Judge Cobb Witness in Famous
Huff Estate Case in Macon Court
Judge Andrew J. Cobb was a visi
tor in Macon yestprday. going down
to bn present at the session of the
federal court which is hearing the
matter of the Huff estate—a case
which is now famous. In a proceed
ing several years ago Judge Cobb was
appointed special master and Ills ex
periences and relations with the case
in that capacity carried him to Macon
yesterday.
Some Unusual Features.
One Athens attorney who Is famil
iar with the now celebrated case
slated yesterday that an unusual fea
ture was that the long fight made in
the courts by W. A. Huff—now an
old man—had worked unintentional
good to Mr. Huff. AVhtn the case
was first brought into court it is said
that the estate was not solvent—that
the debts would have more than con
sumed the property. Mr. Huff was
persistent in his contentions and as
the years went by the property en-
hanetd more rapidly by a good deal
titan the interest on the debts in
creased. Now. while the estate i9
being wound up it is found that Mr.
HufT is about $25,000 to the good—in
stead of being unable to square with
the world.
It was stated by some of the insur
ance men here yesterday that the
celebrated Bums detective agency
will likely be set to work to find J
C. Moore, for whom a warrant was
taken out here Monday charging
larceny after trust.
It was stated yesterday that the
furniture in bis former office has
been attached for obligations; that
the automobile he left in the ware
house of the Griffeth Company was
covered again by another citizen who
Dims part of certain commissions
on policies.
Jury Has Verdict, But It’s Now
Sealed and May Not Be Opened
If Expected Settlement Is Made
Yesterday in the city court of Ath
< ns the Jury in the case of Williams
versus the Southern National Life
Insurance Company found a verdict.
What that verdict Is may never
positively be known.
The verdict was agreed to and the
court ordered that it be sealed—
pending a prospective settlement. It
Is likely that a message by wire this
morning will be the final step toward
an adjustment In settlement from the
court and the jury.
In case the telegram does not come
or does not endorse an agreement
which might be < asily reached, it is
baid, then the jury would open its
verdict and the case would proceed
nr if no settlement had been pending.
Some months ago J. O. Williams
died from the effects of a gun-shot
nnd the coroner's jury returned
p. verdict of suicide. He had two life
insurance policies with the Southern
National Life Insurance Company.
One was for $1,000 and one for $
000. The suit is the result of differ
encts about the payment of th- se
policies.
Things Too Risque for the Mails
to Accept and the Papers to Print
It is said by one in Athens who is
In position to know something of the
case that Mr. W. A. Huff of Macon,
who has been attacking Judge Em
ory Speer so bitterly for some
months, lias prepared an eighty-page
article which as soon ns the present
louring in court is over he will car
ry to Washington and place in per
son on the desk of every senator and
representative—a copy of each. It is
said that those who have been treated
to an advance perusal of th- story
report that the eighty pages contain
some very salacious matter—matter
which the newspapers cannot afTord
lo print in their columns nnd which
the postal authorities will not trans
mit through the mall. This is the
report about the "warm articles"
which the veteran of Macon is to
fight the federal court judge with.

Yesterday while a sign was being
painted on the red front of the store
of .the Capitol Woolen Mills Company
the swinging ladder slipped at one
end and two painters, Frank Suddeth
and Charles Ethridge, were thrown to
the stone pavement, fifteen or twenty
feo.t below.
S'.ddeth hung to the rope and par
tially slid in his downward plunge
toward the sidewalk and broke the
force of his fall, hitting feet fore
most. Kthridge fell In a heap, how
ever. from the middle of the plank
which had swung from loop to loop
of the ropes on pulleys. He was quite
painfully hurt. A rib or two were
broken and there were bruises and
contusions in several places. The
blow on the head was a severe one
and caused considerable pain also.
White paint was splashed all over
the front of the store, the screen
doors, the sidewalk, and the ropes
and windows—even on the manager
of the place who was on the side
walk.

should be teachers who are aflame
with rational ideals and purposes;
but who are also steeped in reality,
to their very throat-latches.
Fourth. We believe that the teach
ers of the faculty should be intimate
ly acquainted with the indoor con
cerns of their department, intimately
acquainted with the best that tho
great world is thinking and doing in
their departments; but also that they
should be accurately schooled in out
door, economic and social conditions,
causes, and consequences in Georgia,
in direct, first-hand v.-ays.
Fifth. We believe that the school
is one of the mightiest agencies of
social uplift; and that no teacher can
help to make this school such an
agency unless he is directly and vi
tally related to the human-life priTo-
lims of the community and the state.
Sixth. We believe that a teacher
has a right to be a citizen and a pa
triot; that to be less than either or
both is to be a mere teacher, and
tjiat a mere teacher is something less
than a full statured man or woman—
a tertium quid, a third sex, it may be.
a neuter!
Seventh. We believe that this
school has betrayed the high calling
wliereonto the state has called it if
Its graduates do not set their hands
to their tasks as teacher-citizen-pa
triots. as lovers of their kind and
their country, with keen realization
•f home conditions and needs, with
mighty and mellow sympathy and
concern, with growing love for com
munity and county, state and country,
and with high resolve to glorify com
mon tasks, common duties, and com
mon relationships in faithful, self-for-
gitfiil devotion.
Eighth. We belifve that in the
measure in which we and they shall
satisfy these ideals will be all love
the school more, our home counties
more, our state more, and serve them
tetter, both now and in all the years
to come.
