Don’t Turn J.oose.
In another column of this issue ap
pears an article taken from ihe At
lanta Constitution upon the Soldiers
Home, which says that it is going to
be sold by order of the Judge of the
Fuiton Cos., superior court.
The selling of that beautiful piece
of property, which by- rights belongs
to the people of Georgia, ought never
to occur.
It is something of which we all feel
proud, and if the Legislators of this
state t-ould not see their way clear
enough to accept it for the benefit of
onr old Confederate Veterans a few
years past, they surely ougtli to see
that it is a valuable piece of property
—in fact it is to valuable
to ever let it get out of reach of the
people who generous as to
•five it to our loved soldiers for a
o
home.
It tvas gotten up for the purpose of
supplying those soldiers who were
without the means of self support, and
ought to have passed into the hands
of the State Legislature for that
purpose, but as did not go there the
Trustees should see to it that it is
taken charge of by the State and if it
becomes necessary the state should
buy it and convert it into a reforma
tory for the very unfortunate young
criminals throughout the state.
A reformatory is very badly needed
and a better or quicker method of se
curing one will be hard to find. This
soldiers home is beautifully construct
ed, and is surrounded with beautiful
grounds, and is in just the right place
for such an institution if it should ever
be the property of the state, and if
used for the pur, ose of a reform
school for the young unfortunate
criminals, who are too young to be
placed in the chain gangs of the sev
eral counties.
If the writer was one of the con
tributors to the fund winch wis used
in the construction of that home he
would use his every effort to prevent
its being used tor any other than pub
lic purposes, and he is very hopeful
that someone will prevent its sale.
Trustees do not turn loose.

This would not be a large price to
pay for Dr. Drummond’s Lightning
Remedies for Rheumatism if one
could not get relief any cheaper. The
Drummond Medicine Cos., New Yoik
have received hundreds of unsolicited
testimonials from greatful people re
stored to health by the use of their
remedies, who would not hesitate to
pay any price rather than suffer the
former torture. If you would like to
try these remedies, and your druggist
has not got them, write direct to the

Soldiers’ Home Going at Auction.
The cherished wish tint the con
federate vererans of the state might
be cared for in the beautiful
homo in the eastern part
of the city will never he realized by
the philanthropic lovers of the lost
cause, who donated money and land
to the home. Soon the hist chapter
in the sad history of the home’s fail—
me will have been completed and the
curtain will fall upon the drama that
was born full of hope and expectancy.
Yesterday morning Iho motion for
new trial, which was filed several
months ago bv Colonel W. T. Moyers
was withdrawn and the property will
soon be sold under the deer e of the
superior coii'-t. It is probable that
no further efforts will he made to
s-’ve the home from (he block, and
when the sale occurs the title to the
property will pass into the hands of
the new purchaser.
The story of the movement to se
cure a permanent bo - e for disabled
soldiers of the state is one with which
the public is yet familiar, for it was
due to the hearty response of the peo
ple that the land was secured and the
building erected. A number of prop
erty owners gave the land to the
movement, liberal-hearted southerneis
gave their means and many small con
tributions of the nickel and dime
variety found their way into the fund
that was being raised. When enough
had been secured the carpenters and
brick masons went to work on the
foundations and the stately edifice was
created—one of the handsomest buil
dings in the state, luxuriant in sur
roundings and handsome and com
manding in arcbitectual design and
finish.
But the building has never been
occupied except by bats and owls.
When the structure had been com
pleted the hoard of trustees announced
to the state that the property was
ready to he occupied. The acceptance
of the home by the state, the hoard of
trustees, which is composed of several
prominent citizuis of the state, made
their report to the superior court Til's
report was filed as the last alternative
and when it was opened anil read in
court it showed that the trustees had
Dut forth every effort to have the
home acccepted and taken by the
state, but without success.
The members of the board of trus
tees stated to the court they had done
all that they .could do and believing
that nothing further could be accom
plished, they asked the court to take
the home and relieve them of their
truit.
Acting upon the lines of this report
Judge Lumpkin granted an order of
the superior court, decreeing that the
property should be sold. No upset,
price was named and it was suggested
that the funds arising from the sale of
the property should be divided out
among the needy soldiers, who would
have benefited by the home had the
state accepted it.
An answer was filed to the decree
of the court and the report of the
trustees. This answer was filed by
Colonel AY. T. Moyers who repre
sented a number of the contributors
to the movement. The answer al
leged that the trustees had not per
formed the obligations of their trust,
as they had ceased their efforts just as
soon as it was ascertained that the
state would not make any appropria
tion.
Colonel Moyers mged that the
court restrain the sale for the present,
as it was apparent that something
might be done to save the home. He
thought it was a disgrace to the state
to see property sacrificed and he did
not believe the home should be sold.
The decision of ot the judge was ad
verse to Colonel Moyers and his pe
titioners, and a motion for anew trial
was filed to the decision.
iioybr’s motion is withdrawn.
Yesterday morning Colonel Movers
was pesent in open court. He stated
to Juke Lumpkin that he appeared as
council for the movants in the bill
and in his place desired to withdraw
the motion lor anew trial.
When the case was called Mr. AY.
T. Moyers, attorney for the Atlanta
Realty and Improvement Company,
addressed the court, Mr. Moyers
said :
“My clients, although the largest of
the donors to the home, having given
sixty acres of land and $1,500 in raon
ey, have had no selfishness in this liti
gation. Your honor will recall that
® l
sole effort has been to have this splen
did charity conducted as it was origi
nally intended and according to the
plans of its founder, the great Mn
Grady. They have not asked to have
either their land or their money re
lumed to them, but as donors they
intervened to protect the beneficiaries
our needy confederate veterans. They
knew that under the law no trust can
tail for want of a trustee, and they
and 1 have believed that this trust
should not fail because of inability of
the present trustees to maintain their
trust. We have contended that, ns
they confess they cannot carry it out,
others who can do so should he put
in their places, and this lias been our
sole contention.
“Your honor lias held that the
home shall he sold and the best dis
position possible, for the beneficiaries,
shall be made by tlie trustees of the
proceeds. To prolong tins case would
be simply to stand between the old
soldiers and their deserts, not such
benefits as think they should have
but still something for their good, and
we will get out of the way. I have
here an order dismissing our motion,
which will leave your decree of sale
to stand. I mn instructed by ray
clients, who I submit are entitled to
some consideration from a chancellor
to impress upon your honor that to
sell this properly outright now wou'd
bo to sacrifice it, and to enable some
speculator to get at less than its value
what belongs to people who need all
they tan get,”
A CULLKGIS IS SUGGESTED.
Colonel Moyers believes the build
ing could be used to great advantage
as a m lie college.
“It seems to me,” said he, “that the
proper thing for the people of Atlanta
to do is to buy this home at its full
value and supply with it the greatest
need of of our city—a first-class male
college. It is the mest beautiful piece
of property, considering building, site
and other advantages, in the county,
and perfectly adapted for such a pur
pose. lam somewhat selfish in de
siring a male college in Atlanta, be
cause I have some boys whom I wish
to keep at home as long as possible!
I don’t wish to send them away for
then education. But I will be tinsel
fish; I will give in cash as much as
any other citizen of Atlanta in pro
poition to our worth, for this purpose.
Can’t you newspaper men take up
the matter?'’—Atlanta Constitution.

AND OUSTOM Elt S .
In an issue of the Journal a short time
back we announced to the people that
we were prepared to overhaul Buggies,
and had made a contract with Mr J. H.
Sellers to do our painting for us.
Just after getting the first buggy
ready for the paint shop,Sellers notified
us that t hey had formed a Company, and
could not paint for us according to pre
vious contract. Which leaves us in a
shape that we cannot accommodate our
customers by paint ing their buggies this
year. AVe just wish to say to those
that wish to patronize us that we will
guarantee satisfaction in anything we
do. After this year we hope to be
able,with a first class painter to accom
modate our customers at our own shop.
Thanking the people for their patron
age up to the present, we hope they
will continue patronizing us
