VETERANS’ HOME.
THE BILL TO PROVIDE THEM SHEL
TER MEETS WITH
Opposition in'the lloune—A Lively De
bate, With the Soldiers’ Friend* to the
Front—Those Opposed to the Home Show
Their Hand*.
Atlanta, August 23.—The bill pro
viding for the acceptance] of the home,
which was introduced by Mr. Cutts of
Sumter,had been|madc the(special order
for to-day, immediately after the read
ing of the journal.“The house went
into the committee of the whole fur the
consideration of the^bill.
Col. Cutts addressed the committee.
He desired that tho*|b!U (be reported
back to the house with a recommenda
tion favorable to Its passage. It was a
most important measure, and one that
deeply concerned the welfare and hap
piness of disabled confederate soldiers,
who had given their beitj services to the
state when the enemy was at her doors
and threatened destruction to homes
and loved oneB. He spoke with much
warmth of feeling,'and made a touching
plea in behalf of those for whose com
fort tho home had been erected. Ho
reviewed the history of gthe home, and
thought It the duty of the (state to care
for these bravo ones in|(their declining
age. If Georgia should take this step
other states would follow her* example,
and a great good would bo accom
plished.
Mr. Martin of Fulton spoke in favor of
the bill. Twenty-five years ago, when
(tie call went out for men to defend the
honor, rights and liberties of the peo
ple of the State, the noble men for
whom this measure was sought to be
enacted came forward and gave their
all for the state.gj|IIol|thought it the
privilege of his life to raise his voloe in
behalf of the feeble and disabled ex-
Confedorato soldiers.
Mr. Baldwin: JJ“I should like to ask
the gentleman from Fulton where these
disabled soldiers|are to be found? We
have none of them in Southeast Geor
gia.”
Mr. Martin; “lam surprised at the
gentleman's question. As young as lam,
and aa tittle experience as|I have had
with these soldiers, yet they are always
to be found where I have been.”
Mr. Martin proceeded to show where
the home would be an excellent real
estate investment.
Dr. Baldwin: “Were we sent here os
speculators or representatives?”
Mr. Martin; “We come here, sir, as
representatives, and, as representatives,
we are bound to do that which Is for the
best interests of the state.”
Mr. Martin concluded by showing
wherein It was the duty of the state to
accept the home.
Mr. Sears of Webster spoke In opposi
tion to the passage o! the bill. He
thought this bill would only serve to de
feat the purposes of the measure. He
thought that a better plan would be to
aid the soldier* and let them remain at
their own bomea. He made a strong
and effective speech'agalnat the passage
of the bill. The gentleman from Fulton
spoke eloquently^ about,|thcso soldiers
leaving their homea and forsaking their
famlllea to defend their country, and
argueathat for that reaaon this bill
should pass. “Mr. Speaker, that is just
the reason the bill should not pass. It
proposes to cause some of these soldiers
to break family ties and come here to
Atlanta and spend the remainder of their
days away from their loved ones."
Mr. Msrtln: “This bill Is not Intend
ed for soldiers who have families.”
Mr. Sears; “Then I am still more
strongly opposed to this measure. [ Ap-
plruse.] I thought It was Intended to
bene lit all the soldiers of our state.”
Mr. BoifeuiUet of Bibb spoke In sup
port of the measure. He argued that
from a business |standpoint alone the
state should accept the home.
Dr. Baldwin: “Would this, In fact,
net be more of a prison to Incarcerate
the Inute* tfea* a bofte ?"
AKr. BoifeuiUet: “No, sir; It would be
a homo In every sense of the term. Be
sides, the Veterans' Association of the
county the gentlemen represents recom
mended that the home be accepted.”
Dr. Baldwin: “Who composes the
Veterans' Association of Randolph
county ?"
Mr. Boijeuillet: “lam personally ac
quainted with only one of them.”
Dr. Baldwin: “They are the tail end
and butter-milk soldiers, who enlisted
near the close of tho war and who did
nothing for their country.”
Mr. BoifeuiUet made a long, beautiful
and effective speech In support of the
bill.
Mr. Hand of Baker could not support
the proposition. He thought the state
would not be benefited financially or
otherwise by the acceptance of the
home.
Dr. Chappell of Laurens thought the
bill unconstitutional In its present state.
The constitution required that no meas
ure pass the house that contained more
than one subject matter. This bill pro
vided for the acceptance of the homo
and also for the maintenance of the in
stitution. He offered a substitute pro
viding for the acceptance of the home
and nothing more. Appropriations for
its support could be made through the
introduction of another bill. He
thought the state should accept the
home, but he desired to raise this great
constitutional question.
Mr. Wooten of Dougherty answered
the constitutional objection to the bill
mode by the gentleman from Laurens.
He cited many instances where similar
bills to the one now before the house
had been passed.
Mr. Bush of Miller was not Id favor of
accepting the home on the conditions
prescribed. He thought the state should
be left free to do what It pleased with
tho home, if accepted at all.
Mr. Howell of Fulton: "Would you
accept the home ou such conditions?”
Mr. Bush: “If the state la left free to
use the home as It sees best for the ben
efit of the soldiers, I’ll vote for its ac-
ccptanco,” [Applause.]
Mr. Howell: “I desire to say to the
house and to the gentleman from Miller,
In reply to that remark and the manner
in which the house received it, that they
may be called upon to vote In accordance
with the sentiment thus expressed."
Mr. Fleming of Blchmond took the
floor In support of the acceptance of the
home. It was urged against the bill
that it was an Atlanta enterprise and
was Intended to benefit Atlanta. But
why should this be an objection ? A
great Atlanta brain bad originated the
scheme and Atlanta money had bought
the property and erected the building.
There waa nothing unconsti'.utional In
the bill. It waa but one continuous
scheme and contained not more than one
subject matter. It was a duty the
state owed to the memory of the
Immortal Grady to accept the
home. Pericles had said that the great
est duty the nation owed to lta dead he
roes was to erect monuments to their
memory. This would be a lasting mon
ument to the memory of the glorious
Grady.
The hour of adjournment arrived and
the discussion of the bill will be contin
ued to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock.
The house will hold two sessions to
morrow, the afternoon session commenc
ing at 3 o’clock.
