Bill Miner, The
Honored Hero
The attention and respect
shown the late Bill Miner, robber,
train-wrecker and all round de
generate and crook, by the good
people of Milledgeville, were both
harmrul and disgusting.
Miner was a man whose only
claim to greatness was that he
had never earned an honest dol
lar and lived only by the baser
instincts of a bold and cunning
craft-stealing. The greater por
tion of his three score and ten
years was spent behind prison
bars. He was possessed of a
wonder-mind of falsifying, and a
great determination to live with
out labor. The Georgia peniten
tiary is full of such characters,
white and black, who are the
equals of Bill Miner, but who are
a little less spectacular in their
achievements. When the afore
said crook and degenerate gave
up his worthless, immoral career
by passing up his checks at the
state prison farm, the notables of
the cultured city of Milledgeville
vied with each other in paying
homage to this immoral criminal,
degenerate. They rushed to the
penitentiary as soon as death had
severed his shackles, tenderly
bore his remains to the best un
dertakers of their city, had the
body embalmed, and placed him
in State, so to speak, so that the
young men and young women of
that School city might look with
admiration and respect upon the
great Bill Miner, criminal and
crook. The evil effect of tnis
upon the young men of that city

is easy to imagine. For a week
they kept him thus, and thou
sands looked upon Milledgeville’s
adopted idol. How the great ex-
Cnpital of Georgia, the cultured
: City of Milledgeville, must have
' suffered at the sight of her lead
| ers placing such respect upon
such a man, and such an exam
' pie of worship of such a criminal
before the innocent boys and girls
of Georgia who congragate there
to be taught high ideals. He
died a week before the gathering
of the great army of boys and
girls that congregate in that city
I for the purpose of being taught
I to live lives of honesty and purity
but the great minded and sympa
thetic notables of that city would
not suffer thb remains of their
recently acquired idol to be buried
until this great army of purity
and innocence should have an op
portunity of paying their respect
to the man who had always de
fied the laws of God and man.
At last they buried him! It must
have been hard for them to give
him. They knew that it might be
years before the criminal courts
of Georgia would send to their
fair city such an example of law
lessne®s to lie in State before
the great body of young Georgi
ians who are taught in the schools
supported and maintained by
Georgia taxes. But the best of
friends must part, and the great
est of idols must be buried. It
must grieve them yet. But it
had to be done. One of the best
people of that fair city selected
a choice lot in the cemetery where
some of Georgia’s noble, Chris
tian men and -women await the
resurrection, and placed beside
them this degenerate crook, who
knew no God, who recogonized
no law! He was not buried by
the chaplain of the penitentiary,
he was not carted to his resting
place with a prisdn team, he was
not escorted by guards and war
dens-not this their hero, but by
the society ceremony that is print
ed in books was he administered
to, in the whitest hearst and
pulled by the most beautiful
horses, was he conveyed, and the
bankers, professional men and
public officials were pall-bearers
on this great occasion. It is said
that the whole city, save alone
the expressman, shed copious
tears when the printed religion
| read “Dust to dust, Ashes to
। Ashes.”
| While all this was going on
there was another man who had
THE BULLETIN, IRWINTON, GEORGIA
passed in his checks and was
making his way to Peter’s Gate.
He was born and reared in the
hostoric county of Baldwin, and
the now city of Milledge-Miner.
He joined the church at the age
of sixteen and up to the hour of
his departure he paid homage to
the laws of God and man. He
harmed no man, he robbed no
person, express company or other
wise. When the call to Southern
manhood in 1830 was gathering
together the Baldwin Blues, he
was one the first to step out and
follow that call. For four years
he did his duty. When he re
l turned he faced the terrible con
i ditions of carpet bag government
and he never failed. It was a
hard struggle to acquire an hon
iest living, but he did. When he
I died, he waa penniless. He was
buried the next day in the pau
■ per’.s fielp near that great city of
| Milledge-Bill, surrounded only by
i the poor widow who had lost her
: all. The young boys and gir’s,
sons and daughters of the men
who followed Lee and Jackson,
looked with curious indifference
at the crude coffin as they passed
•it by. The great notables of that
icity were too busy answering
calls, receiving customers or play
ing poker to attend the funeral
of the dead pauper, who had lived
honest for seventy two years,
who had followed the commands
of Stonewall Jackson, who had
fought the oppression of North
ern interference. This is all.
But when that old pauper soldier
passed over the river under the
shade of Jackson’s Tree, and
gave to the Tiler at Peter’s Gate,
the "pass words, HONESTY,
DUTY, CAVALRY. The Grand
master of the Universe said “Let
him enter in the name of the
Lord.”
Young man, Young woman, Bill
Miner was a disgraceto mankind,
you owed him no respect or false
worship. It pays to be honest.
