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. SIOO FOR A BOTTLE. 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 Company. Agents wanted. 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!
