THE SOUTHERN
ANSWERS THE CHARTIER
Exposes Its Evasion of file
Original Proposition.
To th# Public
In ordor to prove the absurdity of the
claims of the Chartler system, we, on
June U, challenged the advocates of
thst system to verify said claims. On
June IS they published what purported
to be an acceptance of our challenge,
but It will be seen from our answer be
low that It was not an acceptance, but
an evasion. On, the same day of their
publication a telegram brought the sad
Intelligence of the death, from hydro
phobia, of the little chl|d of our Mr.
Arnold. We at once telephoned the ad
vocate of the Chartler system the cir
cumstances, and stated that we would
cease all hostilities until our Mr. Ar
nold, who had been conducting the cor
respondence, should have sufficiently
recovered from the terrible shock. Mr.
Arnold, a tender and devoted father,
crushed and bowed down as we have
never seen man, la still absent, trying
to regain his strength, and, yet, the
managers of the Chartler system, so
eager for notoriety, have disregarded
all the proprieties of life, and violated
the first principles of business ethics
by publishing, In glaring headlines, thi
the Southern has failed to meet them.
If tor no other reason than their en
tire disregard of the amenities of life,
wherein they have lifted the pall of
death, and have taken advantage of the
grief of a stricken father, this alone
would cause us to cease Communica'
tlon with the managers of the Char,
tier system, but we think that the an
swer we give below will fully expose
them and prove that they have not met
the main Issue at stake.
The public may rest assured that
when a system of shorthand Is Invent
ed which is better than Graham, Mun
son or Pittman we shall be the first
to adopt same. The Chartler system
was offered to us, but we declined It
because of Its Inferiority. We have
seen mushrooms rise in a night and
die In a day.

and that said offer was promptly de

system, it was found to be an ex

system.
The deponent, A. C. Briscoe, further
says that he dictated an ordinary com
mercial letter to said 'Chartler, who was
not able to receive dictation at a speed
exceeding thirty-five words per min

able to read hie notes intelligently. ■

Personally appeared befqre me the
undersigned, B. C. Ansted, who, upon
oath, says that he was present at the
time that the said Chartler, author and
publisher, was In the office of the
Southern Shorthand and Business Uni
versity, and heard him solicit Mr. A. C.
Briscoe, president, to adopt the said
Chartler system of shorthand. The de
ponent further says that he questioned
•aid Chartler as to the merits of his
•yatem of shorthand, and was con
vinced, from said conversation, that
the said system was notably inferior
to the Qraham system.
BERNARD C. ANSTED,
Atlanta, Go.. July 16, 1966.
Mr. J. O. Bagwell, president, Atlanta,
On.
Dear Sir: Upon receipt of your favor
of the 16th ult. we at once telephoned
you that, on account of the death of
the child of Mr. L. W. Arnold, vice
president, we would cease all "hostili
ties" until Mr. Arnold should recover
from the shock. Imagine our surprise
.at the glaring head-lines published' In
the papers of today and Saturday.
Comment is unnecessary.
We now beg . leave to state that, of
the four propositions we made to you,
the first was that you would produce a
wiHsr who could receive our dictation,
100 words j-r minute, of n« matter
instruction In your school. You Im
mediately answered that If we would
allow dictation from practice matter,
you would accept the proposition. Of
course this was declined.
You then, on June 28, by trying to
place a wrong construction upon the
fourth proposition, and knowing that
you. could not comply with our first
proposition, came back at us with n
■ ■nuiit.•r-|iri>i>nslt|nn. namely, that wo

Notary Public, Fulton Co.
Atlanta, Qa., July 16, 1906.
Personally appeared before me the
undersigned, A. C. Briscoe, president of
the Southern Shorthand and Business
University, who, upon oath, saya that,
during the latter part of the year 1906
with a pupil of your sc
days' instruction or less. You knew at
the time that for us to accept such a
proposition would be to Indorse your
method of. teaching nnd make our
selves liable to the ridicule of all right
thinking people. Every teacher knows,
nnd the business profession Is aware,
that such manner of "cramming" Is lr
violation of every principle of peda
gogy. Because, occasionally, some
bright pupil makes a wonderful record
within a few weeks, it would be unjust
to the public to endeavor to create the
Impression that all do this. We have
these exceptions, but It does not fol
low that all pupils can make the same
records. Your text-book contains
more than 100 rules and sub-dlvlstons
of rules, and your alphabet la more
complicated and difficult than the
Graham alphnbot, and yet you would
have the public believe that your pu
pils can master all of these rules and
take dictation In new matter at a re
markable rate of speed within ten days
sifter entering your school. It was to
expose ' this unreasonable claim that
we offered the prlzo, and it has served
its purpose. You absolutely failed to
accept our first proposition and. you
cannot shift to another proposition.
You have failed to comply with our
first proposition and we decline to con
elder the matter further.
Yours very truly,

GOVERNOR'S SPECIAL

Governor Terrell aent a special mes
sage to the general aaaembly Monday
morning, calling attention to the condi
tion* exiatlng aa regards the convict
funds In the eight new countlei.
He says'that legislation la necessary
for rearranging the apportionment In
both the new countie# and th# old
counties from which territory was cut
off. The recent controversy between
Burke arid Jenkins over this fund called
attention to the existing condition.
Governor Terrell saye that under the
law now In force the prison commis
sion has no authority to apportion the
fund. Thla Is manifestly unfair, he
ears, but there la oo way to correct
It until the general assembly peases the
"TvhenMil* Is done, the state board of
education can take the school census of
the various counties, and then make
the apportionment.

New York, July 16.—Harry K Thaw
learned today that Benjamin Thaw, hie
half brother and the head of the Thaw
family, who Is worth 226,000,000, haa
refused to give him a dollar to aid In
the defense either now or when he
cornea to trial.
To top thla unwelcome news cams
the Information from Pittsburg that all
Thaw’a other millionaire relatives had
also deserted him In his present predic
ament, and that not a cent of all the
other half brothers' and half slaters'
fortunes would be at his disposal.
Must Gat Self Clear.
"Harry Kendall Thaw has placed
himself In an awful position,” said Ben
jamin Thaw, to tho mesienger that wae
sent quietly to Pittsburg to aak the
latter’s help. "He alone Is responsible
for hie preaent trouble add ha will have
—i gat out of it himself.”
There was no qualification of that
statement, and It was repeated In euh-
atance by all tn# other members of
the Thaw family to whom Harry
Thaw'a secret messenger applied. These
are all the children of the flrat wife of
William Thaw. Harry's father, and It
was aald today that they have no'
but disgust for tha way Harry's
oats have brought disgrace upon the
Thaw name.
Mother to the Dafenae.
It was all tha more anxiously, there
fore, that Harry Thaw awaited the
visit of hla mother to the Tombs to
day. It la In her that ha inuat now
plica all hla dependence. She, It le be-
laved, has already assumed absolute
charge of the defense and hers alone
will be the directing word for every
difficulty In tha way of the defense
henceforth. _ ■
Clifford W. Hertrldge, Thaw's new
leading counsel, etated today that hla
client wae In the most difficult position.
This la what he said:
“Thaw la In a hole, and nobody real
lses It more than bis preaent counsel."
“Won’t Be Convicted."
Thla clearly Indicates that the law
yer realises what danger tha slayer of
Stanford White faces, but It la difficult
reconcile the statement with the fol
lowing:
"Aa I stand here as a man, I tell
you Harry Thaw will not. ba convlctad
of anything," said Mr. Hartrldge. "I
tell you that now; I will stake my soul
that. Ha does not want hla wealth
make any difference In his case, and
desires that he be tried as any man is
tried, poor or noj."
It was not certain that the old Arm
whom Thaw dismissed without a mo
ment's notice would be entirely elimi
nated from the defense.
