CHRISTMAS CARDS FATHER.
British Artist Originated This Form of
Greeting In 1874.

Some day surely grateful monu
ment will be erected to the memory of
W. A. Dobson the parent of the Christ
mas card. for he was a true herald Of
peace and good will to the world and
no small benefactor to commerce, says
i writer in Tit-Bits.
In 1914 Mr.. Dobson. who later be-
came famous member of the Royal
academy, was a young man earning 4
modest income as master of the gov
eminent School of Design at Birming-
ham. One evening in December in
stead of writing his usual letter Of
Christmas good wishes to a friend it
occurred to him to substitute pic
torial greeting, and, taking piece of
card about twice az large as d modern
postcard. he began to draw on it. In
the center of the three panels into
which he divided his design he sketch
ed a family group raising glasses to
the health of distant friends amid
:seaSonable environment of holly and
mistletoe. while on each side of this
festal scene he drew a picture of a
deed of charity.
This card Mr.. DobsOn dispatched to
his friend. giving it no further thought.
| Thes friend. however. was delighted
| with his novel and artistic Christmas
! greeting and showed it everywhere
| proudly to the equal admiration of his
/ acauaintances. Everybody begged fol-
similar card. and in the following
! December he amiable Mr. Dobsor
etched another design and this time
| had it Autographed and sent out cop
les by the score. In the following
year. he had several imitatorS, and the
Christmas card was AT last Launched
OH the tide of popular favor, although
even then if Mr.. Dobson had been tolt
that his modest card of 18Th woult
have 4O.O00.OO0 descendants sixty fiv
years later in Great Britain alone b
would probably have thrown up hi
hands in amazement and incredulity.

GEORGIA'S LEADING BUSINESS
UNIVERSITY.

The JeffersOnians present elsewhere
a sketch Of Mr. Eugene Anderson,
Business College, Macon, Georgia. MI.
Eugene Anderson has won a prom
inent place among the educators OF the
South not only through the methods
that he has introduced to revolution
ize business college work in this coun-
try, and to make the school-room an
actual business house, wherein stu
dents make money while learning to
pursue the office work, but also be-
cause he has gone ahead of the times
by working out practical plan by
which he can insure his graduates en-
pIoyment as long as they live and pre-
serve their moral character and keep
good business habits. It is such mas
ter strokes as this that have made the
educational institutions of the land,
and Mr. Anderson deserves the high
place he has won among the stenogra-
pliers and bookkeepers of the Southern
States. His college is enrolling stu
dents now from many of the Northern
States, by reason of its enterprising
methods.
In a conversation recently Mr.. An
derson said he was proud of the fact
that his college had not turned out any
students who were disappointed in
finding employment, even during the
panicky times of 1908 and 1909. He
said he found something for all who
depended upon him. and the students
are certainly strong in their praise of
him and his college. lie says ne
trained for his work for a quarter of
century before embarking in it, and
this is the cause of his great success.
Mr. Anderson showed the writer
hundreds of testimonials like the one
following:
Hon. Dudley M. Hughes Congress
man from the Third Con gressonal Dis
trict of Georgia: "Mr w N. Northrop,
whom the Georgia Alabama sent to me
as private secretary, is one of the most
particular and accurate StenOgrapherS
have ever SEEN" Mr.. Northrop
writes: after studying five weeks
with Mr.. Anderson I was able to report
a convention, at which work I made
SIS in day and half"

st. Paul's Church, Macon: II consider

children regardless of the wishes of
the mother who brought them into
the world. Few laymen knew of the
existence of this law until the Till

South Carolina, a State that boasts
of the chivalry of her sons. Now,
while the Legislature is in session, is
a fitting opportunity to have the
iniquitous law quickly repealed.

The more the Ballinger matter is

Very little attention should be paid
to the report of the committee. 1t
has been intended as a whitewash
from the start. First, there was to be
no investigation. The certificate of
pure white mountain top snow was
to be enuf. But public opinion
would not have it so. Then an in

1t has been stated, as far as the
people are concerned, that the pres
ent tariff bill was a gold brick and
was beneficial only to the trusts and
corporations. However, a few figures
might be of some interest. In 1907
the bill of fare for Thanksgiving
dinner would have cost $1.95; in
1909 the same bill of fare would have
cost $4.25. The rubber trust de-
clared a dividend of 10 per cent, and
raised it's capital stock from five to
ten million. The United States steel
trust for the quarter ending Septem-
80, earned forty million dollars net,
or at the rate of $50 million per year.
It's earnings represent about forty
per cent dividend.-Kansas Com
