l TF I Is ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. iAi, AtliLbi 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. For further Information, address J. O. BAGWELL, 198 Peachtree street, Atlanta, Go, 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. WANT PROF, ADAMS FOR M EXPERT But Railways Say He Is a Gentleman, But Not An Expert. L AT THE THEATERS At the Casino.

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. NO CHANGE IN CONDITION OF DR. F. O. POWELL. TIME HASN'T COME HIGH'S HIGH'S HIGH'S HIGH'S He Declared That His Pol icy With Railroads Was to Pay Dividends. Reno, Nevada, Aug. 16.—E. H.

Lot No. 1 Lot No. 2 Lot No. 3 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. ■~!=EN' This lot presents some of the very newest styles In plain and pleated effects that will bo very popular tbls fall.'
