A'X’LAM'A uLUivUi-cLN. ‘SINGING ORPHANS" SCATTERED IN LAND; HOME CLOSED DOWN To the four corner* of the earth the little tots of the Memorial Orphanage, M and 54 McDaniel street, have been scat tired. The “Orphanage” ia no more. Mr. and Mrs. Harwell, who have been at the head of the home, will soon leave Atlanta for Gainesville. The children, twenty-odd In all, will be safely and warmly and comfortably housed for the severe winter weather Jn charitable and private homes throughout the state*. Tuesday evening last the board of •i nectors, appointed by order of court, after the revelations printed In The Oorglan of the conditions prevailing at 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 l»e 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 M( cne was a novel one to thb crowd of loafers, drunkards, tardy women, ne groes and other rlfT-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 testi fied with tholr mouths while their eyes listlessly roved around the circle of „ psople. The tender-hearted pitied the little ones, some proffered eagerly accepted sweets, caressing word or gentle stroke on the voung heads. Some of the hard hearted laughed. Some of the wise ones said the children should be In bed. Nearly all contributed to ths hat con spicuously planted In the center of the tsml-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 ficer J. M.. Gloer, who Inspected the home at the request of Mayor Wood ward, City Warden Thomas Evans and Secretary J. C. !<ogan and other on cers of the Associated Charities, who took a prominent part In Investigating the status of the “Orphanage, all found that the Institution was not be- lift ti- were not being educated that, in fact, nothing but prayers were being pump ed Into their heads. “Ail work and no play” wa* the meat of the numerous reports. Some 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 a 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 tern., decided to give, the Harwells another chance. Children Ordered Off 8treets. Since that time, about one month ago, the children have been kept off the streets. A board of directors his 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 Ihree of the chil dren. Willie, Annie and James 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 bs 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. ” Is the little chap's ambition to be man and “take care of muvver." Should vou ask where “muvver” is, he would stoutly reply, “she’s waitin’ fer me to be er man an' take care of her." SAFE BLOWN OPEN!. P. 0, BURGLARIZED AT BLACKSHEAR, GA.

FUMES Of COPPER EFI IN 'Unless something Is done soon for estry In Gilmer, Fannin and perhaps other north Georgia counties will be entirely ruined by the fumes from the Ducktown, Tenn., copper plant." go stated Commissioner of Agrlcul ture T. G. Hudson Friday morning. Colonel Hudson, with State Chemist McCandless and Htate Geologist Yeates, drove from EIHJay, In Gilmer county, to Blue Ridge, In Fannin coun ty, Thursday. “The 325-foot stack of the copper plant 1ms only served to widen the zone of destruction," continued Colonel Hudson. “We visited a aectlon that last year was apparently unaffected by the sulphuric fumes, but now along the ridges the foliage Is brown and the ground In covered with dead leaves. “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 ail the timber In that whole country yill be ruined. The area of actual damage extends fully 40 miles. "People tell me also that market gar dening has practically been abandoned, as the fumes destroy all kinds of vege tables. One cannot realise the situa tion unless a visit is paid to that sec tion." This committee will prepare a report within the next few daya which will be turned over to Attorney General Hart and Attorney Ltgnn Johnson for use before the United 8tates supreme court at the hearing of the injunction on Oc tober 1.
