intimately known
and genuinely:
loved by hundreds
j of former college
mates throughout
the state.
“Stock" Axson
didn't have to
wait to become
a president-elect's
brother-in-law to
| become immensely
popular, moreover,
for at Athens in
the eighties ne
was, by common consent, given that
most envied of all youthful titles, “the
most popular man in college."
“Stock" Axson —presumably one
should.call him “Doctor," or, maybe,
“Doc" would do —was a more or less
serious-minded chap, and quite a stu
dent.
He was a minister’s son. and theoret
ically (not) should have been the col
lege cut-up, and all that. But he wasn’t.
On the contrary, he avoided the
“booze,” sidestepped the poker games,
got in reasonably early at night, and
I was altogether the sort of youngster a
1 preacher’s son is thought not to be gen
erally.
And, so, everybody’ liked him, and
talked nice things when he was out of
hearing, and backed him in everything
he said, and so on.
Axson demonstrated the fact that it
: is entirely’ possible at college to be a
rank favorite with the average run of
students, and still not be the village
cut-up and hit the toboggan for the
foot of the classes. ■
Axson's only intemperance at col
lege was in eating. He was the cham
pion heavyweight gastronomic shark of
the university . He cotild oat more than
“Item" Crawford and "Lengthy" Harde
-1 man put together—and that was going
some!
But the college was proud of Axson’s
eating, too! It immortalized that char
acteristic in the Pandora of '3B, in this
• classic quatrain:
“A is for Axson.
A modern St. Peter;
Drinks nothing at all —
But, good Lord, what an eater!"
You see, Axson was (he real goods,
' and everybody Is glad he is a presi
dent-elect’s brother-in-law. But they
liked him just as well before that hap
■ pened. Be mighty sure of that!

fair in Waycross, because the manage
ment was serving quail for a price—- I
which is squarely against the law.
The management of the fair patted
him on the back for calling It down,
moreover, and said the violation was
done in ignorance, and it hoped the
state warden would not prosecute. Mer
cer said he wouldn’t do that, but that
he would have to stop the sale.
As a result of his act, over a hundred
fine, plump quail, on toast, were given
away. And while the parson may be
shy a pair of slippers or so and necktie
at Christmas because of the calling
down the church fair management got,
there are no hard feelings in the matter.
Members pf the past eight or ten
Georgia legislatures will note with ap
proval and Interest the movement to
make Joe Hill Hall mayor of Macon.
Mr. Hall would, so his friends think,
make a first-class mayor of any town.
He is incorruptible, effective and cour
ageous to the limit Under his guiding
hand the affairs of Macon would be
conducted to the entire satisfaction of
the taxpayers—there will be very little
doubt as to that In anybody’s mind. Ho
not only would provide the city with
such municipal legislation as its neces
sities demand, but he would—and this
phase of the subject is most important
—be sure to head off obnoxious or class
legislation wherever it appeared.
Besides, with Joe Hill Hall mayor
Macon would get on the map in bigger
letters than ever before, for all his old
legislative colleagues would become
"rooters" for the town—and collectively
they would make a mighty more
over.
Representative Tinsley Ragland, Tal
bot county’s popular member of the
Georgia legislature, is a commercial
traveler between sessions. and fre
quently makes Atlanta.
He is here today, and talks most in
terestingly of the probable organiza
tion of the next house.
"I have been pretty well over the en
tire state within the past 90 days,” said
Mr. Ragland, “and It may as well be
, accepted now as a foregone conclusion
that ‘Bill’ Burwell, of Hancock, is to
win the speakership in a walk. Indeed,
I really believe he will be an unopposed
candidate on election day. Os course.
Burwell’s friends have been claiming
his election for several weeks, but I
investigated the matter for myself. As
nearly as I can figure, Burwell has not
less than 120 votes outspokenly for him
now—far more than sufficient to elect.
He is sure to be the next speaker.”

HEIO'SBOOYSENT
MME ON CRUISER
Final Honors Paid by England
to Memory of Dead Diplomat
and Newspaper Owner.
PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND, Dec. 21.
England's final honors were paid here
today to Whitelaw Reid, late American
ambassador to the court of St. James
They were largely military and naval,
and of such a character as are seldom
accorded a foreign official.
Amidst the thunder of a requiem sa
lute, the British cruiser Natal sailed
from Portsmouth harbor with the body
of the dead diplomat on board. This
was the last chapter in a remarkable
series of tributes which have been paid
to the memory of the late ambassador
since his death in London last Sunday.
Solemn and imposing scenes attend
ed the removal of the body from Dor
chester house, London, to this city.
With the coffin covered with a silken
American flag, the body of the late
diplomat was borne on a gun carriage
through the streets of London from
Dorchester house to Victoria station,
with a military escort compose’d of a
detachment of the royal household cav
alry and a battalion of the Scots
Guards.
Thousands Watch Cortege.
Thousands of silent and reverent men
and women lined the London streets
through which the cortege passed
Their quietness and orderliness gave
the special details of police little to do.
A salute of nineteen guns from a
battery in St. James park marked the
departure of the cortege from Dorches
ter house. Pipers from the regimental
bands of royal household cavalry and
the Scots Guards played a dirge.
Immediately behind the gun carriage
rode Major Squlers, U. S. A., military
attache to the United States embassy
in London.
There was an impressive scene at
Victoria station in London. Many- dis
tinguished Americans and the staff of
the United States embassy were pres
ent. A military band played the "La
ment” and “Abide With Me” as the spe
cial train which brougth the remains
here moved out.
Chapel Built on Deck,
The admiralty was in charge of the
body after its arrival here. Naval of
ficers acted as pallbearers when the
coffin was carried on board the Natal
and placed in the mortuary chapel
which had been erected on the quar
terdeck.
The cruiser's flag was half-masted
and it will remain so throughout the
voyage to New York.
Minute guns -were fired as the Natal
left the naval pier and all the other
craft in the harbor flew the American
ensign.
As the Natal passed out to sea the
Victory, flagship of Admiral Nelson,
fired nineteen minute guns as the final
farewell of England to all that was
mortal of Whitelaw Reid.
