George W. Parrott, chairman of the
business men's committee, will make a
report on progress. It Is believed that
the work of the past week will assure
the organisation of the exchange as
planned.
The committee will ascertain the
probable membership and make a defi

Not Opposing Exchange.
”1 do not wish' to be placed In the
position of opposing the market ex
change proposed by the chamber of
commerce. As a mattei 1 of fact, I
started a movement for an exchange
before ft wus ever thought of by the
chamber of commerce.”
This Is the statement of A. V. Cur
ran, manager of the Southern Ex
change, whose proposition to the grain
dealers' association was given In The
Georgian a few days ago.
“ft was several months ago,” he
continued, "that a number of my pa
trons, men whose business requires
that they know, the condltloh of the
markets all the time, asked what ar
rangement could be made to have quo
tations furnished them.
I made a personal visit to the of
fices of tho V. P. Randolph Company.
Philadelphia, and asked what could be
done. The company said If an asso-
elation was formed In accordance with
the Boykin law, the wire could be had
under the same conditions that I had It.
"That Is. the office rent should be
„ ild, the operator paid, with a nominal
cost for the wire. The whole would
amount to about 12,000. I had then
decided to locate In Washington city,
and, of course, had no Interest In the
xised exchange personally, caring
e whether the proposition of the
Randolph Company be accepted or
that of tho chamber of commerce.
T notified those who had come to
me, however, of what the Randolph
Company offered. One can see that
this did not affect me In the least, as
would not be In Atlanta after Janu
ary 1, when the proposed exchange Is
to start business.”

Dear Professor Bagwell—It la
with much pleasure that 1 give
my hearty Indorsement to both
your college and the Chartier sys

After six weeks' actual attend
ance and without previous knowl
edge of any system of shorthand,
I was able to accept a position as
stenographer with the George

you kindly secured for me. As far
aa I know, I am giving perfect sat

Dear Sir—I want to add my tes

practical worth, Qf .Chartier. Short
hand. I studied the Pitman sys
tem about three months, but my
progress was so alow and dis
couraging I/was induced to enter
your college'to tako up the Char
tier system. The work was de
lightful from the first day I began,
and after only five weeks’ study
I nm able to take about 100 words
per minute and transcribe my
notes without difficulty.
1 will accept a position In the
ordinary's office on. November 1.
I I will tnke pleasure In recommend-
i mending both the Chartier system

tunity.
You have taken an Interest In
my work and have done more than
you promised to do, for all of
which I am very appreciative.
Very respectfully,

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 26, 1906.
To Whom It May Concern:
I have been attending Bagwell'a
Business College now six weeks,
and can take rapid dictation with
ease. I am satisfied that Chartler's
Is the easiest and the best short
hand system In existence; that It
can be comprehended In . a shorter
time, written faster, can be read
more easily than any other sya-
tem. Every character Is made so
plain that one can not help but
grasp It readily. I have found It
to be all that It had been recom
mended to be, and will advise any
one who wishes to take up a busi
ness course to visit this college by
all means. •
Very respectfully,

To Whom It Moy Concern:
After a six-weeks' study of
Chartier Shorthand I can easily
tako dictation at the rate of one
hundred, words per minute.
I have studied other systems, but
find that tho Chartier system ns
taught at Bagwell's Business Col
lege Is by far superior to them all.
I feel sure that I will. In a short
time, be capable of holding a good
position. I advise any one who
wishes to take a business courso to
enter this school.
Very respectfully.

To Whom It May Concern:
Having had some experience with
the Pitman! c systems of short
hand I am prepared to say that
the Chartier system Is far superior
to them all In point of simplicity,
rapidity and legibility,
I have been studying shorthand
at Bagwell's Business College for
seven weeks and can take dictation
at the rate of 100 words per min
ute.
I feel that 1 can safely eay that
the corps of teachers employed at
this Institution cpn not be ex
celled In the South. I would most
earnestly recommend this Institu
tion to any one who desires to
take a business course.

ADOPTED BY 146 LEADING
BUSINESS COLLEGES
OF AMERICA.
No shorthand system has ever
attracted such widespread Inter
est and attention In so short a
time; 146 of the biggest and best
business colleges of the United
States have adopted Chartier
Shorthand during the past two
years. This fact alone Is a liv
ing contradiction of anything that
may be said against It by (hose
who are barred from teaching It.
Our competitors are not expected
to praise It; that would be bod
business policy. The only thing
they can do Is to "knock" It—to
raise the cry, “No good.”
