President Jefferson Davis destroyed the
'seal of the Confederacy the night Mr.
Davis left Richmond.’
“This statement l do not accept. I
have In my possession a seal (which
came to me by Inheritance several
years ago, which, If not the seal of the
Confederate state*, what Is 11$ I send
you a photograph of same and would
like to have your opinion on the sub-
Ject. My seal Is a veritable Work of
art, made of silver, and fitted In a vet.

IN CROWDED LITTLE ROOM
“GRANDMA”DARBy ISLyTNG
Lying helpless, half conscious, In a
tiny room In the Home for Old Women,
In Mitchell street. Is old "Grandma”
Darby, it years old and fast approach
ing the end of all her suffering. Her
nurses are two other women, almost, ns
old ss their charge, and themselves
more fitted to be nursed than to care
for their companion. But they must
spend all their hours, sleeping and
waking, In that little room, because of
the crowded condition of the home.
The hospitals refuse to receive
"Grandma" Darby, for she Is not "111.”
Tho Home for Incurables can make no
provision for her, because she Is not In
curable. She Is onry old and Infirm.
Tho home must care for her until sho
Is colled to the only other home she will
ever know.
The conditions at the Home for Old
Women would touch the heart of a vis
It or. Fifteen Infirm charges of these
good women, the Gordon Circle of
King's Daughters, are crowded Into ftvo
small rooms. There Is no other place
to put them. The King's Daughters are
doing all they can to relieve conditions
but they are at tho end of their re
sources.
A new home Is the object for which
the King's Daughters are working.
They have nearly $6,000 in their build
ing fund, and with $5,000 more than
can bay a building suitable for their
needs. Joseph A. McCord, of tho Third
National Bank, Is treasurer for tho or
ganisation and will receive funds.

JUGGLED WORDS
TO CLAIM DUCT
Continued from Pago One.
J. W. GOLDSMITH, Jr.
6 Whitehall St. SALES AGENT.
before, the monopoly contends that the
ducts are forfeited.
That no such obscure and far-fstched
construction was placed on this ordi
nance by the city and that the city did
not have the least Ides of giving these
ducts away. Is borne out by the state
ments of all the nine men who drew up
this ordinance, except two, one of
whom 4s not now living and the other
one of whom could not be reached.
The council committee referred to
was composed as follows: Councilman
Evan P. Howell, chairman; Alderman
T, D. I.onglnn, now councilman; Alder
man M. T. Lallatte. Alderman James
Woodward, Alderman W. M. Terry,
Councilman James L. Key; now nlder-
mnn; Councilman H. F. Garrett, Coun
cilman J. Frank Beck and Councilman
James E. Warren.
Statements of Mambsrs.
Following are what the members <4
this committee say:
Dr. T. D. Longlno: "There was ab
solutely no reference to the forfeiture
of the ducts by the city, and I certolnly
should have opposed any nuch.proposi
tion had It been advanced.”
M. T. Lallatte: "As far as my recol
lection goes the ducts were not men
tioned. If It would have been pro
posed I would not have favored It.”
W. M. Terry: "I would not have con
sented to the city giving up the duels. I
can not recall a single reference to any
such proposition.
James L. Key: "The contention Is
absurd. If the company did get the
ducts by this quibble and jugglery of
words, which I doflbt. It was certainly
not Intended by the committee or by
council. The matter was not men
tioned.”
H. F. Garrett: “I don’t remember a
word sold stjout the city giving up the
ducts. It would have met with my
strongest opposition and disfavor.”
J. Frank Beck: "I can not recall a
single reference to the ducts."
James E. Warren: "I certainly did
not Intend to vote to give up the ducts,
and I don’t believe that the propoaltlon
was mentioned."
Will Hold Up Grant*.
If the monopoly, despite these posi
tive statements, persists In laying claim
to the ducts In all these conduits a
determined effort will be made to have
council refuse the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company another single con
cession or grant.
If the company ever Ilnds It neces
sary to extend Its lines It Is proposed
that In the franchise granting the some
a clause giving the city a duct
throughout Its entire line of conduits
will be Inserted. If the company ob
ject* the franchise will not be granted.
Preston Arkwright, president of th#
monopoly, had thla to say about the
matter:
••ft was one of the agreements be
tween the company and the city, when
we paid over $50,000 for the consolida
tion, that all the condltloni that had
been Imposed on th* two rival com
panies In the heat of rivalry and oppo
sition, were to be smoothed out. nnd
this condition, relative to the ducts, was
one that was taken off."
Inasmuch as the members of council,
who had thla matter In hand, state pos
itively that they did not Intend giving
up these (lucts. It Is not likely that
council wilt lie peacefully down and
slumber.
The fight. It seems. Is on. and the
line-up will be watched with interest
by the people.
