Battle of Atlanta, I
Modernized, Gets
Visitors from Afar
Atlanta’s Famous Circular
Pointing To Attract
Georgia Visitors.
One of the bloodiest battles of
the War Between the States,
which Confederate valor and hero
ism reached new heights, is neing
fought again — for ten hours per
day in Atlanta.
Atlanta City officials have re
opened to the public the huge three
dimensional presentation of the
Battle of Atlanta which was fought
o* tween the forces of Sherman and
Hood on July 22, 1864.
Modern splendor has been added
to the 50-year-old painting through
the installation of the latest type of
theatrical lighting. The modern
ized “battle'' exhibit, immediately
popular, is expected to be one of
Georgia's finest tourist attractions.
Mayor William 3. Hartsfie'd says it
is the finest possession the City
has, symbolizing the heritage of
courage and character which the
Confederates handed down to pres
ent day Georgians.
Visitors are expected at the cy
clorama. in Grant Park, from
throughout the world. The first
paying customer, when the modern
ized painting was reopened for ex
hibit on January 11, was from far
off Oregon.
The new lighting effects bring
out details in the huge picture and
give emphasis to details which have
never been discenible before.
The visitor enters the rotunda
through a tunnel, the opening of
which is draped with the Stars and
Stripes and the Confederacy's Stars
and Bars. Huge enlargements of
photographs, of General Sherman
and General Hood are on opposite
sides.
The lecturer, dressed in the Con
federacy's gray, is on the opposite
side of tthe platform. At a signal
lights come on slowly, bringing into
full view one fifth of the painting
as the lecturer begins his story. As
the lecturer proceeds, the remainder
of the lights come on and at th'
conclusion, the entire picture re
mains lighted.
In addition to the lighting effect,
the modernization program includ
ed the building of new platforms,
according views of the painting
from different angles.

sue bonds and retire them out of
proceeds from the memorial as a
tourist attraction.
and house subcommittees,
requested by the Governor to study
the proposal, have approved the
plan and are having bills drawn
The action came after Walter C
Hill, chairman of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce on develop
ing the memorial. C. F. Palmer, im

ber. and Alvin B. Cates, current
president, conferred with Governor
Rivers and the two subcommittees

Game Protector
Bv J. R. CORNWELL
Monticello, Ga.
The writer has long
that this section is ready
Game development. We
thousands of acres of idle
that can fped every kjnd ot game
All it needs is a well organized
stocking program. No matter
wel1 suited a P Iace is f ° r wild
key there will never be one
until some seed stock is
The same is true of other game
It seems that we at last have
chance of getting some seed sto
planted fn this section. By offi
cial order of President Roosevelt
the Piedmont W'ildlife Refuge ha
been created. 30,000 acres of lam
in Jasper and Jones counties tha
belongs to the Government ha
been turned over to the U. S. Bio
logical Survey for wildlife devel
opment.
Mr. Raymond J. Fleetwood, of
Madisonville, Kentucky, is
dent manager of the project. Mr
Piertwood is thoroughly trained
u this work and is determined to
'•'ike a success of the project.
Mr. and Mrs. Fleetwood will make
. ,«.■ project in the
near future. The 37 families now
living on the land will be encour
aged to stay on for the open
ground around the farms will help
the game. The families will, of
course, co-operate with the work
The land will be thoroughly pa
trolled by game assistants who
live on the project.
Not only will this land be thor
oughly stocked with turkey, deer,
beaver, quail and other game, but
necessary feed will be planted foi
them. Plenty of deer and quail
are now available for the work
and plans are in progress for
trapping beaver and wild turkey.
The project land lies in the
southern section of Jasper coun
ty and the northern section of
Jones county in the Juliette sec
tion. It is a country well suited
to this type work and it is in the
center of a vast area of potential
deer hunting grounds.
It may be a long time before we
can hunt on the project but in a
few years the seed stock grown
there will be seen over this entire
section. Deer and turkey will
drift up the rivers and creeks and
gradually restock this section. We
will certainly protect our seed
stock and in a few years we may
get some fine hunting. .
This project is not a new tangl
ed idea but has been tried in many
states with great success. Penn
sylvania a few years ago began
projects similar to this and last
year 39,342 deer, were killed in
that state. Pennsylvania is a
thickly populated state with not
one half our hunting resources, so
there is no reason why we can
not have more game.
The Georgia Division of Wild
Life and Georgia sportsmen will
help Mr. Fleetwood in every way
possible in this work.
The soybean is gradually win
nmg its way into the dining room
of many farm homes.
