Dr. Stockton Axson, of Princeton uni versity. brother-in-law of President elect Woodrow Wilson, who was one of |K Mr. Albert How - . ell's dinner guests j at the Capital City | club last night, is an old University of Georgia boy. i 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! ' Game Warden Jesse Mercer is de , termined to enforce the game law—and is doing it. The othei night he stopped a church THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.SATURDAY. DECEMBER 21,1912. 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.” Ralph Smith, who probably has been the hardest worked newspaper man in the world of late, breezed Into town last night and will spend Christmas here, Mr. Smith came straight from Ber muda, where he kept a vigilant but al together friendly eye on F’l ■ sident-eleet Wilson while that gentleman was en joying a well earned vacation, and Ralph more than looked healthy, and wealthy- and wise as he shook hands all around today. He says he is going to Washing!. right after the holidays and rest up a . bit, % 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.

The 1 senate had passed a bill appropriating i $5,000 for a statue to Pocahontas, spoken of in the committee’s report as i an "American Indian Princess.” Mr. Bailey opposed the growing American sentiment which seeks to respect the i memory of those who are worthy , through the erection of memorials. “If we continue to erect monuments . in this fashion," he said, "there will be . no more honor in a memorial of this i kind within a few years than {here is > in being a member of the United States . senate.

In 1861 they parted, never to see each other again. When Mrs. Rounsuville was in Wash ington, she was introduced to General Harmony. He was reviewing the war times and incidentally mentioned Colo nel Graves, who, before the war, had been his classmate, his messmate, ship mate and friend. He was greatly sur prised when Mrs. Rounsavlile told him that Colonel Graves had lived in Rome for many years previous to the time of his death a few years ago. I Last night Mrs. Graves, the widow of the Confederate warrior, received a let ter from Admiral Harmony, In which many tender sentiments were expressed. In another envelope was inclosed a pho. tograph of Colonel Graves, which the admiral had had ever since tlie Medi terranean cruise. ! VOTING MACHINES CUT ELECTION EXPENSES SOUTH BEND. IND..
