Mr.. DAVID DRAKE MILLER.

"A wave vi SoTrOW spredu over len
sas parish on Thursday of last week
when news came that Mr.. David d
Miller had died suddenly at his home
in NatcheZ, aged IS years.
Mr.. Miller was born in Concordia
parish his father, the late Mr.. d. F.
Miller, being one the foremost citizens
and leading cotton planters of that
parish in ante-bellum days. Surround
ed by wealth and refinement, deceased
had all the advantages of education
and travel in his young manhood
and was truly a polished, high toned
and chivalrc Southern gentleman.
When the clouds of war settled over
our Southland, Mr.. Miller was among
the first to answer the call of the Con-
federacy, enlisting as a private and
rising to the rank of First Lieutenant,
and for four years gave the best that
was i'm him to the cause that he knew
to be right. In passing it is worthy of
remark that he was the last surviving
member of his Company that went
out in the spring of 81, and contain
ing the flower of Adams county and
Concordia parish.
Shortly after the war Mr.. Miller was
marred to Miss Rachel Ulrich, to whom
were born five children, all OF whom
survive their father, viz: Rachel, wife
of c. G.. Frierson, Amite City, La,
Annie, wife of S. d. Watson, Tensas
parish, La, Miss Mary Miller, Troy,
Alabama, and David F. and John U.
Miller of Tensas parish. Some years
after the death of his first wife, Mr..
Miller married again, his second wife
being Miss Rosa Johnston of this par
ish. To this union, one daughter, Miss
Camille Miller, was born, who, with
her mother, was with her father when
the end came. Besides his widow and
children, Mr.. Miller is survived by the
following sisters: Mrs. Eliza Ulrich,
Chester, Pa, Mrs. }. A. Craig, Amite
City, La, Miss Maria Miller, Mount
Airy, Pa, and Mrs. Louise Collins,
Jacksonville, Fla.
Mr.. Miller located i'm Tensas parish
soon after the war and lived here for
more than half his life, where he was
always identified with the best inter-
ests of his parish and filled many
places of honor and trust. He was
ever a public spirited citizen and sue
cessful planter and business man, a
good neighbor and kind and devoted
husband and father. Some years since
deceased retired from active business
and was succeeded in his planting in
terests here by his sons, and made his
home in Natchez, but his heart was
ever In Tensas, which was dearer to
him than any other spot on earth, and
his death is mourned by every old cit
izen of this parish. In his passing a
good man and honorable citizen has
gone to his reward. May his loved
ones be cOmforted by the noble life he
lived and the happy thought that he
possessed the love, confidence and re-
spect of every one who knew him.
Many from Tensas parish attended
his obsequies while others who could
not leave home sent messages of re-
greet and coincidence. His body peace
fully sleeps i'm the beautiful cemetery
at Natchez, his soul has returned to
the God who gave it.

THE ColoRED WAR SAVINGS STAMP
STATE CAMPAIGN. "
To the Colored People of Louisiana
Greeting:

To the Colored People of Louisiana
Greeting:
In all the wars of this country the
colored man has played leading part
from Bunker Hill to Carizal. When
President Wilson declared a state of
war existing between United States
and the imperial government of Ger
many, there was no question as to
the love and loyalty of the colored
man. He was among the first to prof
fer his services to the government.
The government accepted the prof
fer and Immediately a training camp
opened for colOred officers. More than
81 per cent made good. Splendid train
ing camps were fitted up in all Sec
tions of the country and now our men
are as fit as any others to go to front.
! The prosecution of war is an expen-
sive undertaking. 1t takes battle and
merchant ships, munitions, subma-
rines, aeroplanes, submarine destroy
ers, clothing, and a thousand and one
other things at an enormous cost.
Ours is government of the people.
Whatever the government has be-
longs to the people; whatever the
government gets must come from the
people, either in the payment of taxes
assessed or from the purchase of Lib
erty Bonds or War Savings Stamps.
Here is an opportunity for each citi-
zen to enter into business partner
ship with his government. The pur-
chase is equivalent to lending the
government money upon q gilt edged
bond as security which will be re-
deemed i'm 1923 with interest. 1t is an
opportunity to save, invest, and, at
same time, allow the government to
use the money to help finance the war.
We are not a race of slackers nor
paupers. We are going to see to it
that every man, woman, and child
has a Baby Bond in his own name.
Who is it among us that cannot and
will not invest at least $500 for War
Savings Stamps? Any one of our
churches could easily invest 800 in
Savings Stamps. Our Sunday school,
young peoples societies, benevolent
both female and male organizations,
laboring societies and fraternal or
ders could easily invest 800. Come,
colored men and women, and do your
full duty at the call OF the government
needs.

A Port in France, Jan. 30.-(Cor- respondence of The Associated Press) A little more than six months have wrought a mighty change in the base at which, last June, the first division of American troops landed to go into training for their fight with the Germans.
 The docks have been and are en- larged, storage warehouses have been and are being built, the harbor has been dredged out to accomodate more and larger ships, and the railroad facilities have been nearly doubled and are being increased day by day.
 The enlargement of the port has created a somewhat anomalous situ- tion. For whereas up to about the end of last year troops landed more regularly and quickly than supplies, so that it was sometimes feared it would be necessary to draw tempor- arily on the French for their support, the base is now in the position of be- ing able to handle more tonnage than is at present coming to it, either in the form of supply or troop ships.
 The capacity of the port would, however, be almost reached with the completion of the docks and store houses now under construction if it were not for farreaching engineering plans that are underway.
 The American authorities early foresaw that even comprehensive dock enlargements would inevitably result in congestion and confusion if some outlet were not arranged for the increasing supplies expected to arrive when they are needed, and which even increased storage space could not be expected to accomodate. The problem resolved itself into one of transportation.
 Therefore, while the railroad tracks at the port itself are vastly more nu- merous than they were six months ago, the American engineers have conceived a plan whereby vast

STEAL AUTOMOBILES

Special to Independent. A
 Little Rock, Feb. 23.-The temper ary theft of automobiles has become great nuisance and a nightly occur renee in Little Rock. As rule, the cars are recoverel by the police, some times the same night where they have been abandoned in some distant part of the city, and occasionally several days elapse. Frequently the cars are driven into the country and wrecked and abandoned.
 Yesterday the police caught a young man about IS years old who has been making a practice of steal ing car almost every night and taking young girls joy-riding. One night early in the week q school girl who was riding with him, accidental ly dropped her note book with her name and address on it in one of the stolen cars. Following this clue, the police soon had the boy in custody and he confessed that he had taken 2 large number of cars recently, anc given rides to his lady friends. Un- der the law it is only a misdemeanol to take another's automobile, ever though it be wrecked while the bor- rover is using it.

tract of land three or four miles back of the port has been taken over, and is being developed coincidently with the port itself.
 On either side of huge basin into which ships can if necessary be tow ed and unloaded, dozens of parallel spur tracks are being laid. They will serve dual purpose, for cars, either can be filled from harges and vessels brought into the basin, or cars loaded at the port itself can quickly and cas- fly be hauled to the spurs and there made up into trains.
 The Americans already have taken over on lease from the French cer- tain lines of railroad which will be fed from the yards of the port and of it's complementary station in the rear. They are increasing constantly the efficiency and capacity of the port itself by helping the French to econ omize in dock and transportation space.
 The American plan which envis- ages caring for vastly more volume than the port would normally accom- odate, even with the enlargement of locks and store houses, is not origi- nal with them but is more or less a copy of what the English have done at another port, where they have in creased the daily output of merchan- disc from about 200 cars or less to more than 700 This they have been able to do by laying out huge yards to the rear of the actual port to avoid congestion and to facilitate making up trains.
 The steady development of the American port has made it necessary to rearrange the manner in which the work is done. Last July a compara- lively small branch of the quarter masters department was amply able to superintend and manage the un- loading and distribution of supplies. Today the work has grown so that it

Washington, Feb. 23.- Director General McAdoo has issued orders restricting the creation of new offi- cial positions by railroads or raising officers salaries. Under this order any railroad may not fill vacancy above the grade of general manager or even create such office without the director generals approval.
 McAdoo directed railroad presi- dents to furnish detailed information on salaries of officers, employees and rentals and other expenses of if nancial offices maintained by most roads of New York. It is understood this, information may be used as basis of determining to what extent the overhead expense is involved and the financial management may be curtainiod or eliminated.
