ADVOCATES OF CHARTIER SYSTEM
ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE OF 8,000
Propose to Prove Every Claim Made and Will
Enter Pupils Under Conditions Advan
tageous to Competitor to Demon
strate Superiority.
The president of Bagwell’a Business
College and School of Shorthand, 191
Peachtree street, this city, accepts an
open challenge of II,Odd Just mads by
a competitive school, and ha proposes
to prove by actual taata every claim
which ha haa made for the new Char-
tier syatem of tborthand, which he la
teaching.
The claim wag made by both Mr. L.
Bpencer, president of the Chartler
Spencer Publishing Company, and J.
O. Bagwell, president of Bagwell's Bus
iness college, that pupil* of ordinary
abllty would, after one week's study,
write 100 words per minute (practice
matter) and read thslr notes without
hesitation.
We anticipated that some might be
akeptlcal to out claim, eo wa Invited
the public. A large number attended,
and if any were not satisfied that the
claims had been fully met they nevar
let the fact-be known. Every one ex-
pretard surprise and amassment at the
reiults obtained. It Is somewhat sig
nificant that our doubting competitors
above referred to did not attend the
demonstration td see for themselves If
the fact* had been misrepresented.
Proposition No. 1.
His first proposition Is as follows:
‘It was stated In hts advertisement
that pupils would write ICO words per
minute after one week’s trial course.
has .been three weeks sfitce hla
class commenced, and If he will now
produce a pupil who had no knowledge
of shorthand prior to June 4, who will
take our dictation In average com
mercial matter at the rate of 100 words
per minute for three consecutive min
utes, and read the same back correct
ly, we will give him 1160."
We accept thla proposition with th#
understanding that he confine himself
to the statement of our claims as origi
nally made by us which appeared In
the dally papers, and are aa follows:
“A few days ago Mr. L. C. Bpencer,
who Is demonstrating the new Char
tler system of shorthand at Bagwell's
Business College, 191 Peachtree street,
made ths astonishing and almost In-
credlbla claim that he could teach pu
pils of ordinary ability In one week's
time to write his system at the rate
of 100 words per minute (practice
matter) and to J-ead their notes read
ily. The public Is cordially Invited to
attend-the demonstration-and see for
themselves the wonderful rseults ob
tained. Court reporters and profes
sional stenographers of the city have
Investigated It, and all have pronounc
ed It a marvelous system. Mr. Spen
cer Invites criticisms and comparisons
with other systems.”
Proposition No. 2.
“If he will produce a better quail
iled stenographer In the Chartler sys
tem after ONE YEAR’S STUDT than
haa been and can be produced by the
Southern Shorthand and Business Uni
versity In SIX MONTHS we will give
him 1160."
We accept tbs above proposition, but
confine our competition to what ha can
do and not to what he has done.
Proposltipn No. 3.
If, at the end of three months he will
produce a better qualified stenographer
and typewriter operator than has been
and can be turned out by ths Southern
Shorthand nnd Business University
three months' time, we will give him
1160.
We accept thla proposition.
Proposition No. 4.
If he will produce a better stenogra
pher after any period of study than
has been and can be produced by the
Southern Shorthand and Business Uni
varsity within a corresponding period
of time, we will give him 1260.
We accept thla proposition uncondi
tionally. Wa are now ready to make
the test and we will proceed to arrange
for the selection of Judges Immediately.

Birmingham, Ala., June 22.—Despite
denials to the contrary, everything In
the Birmingham district Indicates that
ther* la n trade war on pet ween the
Sloss-Shefflcld Steel and Iron Company
and the Tennessee-Republlc companies.
Which recently consolidated. The pur
pose of the war, If the big rut In prices
really means that a war exists, is said
to be a movement on the part of tha
Tennessee-Republlc companies to force
th* Blose-Sheffleld Company to sell Its
controlling stoqlb^H^^S^^^^^^H
In the face of existing conditions, and
practically forced to meet the reduction
of No. 2 foundry Iron, which has
dropped from $14 to 112.60 per ton, and
even lower, tt Is claimed, the Slosa-
Sheffleld Company, through J. C. »I«-
ben, th* prealdent. declare* that John
W. Oatea nor any one ela* connected
with the Republic or Tennesaae com
panies, has approached hla company
with a view to buying the controlling
stock of tha Hlosa-Sheffleld Company.
He says that If tha Tenneaaae-Republlc
merger Baa sold Iron at til par ton,
th* product has been sold at a price
less than Is necessary.
Prior to the cut mad* lest Thuridey
by the Bios* people an agreement ex
isted between the Sloes people end th*
Tennessee-Republlc companies not to
sell No, 2 foundry Iron for leu than
214 per ton. The agreement was to run
for thirty days aa an experiment, but
was extended to sixty days on account
of the absence of John A. Topping,
chairmen of the Tenneuee Coal. Iron
and Railroad Company. Further dls-
cusslon of rate* ware raised the latter
pelt of last week when a tales agent
of the Tennessee Company reached
Birmingham from the Pittsburg dis
trict. It waa brought out that tha
‘ Birmingham companies, not In
tha agreement, were selling Iron at
112.60 per ton. There were a number
of meetings between the big compa
nies the first of this week, end Thurs
day It was officially announced that the
Slou-Bheffleld Company would sell
Iron at 211-60, for the purpose of meet
ing the cut of the small concerns.
"There wax really no decline In th*
market,” aeld Prealdent Maben, of th*
Blou Company, today in telling about
the notice sent to agents throughout
the country to sell for $11.60. “While
we were quoting Iron at 214 per ton wo
were not selling any great amount,
owing to th* cut made by othera, ana
we decided to sell at 212.60. We have
made some good sale* and have other
contracts pending.

Mr. Maben explained that there la
only 10,600,000 preferred stock In the
Sloss-Sheffleld Company, which Is held
for Investment. He aaya that there has
not been much trading In thla stock
for three weeks, and that there la never
much tranuctlon In it. There has been
considerable trading In common stock,
ha says, but this has bean continu
ous In the ume stock.
With the announcement that the bot
tom haa fallen out of iron, repruenta-
ttves of big teUIng agencies In all
parts of th* country are coming to

tigation ^of conditions. They report
that they canont find the $11 Iron, but
