VETERAN WANTED TO FiGHT.

Fresh Young Man.

Fresh Young Man.
One of the two blind men stationed
on the corner of Bull and Broughton
streets got his Confederate blood boil
ing last night. and expressed a desire
to thrash a young man who had in
suited him. The crowd was with the
old soldier and the smart young man
was wise enough to depart before he
had been handled roughly.
The young man remarked that the
veteran should ~ to the Soldiers
Home, and made some other statement
that was not very kind. The old sol4
dier as matter of fact was on his way
to the home in Atlanta when it was
burned, and the fact that he should
be spurned by a man many years his
junior caused the blood to boil in his
veins. He was in for clubbing the
man who had insulted him and would
have done so with the help of the
crowd, but for the fact that the in
dividual in question moved on before
hostilities commenced.
Another blind Confederate soldier.
who sells pencils for living. and who
is accompanied at all times by a fox
terrier, was on the same corner, and
also grew angry at what was said. The
two old soldiers related anecdotes, and
recalled battles, after the fresh young
man departed, and a crowd gathered
around them and was entertained
Jokes that brought to mind the days
of the Civil War were sprung by the
old veterans to the amusement of the
crowd and liberal contribution fol-
lowed. The corner was blocked for
some little while.
