"There’s a Reason’
to the bill, providing that the bill

sation,” In reference to representatives
of corporations seeking to Ihfluence

Mr. Hill, of Monroe, then spoke In
favor of the amendment offered by
himself and the gentleman from John
son.
Mr. Perry, of Hall, spoke In favor of
the original bill.
Mr. Slater, of Bryan, opposed the
measure upon the ground that It re
flected upon the Integrity of the mem
bers of the house. When Mr. Slater
referred to the statement that the
house had beep compared to a jury,
and If that were true, an officer should
be appointed as a guard, there was
much applause.
8pssker Calls Order.
“The chair would Inform those mem
bers who applauded that this Is no
crossroads political meeting,” said
Speaker Slaton. “Other questions will
arise In the house when the same gen
tlemen will claim that applause Is
Influencing the house against their side
of the question.*
Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, spoke In
favor of his amendment and In oppo
sition to the original bill.
During Mr. Dunbar's speech Mr.
Burwell, of Fannin, read an excerpt
from the Macon platform calling for
just such legislation tbe gentleman
from Richmond was opposing.
Following the coinage of the word
"ear-wig” in the house, meaning to
“speak to one In secret,” Mr. Nowell,
of Walton, offered an amendment
the bill, substituting the word "ear
wig" In the bill for the word “speak."
Mr. Boyd, of Spalding, spoke In fa-
vor of Mr. Dunbar's amendment
Mr. Dooly, of Heard, spoke In oppo
sttlon to the bill.
Mr. Butt, of Fannin, moved the pre
vlous question, which was sustained.
The author of the bill, Mr. Wright,
was allowed twenty minutes In which
to conclude the argument In favor of
the bill. The time was divided be
tween Mr. Hardeman, of Jefferson; Mr.
Adams, of Chatham, and Mr. Wright,
of Floyd. /
Upon the vote for the amendment of
Mr. Dunbar, Mr. Hall, of Bibb, called
for the ayes and Does. The call .was
sustained.
The amendmdbt was defeated by a
vote of 22 to 143.
The bill was passed by a vote of 139
to 0.
The bill to create on additional judge
fir the superior court of Fulton county,
Introduced by Messrs. Slaton, Black-
bum and Bell, was read the third time
and passed by a vote of 159 to 0.
The bill to amend the charter of the
city of Atlanta so as to ratify the Issue
of $600,000 worth of water bonds, In
troduced by the Fulton county delega
tion, was read tho third time and pass,
ed by a vote of 129 to 0.
The bill also strikes out the section
of the city code of 1899, which fixes
the retail whisky license at “any sum
not exceeding 12,000,” and fixes It at
32.000. it also fixes the price of .whole
sale whisky license at $1,000.

SMITH l HIGGINS
SUPPLY GOOD WATER
Messrs. Smith & Higgins, the west
side department store proprietors, don't
propose for their patrons and em
ployees to suffer by reason of muddy
water. The following notice Is placed
In conspicuous places over their store;
"To those of our help who perhaps
arc not informed ns to the quality of
the city water that is now being fur
nished, the firm begs to say that from
all reports gathered from the leading
physicians and the water board, that
the water Is dangerous and Is liable to
cause fever. If other kinds of water
can not be secured at home, It has been
advised by physicians that every drop
of the city water be boiled before It Is
drunk.
"Beginning today fresh spring water
will be used In tho store both for em
ployees and for customers until the
city water is properly Altered and ready
for use again. It w/1 be brought In

Advocates of Old 8ystems Challenged
to Contest,
So long as competitors fall to enter
conteat with every advantage In their
favor, the public will attach little lm
portance to their misleading statements
and deceptive comparisons. During
the past Bagwell Business College has
had a standing challenge to contest n
three months student of the Chartler
system against six months students of
any old system.
Deceptive Comparisons of Shorthand
Notes.
In the shorthand notes published a
few days ago, comparing the Chnrtler
and Graham systems, wo have another
Illustration of the methods by which
our competitor attempts to deceive the
public. In order to make a favorable
showing, the Graham notes were writ
ten In the shortest reporting style and
so highly phrased that even an expert
court reporter could not write it at a
rate of forty words per minute, while
the Chartler was written In the longest
correspondence style. Such shorthand
notes are utterly useless for any prac
tical purpose whatever.
A Fair Comparison.
Below Is given the Chartler and Gra
ham notes for the same matter both
written to the same scale. The Gra
ham notes nre taken from "The Pho
nographic World" for August, 1908.
pages 177 and 178, and were written
by an expert shorthand writer who la
among the leading advocates of this
system, so no one can say that the
comparison Is not a fair one.

Reading Graham Guess Work.
It will be seen from the transcripts
of the systems that the Chnrtler botes
can be read like print, while the read
ing of the Graham la simply a matter
of guess work.
Does it Stand to Reason
that over two hundred of the biggest,
best, oldest and moat conservative buil-
mas colleges of America, Including tho
great Boatman Colltge at Poughkeep
sie. N. Y„ would adopt this system, and
efter thoroughly testing If. would make
the same claims that Bagwell Business
College makes for tt. If these claims
were not true?
What's the Use
to spend from tlx to ten months In
studying any of the old Pltmantc sys
tems If you enn learn Chartler Short
hand in half tho time at half the ex-
Dense, und at the same time make a
better stenographer! Do you know
of any sensible mason why you should
do It? According to post records ninety
out of one hundred who take up‘tho
old systems of shorthand will havr-to
remain In college six to twelve months
or return home to suffer the chagrin of
failure and disappointment.

About Blue Serge
No wonder the major part of Muse’s business is the
conservative in clothing.
A man buys a summer suit here, and he knows
that his appearance is as good as bonded until the end
of summer.
Take it in blue serge—you hear much about “true
blue,” and “blue that don’t change color,” but how
little it means unless the tailoring and the style are
there to back it.
The part that insures the “life.”
It’s not only “true blue,” but true tailoring, too.
Here’s a warning: Without confidence buy blue
Serge carefully. Better still, don’t buy it at all unless
you are sure of it.
Blue Serge in Two
Piece Suits, $15 to $35
