BAGWELL BUSINESS COLLEGE
ENLARGES QUARTERS AND
INCREASES FACULTY
To Accommodate Large Enrollment Pop
ular School Adds 2,000 Square Feet
of Floor Space and Employs
Two New Teachers.
Splendid Results Secured
With the Famous Char-
tier Shorthand Respon
sible for Phenomenal
Growth and Suc
cess of the School.
In order to accommodate the largo
enrollment during July and August,
Bagwell Business College, 198 Peach
tree street, this city, has been com
pelled to add 2,000 square leet ot floor
space to Its shorthand department, and
to employ two new teachers. This
Is slgnlfleant when we consider that
July and August are the dullest months
ot the year In business college work.
The Timo of Making a Competent
Stenographer Reduced One-Half.
The rhenomenal growth and success
ot Bagwell Business College Is attribut
ed to the fact that the success of its
students has proved conclusively that
the highest class of stenographers can
be turned out with Chartler Shorth
In less than half the time required
with old systems.
Bagwell Replies to Criticism of Com
petltors.
In speaking of the misrepresents
lion of Chartler Shorthand by com
petltors and of the desperate efforts of
schools teaching old systems to stem
the tide of its growing popularity,
President Bagwell says:
"The unjust criticism of competitors
on Chartler Shorthand has failed of Its
purposh because the results secured
and the success of our students have
fully established every claim we have
made for the system. Many of our stu
dents are holding positions with the
leading Arms of Atlanta and other cities
after eight to twelve weeks’ courses,
and competitors only make themselves
ridiculous In the eyes of those who
know the facts when they deny that
equally asscompetent stenographers can
be made with Chartler Shorthand In
three monthe as with the old systems
In five tq six monthe. Anyone who
wishes to know can easily ascertain
the facts by making a little lnvestlga-
tl0n it's the Hit Dog That Howls.
"It Is easily understood that com
petitors would not waste so much
breath and expensive printers' Ink In
decrying Chartler Shorthand If It were
not getting results,
dence of the
It Is the best evi-
he superiority of the system
and of the success of Bagwell Business
College that could be offered.
Those Interested In shorthand should
not be misled by anything that schools
teaching old systems may say about the
Chartler system. They have not the
right to teach It. It la to their ln-
jjrest to fight It. and nobody expects
them to do anything else.
If competitors are really honest and
sincere In their criticisms and not sim
ply trying to mislead the public In
order that they may continue to sell
their antiquated wares, why do they
refuse to contest a six months student
of the old system against a three
months student of the Chartler? They
have been repeatedly challenged to con.
test and the challenge Is still open.
Eastman vs. Brisco, Ansted, Draughon.
Messrs. Briscoe, Ansted, Arnold,
Draughon et al. allege that Chartler
Shorthand has various and sundry
deficiencies. These gentlemen have
never taught Chartler Shorthand and,
therefore, do not speak from experience.
They are competitors- of the system. It
Is, therefore, to their Interest to fight It.
Mr. C. C. Gaines Is president of the
great Eastman School, Poughkeepsie,
N. Y., which Is the oldest and best
known business college In the United
States. He has taught Chartler Short
hand side by side with the Graham and
Pitman systems for two years, has
had an opportunity to compare results
and therefore speaks from experience.
He teaches both systems and, there
fore, speaks without prejudice. Mr.
Gaines says:
"From two to five months are sum
clent to make competent stenographers
with the ChaVtier system. To secure
the same result with any of the old
systems requires from five to eight
months. On the most conservative
basis the average student can save
from two to four months' time, and
$100, more or less, by taking the Char
tler system. It has equally as great
speed power os any other system and
is, therefore, as welt adapted to court
reporting work.” Which of the above
opinions deserves the most considera
tion? We have on file letters from the
{ residents of over one hundred of the
ending business colleges of the coun
try, making the same claims, which
tve will be glad to show to any one who
Is Interested.
Bookkeeping.
The Instruction in this department Is
In no sense theoretical. The students
engage In business at the beginning
and transact business with each other
Just as is done In actual business..
Office training, corporation and
voucher accounting, loose-leaf and card
systems, and all the latest time-saving
devices are carefully taught. The
courso embodies all the principles and
offers effective means for the student
to become a practical bookkeeper In
the shortest possible time.
Telegraphy.
This department Is under the man
agement of a practical operator and
teacher of seventeen years' experience.
Owing'to the great demand for opera
tors, which Is far In excess of the sup
ply. Telegraphy offers a most Inviting
field to young people of both sexes.

ELEVATOR ATTACKED
BY BRAIN STORM
Runs Away by Itself and
Smashes Things Up
Generally.
With a crash that could be heard
all over the building, an elevator In
the Temple Court office building went
wild Friday morning at 19:20 o'clock,
and went skyward.
No one'was In It at the time and no
one seemed to know why It decided to
begin operations. It went wrong while
one of the other elevators was going
up with women among Its passengers,
anil these hastily left their ear at the
first stop. .
With the crash, there was the break
Ing of a water pipe and the hydraulic
apparatus sent several large streams of
water over the first and second floors.
In a short time the elevator de
scended, unmanned, with two of Its
wire cables loose, and struck the bot
tom of the shaft. Then It recovered It
self and started up. It stuck between
the first and second floors.
The elevator had been out of com
mission and none of the employees
seemed to know what caused It to go
up and then come down. It was said
by employees that the crash was made
by one of the weights becoming de
tached from two of the wire cables and
falling.

AT THE THEATERS
At the Casino.
Friday night, and matinee and night
on Saturday will concrude the engage
ments of a collection of decidedly clever
vaudeville performers, who have played
to the capacity of the Casino all the
week.
The attraction Is one of the best of
the season and has served to put the
Casino on the high standard
plane of which Its management Is
deservedly proud. It has been a dlf-
ucult task to secure Just the right sort
of vaudeville.
With a group of clever players, come,
liana and comediennes, clever dancers.
Pleasing vocalists, and a number of
charming chorus girls, the Wills Musi-,
ral Company comes to Atlanta next
week to nil on engagement at the Fonco
DeLeon Casino, presenting during the
week two of its most successful musical
tsree comedies, “A Trip to Atlantic
'-Ity,” and "Two Old Cronies."
Scats go on sale at the Bijou box
office on Friday.
In a petition filed In the Federal
court on Friday, the railroad commis
sion, through Attorney General John
C. Hart and Wlmblsh, Watkins & Ellis,
asked an order appointing Professor
Henry B. Adams, statistician of the
Interstate commerce commission, as an
expert lit the rate case litigation be
tween th» Central of Georgia and the
state.
In the petition It Is pointed but that
the ascertaining of the cost of Intra
state business and interstate business
and comparing these costs Is one that
presents mathematical propositions
and that It calls for the employment
of an expert. The court It asked to
appoint Professor Adams or another
disinterested expert of equal ability.
With this petition was tiled the an
swer of the Central through Lawton &
Cunningham, opposing the appoint
ment. It was declared the railroad com
pany had gone to considerable expense
In submitting its cass by expert evi
dence to Standing Master George L.
Bell, and that while Professor Adams
was a gentleman and a scholar, he had
no practical knowledge of the railroad
business. It Is suggested that If the
state wants Professor Adams, he should
be employed as an expert and put on
the stand.
Judge Newman signed an order for
the Central to show cause before him
In Asheville why the petition should not
be granted.

But Day and a Half Re
mains for Lots of
Work.
Senator John P. Knight believes that
practically all the Important reform
bills Introduced will be acted upon
before the expiration of the session
Saturday night.
It Is his view that the senate will
recede from Its poeltlon on the anti
lobbying bill. At the session Thurs
day evening notice was given the sen
ate that the house declined to accept
the amendments to the bill as mode
by the upper house.
He believes the house will accent the
Felder anti-pass bill. Ho Is of the
opinion also that the senate will ac
cept the house amendment to the dis
franchisement bill striking out the
time limit on the good character
clause.
The Candler railroad commission bill
will probably pass without Increasing
the number of the commission to five.
Up to Friday morning not a single
reform mensure, In completed form,
had passed both branches of the law
making body.
It Is the opinion of many senators
that both the antl-lobbylng and the
anti-pass bills will fall of passage, be.
cause of Inability of house and sen
ate to agree on the provisions of these
measures.
The bill for the benefit of the Income
bondholders of the Central will not get
through the senato, and there Is some
doubt now of action on the bill to
prevent the paralleling of the Western
and Atlantic railroad.
