TRUSTEES State Normal School Trustees to Meet Here Friday Morning. PITER INJURED FELL BE 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. Trial for Contempt. Macon. Ga„ May 20.—The defense lost the first point ir. the contempt of court acse againBt Colonel W. A. llufT. whose trial b gan here today in federnl court, when Judge W. I.

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. Georgia Club” at State Normal Opens 1913 Commencement Events OFF TWO FINGERS A.

The judge gave them fines of $25 each. One spectator in court remarked as the sentences were imposed: “It’s got so a fellow can't get drunk now adays unless he gets off on a re nervation and fences himself in alone in a ten acre lot or else goes up into tlie tenth story of a building and leeks himsilf up in a padded room You have to take a dope clandestinely It's against tho law to keep a vial in your desk in the office, a jug in the 11 liar of your store; it's against the law- to carry a flask to the camp ground or to drink a nip around be hind the school house at a celebni lion: you ran't talk loud after eatin a spoiled apple on the highway nor net sick on the train.

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.
