Not SorryHe
Lost Moneyon
SLAVE Suap

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. ,. - Ii
Thomas Peacock had clung to a piece
OF Atlanta real estate that he snapped
several years ago for Ran Peacock, a
slave, he would have been worth at
least 100000 before lie died. But he
never regretted it, according to his
statement.
Death now has claimed them both.
Mr.. Peacock died few years ago, and
Uncle Ran passed away the other
day. The property increases i'll value
yearly as Atlanta grows, but it was
the best bargain | ever made" was the
white mans remark few years ago
when he saw a great Office building
going up on the lot at Whitehall and
Alabama streets, ono of the most val
liable corners in the city.
The story behind the trade is that
of the affection OF the old-time South
erner for the slave boy, who was his
especial playmate. Seventy years ago,
before Lewis Peacock died. IN appor-
tioning out his property, he left Ran
to his daughter, Mrs. Thomas Con-
molly. Young Thomas Peacock, few
years later, gave his sister his fourth
interest in the Alabama Whitehall cor
ner for Ran. who, as a likely young
slave, was worth around $500. Mrs.
Connolly's son now owns the lot and
the Connolly building which stands on
it. Real estate men say the lot itself
is worth 100000 or more.
Peacock said it was the best bargain
he ever made, because when he went
away to war he left Ran to take care
of Mrs. Peacock and the children, and
it was Ran who worked the planta-
ton near Atlanta and foraged for the
wife and children of his master. after
Sherman's soldiers had burned the city
and stripped the countryside Of food.

Okla. had been coerced to sell oil
property worth $150,000 to a firm of
white bankers in Winfield, Kans., for
the sum of $4,000.

property, it is said, by threats upon
the life of thei ragged father, Willis

were eight producing wells upon the
property, which had already produced
