SOLD AT a GREAT SACRIFICE.
The Confederate Soldiers Home Brought
Only $4,000.

The Confederate Soldiers Home Brought
Only $4,000.
The confederate soldiers home.
which represents an outlay of money
close onto $75, 900, was knocked down at
public cutlery in Atlanta last week for
5000, Joel Hurt the we'll known
Atlanta tinancier, being the successful
bidder.
The home property was sold under an
order of court, the proceeds to be used
for the benefit of old soldiers under
some other plan of aid.
The property consists of 120 acres of
land few miles from the city of Allan
TIA, and building that cost $4,000 to
erect less than ten years ago. The price
at which the property was knocked down
is SO rldiculously low that it is not be-
lieVed the court will approve the sale.
A few days ago $4,000 was offered at
private sale and rejected as insufficient
TO warrant being submitted to the court.
There was good crowd present at the
conrt house of Fulton county When the
home was put up for sale, but bidd ers
we're very scarce. Mr.. Hurt and Capt.
y. w. English were the only persons
who offered anything at all for it, and
after it was knocked down to Mr..
Hurt he said that he did not want it, as
he had only bid to help the sale along
and vas surprised when his bid was ace
oepted
The money with which the home was
built was subscri oed by people all OYER
the country at the solicitation If the late
Henry w. GRADY. The state refused to
accept the property as "a gift and maiu-
tain it as home for old soldiers. and
as til, re were no funds To maintain 1t phi
vately it was never opened, but has been
falling into ruins since It's completion.

THE FACTS WARRANTED HIS FATE.

Northern and eastern papers are yet
teemlng with abuse of the people of
Georgia for the burning of Sam Hose,
the self-confessed murderer and rapist.
The narrowing detail of the negIo's
assault upon his helpless victim cannot
be printed, and until the revolving
facts of his crime can be learned
judgment upon its avengers should not
be passed by the public.
A citizen of Dawson who has talked
with people who live in the community
where the crime was committed and
the lynching occurred has related to
friends here some of the horrible de-
tails of the outrage upon
Mrs. Crawford, and In the lign6 of
these developments it is easy to &C
count for and excuse the raging fury
of the mob that burned Hose at the
stake.
When once the keen disgrace and
hideous wrong of the original crime
are known the ranters win better I'M
derstaDd why swift and terrible pun
ishment was wreaked upon the wretch
W no was responsible for it.

TOWNSVILLE, GA, May 5.-LIttle
Ben Griffin, the 12>year>old IN of Mr..
and Mrs. y. r. Griffin, was accidentally
shot and killed at the depot in this city
this morning.
Today being union Sunday school pic
mic day, hundreds OF bright and happy
children gathered at the depot to take
the train to the picnic grounds few
miles out, Little Ben was among this
number. He, with many others, bad
gone into the coach, secured his seat al d
was leaning out or the car window looks
ing upon the great throng OF happy
children still upon the platform when
the report of pistol rang out in his di-
rectiOn. He was seen to swoon, and fall
between the seats. He said he was
shot
A doctor was at his side in few mo-
ments and the wound was pronounced
by him to be a mortal one. His mother
who lived near, was summoned to the
side of her dying boy, for in twenty
minutes he was dead.
The little fellow made the mistake OF
having pistol in his pocket, aud in
some way the hammer Of the pistol came
in contact with the car window, which
caused the explosion of the only loaded
shell in the pistol, 32-calibre. The
community deeply sympathzes with Mr.
| and Mrs. Griffin in their sorrow.

by striking out the word dog and

bulldog" Mr.. Harwell moved 30

to dogs "either walking or running

had AL of this kind OF money there was IN ex-
istence. and could get no moro elsewhere. In
1873. on the contrary, we repeated our cry for
help. and help came in the form OF shiploads OF
gold. which In a few weeks alutted our bank
and Treasury vaults and satisfied our needs.
India at this ONE Is in a similar condition
to that In which We were in 1873. She has n cur
renoy OF artihclally overvalued silver coin. OF
which no supply exists outside OF her territory
The result ia. a scarcity OF reserves upon which
to base bank credits. high rates OF interest, and
great financial stringency. The only remedy
is the adoption OF gold as the standard OF value.
and. although the measure is rs yet bitterly
opposed by influential India lnanciers. II must
ultimately prevail. II. too. we should be crazy
enough to adopt silver as our currency, no
matter at what valuation. we could look for an
Increased supply OF Il in times OF monetary
strinRency, only to poor countries like Mexico,
the South American republics and China.
When, again. our stock Of silver became re-
dundant, there would be no outlet for it, and It's
exchange value would fall lower and lower.
until its production ceased because II was no
longer profitable.
This Is not mere theory. 1t has been confirmed
by facts. For fifty years. England, the greatest
commercial country OF the world. has had no
other elasticity in It's money supply than that
resulting from the import and export of gold.
Her currency IL rlgidly limited by the amount
OF gold, pound sterling for pound sterling. held
by the Bank OF England for Its redemption. and
the credits given by her banks to their custom
ors expand and contract az their gold reserves
increase and decrease. The experience of this
country, so far as It has gone. is of the same
character. With increases Of their gold re-
serves our banks expand their loans and with
decreases they contract them. This is oil the
elasticity any reasonable man can ask for, and
an imitation Of our paper currency, based upon
bank assets only, would be both unnecessary
and mischievous MATTHEW MARSHALL.
