CITY TD BULE ON' GRADY PAY GASES 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.

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.

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- PANAMAS $1.50 to and SIO.OO S TRA WS Values at Now HALF 75c PRICE to $5.00 Men’s, Boys’ and Children’s EISEMANBROS., inc. 11-13-15-17 Whitehall Street THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 1912. 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. CANDLER TO REAU FAIR COMMITTEE Capitalist Named by Commerce Chamber to Work for Geor gia Exhibit at ’Frisco. Asa G. Candler has been chosen by President Wilmer 1». Moore, of the Cham ber of Commerce, to head the committee which will work for a Georgia exhibit at the Panama-Pacific exposition In 1915.
