BAGWELL BUSINESS COLLEGE
Bagwell’s Business College will show that It has prepared and placed in positions a greater number of competent
since June 1st than The Southern. Agrees to contest three students of the Chartier Against any three of The Southern.
Again challenges The
“Southern, ’’and proves su
periority of Chartier
Shorthand over Graham.
stenographers
Bagwell Business College has written the following letter to the
president of the Southern Business College:
Mr. A. C. Briscoe, President, Atlanta. Ga. Dear Sir: We note with
much amusement your belated circular which you have distributed over the
city in which you attempt to explain to the public why you failed to back up
vour 11,000 challenge which we'accepted in June.
Since you have gone to so much trouble and expense in attempting to
explain why you refused to enter the contest under your own proposition,
will you now be kind enough to still further explain why you refused to
accept our subsequent proposition In which we repeatedly proposed to con
tests six weeks pupil of the Chartier system against any threa months pu
pil of your school. After your refusal to enter the contest under your own
proposition, we made you the above proposition in order to prove that
your challenge was not made in good faith, and that you had no Inten
tion whatever to enter a contest which would enable us to demonstrate the
superiority of Chartier shorthand over the Graham system. We even went
so far as to 6ffer you $100 to accept this proposition.
Now, Mr. Briscoe, If Chartier Shorthand is as inferior as you would
have the public believe, why did you refuse to accept that proposition?
Are you really afraid to contest a three months* pupil against a six weeks'
pupil of the Chartier? You. recently published a list of students who you
claim mastered your system in from one to two months. They why should
you hesitate to enter such a contest, when you have been given every ad
vantage both In time and in the number of students fr^m which to select?
•*“ *“ BAGWELL RENEWS CHALLENGE.
You state In your belated circular that the Chartier school has been in
operation since June 1, and ask "Where are Its graduates?”
Now, in order to prove that Bagwell Business College has prepared and
placed in positions more pupils. In proportion to the number enrolled, than
your school, and in order that the public might know definitely whose pu
pils are best prepared, we make you the following propositions;
PROPOSITION NO. 1.
Each school will place on deposit $190. If you have prepared and
placed In positions more competent stenographers since June 1 In propor
tion to the number enrolled than we have, our deposit will be used in
purchasing scholarships. In your school. ' If we have prepared and placed
in positions more competent stenographers since Juno 1. In proportion to
the number enrolled, your deposit Ir to be used In purchasing scholar
ships In our school.

To Whom It May Concern:
It gives tne pleasure to state that I at
tended Bagwell's Business College and
School of Shorthand fifty-seven days, at tho
end of which period I was able to take dic
tation ln^ the ordinary transaction of busi
ness and have" been doing so ever'since
leaving the school.
I take pleasure lu cutuuiendjug chanter's

Bagwell Business College,
Atlanta, Ga.
Gentlemen: Replying to your favor, beg
to sny that T have l>oeti using Chartier
Shorthand for Court work for almost it
year, and find that It meets every require
ment. from the point of view of speed
and legibility. I am tislug the system Just
ns I learned it while a student, without
any additions lu the way of word signs or
contractions.
I hare never studied any other system of
shorthand, and. therefore, atu not lu a po
sition to pass Judgment upon relative mer
its of Chartier ami other systems. How
ever, I have taken testimony side by side
with writers of other systems, and in each
Instance met wltl) less difficulty in read
ing my notss.
I recommend Chartier Shorthand to you
highly. ,It Is easy to learn, easy to writo
and easy to reud, ami at the tame time It,
Is so perfect that It meets every demand
made upon It. Very truly yours.
M. A. 8T. ItOMAIN.
If you desire to enter a business college that teaches the most practical and up-to-date systems, and
vhere you will receive courteous treatment, we would be glad to furnish prices and full particulars.
BAGWELL BUSINESS COLLEGE,
198 PEACHTREE STREET/
ATLANTA, GA.
If you really desire to know where
the-"graduates of the Chartier system
are," accept the above proposition.
Proposition No. 2. «
, Each school will deposit $100 us
above. The Southern Business College
will select any three of Its pupils who
enrolled since June 1, without a pre
vious knowledge of shorthand, to con
test publicly against three -pupils who
entered Bagwell Business College since
June 1, and who had never studied
shorthand prior to that date. I^ the
Graham pupils are more proficient In
speed, In writing and In accuracy in
reading shorthand, our deposit will be
used to purchase scholarships In your
school. If the Chartier pupils excel
the Graham students, your deposit will
be used to purchase scholarships In
our school. A committee who will*
have full and final authority will con
duct the contest, rending entirely new
matter selected by them. This gives
you five months’ time, and will, there
fore, avoid the necessity of your ,"vio
lating the rules of pedagogy',” which
you have claimed would make you lia
ble to the rldlctib of the public.
Now. Mr. Briscoe, you have written
a voluminous circular denouncing
Chartier shorthand—a system you have
never taught and cannot teach. You
are called upon to test the relative
merits of Chartier and Grahutu short
hand not by patented phrases, but In a
manner which the general public can
understand and appreciate.
You have spared no effort of In
sinuation or denunciation. We have
made you offers us fall* «s \ve know
how to word them. We now demand
that you give evidence of -the courage
of your convictions. We owe it to
ilir'v.Ming p.'npl. i.f thi- » -imiiv !■»
have this matter settled once and for
all time.
What will you do about it?
In Justice to Bagwell- Busin**-•<
lege and to the public whom we both
serve, we hope to receive an Immediate
acceptance of th* above offers.
Respectfully.

have refrained from appearing In the
public prints many times, when 1 could
have done so with, perfect propriety,
matters touching the waterworks man
agement being under discussion, but I
dislike notoriety of that kind. The
anonymous card, however. Is of such a
character that to Ignore It and leave it
unanswered might leave the Impres
sion on the minds of some people that
shore was some truth In the charges or
Insinuations contained In It. or that
there tv as some foundation on which
to base. these charges. It is unneces
sary for nle to go Into a defense of the
enter department bn this.line, for to nil
uf,Prejudiced people of ordinary Intel
ligence It . will at once be seen that
there could be no possible Incentive for
anyone connected with the department
•to act dishonestly as between the pub
lic and the department. The water
works Is owned by the people; It Is
their property, und ruri for their bene
fit., Tho hoard of water commission
ers, who are the managers of this pub
lic service, are all gentlemen of high
standing and of unblemished character
In this community. They serve the
city faithfully and unselfishly, and re
ceive no compensation whatever for
their service.
So far as I know, no complaint has
ever, been made to the department that
has not received prompt and careful
consideration and been corrected. The
writer of tills card suggests that you
open your columns to anonymous
writers to deni with these questions.
This Is the way of the assassin. I
such a policy was adopted by any rep
utable paper, no one's character or
reputation would be safe In this com
munlty. If anyone has a complaint
against the department, let him be mail
enough to make It known to the au
thorities, and then If he does not re
ceive tho proper treatment, he cun lay
It before the publlr and sign Ills name
to It, without resorting to-tho cowardly
alternative of assassinating the char
acter and reputation of people under a
nom de plume.
The writer of the-card published in
your paper endeavored to explain to
tne what he really meant, but I must
cr .lless that what he said to me and
what he wrote In Ills original card, and
also in his letter of explanation to me,
Is so much at variance that It Is Im
possible for me to recoliclle one with
the other.
I furnish you herewith the original
card, together with the letter or ex
planation, which I,request that you
publish In parallel columns together
with this card of mine, and let the peo
ple draw their own conclusions ns to
What he did mean.

IS THE PUBLIC SATISFIED WITH
THE .MANAGEMENT OF CITY’S
WATERWORKS?
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Your paper on yesterday afternoon
contained a very full and complete ar
ticle, showing the profits of the water-'
works system of this city. It was a
oiosf gratifying report, and one which
every citizen of Atlanta would feel sat
isfied with If It were oot for a popular
opinion on the part of many water
consumers that lie meters are improp
erly read, and, that consumers are
charged unfulr and exorbitant prices,
not’based on the water they consume,
but based on the disposition on the purl
of those In charge of the management,

Now, let us get the facts. Are the
nmiorlty of the |>enple of .Atlanta sat-
sllleil with tho prices which are charged
them for water? I do not mean the
price per thousand gallons, for this Is
placyd at a moderate rate, but about
the reading of the meters.
It Is my Impression that If you open
your columns and usk for expressions
on this subject, promising not to pub
lish or divulge mimes (if those com
plaining. It will be a surprise to you tn
know how many people In this dty be-
lleve they are unfairly dealt with ns to
the amount of water they consume.
When they complain to the proper
authorities, itre these matters rectified?
Are they satisfied?
I do not care for you to use my
name In connection with this, but slm'-
ply to throw out this suggestion, ns It
Is a subject In which the public Is very
much Interested and beura directly
upon the platform you liuve .adopted—:
that Is, the satisfactory management of
the public ullllltles under tho control
und ownership of the city.
Personally, I have never arrived at a
definite decision ns to my position on
the subject of the municipal owner
ship. It I* u broad question and there
1* ample argument for ami against the
proposition.
1 wish to congratulate your, paper
for the reputation which It has earncil

journal.
I wish for you the success which you
deserve. Yours truly,

Atlanta, Ga„ Nov. 8. 1606.
Dour Kir: Referring to conversation
of last evening, would request that you
kindly explain to all of the gentlemen
connected with the water department
who are laboring under the Impression
that the note which was published by
The Georgian was Intended as an at
tack on your department or on them;
that this wits not my Intention In writ
ing the note, nor wss the note written
for publication.
The winding was unfortunate and
did not convey my ideas. The note was
not signed by me, hut was under nom
de plume, as 1 requested Mr. Heely
that should lie see tit Jo use any portion
of the note not to use my name In con
nection with same, ns I am opposed to
newspaper notoriety.
The nom de plume on note was plac
ed there by the paper.
Hud I any charges to make I would
not have resorted to anonymous
munlentions, hut would have signed
my article with my own name.
I cannot In a concise way outline In
this letter the Ideas which I Intended
to advance when addressing note to
Mr, Heely, hut I explained them to you
fully last evening,* and I would appre
ciate if you would outline them to any
one connected with the water works
department who feels that the note
hns In any way refiected upon them.
I have myself never hail any cause
criticise the water department In
any dealings 1 have lmd with them, hut
have always found them manifesting
a disposition to adjust any difference))
In a satisfactory manner.
Regretting very much the unfortunate
