Largest in History of the
Institution.

Our fall attendance has far sur
passed that of any previous year,
and from present indications, we
will enroll more than 100 new stu
dents in January. Our exception
ally large attendance is strong evil
dence of the popularity of the Ty-
Ter Commercial College with the
business men of the south. Many
new students are enrolling daily
we do not even stop for the Christ
mas holidays. Christmas day and
Sundays are the only days in the
year that we do not matriculate
students. We have one man who
deyotes his entire time to the en-
rolling of students and placing
them where they can get board in
nice homes.
Upon arriving in the city, come
direct to the college, where you
will be given prompt attention. 1t
you arrive on night train, take a
carriage for the Capitol Hotel. just
across tbs street from the college.
If you should hear the report,
which is sometimes started by a
competitor, that with some seven
hundred students in daily attend
ance. we cannot give you proper
attention, pay no attention to the
report. The large attendance en-
ables us to far better systematic
our school into departments and
handle it than if we only had a
few students and one or two teach
ers that had to teach little of
everything. AS it Is, we have
twenty teachers who are special
lists, teaching the various subjects;
it would not show good judgment
on our part not to provide am
pie room and teaching force to
handle all who might apply for adj
mission in this, Americas largest
and most thorough school of book
keeping, business training, short
hand, typewriting, and telegraphy.
If it had ever been our custom to
neglect our students and not give
them the best training possible to
obtain, we could not have built
here In ten years the largest school
of the kind in America, school
that has the reputation among the
leading business men for teaching
thoroughly the work demanded In
the most modern business Offices

NEGRO LYNCHED IN SHREVEPORT
Grand Jury Called to Investigate the
Circumstances.


Saturday afternoon, Nov. eth,
the city of Shreveport was thrown
into fever of excitement by the
lynching of a negro, Sim Rochelle,
Fl years old, for attempted crimi-
nal assault on Jennie McMillen, a
seven year old white child. She
was enticed into a vacant house by
the negro, but fortunately her five
year old sister gave the alarm and
the brute ran off. He was captur-
ed later, his guilt proven, and be-
ing identified by both of the chill
dren was gwen short shrift.
The Shreveport Times of Tues
day says: The grand jury, which
but recently completed its fall
term, has been, called into session
extraordinary by an order of Judge
7. F. Bell, delivered to Clerk Har-
din verbally yesterday, to meet on
December 18th, ,.s a9G,
Although the. officials remain
reticent about. the cause of this
meeting, It Is presumably for the
purposecf. Investigating. the lynch
ing of the negro 'Sihmie Rochelle,
who was hanged to the trestle OF
the street railway company in West
End Saturday evening for attempt
ed;criminal assault upon little T.
yeAr-old Jennie Mcmillan. -.
Attention has been called to the
fact that the members of the mob
operated in daylight and with no
masks, and there were ten or if
teen officers present. 1t is likely
that all. of these officers will be
summoned before the grand jury
with view to ascertaining from
them the names of the members
of the mob, IL they knew them.
Some of the officers, in speaking
of the matter yesterday, said that
they saw but few familiar faces
there, as the entire crew OF the
Kansas City Southern shops pour
ed.out into the mob, and they knew
mighty few of -tbem.'
The leaders of the mob, those
who did the actual lynching, were
but few, perhaps not over ten or
fourteen.,. They stood upon the
trestlefiu the twilight and tied'the
rope and showed the negro of. :
There weresabout five hundred
persons present. but all of these
were not members of the moi. by
any MEALS. They were on-lookeis
who came there to see what was
taking place, being attracted by
the hooting ahd yelling, and the
reports that there was a lynching
going on. In this way the men
who were actually. taking part in
the lynching were swallowed up in
the vast crowd that was present.
The officers tried to get some
help from the on-lookers, but none
was volunteered, and none came
when the call was, made.
The time required to take the
negro fromsthe officers, trot him a
half mile. to the trestle. adjust the
rope and push him of, did pot take
over thirty minutes, and it was
thirty minutes of the widest con-
fusion West End has ever seen.
