Mr.. Sulzer mentioned as a candidate,
and. of course, he is not a candidate,
but he would make mighty popular

of Lola Montez, whose only claim up
on history in that Ludwig L. king of
Bavaria, In 1925, became so infatuat-
ed with her that he gave up his king
dom sooner than resign her.
King Ludwfg's eccentricities
amounted almost to insanity He re-
fused to appear in royal clothes, even
upon state occasions. He dressed like
an English fox hunter. His favor!te
amusement was to prowl around the
streets at night, and knock of peo-
pies hats.
Lola Montez, according to her four
teen biographies, was the daughter of
an Irish gentleman, and Spanish
dancer. She was beautiful, had vio-
lent temper, and was coarse and un-
womanly. She eloped at the age of

English army. She left him and lived
for several years with a Captain Len

made her appearance in London
theater as dancer. She was widely
advertised as new Spanish dancer,
and the evening of her first appear
ance the theatre was crowded. She
was not a graceful dancer, but de-
pended upon her beauty for success.
She had not been on the stage fifteen
minutes until someone called out, Its
only Betty James," and she was hiss
ed of the stage She left London and
went to Paris, where she attempted
to be dancer. She was so abandon
ed that she would fling her garters
from the stage into the faces of the
spectators. Upon one occasion she
took all her clothes of before an au-
dience in the theatre. Even the
French would not submit to that, and
she was forbidden to appear on the
stage. Lola Montez whipped a police
man on the streets Of Paris once, and
made speciality Of knocking down
people who offended her.
The half crazy Ludwig of Ba-
yaria saw her in Munich. He asked
her at once to accompany him to his
palace, and she was his mistress for
several years. She insulted the queen,
and meddled in politics. The people
OF Bavaria hated her, and at last the
peers of the realm assembled and
placed before King Ludwig the de-
mand of the populace that Lola Mon
tez should leave the country. King
Ludwig replied, II would rather lose
my crown" The populace forced him
to abide by his decision, and he abdi-
Gated. He had given his throne for
the light love of the beautiful Lola
Montez, and she would have no more
to do with him.
The rest of her career was devoted
to adventures with many varieties Of
men. She committed bigamy in Eng
land, and, with her bigamous husband,
fled to Spain. He was drowned en-
route. and she married q Spaniard.
She went to Australia, and her four
teen biographies relate that the only
thing which happened to her there
worth mentioning was a fight she had
with big. strapping Australian wo-
man. The Australian woman clawed
the face OF Lola Montez until Lola
fell fainting to the ground. Then Lo-
la came to America and lectured.
Her biographies relate that her lee

man, and the subject was "The Art Of

The above is the likeness of a
South Carolina young lady, who, in
one year after having finished her
studies in the Georgia-Alabama Bust
ness College, of Macon, Ca, was
drawing a salary of 500 per month,
and who has recently gone consider
ably higher than that, with the as
surance from the company with which
she is working that she'll draw as big
salary from that firm as is neces-
sary to keep her with them.
This is one of number of young
ladies who have reached and passed
the 800 mark in the salary list after
receiving the training in that institu-
ton.
,The public generally will take pride
in reading of the success that trained
business women are making, and it is
the purpose of this paper to publish
occasionally accounts of such sue
cesses as this, because Of the inspira-,
ton it will give to other readers who
may hope to accomplish big things in
life.
The GeOrgia-Alabama Business Col

us with such information about these
successful graduates whenever oppOr-
tunity occurs for doing good with it.
The following letter was written by
Mr.. Henry J. Lamar, Miss Richard

her services. She has had numerous
