IN AN OPEN LETTER BAGWELL
MAKES SCATHING REPLY TO ARNOLD
Denounces His Methods as Underhanded
and Contemptible.
Shows the Ridiculousness
of Arnold’s Position and
Demands That He Stand
by His Own Agreement
to Enter Contest.
Mr. L. W. Arnold:
Dear Sir—In regard to the alander-
oua cartoon published by you In yes
terday's Georgian, and Intended to re
flect upon Bagwell Buelneee College, w e
wish to eey that. In our opinion, It Is
about the dlrtleat, meanest and most
contemptible attempt to mlarepresent
a competitor that we ever knew any
one to be guilty of. and we believe that
you have forfeited the respect of every
decent buetneae rtf!!’ who has followed
thle controversy and who Is ae>iuulnte<l
with the facts In the case. ,
Abuse and atander are the arguments
of the weak and unprincipled when the
facta are against them. Your scurrll-
' ous cartoon la full of malice and envy
It has In It the venom of hatred. It Is
nothing but the snarling of a whipped
cur.
The Absurdity of Arnold’s Excuse For
Withdrawing From the Contest.
On Saturday, November 23, you ac
cepted our challenge to contest and
proposed that each school put up 1600
as a guarantee of good faith.
At 12 o’clock, Tuesday, the 26th, to
our great astonishment, you suddenly
called off the contest without awaiting
any further communication from us.
Why were you In such a hurry lo de
clare the contest off? Couldn't you
screw your courage up to the sticking
point? What was It that took all of
the starch out of your backbone and
left It as limber as a cotton string?
If you were not afraid lo enter the
contest, or If you had any doubt about
our putting up the 1600, why did you
call It off at ull? Instead of being In
such a hun-y to back down from your
own proposition, why did you not stand
by It and force us to back down ? Then
you could have consistently come out
and claimed the victory. We have
made you no lest than a dozen proposl-
tlons during the lost eighteen months,
and have never seen fit to cull any of
them off.
Bagwell Insists on the Contest.
Now, Mr. Arnold, If you Intended to
contest when you made your proposi
tion. why not do It now? What’s ths
difference? We are ready to enter the
contest at any time under your own
proposition.
place you designate, and go with
to any bank In Atlanta, where each of
us will deposit 1600 as a guarantee of
good faith. The only condition that we
make Is that the contest shall be de
cided . by three Impartial Judges, and
that It shall be such a contest as will
show the relative merits of ('hartler
and Graham Shorthund. and prove or
disprove the vtslms made for i’hartler
Shorthand by Bagwell Business Col
lege, namely, that It makes competent
stenographers In one-half the time re
quired for the Graham system. In
order that there may be no hitch In
the contest, we propose that all points
of difference as to the terms and rules
of the contest shall be decided by the
Judges.
Now. we believe that the public will
agree with us that this Is a fair and
square proposition. It Is up to you to
"put up or shut up.” As long os you
refuse to enter the contest, and con
tinue to hide behind such absurd ex
cuses, your slanderous and scurrilous
cartoons are cowardly and contempti
ble In the extreme.
The Proof of tho Pudding.
You state that the Graham system of
shorthand can be mastered In as short
time as the Chartler. We give below
a partial list of the Chartler shorthand
graduates, who have been placed dur
ing the past year. The address, name

In public contest three of the above
graduates against uny three puptls sent
nut from the Southern Business College
, during the Inst twelve months.
Now. Mr. Arnold, you know that
llngwell Business College Is sending out
: trnogruphers In much less time than
you can possibly do with your anti
quated system. You know that almost
every one of these Chartler writers Is
glvlpg the highest satisfaction to hts
employer.
You know that Chartler shorthand
■ saves the student from two to three
months’ valuable t!m% and practically
one-half the expense required to drudge
through ' your antiquated system.
Therefore, you know that It Is a plain
Jnfractlnn of every Inw of ethics to ac
cept lulllon from the young people
of the country for n course of Grd-
lmm shorthand when the student has
opportunity to study Chartler short-

“The WheeTof Love."
It la never an easy undertaking to
give actor nnd author Just their pro
portionate due In measuring the success
or the failure of the presentation of a
play.
A poor play makes the actor appear
poor and a poor actor makes the play
appear poor. But everybody knows
that, and everybody does not know
whether Paul Gilmore fell down In the
last act of "The Wheel of Love," or
whether George V. Hobart, the author,
tripped him up.
The first two acta were all right. No
question about that. Mr. Hobart sup
plied nil kinds of action, plenty of hu
mor and of the delightful. Inimitable
Hobart brand, and Mr. Gilmore, as long
as It was In the province of his part to
look pretty while he was slinging slang,
was clever.
Ami the audience, small as it waa
was appreciative and applauded gener
ously—so generously that Gilmore felt
called upon to make a speech which
proved entertaining.
The last act begins with a beautiful
sunset scene, accompanied by a song
from the star. .That ends It. Mr. Gil
more Is at home with his friends in
patent leathers and gaiters sunk about
two f»»et In Brussels carpet, and sur
rounded on all sides by lace curtains,
but os a "cow-chap" out In the wild
and wooly he Isn’t there. He can not
answer the call of the wild.
In justice to Mr. Gilmore, It migjit
be said that Mr. Hobart made of that
last act something of a monstrosity,
anyway. The cast Is fair. Here Tues.
day matinee nnd night. J. D. d.
Vaudeville at the Orpheum.
Plenty of fun and music at the Or
pheum this week, and that’s what
makes entertaining vaudeville. There’s
not an act without a song, unless It's
the barrel Jumpers, and not a turn
without some comedy. It’s hard to
pick the top-liner, for there are sev
eral good things, but perhaps Grace
Teonard and the Zeratsky Troupe were
the most popular features.
Miss Leonard does some very clever
Imitations, and her songs are new and
refreshing. She has a little of the
George t'ohan t<jpch, and her "drunk
en" aong was a well-handled hit. Her
act Is all too short. The Zeratskys,
seven tnen and girls from the Russian
steppes, wear the most lavish costumes
ever seen at the Orpheum, and their
dances and the accompanying music
have a foreign flavor that Is fascinat
ing.
“Wine, Women end Song."
If you were hit by that recent Wall
street panic and are wearing a grouch,
hie yourself to the Bijou this week nnd
take in "Wine, Woman and Song." If
you don’t leave the grouch In the play
house, you need treatment In a sani
tarium.
This show, which opened a week's
engagement at the Bijou Monday night,
Is different from most of the musical
productions which drift this way. It
made more than a hit at the opening
performance. It was the heaviest kind
of a body Jolt, and it kept the big au
dience which was present convulsed
and enthusiastic from beginning to end.
Robert Mantell Wednesday.
Mr. Mantell'* experience with so-called
"opposition’’ la such that he wIhIipn there
wen* more of'It, He In the only actor In
the country playing "King Lear," hih! he
ofteu says he would like to lmve n doxen
others take up the tragedy. In order that
popular Interest In It might lu* stimulated.
Whenever ths late Htchnrd Mansfield
played "King Richard III" near Mr. Man
tell, the latter'* receipt* for the tragedy
always were immense, and Mr. Mansfield
himself profited by Mr. Mnntell’s nearness.
It Is so with "Hamlet,’’ which Mr. Mantell
will play here on Thursday night. Forbes
Itoliertson played the role of Hamlet six
times In a week in Baltimore last Decem
ber nnd Jammed the theater nt everv per
formance. A fortnight later Mr. Mantell
played the role there five times In a week
tind with similar results.
Mr. Mantelt’s engagement will open on
Wednesday night with "King Lear," a play
In which he Is likely to lie without rivalry
for many years.
