EDIFICS CLOSED.

An Effort Will be Made to Have 1t
Accepted by the Next Legislature.
some OF the Trustees Inclined to
Sell the Property and Divide Up the
Money.
ATLANTA, GA, Sept 9.-The doors of
the confederate homs will be closed till
another legislature has acted upon accept
ance Of it by the state. That was the
decision OF the board of trustees held at the
ing members Of the board were present:
President W. L. Calhoun, A S. Cults, c.
A. Evans, Nelson Tiff. S. NJ. Inman, W. T.
Newman G.. @. Jordan, w. D. Ellis, W. NJ.
Towers. J. W. English, w. H. Ross. E. P.

Fox, Richard Hobbs, T. L. Lang Iton, D. NJ.
Balm, W. T. Smith, George Hillyer, W. A.
Hemphill and NJ C. Kiser.
TEE OBJECT STATED.
After prayer, by Gen. c. A. Evans, Col
Calhoun stated that the object of the meet
ing was to decide what should be done with
the home now that the work had been fin.
ished and the state had not seen fit to &C
cept the gift rendered them by those who
contributed to the building of the institu-
ton. Suggestions OF ali sorts were made
about what disposition should be made Of
the property. Some were disposed to sell
and divide up the money invested. Others
favored closing the doors of the house and
awaiting the action of another legislature
on the matter. Numerous speeches were
made in support OF both propositions. The
stock company plan, Of which much has
been said, was condemned, as was also the
movement to have the institution sup
ported by popular subscription. Another
plan was to raise an endowment for the
support Of the home for twenty-five years.
TO BE CLOSED.
Finally resolution was introduced by s.
M. lumau to close the home and make &C
ceptance or refusal Of it an issue in the
next legislative campaign. This latter propo-
sition was stricken from the proposition, and
as amentei the resolution which the board
passed was as follows:
WHEREAS. The present general assembly has
seen 1t in its wisdom to decline to provide for
the Confederate Soldiers Home OF Georgia and
mas rejected the offer Of the property to the
state; and,
WHEREAS. This board Of trustees does not be-
lieve that the action of the general assembly
expresses the sentiment Of the people of Geor-
gla. therefore
RegyIred, That the home be kept el 1sed till
after the meeting Of the next general assembly,
so that coming fresh from the people the will
Of the people can be expressed In this action.
Resolved, That II the next general assembly
declines to accept the confederate home and
maintain it, the board of trustees will accept
their decision as final evidence that the state of
Georgia does not want to provide a home
for her disabled and needy confederate veterans,
and this board will then proceed to sell the
property and return the money pro rata to the
contributors 70 the original fund expended in
providing the home.
Gen. Evans was requested to prepare an
address stating the action of the board,
which is to be sent to each stockholder, and
also TO be generally distributed.

cotton pickers' strike has actually been or

positively, but the above are the conclusions
reached by intelligent correspondents.

more serious than most people In the state

that can be given perhaps was furnished
to-day by E. 8. Richardson, the state
superintendent of the colored alliance.
