A Mi1ler,s Monument.

A big milestone monument over a
modest miller's grave is a unique sight
near Graytown, 0. The milestone is To-
Gated in the center of an old burying
ground and can be seen a mile away,
coming down the HILL
1t marks the last resting place of &
happy miller of the old school, who
knew not the cares or worries of a ris-
ing or falling grain market, but who
ground his corn and wheat for his
neighbors and lived contentedly ON his
small profits.
Chiseled on the back Of the monu-
ment is this poem:

A MILLER'S MONUMENT.

A MILLERS MONUMENT.
IA milestone taken from his MILL
Beneath this stone a miller lies,
Who left the world before the rise
OF modern ways Of making -four
And hence passed many happy hour.
He was not forced to speculate
Nor on Chicago's movement wait.
He did not care for foreign trade,
But sold his neighbors all he made.
Cables and kilograms were rare;
The markets did not make him swear.
Small was his mill, his profits round;
Clear was his head, his slumbers sound.
He envied none, he was envied not
And died contented with his lot

houses were closed, the factories
enjoying holiday, and side doors

people to stir around much, and in
the morning the walks were covered
with sheet Of smooth ice, which

shaw chairman OF the Georgia railroad
commission, will expire tomorrow. He
viii be succeeded by Hon. G.. Gunby Jor-
dan. of Columbus, Ga. No ceremony
VIII mark the retirement Of Mr.. Crenshaw
other than the administration of the
usual oath to Mr.. Jordan as a member
OF the railroad commission.
The last session OF the commission
over which Chairman Crenshaw will pre-
side will be held today. At this time
many routine matters will come before
the board. Chairman Crenshaw will at
tempt TO leave a clear docket ahead of
him when he goes out Of office. There
are several cases now pending, contin-
gent on various matters which can not

settled viii be disposed OF Monday.
Mr.. Crenshaw is now engaged In his
last arbitration, which is the last the
state authorities now have before them.
During the year the tax returns of many
railroads have been forced to arbitration
proceedings to fix upon what is regarded
as a suitable value. Chairman Crenshaw
has represented the state in many OF
them, and has made a splendid success
of his work.
Mr.. Crenshaw has this week been in
Savannah and over the Plant System with
the representative OF the road, Hon. Pope
Galloway, of Augusta, in the arbitration
proceeding, in an effort 20 arrive at a
proper taxable valuation for the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western railway divis-
ion. The arbitrators will likely finish
their work today.
Mr.. Crenshaw has been a member of the
railroad commission for six years, having
been appointed to the place by the late
Governor w. Y. Atkinson. He succeeded
]. Gunby Jordan, who now succeeds him.
Mr.. Jordan having been a member OF
the commission for six years is familiar
with the work which is before him. and
being a practical railroad man having
been connected with several railroads in
Georgia for years, he undertakes work
for the state which is familiar to him.
Mr.. Jordan is one OF the widest known
business men in the state and is regarded
as one OF the strong men Of Georgia. He
was appointed a member Of the railroad
commission by Ex-Governor w. ]. North
en- and served six years. He was then
superseded by Mr.. Crenshaw, and was
re-appointed a member OF the commission
last December by Governor Gambler.
Upon the retirement of Mr.. Crenshaw
a reorganization of the board win take
place. A new chairman Will be elected.
This Will likely fall to Judge Spencer r.
Atkinson, the senior member of the board.
Judge Atkinson has been the legal men,
Der of the board for several years, and has
been a valuable adviser of the other mem
bers of the board In legal questions which
frequently arise.
Judge Atkinson is now residing IN At
lanta and viii be enabled to spend much
OF his time at the office of the commission.
The duties upon the chairman are ardu-
Gus and require much detail work.

He placed the distance Of the blockading
line under Commodore Schley from the
mouth OF Santiago harbor from i've to
eight miles. the distance being about the
same day and night. Thfre was. he said
no particular formation OF the vessels.
Captain Lemley: when you were at
the western end OF the blockade with the
leading vessel making the turn, what or
ders were there for attacking IL you saw
the enemy coming out OF the entranceg'
II do not believe we could have seen the
enemy coming out, owing TO darkness and
the distance from the harbor. When we
were at the western end OF the line the
ships could have come out and stood to
the eastward without our being any the
wiser unless they showed lights"
How about the reverse OF that PROPOSE
tion?"
4 think It would have been the SEINE in
either case"
Captain Lemley then asked:
did you have airy conversation with
the commanding officer Of the flying
squadron or any one in his presence in re-
IatIon to the fire on the Colon OF other
wiser"
Lieutenant Dewey replied: 'T was told
shortly before we started into the en-
trance that the commodore wished TO see
the turret officers in the pilot house.
went 20 the pilot house and the commo-
dore said that he intended to go in few
moments and have try at the Colon,
and that he hoped we would sink her. I
asked what speed we would make and
was told About ten knots I remarked
at the time that I thought that was CIV
ing us very little chance at the Colon as
she would be in sight before the head
lines only a couple of minutes and the
smoke from our guns would proDaoly
make our fire very slow"
Describing the range az which he had
fired his guns. he said at first II was f,0O0
wards under orders, and then he had in
creased It TO $500 yards, but that the
shots fell short. He said in reply TO ques-
tons that the Spanish shore batteries
had not given the American ships much
trouble on that occasion.
Lieutenant Francis Boughter, who was
watch and division officer on board the
Marblehead during Commodore Schley ;
blockade OF Santiago, was then called. He
said that during that time the Marble
head and the Vixen were on picket duty
on the shore line and the blockading fleet
and he had been stationed three miles
from shore and to the westward, six miles
from MORO. He would not attempt to
saw how far outside the squadron was,
but ne could not see the ships after night
fail
He said he had not informed Captain
McCalla. his commanding officer, OF any
fear that the Spaniards might escape, for
the reason that he considered Captain
McCalIa as well informed on that point
as himself. He had received no general
orders as to the distance out of the
Marblehead. the captain of the vessel
fixing the distance from time to time
When Lieutenant Boughter was excused
Lieutenant Ernst Bennett, who was nag
lieutenant on the New York I'm 1885 was
called TO the stand.
