THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. i'kidat. «ErTBSinER n. iw. ‘SINGING ORPHANS” SCATTERED IN LAND; HOME CLOSED DOWN To the /our corner* of the earth the little tot* of the Memorial Orphanage, 52 and 54 McDaniel street, have been .scattered. The “Orphanage” U no more. Mr. and Mrs. Harwell, who have been at the head of the home, will aoon leave Atlanta for Gainesville. The children, twenty-odd in all, will be safely and warmly and comfortably housed for the r severe winter weather In charitable [ and private homes throughout the states. Tuesday evening last the board of directors, appointed by order of court, after the revelations printed In The Georgian of the conditions prevailing fit the home, held session and reached the decision that It were better for the home to be disbanded. Many of the children will leave the city Friday. Some have already left and others will be cared for by the local charitable in stitutions. The children need no Introduction to the public at large. They first made their bow to the gaping, wondering, pitying, populace way last spring. The hour was late—far past time for the sandman—and one or two of the smaller tots nodded in rhythm to the hymns the others sang. The place was Marietta street. The scene was a novel one to the crowd of loafers, drunkards, tardy women, ne groes and other riff-raff of the sullied thoroughfare—strange both to the mix ed multitude of auditors and to the Ju venile cast teaching a tragedy with serio-comic mien. Under the sizzling arc-lights the children sang and testl fled with their mouths while their eyes listlessly roved around the circle of people. The tender-hearted pitied the little ones, some proffered eagerly accepted sweets, careening w ord or gentle stroke on the young heads. Some of the hard hearted laughed. Home of the wise ones said the children should be in bed. Nearly all contributed to the hat con spicuously planted In the center of the semi-circle of little tots. From the size of the collections and the incessant work Imposed on the chil dren—the work of gadding the streets— there was much money secured by the financiers of the institution. Home Investigated. However this might have been. Of- • fleer J. M. Gloer. who inspected the home at the request of Mayor Wood ward. City Warden Thomas Evans and Secretary J. C. Logan and other ofil- . cers of the Associated Charities, who tm»k a prominent part in Investigating ....... "nrnhnnilfc. all the status of the ‘'Orphanage, found that the Institution wu» n< Ing conducted properly, that the chil dren were not being brought up to a high standard of citizenship, that they were not being educated that, In fact, nothing but prayers were being pump ed Into their heads. "AH work and no play" was the meat of the numerous reports. Home even claimed cruelty. The Georgian, which took the initia tive In helping to bring the matter be fore the public, also found by investi gating that the home was not what It should be. The public Interest was aroused to high pitch. Mr. and Mrs. Harwell were summoned to appear In police court, there to answer to two charges. The city officers and the officers of the As sociated Charities proved beyond doubt that Inhumanity, Inexperience and In ability ruled over the “Orphanage." Councilman Ellis, recorder pro tem.. decided to give the Harwells another chance. Children Ordered Off 8trsets. Since that time, about one month ro, the children have been kept off the streets. A board of directors has been formed and a charter applied for There was no money coming In, how ever, and now the home has been closed. Mrs. Harwell states that her health and that of her husband Is none too good and for that and other reasons the Institution will be closed. The directors state that things were Just getting on a good running basis but that the Harwells wish to close it down. Mri. George Harrow, whose husband was one of the directors, has taken un der her protection three of the chil dren. Willie, Annie and Jamea Childress will be taken to St. Louis by Mrs. Mar guerite Nldor, along with her three lit tle children. One of the little fellows has been sent by his father to Meri dian, where he will attend school. Three of the little ones have been sent to Gainesville. Four of the tots, from Columbus, Ga., will be cared for by the Home for the Friendless and like disposition has been made of the rest. The little fellow who attracted much attention on the streets by his prayers and speeches will be among those who go to the Home for the Friendless. Mrs. Caldwell, who has been instru mental In getting many of the children placed, told of one little fellow In the home who was taken from his mother, she having been sentenced to several years In the prison at Cincinnati. It is the little chap’s ambition to be a man and "take care of muvver.’’ Should ask where "muvver" Is, he would stoutly reply, "she’s waitin’ fer me to SAFE BLOWN OPEN!

"It looks like the dead of winter. And there Is a great deal of fine timber in this section of the state, hardwoods principally, and If there Is no relief It Is my opinion that within a few years all the timber In that whole country will be ruined. The area af actual damage extends fully 40 mile! "People tell me also that market gar denlng has practically been ubandcifed, as the fumes destroy all kinds of vege tables.
