HIS WIFE FOUGHT

After a desperate fight with two un
known negro highwaymen Wednesday
night In his store, 166 Houston street.
In which his wife fought valiantly In
his defense, R. Kosenberry was badly
stabbed in the head and robbed of SIS
In money.
The assailants made good their es
cape and no trace of them has so far
been obtained by the police.
The neffroes entered the store as
though to make a purchase, and sud
denly attacked the merchant, lie re
sisted tho robbers to the best of hts
ability and In the struggle one of them
suddenly Jabbed him In the back of the
head with a knife blade. In the mean
time Mrs. Kosenberry rushed to the
rescue and tried to aid her husband,
but the highwaymen were tooenuch for
the husband and wife. In the excite

cash drawer and procured $13. ufter
which the two lied.

SOME PUNGENT COMMENT
ON GRADY HOSPITAL AFFAIR
To the Editor of The Georgian:
To the shades of the departed Grady
these periodical blplay* of the “outs”
to get In. and the ’Ins” to keep the
“outs” out of the Grady hospital, must
afford Infinite amusement.
Outside of the political “pull** In the
business, these “college fellows” seem
to have the monopoly. Their arrogatH
Infallibility relegates us of the common
herd to the alternative of Irregular ad
vertisement, or to eke out a precarious
professional existence on merit alone.
Why can not the council coniine th*
"college fellows" to their own medium
of advertisement, and let some of tho
other tax-paying and struggling doc
tors have a whack at advertising
through hospital preferments? We all
subsist on the same alenlents, we grad
uate In the same system of medkwl
principles, and are supposed to be con
trolled by the same ethical considera
tions. If there Is a Caesar or Napo
leon yet developed In AtlantA medi
cine or surgery, no one has yst found
It out! And In the absence of this
one real crucial test of eminence, let
us. for Grady's sake, have rotation un
til either every one has a trial or a
board of unquestioned efficiency has
demonstrated Itself.
These gold bespectacled pets and
“special operators” are a menace to not
only scientific progress, but even v»
professional Integrity, and political
preferment Is no sure and certain
meusure of medical or surgical capaci
ty.
