SHALL NOT THIS HOHE BE OPENED TO THE VETERANS? BY L. P. HEYMAN. Nine years ago the liberal hearted, hero worshipping people of Georgia gladly attested their undying devotion to the gallant un n who In the dark days of the sixties bravely responded to the state’s call to arms. A move ment had been set on foot to build a home for the survivors of the noble band of soldi rs who illustrated Georgia honor, valor, brilliancy, and daring In many a tierce conflict. The lose of limbs or other disabilities aris ing from their Service throughout the clViil war, had rendered many of these worthy veterans incapable of compet ing successfully in the struggle for ex istence. and It was found that not a few wore surety In need of assist ance It war planned to matte the place where these beioes were to live all that the word home implies.

It was from veter ans themselves that a great part of the money needed was secured. A beau tiful and healthful location was selec ted. A magnificent and spacious structure was built. The land cost a little less than *IO,OOO, the home a little more than *30,000. The entire outlay had been somelhing over *41,- 000. and there was no doubting the fact that the property was easily worth twice that figure. All that was needed to open the portals of the splendid edifice and to gladden the hearts of donors an prospective guests was an appropriation from the state to provide for the maintenance of the liome.

For us ti was victory or shredded flesh and bones, nnburled, crackling under the rod slippers of I.aggara vic tors. It was the very crux and crisis of the Aght, and the cockpit of the Agiit was Macdonald’s. The British might avenge his brigade; It was his to keep It and to kill off the attack. To meet !t he turned bis front through a complete half circle, facing subse quently south, west and north. Every tactician In the army was delirious In his praise; the ignorant correspondent was content to watch the man and his blacks. "Cool as on parade,” Is an old phrase; Macdonald Bey was very much cooler. Beneath the strong square hewn face you could tell that the brain was working as If packed In Ice. He sat solid on his horse, and bent his black brows toward the graen Ang and the Remingtons. Then he turned to a galloper with an order, and can tered easily up to a battalion com- bill was passed which has resulted iu the expenditure of about *700.000 an nually. In the meantime the spacious edi fice has stood tenantless. The trus tees were unable to open It for the re ception of Confederate soldiers without aid from the state. A bill was finally filed In the superior court to have the property sold and the fund used for the benefit of needy veterans. The bill was not passed, but the trustees themselves asked that they be allowed to make the sale, und last April the home and grounds were put upon the block. An indebtedness of about *4.000 had arisen from insur ance and other expenses, and the Daughters of the Confederacy hoped by bidding that, sum to acquire pos session of the homo and open it. A higher bid was made in behalf of the trustees, and there being no furth er raise the property was withdrawn from sale It has been decided to make another effort, when the legislature meets this fall, to have the home accepted by the state authorities.
