Red Flag Hoisted. Wilkeabarre, Pa.. May 2.—A crowd of Italians at Old Forge holatarl a red dag and were making fiery speeches whei* the itate constabulary charged and dispersed them. No arrests were mad*. - 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.

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." 00000000000000000000000000 O P08TOFFICE RECEIPT8 0 8HOW LARGE INCREASE.
