Apart from those where man forever goes;
Some altars lit by sunset on the hill, # JShL.
Or alcoves in the canyon wall, where glows
The crystal drop of moisture on the fern,
While ancient firs bend tenderly above,
For souls of men must sometimes deeply yearn
For silence such as this, to sense Thy love.
God, save them for us still, lest we forget-
These altars built eternities ago;

THE TRUCE CITIZEN SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1924
SOCIETY OF COLONIAL WARS
IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA
OFFICE OF SECRETARY
SAVANNAH
ROBERT CALDWELL NEELY
i
Had been a member of the Georgia So
ciety of Coioniel Wars for twenty-six
ye irs. He was admitted on December
SO, 1897. Death struck him from the
Scciety’s rou on October 2t,
There were few members ot the! So
ciety who did not enjoy in some meas
ure an acqua a'ance with Mr. Neely.
A frequent .isitor to the of
the society in former years; ris
charming inty emi ared him to
| all who knew him intimately and
; drew to him those who were privileg-
I ed only to meet him in a casual way.
Among the foremost men of his sec
tion of the state, he was appreciated
for his sterling integrity, his progres
sive ideas, his devotion to high prin
ciples, anJ his consecraticn to fine
American ideals of life as a whole. His
death was felt as a distinct loss to
his state. That our society has been
bereft of a staunch and patriotic mem
mer, all realize.
Mr. Neely was born in Savannah on
May 17, 1856, the son of Captain
Thomas W. and Philo Whitehead Neely
His father served in the Southern Con
federacy throughout its history, and
his son inherited from him a strong
sense of duty and personal responsi
bility. Completing his education in
Savannah, and the preparatory school
of Richard Malcclm Jonnston in Balti
more, he then studied law in New
York, but returned to Georgia in 1876,
and became manager of Major Wil
kins’ bus.ness in Waynesboro. Later
lie formed the firm of Mackenzie and
Neely, general merchants; his subse
quent business interests being with
the firm of Wilkins, Neely and Jones,
and the R. C. Neely Company. In 1899
lie orgamzde and became president of
the Citizen’s Bank cf Waynesboro;
and a member of the State Highway I
Commission. For twenty five years 1
he was president of the Burke County ;
Board of Education. In his religious j
life he was an active member of the ;
Methodist Episcopal Church. On Ap- '
ril 28, 1886, he married Miss Lillian,!
daughter of Major William A. Wilkins, i
who survives him with three children
Mrs. Jchn R. Palmer, Messrs Alvin W i
Neely, and Robert C. Neely, both sons :
being members of the Society.
Mr. Neely’s membership in this So* j
ciety was derived from his descent I
from Jan Strycker, a Colonial soldiei i
and magistrate, and otherwise iden- I
lifted with the public life of Colonial
New York.
(Signed) THOMAS GAMBLE
Historian,
Minister and Girl
Fined for Kissing
London, Feb. 16.—When an
eagle-eyed policeman saw Rev.
John Pugh kiss Miss Carrie Hard
man in Hyde Park he immediately
arrested both. Pugh’s defense
when arraigned was: “We were
only hugging each other.” Miss
Hardman pleaded: “We were not
doing anytmng except kissing; I
don’t see any harm in kissmg—
everybody's doing it.” The court
decided, however that public
kissiug end-ngered London’s
morals and find the clergyman
$25 while lite girl was assessed
$lO,
Local interest is found in this little
press dispatch from Lonuon because
of the tact that the ancestors of Dr.
Earl E. Pugh, the handsome pharma
cist at the Waynes be l o Drug Co., hails
from tins little town on the Thames
river, and it is thought that pernaps
he m.ghi be aiiected in a similar man
ner. We hardiy believe it tiio, for Dr.
wouldn’t let the eagle eyed cop, or
a blind yne lor thmatter, catch him
in the act. Dr. Pugh, we believe,
woum have at as much gallant
ry as uid hte Reverend Pugh, deny
it even if her were caught even tho
his lauy fair be beyond the flapper
age, and readily admit it is she did
when the couple was caught and ar
raigned in court.
Inis dispatch has made Dr. the en
vy ct all tne young men eiigibles in
Uie city but we must not tell all we
know about it.
NEW MAGAZINE EOK SOUTH
The Southern Magazine which was
recently moved from Atlanta, to Nash
ville, Tenn, has been enlarged and
improved and its editorial scope
broadened. The March number will be
off the press about Leb. 25th. It will
contain many interesting and instruc
tive illustrated articles, among them
being a sketch of the life of Dan Em
mett, author of ‘Dixie” a comprehen
sive history of Muscle Shoals; an ar
ticle entieled “Dixie on the Orinoca”
which is an interesting account of a
dropped stitch in Southern history; a
human interest story about the creator
of “Hambone”, the quaint negro char
acter of newspaper fame; all illustrat
ed story about the Government Park
at Hot Springs, Ark.; illustrated fic
tion by Harry Stillwell Edwards and
other well known writers; a thought
ful dsicussion of “Pop”, the immortal
poet; a review of the Southern press,
book reviews, verse, stories about de
velopment in the South, etc.
The editors of the Southern Maga
zine are earnestly striving to make it
representative and meritorius, realiz
ing that the Southern people will not
support a mediocre publication. It
has a vision of supreme service to the
South and its desire is to eventually
become one of the most powerful
forces in the cultural as well as in
the material life of the section.
Its special mission is to interpret
the South. It will also advertise its
wonderful resources and adventures
to the world, through its devolpmaut '
section. While it wiu not be narrow
or prejudiced, yet it will champiOL <*v
ery just and righteous cauoo of the
death.
It will encourage Southern litera
ture and, help to preserve the best
traditions and customs of the Old
South, portray the teeming life of the
New South, assist in giving the sec
tion her rightful place in history and
will keep each section informed of hte
i important activities of the other sec
tions.
I To introduce the magazine in this
j territory, the publishers have inaugu
' rated a big whirlwind cash prize cam
paign for subscription workers, which
runs for only a few weeks. Tne lirst
prize is SI,OOO, the second SSOO, third,
S3OO, etc., a total of 56 prizes, and in
addition all participants are allowed
a liberal commission.
As they want one cr more live sub
scription representatives in this sec
tion, those interests should communi
cate with the publishers at once.
