The funeral was held at the family
residence yesterday afternoon. con-
Quoted by the ElKs. All that friends
and members could do to show their
respect for the dead and their sym
pathy for the living was abundantly
done. Few funerals have been more
largely attended In Florence. the
casket was deeply covered with
magnificent wealth Of most beautiful
flowers, in the lawn and ON the side
walk in front among the many who
could not find room in the house,
kind words for the departed were
heard on every side. An Elk quartet
sang several selections Of sacred music
during the ritualistio Elk ceremony.
The address was delivered by Hon.
Lee Champion in a masterful man
ner. There was no attempt at oratory
nor apparent effort to eulogiss, but in
n quiet and heartfelt tone he talked
to the sorrowing ones as one who
too keenly felt the temporary separ-
alton Of loved one. His were
words of comfort and of consolation
to those who were near and dear to
his friend. He spoke of his fourteen
years Of personal acquaintance with
the de ceased, of Miller's standing rs
a citizen, of his financial dealing 90
with his fellowman. Of his love Of
home and family, Of his struggle to
retain the life Of his little son, of
his steadfast love OF truth and Of his
cheerful disposition that always saw
the bright side and that the friend
ships he formed we're lasting and true.
Taking thought from the song,
"Abide With Me-" sung by the quar-
tet. he quoted "OhAnge and decay

mind the gorgeous ruins of Karuac
where once were seated the most
pompous and powerful kings and
rulers, to show the change AMI ruin

all this life is but step in the in

who go before have the best part Of

will follow. That the thing that en- {.

grieves us is the fact Of being sepsr-
ated but that this Ia more or less in.

of All Wrecks, While Experiments With

The waste OF human life on American
railroads vastly exceeds that Of any
other important country in the world.
For several years the figures have been
staggering humanity and worrying Con-
gress, hut how to remedy conditions has
not been apparent
1t is now believed that within the
next I'VE years legislation already
passed or certain TO pass at the present
or the next session OF Congress, Will
bring pretty effectual remedy. Last
Congress passed a bin appropriating
money ana giving power to Government
authorities to investigate and try safety
appliances, signaling devices. etc, with
a view to preventing disasters: and tho
present session Is likely 20 pass the
Esch bill, compelling investigation CT

A Silk Stocking Affair.
(Atlanta Georgian.)

There is a bill awaiting Governor
Smiths signature, permitting the
creation of the Home Guard" or the
Georgia Volunteers" an organization
to be made up of guardsmen who
have served five years, or men who
have had Spanish war experience
and who can pay the price. They are
to be at the call of the governor only
and are to be subject to only shad-
ow of the strict discipline under
which the national guard of Georgia
has it's being. The real motive in the
proposed Home Guard" is that it
will be a social order of much eX-
clusiveness and little drilling.
Georgia has volunteers-has had
them for years-and they are a fine
lot of boys, most of whom are poor
Many of them couldn't buy piece of
gold braid big enough to wad gun
with but they have always been there
with the goods when there was
trouble.
Georgia is a democratic state. We
believe one man is as good as another
so long as he is honest. Plain khaki
covers many prince in Georgia, and
we hope it will be a long time before
any legislation will go through that
will rob the khaki boys of any honor.
Glass misunderstanding line
between the rich and the poor, it mat
ters not how slightly-will never
bring good, nor contribute to our
happiness.
Being a soldier and offering life
for the defense of the states honor is
patriotism, pure and simple Service
gives promotion and honor-and in
the name of our state and our dem
ocracy let us create classes of patro-
tism, especially if a class promises to
be exclusive.
We need no tin soldier brigade in
Georgia. We need no new organiza-
ton to be at the governors CALL The
governor can call the national guard
if he needs them and always has done
So If we had another riot, and 500
or 1000 men were needed, the khaki
boys would have to do the work, so
let's not relegate them to the rear
Let's not have any body of soldiers
| that because of their ability to buy
| gold braid and smoke Turkish brands,
may be looked upon as the real de-
| tenders of the faith, while many a
| drawer boy, who has had all the quail
| ifications and in whose bosom beats
| the truest heart, sees even his below
ed state recognize the fact that he is
poor. and acknowledges a class even
| in so patriotic cause
| New York may have her favorites
| her exclusives. Chicago and Pitts
burg may have their Willie boy brig
AIDES, but let's have no social clubs in
our national guard, and living true tc
| the traditions of the state that we all
would fight for, let's recognize the
equality of man.
/ Don't sign it Governor; it's moi
fair to the boys who have made the
military what it is. They would lay
down their lives in a minute for the
state, and We can't ask more.
