As Mr. Bagwell has commenced pro claiming his absurdities again and try ing to claim victory out of defeat in his recent “Comedy of Error*,” I shall have to give to the public my letter to him, written In answer to his let ter, und cut and dried contract, which he handed to me EIGHTEEN HOURS after the proposed students’ contest was called off. How He Dodged ths Contest. I wish to call special attention to this man’s cunningly devised scheme to DODGE THE CONTEST: First, WE WERE EACH TO DE POSIT A $600 GUARANTEE BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE SHOULD BE DONE. Second. WE WERE TO JOINTLY DRAW UP THE CONTRACT AND ARRANGE THE DETAILS. WJIAT DID HE DO? On Sunday, ho announced that his $500 HAD BEEN DEPOSITED. Monday I announced that HIS MONEY HAD NOT BEEN DEPOSITED, and that I HAD NOT .BEEN INVITED TO ASSIST IN THE DRAWING UP OF THE CONTRACT. On Tuesday morn ing I repeated my announcement of Monday, and yet I could hear nothing from Mr. Bagwell. After his prolonged silence of SEV- ENTY-EIGHT HOURS, I called farce off. and EIGHTEEN HOURS AFTERWARDS, OR NINETY-SIX HOURS FROM THE TIME OF MY CHALLENGE, HE EMERGED FROM HIS HIDING-PLACE, ami. handing me his Ingenously drawn, SELF-CON STRUCTED CONTRACT, said: "IF YOU WILL SION MY PAPER, I WILL DEPOSIT THE $500.” If Mr. Bagwell had wnntcd a con test, he would have called upon me Immediately after reading my chal lenge, instead of waiting FOUR DAYS, and that, too, after the contest had been declared off. Further comment Is unnecessary. The trickster has been trapped. My letter follows: Atlanta. Ga., Nov. 27, 1907. Mr. J. O. Bagwell, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir: Referring to your letter and contract, handed to mo in person by yourself toda>. Wednesday, Nov. 27, at ten min utes past 9 o'clock, Just eighteen hours after my announcement In Tuesday evening papers that the contest was called off, I beg leave to refer you to that announcement for the stand I shall take In the future. The public fully understands the sit uation. You v/ore given the opportu nity to enter Into a fair contest to prove The Road To Disappointment. the superiority or Inferiority of your Chartler system, but your action In tho matter has relegated It to the inferior class. Who coiild not make a brave show ing when the enemy has retired? You come from your hiding jdnee and claim that you “killed the b’ar.” Be honest, Mr. Bagwell, and come out squarely and sny that you are afraid. Your at tempt to fool the people is amusing. You have adrolth' attempted to bring the Bouthern Into the affair, when the Southern has nothing to do with It. Now, In conclusion, I reiterate my statement In Tuesday’s papers: “I think I have discovered n business school faker and exposed his tricks, and now I am done with hi nv forever.” Yours truly, L. W. ARNOLD. I still charge that the five most Im portnnt claims made for the Chartler System of Shorthand are misrepresen tations, and claim that Graham Is a fur superior system, and makes first- cists stenographers in a shorter time. WISCONSIN PUMP SUCCESSFUL BID Continued from Page One. the merits of your system, but you havi wisely evaded such a contest. You utterlv ignored the conditions of my challenge, which were, first, that you and I should IMMEDIATELY deposit $500 each as a guarantee of good faith, and. second, that the contract should be drawn up Jointly. On Sunday. No vember 24, after my challenge of Sat urday. you ann»/inced that the $500 HAD BEEN deposited, and now, today, November 27, you convict yourself of a falsehood by your own statement In the morning Constitution to the effect that YOU WILL deposit $600 as soon as I sign and return fo you the “Cut anil Dried” contract of your own pro duction. Seventy-eight hours were given you in which to make a deposit and accept my challenge, but no tidings came from Mr Bagwell, although I TWICE noti fied you publicly that I was waiting. Now after railing off the contest be cause of your al#mce, you endeavor to fool the people by coming out with your SELF-CONSTRUCTED proposi tion Too late. Mr. Bagwell, you have lost the opportunity offered you fairly and In good faith by your opponent. By this opportunity you could have proved hand crane with which to erect the pump nml to Kell this crane to the city for 11,000. This brings the Idd up to $I33.7u0.
