Hospital Board Decides It Has
No Power to Change Regula
tions and Asks Relief.
At the monthly meeting of the board
of trustees of the Grady hospital at the
Institution’s annex yesterday the mem
bers discussed the question of whether
the hospital should open its doors to
private patients of reputable physi
cians and she extent of the board s pow
er in making rules and regulations.
Four of the hospital’s medical board,
Drs. Willis F. Westmoreland, Cyrus W.
Strickler. L. P. Stephens and W. A.
Crowe, appeared with a resolution re
questing that the board of trustees re
scind a rule permitting private patients
to use the hospital. The position of the
committee was that such an arrange
ment made affairs at the Institution
chaotic and was a thoroughly bad and ■
disorganizing practice. Another point 1
which the situation suggests, according
to Dr. Westmoreland, Is that since pri
vate patients are admitted at the rate
of $25 a week for board, the Grady is
put in the position of running in com
petition with private sanitariums.
Left to City Attorney.
W. S. Elkin,, of the board of trus
tees, moved to amend the hospital s by.
law on this point so as to satisfy the
medical board and at the same time re
lieve the hospital of an embarrassing
situation. Trustee W. E. Martin ques
tioned the board's power to change the
rules.
"That point has been decided by the
city attorney,” declared F. .1. Spratling,
"and he says the board can pass any
rules it wishes that are not in conflict
with city ordinances."
Mr. Martin and the others then con
sented to let the city attorney settle
the matter.
Superintendent W. B. Summerall's
report for June showed an average of
136 patients in the hospital per day, an
average cost per patient of $1.86, and a
total of 371 ambulance calls. Dr. Sum.
merall reported that a defective and
noisy elevator outside was giving trou
ble and had even caused patients to
leave the hospital. “You can hear it
now,” declared Dr. Summerall as the
lift started up.
"That’s a saw. Isn’t it'’" Inquired
Mayor Winn.
“No, that's our elevator." explained
Dr Summerall.
During the summer months mothers
of young children should watch for any
unnatural looseness of the bowels.
When given prompt attention at this
time serious trouble may be avoided.

YOU SHOULD ANSWER
THEIR QUESTIONS
When Children Ask Questions They Are
Deserving of Intelligent and
Ready Replies.
Whoever heard tell of a child that did
not ask questions? it is a part of Their
education. Even before children reach
the school age inquisitiveness Is one of
their chief characteristics.
But, more is the pity, children d-- not
always get intelligent answers to their
questions. Usually this is due t<> a lack
of proper reference hooks in the hotne.
The Georgian took this into consideration
when it selected the Standard Atlas and
Chronological History of the World for
distribution to its readers.
This is a book for ready reference,
filled from cover to cover with interesting
and instructive material relating to our
own country as well a** the entire world,
•lust the things that one wants to know
in a minute and can not be expected to
remember. Take, for instance, the chap
ters treating the history of the world,
which begins with the first important
event and follows all hlstorx down to the
present year And it is all set forth in
such convenient form that one can find
at a glance by referring to the year, just
the information sought Besides, tberr
are ninety full pages of colored maps
which cover the entire globe b\ countries
departments, districts, provinces and
states. Then there are many other sub
jects which never before appeared in a
book of this character, all of which goes
to make The Georgian s Atlas a work of
reference that should be in every home.
For a short time you can get this val
uable Atlas by presenting six headings

COL. HUFF IS A FIGHTER; ’
SPEER A SCRAPPER, TOO
Interest in the acrimonious controversy now waging between
•bulge Emory Speer and Colonel W. A. Huff is not confined to
Maron. Both men are widely known, having for many years
played an important part in politics and in public affairs. Here
follow character sketches of the two:
Huff, at 81, Still
Has a Punch
As a rule, when a man finds himself
"ith the weight of 81 years on his ,
shoulders, he gives up the fighting game
and prepares to spend the remaining i
years of his life peacefully.
But not so with Colonel W. A. Huff, i
of Macon. For years and years down tn
Macon he has been known as a man i
with decided opinions and a man who i
never hesitated to express* them in plain I
words and who would fight at the drop
of lite hat. Yes. and he will drop the
hat himself.
So when lie told United States Judge
Emory Speer a tiling or two and wrote i
what many other people in Macon would i
like to have written but who lacked the
nerve, those who know Colonel Huff
were mu surprised.
Phere are thousands who remember
the time when Colonel Huff and Wes
ley Patterson Jumped about this state
and several others In special trains and
private ears trying to dodge high sher
iffs and shoot out their differences as
Southern gentlemen used tu settle dis
putes. Both men were anxious to tight
and nobody could have been more anx
ious titan Colonel Huff.
Hasn’t Lost Fearlessness.
That was years ago when Colonel
Huff was not burdened with the weight
of his si years. But while he may
have lost some of the physical strength
and activity he possessed at that time,
he lias lost none of his fearlessness and
ills inclination to tight for what he
believes to be right.
When lie was mayor of Macon, back
in the seventies, he made things move,
and under his administration the town
progressed. It was Colonel Huff who
put Macon's noted Central City park on
the map, and it was he who started
holding the big state fairs there. And
up until tills day Colonel Huff has
fought for tile preservation of this park
and for tile perpetual holding of state
fairs there. He has never hesitated,
too, to fight for tilings he had a hand
tn doing when lie was mayor.
They sent him to the legislature from
Bibb and he kept things moving in tile
capitol. He was always on the job.
and whenever he saw or thought he saw
somebody trying to slip something over,
he had tilings to say in a manner all
his own.
A political campaign in Macon with
out Colonel Huff taking a prominent
part is like a show' with the scenery and
costumes shipped by mistake to an
other town. A political campaign in
Macon would not bo interesting if the
colonel was not espousing somebody's
cause or rather trying to put a crimp
in the other fellow.
He's Some Speechmaker.
He can make a speech which sizzles
and which will make reporters work
their pencils on note paper with fever
ish anxiety. Frequently he lias made
such speeches in Macon meetings and
has expressed his opinion of men pres
ent and their actions. He knew when
ho made these speeches that he was lia
ble to have to defend hitnself. but he
didn't mind doing that.
Sor.etimes his opinions about public
men and their actions would be too hot
for the newspapers to print. Or maybe
they would be too long and only a short
synopsis could lie printed. Then Colo
nel Huff would have ills expressions
printed In hand-bill or pamphlet form,
and lie would see that they were thor
oughly distributed.
Only recently he attacked his two
colleagues on the Macon board of water
commissioners in this manner and told
things in his frank manner.
He has had troubles, too, has Colonel
Huff. His troubles would have crushed
many a man and sent him to his grave.
But Colonel Huff has a spirit which
neither 81 years nor sickness nor loss
of fortune can crush.
Once Wealthy Man.
There was a time w hen he was one
of Macon's wealthiest citizens. His
home was the show place of the town
and lie took a leading part in the in
dustrial activities. The remnants of
his fortune got into Judge Speer's court
nearly thirteen years ago and the liti-

Judge Speer’s Talents
Are Manifold
Down in Macon, it has been said, the
people are divided Into two sets —those
who hate Emory Speer vehemently and
abidingly and those who think the
judge is all right and just about the
smartest man In Georgia.
He's the sort of tnan whom one can
not regard with apathy. You’ve just
got to like him immensely or dislike
him emphatically.
Shout "Hurrah for Emory Speer” on
Mulberry street and one of two things
will happen; you’ll either be pummeled
within an Inch of your life or else lift
ed on the shoulders of a dozen men and
carried to the nearest near-beer em
porium. where each in turn will buy
you a drink and propose a toast. It
just depends on which crowd happens
to be around.
Fought For South: Graduate of Georgia
He was a w onder at college, they say.
And he fought four years in the Con
federate states army before going to
the University of Georgia, which grad
uated him with highest honors in 1869
It took him Just ten years after gradu
ation to get to congress, though his
campaign was one of the bitterest in
Gemgta politics. He served two terms
at Washington, then was appointed
United States district attorney. After
two years of this, in 1885, lie was made
United States judge of the Southern
district of Georgia. He has sat on that
bench for 27 years. and It la a
dull month In litigation when Judge
Speer can not break Into the front
pages of the newspapers.
He has made some notable decisions,
many of which have stirred up parti
san feeling in his home town and his
section. One of the most important
decisions was that in which he dis
missed a negro from the Bibb county
chaingung. holding that it was a viola
tion of the Federal constitution to sen
tence a citizen to infamous punishment
without trial before a jury of his peers.
This decision In favor of a humble
negro felon fanned into a flame the
long smouldering animosity against
Judge Speer because of his Republican
politics. But the Judge doesn’t worry
about animosity. He tights back.
No Better Georgia Orator.
As an orator the judge has no supe
rior in Georgia. A scholar of rare at
tainments, he has the knack of ex
pressing himself in the most beautiful
and impressive English This, with a
fine physique and an imposing pres
ence. makes him a public speaker with
but few equals in the country.
He takes particular delight In en
gaging in repartee from his bench
Many a poor young upstart of a law -
yer has felt the lash of the judge's
caustic tongue, though doubtless it has
never been his intention to be unkind.
There is just one case on record in
which Judge Speer has met his master
at verbal byplay.
An old negro, charged with illicit
distilling, faced him one day.
“What's your name?” asked the
judge.
“My name's Joshuway,” the darky
replied.
“Oh. you're the tnan that made the
sun stand still,” the Judge remarked.
“Naw, sir, boss." Joshua replied, with
infinite condescension in his voice, "Use
de nigger what made de moon shine."
The Judge let the case proceed with
out further questioning
gation over this caused the present con
troversy.
A few years ago, during one of the
state fairs. Clone! Huff was thrown
from a buggy and his leg and arm were
broken. Nearly everybody said Macon
had heard the last of Colonel Huff. For
he was an old man then and few old
men survive injuries he sustained.
But he fooled them all. He fought
a battle with death for weeks and
months and he won out. Although the
marks of this fight still show upon him.
he is very, very active for a man of 81
years and the courage and the fiery
spirit of a half century ago are still
with him.
