HE SOUTHERN
ANSWERS THE CHARTIER
Exposes Its Evasion of the
Original Proposition.
To the Public:
In order to prove the abeurdttjr of the
claims of the Chartler system, we, on
June 22, challenged the advocates of
that system to verify said claims. On
June IS they published what purported
to be an acceptance of our challenge,
but It will be seen from our answey be.
tow that It was not an acceptance, but
an evasion. On the same day of their
publication a telegram brought the sad
Intelligence of the death, from hydro
phobia, of the little child of our Mr;
Arnold. We at once talephoned the ad-
vocate of the Chartler system the cir
cumstances, and stated that we would
cease all hostilities until our Mr. Ar
nold, who had been conducting the cor
respondence, should hare sufficiently
recovered from the terrible shock. Mr.
Arnold, a tender and devoted father,
crushed and bowed down as we have
never seen man. Is still absent, trying
to regain his strength, and, yet, the
managers of the Chartler syste/n. so
Mr. Chartler, author and publisher of
the text book of Chartler shorthand.

Shorthand and Business University and
endeavored to get said Southern Short-
hand and Business University to adopt
the said Chartler system of shorthand,
. . **ld oiler was promptly de
clined because, after examining the
system. It was found to be an > ex
ceedingly Inferior and unphllosophlcal
system.
The deponent, A. C. Briscoe, further
says that he dictated an ordinary com
mercial letter to said Chartler, who was
not able to receive dictation at a speed
exceeding thirty-live words per min
ute, and that the said Chartler was un
able to read his notes Intelligently.

all the proprieties of life, and violated
the first principles of business ethics
by publishing. In glaring headlines, that
the Southern has failed to meet them.
If for no other reason than their en
tire disregard of the amenities of life,
wherein they have lifted the pall* of
death, and have taken advantage of the
grief of a stricken father, this alone
would cause us to cease communica
tion with the managers of the Cbar-
tler system, but we think that the an
swer we give below will fully expose
them and prove that they have not met
the main Issue at stake.
The public may rest assured that
when a system of shorthand Is Invent
ed which Is better than Graham, Mun
son or Pittman we shall be the first
to adopt same. The Chartler system
was offered to us, but .we declined It
because of Its Inferiority. We have
seen mushrooms rise In a night and
die In a day.

Personally appeared before me the

time that the said Chartler, author and
publisher, was In the office of the
Southern Shorthand and Business Uni
versity, and heard him solicit Mr. A. C.
Briscoe, president, to adopt the - said
Chartler system of shorthand. The de
ponent further says that he questioned
said Chartler as to the merits of his
system of shorthand, and was con
vinced, from said conversation, that
the said system was notably Interior
to the Graham system.

Atlanta, Ga.. July It, 1906.

undersigned, A. C. Briscoe, president of
the Southern Shorthand and Business
University, who, upon oath, says that,

Atlanta, Ga.. July 16, 1906.
Mr. J. O. Bagwell, President, Atlanta,
Ga.
Dear Sir: Upott receipt of your favor
of the 18th ult. we at once telephoned
you that, on account of the death of
the child of Mr. L. W. Arnold, vice
president, we would cease all “hostili
ties'* until Mr. Arnold should recover
from the shock. Imagine our surprise
at the glaring head-lines published In
the papers of today and Saturday.
Comment Is unnecessary-
We now beg leave to state that, of
the four propositions we made to you.
the first was that you would produco a
writer who could receive our dictation,
100 words per minute, of new matter
(not practice matter) after three weeks'
Instruction In your school. You Im
mediately answered that If we would
allow dictation from practice matter,
you would accept the proposition. Of
course this was declined.
You then, on June II, by trying to
place a wrong construction upon the
fourth proposition, and knowing that
you could not comply with our first
proposition, came back at us with a
counter-proposition, namely, that we
enter Into contest a pupil of our school
with a pupil of your school after thirty
days' Instruction or less. You knew at
the time that for us to accept Buch a
proposition would be to Indorse your
method of teaching and* make our
selves liable to the ridicule of all right
thinking people. Every teacher knows,
and the business profession Is aware,
violation of every principle
gogy. Because, occasionally,
peda
gogy. jseesuse, ucvasiuuiuiy, some
jrlght pupil makes a wonderful record
within a few weeks. It would be unjust
to the public to endeavor to create the
Impression that all do this. We have
these exceptions, but It does not fol
low that all pupils oan make the same
records. Your text-book contains
more than 100 rules and sub-divisions
of rules, and yottr alphabet Is more
complicated and difficult than the
Graham alphabet, and yet you would
have the public believe that your pu-
>11* can master all of these rules and
ake dictation In new matter at a re
markable rate of speed within ten days
after entering your school. It was to
expose this unreasonable claim that
we offered the prise, and It has served
Its purpose. You absolutely failed to
accept our llrst proposition and you
cannot shift to another proposition.
You have failed to'comply with our
first proposition and we decline to con
elder the matter further.
Yours very truly,
SOUTHERN SHORTHAND AND
BUSINESS UNIVERSITY.

Then the keeper closed the door of

New York, July 16.—Harry K. Thaw
learned today that Benjamin Thaw, hla
half brother and the head of-the Thaw
family, who le worth 825,000,000, has
refused to give trim a dollar to aid In
tt)e defense either now or .when he
comes to trial.
To top this unwelcome news came
the Information from Pittsburg that all
Thaw’s other millionaire relatives had
also deserted him-In hie present predic
ament, and that not a cent of all the
other half brother*’ and half sisters
fortunes would be at hie disposal.

'Harry Kendall Thaw has placed

Jamln Thaw, to the messenger that was
s6nt quietly to Pittsburg to ask the
letter's help. “He alone It responsible
for hie present trouble and ha will have

There waa no Qualification of thnt
statement, and It waa repeated In sub
stance by all the other members of
th* Thaw family to whom Harry
Thaw’s secret messenger applied. These
are all the children of the first wife of
William Thaw, Harry's father, and It
was said today that they hava nothing

It wee all the more anxiously, there

GOVERNOR'S SPECIAL
MESSAGETOASSEMBLY
Governor Terrell sent a special me*
sage to the general assembly Monday
morning, calling attention to the condi
tions existing aa regards the convict
funds In th* eight new counties.
He says ttfat legislation la necessary
for rearranging the apportionment In
both the new countlee and tb* old
counties from which territory was cut
off. The recent controversy between
Burke and Jenklna over this fund called
attention to the existing condition.
Governor Terrell say* that under th#
law now In force the prisen commis
sion has no authority to apportion tht
fund. This Is manifestly unfair, he
says, but there is no way to correct
It until the general aesembly passes the
necessary law.
Whan this Is done, the state board of
education can take the school census of
the various counties, and then make
the aoDortionment.
Clifford W. Hart ridge, Thaw'* new
leading counsel, stated today that his
client was In th* most difficult poeltlon.
This 1* what he said:
“Thaw Is In a hols, and nobody real
Ise* It more than his present counsel.”
“Won't Be Convicted.”
This clearly Indicates that th* law
yer realises what danger the slayer of
Stanford Whit* faces, but It Is difficult
to reconcile th* statement with the fol
lowing: .
"As I stand her* as a man, I tell
you Harry Thaw will not be convicted
of anything,” said Mr. Hartrldg*. "I
tell you that now; I will stake my soul
on that. He does not want bis wealth
to make any dlffererica In his case, and
desires that he be tried aa any man Is
tried, poor or not."
It was not certain that tha old firm
whom Thaw dismissed without a mo
ment’s notice would be entirely elimi
nated from the defense.
Mother Vieits Thaw.
Mrs. Thaw, mother of Thaw and mil
lionaire** In her own right, after wait
ing nearly two day# In suspense, today
secured a pose to admit her to the
