he is no
more intOlerant than Morgan or any
other man who has a multiplicity of
affairs to attend
And +. II. Hartman certainly is a
great man. Two years ago Theo-
dore Roosevelt, president of the
United States, camped on his trail
with the pleasant and expressed in
tention of making a horrible exam
pie of him, to show other malefac-
tors of great wealth what was COM
ing to them if they did not quit
robbing the public. The president
branded Hartman, but that is as
far as he went. Despite all of
Harrimans alleged misdeeds in the
footing of the Chicago & Alton,
and despite all the dread power of
the department of justice and the
interstate commerce commission
spurred on by the president, moth
ing has been done. Hartman has
proceeded gObbling up railroads, de-
stroying those who oppose him and
ruling the transportation situation as
if presidents of the United States,
departments of justice and interstate
commerce commissions had no ter
rOrs for him. And even the press
of the country almost has forgotten
his misdeeds, so amazing is the ac-
tivity Of the man.
Brought Morgan to His Knees.

}IRL ALL NIGHT RIDE swinging FROM BALLOON
Parachute Jumper, Clad Only in Tights Nearly Froze
Assembled Twenty Thousand Feet.

LONDON, Eng.-MlSS Viola Spen-
Ger, who made an involuntary balloon
voyage during night from Derbyshire
into Leicestershire, tells some inter
esting details of her adventure.
Clad in the customary tights she
made a belated ascent at a gala event
at Heanor, near Ilkeston.
Il was shot off the ground at a
tremendous rate" she said, and the
crowd must have lost sight Of me
Immediately.
when I reached 5000 feet I tried
to release the parachute, but it failed
to act. l wound the rope round my
arm so as to secure a better pur-
chase, and 1 reached 10000 feet.
Still I could not release the para
chute. In a remarkably short space
of time my aneroid registered 90
600 and l resigned myself to the
possibility of having to spend a night
in my sling.
She Feared Freezing.
THE cold was intense, and the air
so rarefed that it was difficult to
breathe. My hands became numbed,
and l beat them against the ring of
my parachute. When the blood be-
gan to circulate again the pain was
terrible. | was fearful lest | should
lose consciousness and fall from my
seat.
You cannot imagine the intense
solitude of those attitudes. | started
to sing, but the sound of my own
voice was SO weird that it frightened
me.
Il passed over Tlkeston and saw
the lights of Nottingham, which
looked splendid.
The balloon gradually lost gas
and descended, and I was delighted
to hear the bark of a dog. I
touched earth at Thrusington, near
Rearsby, in Leicestershire, and quick
ly released myself in a field.
BallOn Escapes Again.
Gas the parachute was still at
tached the balloon would not col
lapse, and rose again. I chased it
over fields and then gave up.
II reused the astOnished inmates
of a house close by, and they gave
me brandy and put me to bed.
Next day l discovered the balloon
in the backyard of a cottage, un-
damaged. With the assistance of
some men it was conveyed to the
nearest station, and l returned to
Derbyshire"

juicy editorial bouquet:
For sure-enough Optimism, faith in
the future of aerial navigation and
other kinds of faith that cheer but do
not inebriate, the Hattiesburg News
stands at the head of the list in the
state. Observing the success of the
Wright brothers in their aeroplane
experiments, the News says that with
in five or six years at the most air
ship lines between Hattiesburg and
Jackson may be expected and the pa
per may use them in delivering it's
regular editions in Laurel. Brookhav-

ing, but we advise the News to stay on
the ground, for a while at least"

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Shoulda list ofthe ingredients ofPe-
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, ofwhatever school or nationality,
ne would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one of them was of
undoubted value in chronic catarrhal
diseases and had stood the test of many
years experience in the treatment of
such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT
EVER. Peruna is composed fthe most
eficacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingred-
lent OF Peruna has a reputation of its
owninthecureo fsome phase of catarrh.
Peruna brings to the home the COM
BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat
ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and knowl-
edge of the modern pharmacist; and
last but not least, brings to the home the
vast and varied experience of DR.. Hart
man, in the use ofcatarrh remedies, and
in the treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. 1t may be of the nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried
to cure them. That doctor has tried
to prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that q catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and of
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can be supplied di-
rectly to the people, and no more be
charged for it than is necessary for
the handling of it.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents.

inspection of the critics.

"Sir," said the quizzical customer
to the furniture mover, those men
you sent with the van to take my
goods to my new house were most pc
culiar. Are you sure they're all quite
sane?"
Are they?" replied the other. "Why,
I am surprised to hear such an insinu-
alton as that. What makes you think
they are insane?"
Because they acted so oddly. They
didn't even break mirror or statuette
they did not scratch the piano and
they utterly failed to pack the lace

The Business Outlook.

A prominent local merchant who has
just returned from the Eastern mar
kets, where he purchased large line
of fall and winter merchandise, said to
the editor of this newspaper:
Il am sometimes afraid that I have
bought unwisely. While cannot help
but believe that better business condi-
tions are going to prevail, trade is not
increasing as it should do"
Other local business men may have
the same misgiyings, but a careful
study of the situation reveals nothing
discouraging. Some of the mills have
resumed operation while a great many
others are making preparations to do
so. The shops and factories are run
ming, some of them on full time, while
others are only preparing to start
Few of them have as yet had a regular
pay day, and the few laborers who
have drawn their first pay-envelopes
since the panic have been compelled
to apply most of the money on obliga-
lions contracted during the dull times
of the past several months.
Pay days will come more regular
now. More men will be employed from
week to week, and those who have reg
ular employment will soon wipe out
the debts they contracted during the
panic and the money they earn will
find its way into the channels of local
trade.
Conditions are much better than
they were thirty days ago. The i'm
provement of the next thirty days will
be even more marked. Normal condi-
lions are sure to obtain in the Hatties-
burg district within the course of a
lew weeks.
The railroads usually look far into
the future. They know the conditions
of the markets and calculate closely
what may be expected. And the fact
that they are preparing to handle an
enormous business in the Hattiesburg
territory during the fall and winter
months is an omen that will not es.
cape the attention of the business man
who takes the time to observe what is
going on about him.
Hattiesburgans have no cause for
anxiety and the merchant who buys
literally and carefully will not have
occasion to regret it.
