SIX WEEKS 1 PUPIL CHAUTIER
SHORTHAND HOLDS HIGH POSITION
Young James Beattie,
Private Secretary to
Seaboard Official.
Bagwell Ridicules L. W. Ar
nold’s Excuses For De
clining to Accept
$1,000 Chal
lenge.
It Is very unusual for a boy 16 years
of airs to hold so responsible a position
as that now held by Mr. James Bent-
tie. son of Dr. George A. Beattie, a
prominent Presbyterian minister of this
city. Young Mr. Benttle holds the posi
tion of secretary to the General In
dustrial Agent of the Seaboard railway.
Mr. Beattie's brilliant success In the
business world offers the highest proof
of the efficiency of Chsrtler Shorthand,
which he studied only six weeks at
Bagwell Business College. 198 Peach-
tree-st. Prior to accepting this posi
tion he had only about three months'
experience ns stenographer with the
George Muse Clothing Company. After
studying shorthand Mr. Beattie spent
one year In the Boys' High School,
graduating* In June. 1907. Unlike the
old systems, Chsrtler Shorthand, when
once mastered, although temporarily
laid aside, Is not easily forgotten.
What it Claimed for Chartier Short
hand.
Old-line schools. In their efforts to
discount Chartier Shorthand, have
misrepresented our claims for It. While
a very large per cent of the pupils of
Bagwell Business College accept good
positions with leading Arms after six
to twelve weeks' study, the school does
not claim to make a finished stenogra
pher of evety pupil In six weeks, but It
has been demonstrated beyond the
shadow of a doubt that Chartier Short
hand makes a more competent stenog
rapher in from two to four months less
time thsn Is required for the old Plt-
manlc systems, thus saving about one-,
half the time and $100 to 3300 on the
course. It requires, on the average,
from six to sight months to make a
competent stenographer with the old
systems. The same results can be ob
tained with the Chartier System In
three to four months.
Because Chartier Shorthand Is so
easy to Itern and can be mastered with
so much less study than Is required for
the old systems, the student Is afforded
ample time for typewriting practice
and the study of all the other branches,
which are absolutely necessury In order
to become a high-grade stenographer.
A Standing $1,000 Challenge.
Bagwell Business College has pro
posed to deposit $1,000 In any bank to
be given to the Associated Charities of
Atlanta. If It can not be shown In pub
lic contest, before disinterested Judges,
that students of Chartier Shorthand are
more competent stenographers nfter
one. two, three and four months' study
than students of the Graham apd other

PORTSMOUTH. Vn.. Feb. 19. 1908.
Mr. J. O. Bagwell. Atlanta. Ga.: .
(Extract.)
Dear Sir—Referring to your letter of
nebruary 7. I beg to say that Sfr. Seat
tle, who wns formerly In the employ of
the late Mr. Rlgham. of Atlanta, has
since the first of the year been holding
the position of Secretary to the Gen
eral Industrial Agent. HI* work has
proved very satisfactory Indeed, and he
seems to have no trouble whatever In
transcribing his notes.
Yours truly.
J. IV. WHITE.
General Industrial Agent. '
ANDERSON. Chief Clerk.
CHICAGO, March 2.—Judge Ball. In
the superior court, this morning denied
the petition of Henry W. Lehman, at
torney for the Fish Interests. In the
light for the control of the Illinois
; Central, for on Injunction restraining
I the Union Paclllc from voting 281,281
i shares of the Illinois Central stock,
held by the corporation, at the Illinois
Central election today.
There is now no legal Impediment to
• the election.
ASSASSINS STAB
T
old system*, providing the old-line
school accepting the challenge will de
posit a like amount under the same
conditions.
If the proprietors of the Southern
Business College believe what they say
about Chartier Shorthand, why have
they spent about $200 In the last two
weeks In a futile effort to discredit the
system? Why do they not accept this
challenge, which would settle the short,
hand controversy once for nil, and at
the same time, provide $1,000 for the
orphans and the unfortunates of the
city? If the system were as defective
as they would have the public believe,
they would have no risk to run. all to
gain and nothing to lose. As nn excuse
for avoiding the contest, they claim that
Bagwell Business College Is bluffing. If
the proposition is a bluff. It works like
a charm. They are "easy/' Why do
they not call the bluff by accepting the
challenge and forcing us to put up?
As another excuse to avoid the con
test, Mr. Arnold states he does not bet.
Bagwell Business College has no Inten
tion of betting. We have consulted
one of the leading attorneys of Atlanta,
who Informs us that the above proposl
tlon Is In no sense a bet.
Brother Arnold seems to be rather
pious of late. We wonder when he re
formed ?
Bookkeeping and Telegraphy.
Both of these departments are con
ducted by men of special ability, and
the beat results are obtained. Special
advantages are offered on combined
courses.
