The announcement that the South-‘
eastern Fair and its big pageant Sat
urday night will not be included in th(“
quarantine order cloging theaters and |
other amusement houses, resulted Tues- ‘
day in renewed activities at the fair!
grounds, where the Spanish influenza !
situation had been causing some appre
hension. It was the opinion of the
health authorities that open-air gath- |
erings wouki not add to the danger of |
an epidemic, and the public should rath
er be encouraged to enjoy the fresh air |
at Lakewood. It Is seldom that the |
spacious buildings are crowded, and the |
fair management will see that there {s |
no congestion indoors. I
A glimpse of the fair grounds at Lake- |
wood Tuesday showed that prepara- |
tions are far ahead of past suhedules.t
when most of the exhibits came in on
the last day before the opening. The
track was dotted with running horses,
pacers and trotters, shipped to Lake- |
wood in advance of the race meeting |
which opens next Monday, and was |
found to be in excellent condition after |
the long stretch of dry weather. Racing
men predicted fast time in this season's |
events. }
The big Agricultural building’s main |
floor is bheing given over entirely to the |
Automobile Show this season. Tts (-on-'
crete floor was being given a new dress- i
ing of glossy paint, and its ceiling and |
walls were “completely hidden under a
mass of decorations, designed and plac
ed by Virgil W. Shepard, who has been |
at work for more than a week. |
“The Automobile Show this vear is |
a remarkable expression of business op
timism."” /said one of the fair nffi(’ials.l
“The auto dealers are paying $9,000 for |
space to exhibit cars when they have
hardly a car to sell.” |
The former Automobile Show building
has been given over to the Government |
exhibit of war materials and relics frum’
Furopean battle fronts, the first show- |
ing made by the Government at the
Southeastern Fair. Some of the exhib
its were arriving Tuesday.
Blooded cattle and hogs from the big
exhibitors of the [last and West were
arriving and being placed in the barns.
A new temporary building was being
completed for the poultry- and pigl-onl
show.
The fair officials were bending most |
of their efforts toward breaking an at
tendance record on Monday, l;iberl}'l
Day The QGirls’ Patriotic League is |
selling tickets for this day, and a part
of the proceeds wili go to their funds |
for war work. 1

In Now, Citizens Told

“Winter is just around the corner,”
was the word passed out Tuesday morn- |

It is true there is a falr supply of coal
on hand In Atlanta, but it also is true
that there is no prospdct of making
prompt deliveries, especially if there is
a sudden and general demand for fuel.
The thing to do manifestly is to stock
up early, before the rush.

The fact that the Liberty Pageant tol
be given at Lakewood next Suturd:w!
night has been excepted from the gen
eral closing order against the “flu' by
agreement of the city and State Boards |
of Health, has inspired the womeén in
charge to rmake the event even greater
than was at first planned.
“We were perfectly willing to aban- |
don the pageant had the authorities so |
desired,” stated Mrs. Linton Hopkins, |
regent of the Joseph Habersham Chap- |
ter of the . A. R., and the originator |
of the plan, ‘‘but now that they have so
distinctly said that the pageant should
be given, we feel we owe it %0 the peo
ple of Atlanta to give them something !
worth while. FEverything else will be |
closed except the pageant and the falr |
and we, therefore, want to make the|
pageant good enough to replace ajl these i
other amusements, We bespeak the
loyalty and co-operation of all who will|
particlpate to crown our efforts wirh|
Success !
Rehearsals for the different vpxsmioqi
of the pageant are being held nearly |
every afternoon and night this week at'
Lakewood, with a final dress xe-hv:\rsul;‘
of all Thursday afternoon. The pageant
is to be presented at 8 o'clock Satur
day night, with the audiences in the |
grandstand at Lakewood and the differ- ‘
ent scenes and tableaux staged in front |
of the grandstand on a mammoth stage, |
on the surrounding hills and on the |
lake itself.
H. B. Hubbell, well-known costumer,
is expected to reach Atlanta \Wednes
day morning from Bt. Louis, whither he |
was sent as a special representative.

with the most beautiful set of €OB~ |
tumes obtainable. These will be sup- |
plemented by hundreds of other flrlistir';

have been hard at work for weeks, |
It was stated Tuesday that the quar
antine at Camp Gordon will not af
fect the participation in the pageant of
the several military bands that will fur- \
nish music for the processional and for
the inspiring tableaux at the last, ““Co

An added feature was announced
Tuesday when the ladies secured the
services of Reese Veatch, Camp Gor

JACTES PHARMACY
THE MILES FAMILY
Elder John Miles, the First of His Name
In the New World—Richard, Samuel
and Griffith, the Three Brothers
From Wales Who Established a Big
Branch of Their Famll,y—toldlln an
Clergymen of the Family—Their Cour
age—The Arms of the Miles Famlly.‘
By FRANCES COWLES.
The Miles family in America is to-‘
day foremost among the great military
families of the country, and one might
naturally suppose that the ancestors of
these m»o{rle would be strong and in
trepid soldiers and fighters. But so far
as the genealogist can trace their origin
they seemn to have been men whose first
aim was the development of their high
est ideas of faith, ‘
The name itself is derived from the
first name Miles, one time a favorite
among the Hnglfsh. This name, stil
sometimes used in the Greek from Milo,
means ‘‘a crusher.” From the same
root we get our word mill.
The first man of the name in ‘America
migrated apparently for religious rea
sons. He was Elder John Miles, who
was born in 1621, and who at the age
of twenty-eight founded the first strict
communion Baptist Church near Swan
sea, on the south shore of Wales. Four
teen years later he, with some of his
brethren of the Baptist faith, emigrated
10 America, and settled in Bristol Conn
ty, Massachusetts, The settlers called
their settlement Swansea, after the
Welsh settlement they had left
In 1674, a yvear after his settlemient at
Swansea, Elder Miles was teaching
school in that place. He réceived a sal
ary of forty pounds a year for his serv
ices. which included “‘teaching grammar,
rhetoric, arithmetic and the tongues of
Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. Also to read
}‘lx’«lgllsh and to write.”
his is all that is known of Elder
Miles, except that he was distinguished
for his learning and piety, was an in
fluential man in his church, and died in
1683, But as the famous Indian massa
cre, which, though only a few whites
wers killed, was the direct cause of King
“‘hillip's War took place in Swansea in
1876, it is only natural to suppose that
Elder John had his part to play in those
stirring events. Whether he fought or
not, the man who had led the little
[purt_\- of settlers from their home in the
| old country must have gone through
much anxiety and many hardships.
There were several other first settlers,
and all of them seem to have been
Welsh. But just what the connection
between them all was—for undoubtedly
some existed-—still remains unknown.
Perhaps some enthusiastic genealogist
of the Miles family will some day trace
it out.
Probably the largest Miles family was
founded by the three Miles brothers-—
Richard, Samuel and Griffith. They left
Wales in 1682 and settled In New York
State. Concerning the deseendants of
Samuel, little js known. Richard, it is
said, bought his land before he left
Wales, and with his wife, farah, joined
the Great Valley Baptist Church, at
Great Valley, N. Y. He had the follow
ini children: Richard, James, Evan,
John, Jane, Sarah, Hannah and Abigail.
Griffith, the youngest of the three
first-settler brothers, married, in 1862,
Bridget Edwards, in the Friends' meet
ing house Later a serious controversy
broke oue among the Quakers and we
find that Griffith and his wife Bridget
were dropped from the Friends' meet
ing and joined the Baptist Church, in
which he evidently became a leader, for
his name frequently appears in Baptist
annals of the time.
Griffith and Bridget Miles had six
children, - Hester, Martha, Margaret,
Griffith, SBamuel and John, the first born
in 1693 and the Jast In 1709,
Among the articles mentioned by
Griffith at the time of his death are
“'six turkey-work ould chairs,” valued
at one pound, ten shillings,” *“ten oth
er chairs,” valued at one pound, nine
shillings, six ditto, apparently of an in
ferior variety, since they are rated at
only nine shillings, “earthenware and
glasses upon two mantlepieces at ten
shillings, sixteen half barrels of ‘flower
in the house, eleven pounds.”

son of Griffith and Bridget Miles, was

married about 1721 His children were !
three, Martha, Anne and Joseph. Joseph ]
was born in 1722 and married Ann Ne
smith, in 175¢, in Philadelphia she
wus a member of an old and honorable
Scoteh family They had twelve chil
dren, the youngest of whom was born
just one month after the signing of the
Declaration of Independence,
Jogseph possessed considerable wealth
at the time of his death. The inventory
of his possessions shows, among other
things. “Bible and Psalm Book, 2 can
dlesticks, thiree swarms of bees,” and
“Abraham. (the negro boy)." This
Abraham was, so the family say, the
last of his race ever owned by the Miles
family. The twelve childven of Joseph
and Ann Nesmith were [aucy, Lydia,
Griffith, Margaret, Joseph, John, Thom
as, Dorcas, Samuel, Jacob, Willlam and
Ann.
Griffith, the oldest son, was born in
1764, in Bucks County, Pa He mar
ried Jane Beans, a woman of fine char
acter, and very popular with all her
relatives nnd friends. She was widely
known after her marriage as ‘“‘Aunt
Jennie.” Griffith served in the Revolu
tionary War.
Their children, born between 1792
and 1800, were Jane. John, Lydia, Su
gan ahd Griffith, who at the age of
thirty-five came into possession of the
homestead. He died at the age of nine
ty-four without heir in his own line. The
family, through other hranches, is
widely distributed throughout Pennsyl
vania and other States of the Union.
Besides Lieutenant General Nelson
Appleton Miles, who entered the army
as a volunteer in 1861 and commanded
the army during the Spanish War in
1898, there have been other distin
guished soldiers of the family. Briga
dier General KEvan Miles, of the Penn
sylvania family, also served with dis
tinction in both the Civil and Spanish
Wars. Another Civil War soldier was
Colonel Dixon S. Miles, who was mor
tally wounded at Harper's Ferrv. Sam
uel Miles, born in Pennsylvania, in 1740,
served loyally in the Revolutionary War
and had the distinction of being one
of the first to espouse the cause of in
dependence,
Among the distinguished Miles men
who have not been warriors are Richard
Pius Miles born in Maryland in 1791 who
was a bishop of the Roman Catholic
Church and established the convent of
Dominican nuns In Springfield, Ky.;
Henry Adolphus Miles, of Massachu
setts, a Unitarian clergyman: James
Browning Miles, a clergyman in the
Congregational Church, and James War
ley Miles, an Episcopal clergyman of
