alities in the state. It is noted for refinement, culture
nd beauty, Terrell Park is by nature superior to any
laee near Atlanta. Here you can buy a lot at a very

On Historic Ground
t
One of the memorable battles of the recent “War Between the States”
was the Battle of Atlanta, fought on July 22,1864, General Hood command
ing the Confederate forces on one side, General Sherman the Federal forces
on the other. In one day 15,000 men were killed, wounded and captured. A
portion of this terrific battle took place in East Atlanta, where today no one
would suspect that it were possible for such a conflict to have been enacted,
where-now Buch peaceful scenes exist and tho march of modern urogress is
in evidence. (
The contending forces under General McPherson, General Walker, Gen
eral Hardeo and Genera Cleburne, fought out thpir differences along what is
now known as the Decatur and East Lake car lines, Whiteford Ave (for
merly Bell St.) and East Fair St., one-half mile east of the city limits of At
lanta. In this fierce struggle Generals McPherson and Walker were killed.
Leggitt’s Hill, the scene of one of the hardest struggles, is located in the
woods along East Fair St., near Whiteford Ave. and the county line road.
Where, at that time, the war spirit and the grim reaper, Death, held high
carnival, filling the streets and ground with human blood, and where the
hurling shells and screaming cannon balls plowed their way
NOW ANOTHER PICTURE
is presented in striking contrast to the above. Spring lias dressed the trees
with a rich green foliage and brought out the fresh grass and bright flowers.
The electric cars are humming in every direction. Citizens no longer feel
any bitterness, but are .filled with the milk of human kindness.
PEACE AND PLENTY ARE ABROAD IN THE LAND.
The buzz of the saw and the ring of the hammer are everywhere seen
and heard in the building of new houses, churches, schools, etc.
IT IS ON THIS HISTORIC GROUND
where the big auction sale will take place next Saturday, May 4th.
EVERYBODY IS INVITED •
to go out with us, attend this auction sale, ai;d see this famous battle
ground. Ladies cordially invited.
REFRESHMENTS WILL BE SERVED ON THE GROUND AT 2:30 P. M.

RAILROAD WARD A7 GRADY;
PRESIDEN7 P. S. ARK W RIGHT
EXPLAINS HIS POSITION
Following the recent discussion be.
fore the trustee* of Grady hospital,
regarding the proposition of the rail
ways and electric company to build
railroad ward, Preston 8. Arkwright,
president of the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company, has given out a
statement regarding the railway's poel.
tlon on the subject, and calling at
tention to the fact that such a ward
would not be for the exclusive uie of
the rallwuys,‘though their patients
should be given priority In the new
ard.
Mr. Arkwright's statement follows:
"When a person le Injured on the
streets of Atlanta and needs Immediate
surgical treatment he Is entitled to
be taken, and la taken, to the Grady
hospital. The fact that he Is Injured
In connection with the street care, or
■team cars or In factories In the city
doe* not change hi* tights or tho duty
of the hospital to him. In a majority
of such cases the person so Injured le
without financial ability. Ho Is, there
fore, strictly a charity patient. The
street railroad company, or the steam
railroad company or the factory le
under no legal obligation, to furnish him
surgical nr medical treatment. They
may be. depenedtn upon whether the
injury is caused by their negligence
or not, liable to him In damages for
such Injury.
"In a great number of cases the In
Jury le caused by the person's own
negligence or by pure accident, and
in that event the street railroad, or
steam railroad or factory Is not liable
to him for anything. In any event, the
person Is suffering, Is In danger and
need* Immediate attention and treat
ment, and cannot pay for It. If he can
not be sent to the Grady hospital then
It certainly falls to perform the pur
pose for which It wos established. In
many Instances, the Injured party can
not even be Identified, and Is certainly
not able to give directions aa to Ills
treatment. Common humanity requires
that some one step In and care for him.
These Injured people are sent to the
Grady hospital.
Road Pay* Expenees,
The difference between the patient
Injured Ifi connection with the street
cars, the steam railroads or the fac
lories and one Injured otherwise, when
sent to the Grgrty hospital. Is that In
the former case* the expense of treat
ment plus a profit Is paid to the hos
pital by the street railroad, the steam
railroad or the factory, aa the case may
be. and the person la treated while at
the hospital-by a surgeon employed
and paid by the company. In the other
case* the expense Is boms entirely by
the city and the patient Is treated by
volunteer physician.
“This question was under considera
tion by the board of trustees of the
Grady hospital at a meeting held In De
cember. It was generally conceded that
the hospital would have to take care
of all these patients, but It was stated
that the facilities were limited.* There
upon. without consuttstlon with any
one. I suggested that I believed the
street railroad, the steam railroads and
factories would be willing to provide
additional facilities ot the hospital by
furnishing to the board of trustee* a
ward upon plans to be submitted by the
board of trustees. This ward, while
paid for by these companies, to be a
part of the hospital and owned by the
city.
Proposal of Roads.
"I was asked to take It up with the
steam railroads and others. It was
discussed with a few of them, and Mr.
Thompson and I went aa a committee
to the board of trustees to agree upon
the details of the plans, so we could
submit to the other companies exactly
what would bo required In order that
we could Induce them to contribute to
ward the building of this ward. The
ward we have In mind will provide ac
commodations for thirty-six patients.
The average number of patients In the
Grady hospital Injured In connection
with the Southern railway has been
about three, and the average number In
the Grady hospital Injured In connec
tion with the street car company has
been from one to two, It was not pro
posed that this ward should be exclu
sively devoted to this class of patlente,
but simply that prior rights In the
ward should be granted to patients In
jured In connection with the properties
of the companies contributing to the
building of the ward; that subject to
this condition It would be open to gen
eral use as n part of the Grady hospital
for any and all persons. The compa
nies, while building the ward, were still
to pay for each patient In the ward In
jured In connection with their proper
ties and the only privilege they asked
was that those patients should be treat
ed by surgeons of their own salectlon,
which surgeons would be paid by them,
and could, therefore, be required to
give the best of attention.
"Dr. Longlno. who was not a member
of the board of trustees when the orig
inal suggestion was made, stated that
It seemed to him to be a scheme on the
part of these railroads and street rail
road companies to build a hospital for
their own uec and get the city to con
tribute land that would otherwise cost
them $106,000, and deprive himself and
the other doctors from getting these
patients and getting pay for treating
them. I ain sure that when I made the
suggestion I had no such motive, and 1
believe every member of the hoard
then present would testify to the fact
that this accusation Is entirely unjust.
If It Is not desired to have this ward
built, why certainly we would not In
sist upon It. though we are willing, if
the hospital board so desires, to stand
up to the proposition we made."
