WKhMM'.W. .11
CHARTIER ADVOCATE CHARGES SESSION IS EXTENDED
COMPETITOR BACKED DOWN TO PASS CONNOR BILL
Bagwell Answers Briscoe in
Reference to $1,000 Chal
lenge for Contest.
“I Am Still Anxious for the
Contest,” Says Bagwell.
"My Conditions Are Six
Weeks in Chartier Against
Three Months in Gra
ham.”
jlr. A. C. Briscoe, President, Atlanta.
Oa.
Dear Sir: We note your reply, ae
published In The Georgjan, July It, to
our letter of June 28," In which we
proposed to contest a .ten-day student
of chartier Shorthand against any
thirty-day pupil of your school.
Your refusal to enter the contest Is
so complete a backdown from your
orlflnal proposition, and It Is so ap
parent to all who hare followed this
controversy that you are begging the
Question, that we would conaltfer a re
ply entirely unecesaary, but for the
fart that you hare made a serious
charge against us, which we cannot
permit to pass unchallenged.
Tou have charged that In making
public your refusal to enter the con
test at the time we did and under the
circumstances Involved we have disre
garded the proprieties and the ameni
ties of life and have shown an utter
want of sympathy, and delicacy of feet-
ln The extreme delicacy of the matter
forbids us to repeat In an open letter
your statement of the facts upon which
this charge Is based even for the pur
pose of explanation and defense.
We desire to say that the personal
matter above referred to has no legiti
mate place In this discussion, and your
dragging It Into the controversy was
entirely uncalled for. Tour only rea
son for doing so was that you could
not back up your own proposition, and
YOU Wished to prejudice the public
against us personally and to detract the
attention from the main point at Issue.
Our proposition was made to the
Southern Shorthand and Business Uni
versity through you as Its president,
and not to any Individual. We waited
on you from June IS to July 15. There
was no earthly reason why you could
not have taken the matter up with us
at any time.
In taking advantage of the unfortu
nate circumstances In question to ex
tricate yourself from an extremely em
barrassing position, you yourself have
grossly disregarded the very proprieties
and amenities of life which you accuse
us of violating, and have shown your
self wanting In refinement and delicacy
of feeling which should have deterred
you from this course.
How long after your bombastic at
tack upon the Chartier system filled
with misrepresentations and with re
flections upon the sincerity and honesty
of those who teach It did you expect
us to wait! Old you expect us to keep
quiet until the public had forgotten
all about It, and then allow you to
come out ahd claim the victory? Our
honor as well as our Interest was In
volved. The public believes In a square
deal, and unless we are much mistaken,
your attempt to. muddy the water by
Injecting Into the controversy an Ir
relevant matter that should never have
been mentioned will receive the con
tempt It justly merits. .

At the Tuesday afternoon aesston of
the house Mr. Hall, of Bibb, elicited
considerable applause when he de
clared moat emphatically that tha peo
pie "wanted a new deal."
He waa referring specifically to the
present railroad commission, which tha
am'endment of 51 r. Perry, of Hall, waa
seeking to legislate out of office.
Thle amendment to abolish the pres
ent offleers was to the Kelly bill to
elect them by the people, as their aev
era! terme expired.
Judge Perry, of Hall, speaking
hla amsndment to the Kelly bill
elect the railroad commissioners by
the people—his amendment abolishing
the present commission, and conflnlng
the qualification of the new board to be
elected to three electors In the state—
made.the startling atatement that the
railroad commission Is ten tlmee more
Important to the atate than the office
of governor, even admitting that It was
more Important than the legislature
Itself.
“Nothing," 8ays Perry,
Representative Revill, of Meriwether,
wanted to know what the railroad com
mission had dona that he should wish
to' legislate them out of office.
"Nothing," quickly retorted Mr. Per
ry, and the laugh was on the gentle 1
man from Meriwether
Mr. Hall suggested that as the people
had put the commissioners In office,
they had the right to put them out,
while Mr. Wise, of Payette, waa In
clined to think that the campaigns for
these offices 'would be so expensive
that only rich'men would fill them.
“Change Can't Hurt.”
Mr. Hall again came to the fore,
emphaelilng the previous assertion
that the people could make or unmake
them with reason or without reason.
The people couldn't be hurt by the
change. The people can't get relief
from the commission, he contended, and
had a right to abolish It. The consti
tution of 1877, cutting the terms of
the then existing Judges, was died as
9 precedent, the terms of the supreme
court Judges being cut from 11 to '
years, and tf
cling tenaciously to old methods.-

Blalock Against Bill.
A call for the previous question by

against the measure.
He did not believe any good would be

purpose of having her son declared

Thaw Thrashed Girls.
Il was learned today that the -tilt
brought by Evelyn Nesblt, who Is now
Lira. Thaw, against Harry K. Thnw
before their marriage, was not for
breach of promise, but for “damages
for a beating administered by Thaw
with a rawhide whip.”
The discovery that Thaw had ever
been charged with beating wnmen with
a whip was In connection with the suit
brought by Lawyer Joseph A. 8h/n in
behalf of Ethel Thomas, as alreu.iy
published.
Tha same count of Information
which is authority for the statement
that the paper held by Lawyer Abo
Hummel In a suit la tha authoritv r r
