OITY TO RULE ON
GRADY PAY CASES]
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 the extent of the board’s pow
er In making rules and regulations.
Four of the hospital’s medical board,
firs. Willis F. Westmoreland. Cyrus W.
Strickler, 1.. 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
which the situation suggests, according
to Dr. Westmoreland, Is that since pri
vate patients are admitted at the rate
of 525 a week for board, the Grad.' Is
put in the position of running In com
petition with private sanitariums.
Left to City Attorney.
\V. 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 ami at the same time re
lieve the hospital of an iibarrasslng
situation. Trustee W. E. Martin ques
tioned the board's power change the
rules.
"That point has been decided by the
city attorney.” declared F. J. Spratllng,
"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? 1.56. 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 l
unnatural looseness of the bowels.

'COIThuFF IS a FIGHTER; [
SPEER A SCRAPPER, TOO !
- —1
Interest in the acrimonious controversy now waging between
•tndge Emory Speer and Colonel W. A. Huff is not confined to
M<ii mi. Both men are widely known, having for many years
iHI important part in polities and in public affairs. Here
follow character sketches of the two:
Huff, at 81, Still
Has a Punch
As a rule, whim a man finds himself
'vnh the weight of 81 years on his
shoulders, he gives up the fighting game
and prepares to spend the remaining
years of his life peacefully.
But not so with Colonel W. A. Huff,
of Macon. For years and years down in
Macon he has been known as a man
"ith decided opinions and a man who
never hesitated to express them In plain
words and "ho would fight at the drop
of th ■ hat. Yes. and he will drop the
hat himself.
So when he told United States Judge
I Emory Speer a thing or two and wrote
v. hat many other people In Macon would
like to have written but who lacked the
nerve, those who know Colonel Huff
were not surprised.
there are thousands who remember
the time whin Colonel Huff and Wes
ley Patterson jumped about this state
and several others In special trains and
private cars trying to dodge high sher
iffs and shoot out their differences as
Southern gentlemen used to settle dis
putes. Both men were anxious to fight
and nobody could have been more anx
ious than Colonel Huff.
Hasn't Lost Fearlessness.
That was years ago when Colonel
Huff was not burdened with the weight
of hts 81 .'ears. But while he may
have lost some of the physical strength
and activity he possessed at that time,,
he has lost none of his fearlessness and
his Inclination to fight for what he
believes to be right.
When lie was mayor of Macon, back
in the seventies, he made tilings move,
and under his administration the town
progressed. It was Colonel Huff who
put Macon's noted Central City park on
the map, and 1' was he who started
| holding the big state fairs there. And
up until this day Colonel Huff lias j
fought for the preservation of this park
and for the perpetual holding of state
fairs there. He has never hesitated,
too. to fight for tilings he had a hand
in doing when he was mayor.
Thm sent him to the legislature from
Bibb and he kept things moving in the
capitol. He was always on the job,
and whenever he saw or thought he saw
I somebody trying to slip something over,
he iiad things 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 be interesting if the
colonel was not espousing somebody's
! cause or rather trying to put a crimp
I 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 has made
| such speeches in Macon meetings and
I has expressed bis opinion of men pres
j ent and their actions. He knew when
I he marie these speeches that he was Ha -
' hie to have to defend himself, but he
! didn’t mind doing that.
Sometimes his opinions about public
men . nd their actions would be too hot
for the newspapers to print. Or maybe
thev would be too long and only a short
svnopsis could be printed. Then Colo
nel Huff would have his expressions
prin'.iil in hand-bill oi pamphlet form,
and lie would see that the,' were thor
oughl> distributed.
Only recently he attacked his two
i olleagio s on the Macon board of water
commissioners in this manner and told
things in his frank manner.
He has had troubles, too, has < ’olonel
Hutt’. His troubles would have crushed
many a man ami sent him to his grave.
But 'Colonel Huff has a spirit which
neither 81 'ears nor sickness nor loss
of fortune can crush.
Once Wealthy Man.
There was a time "hen he was one
’of Macon's wealthiest citizen*. His
i home was the show place of the town
land he took a leading part in the in
| dustrial activities. The remnants of
i his fortune got into Judge Speer's court
nearly thirteen years ago ami 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 man "horn 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 puinmeled
within an Inch of your rife 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 difink and propose a toast. It
just depends on which crowd happens
to be around
Fought For South, Graduate of Georgia
He was a wonder at college, they say.
And he fought four years In the Con
federate states army before going to
the I’niversitj- 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
Gem gla politics. He served two terms
at Washington, then was appointed
United States district attorney. After
two years of this, in 1886. he was made
United States judge of the Southern
district of Georgia. He has sat on that
bench for 27 years. and It Is 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 hts
section. One of the most Important
decisions was that in which he dis
missed a negro from the Bibb county
ehaingang. holding tiiat ft 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 decigion 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 lights buck.
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, j
Many a poor voting 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 man that made the
sun stand still.” the judge remarked.
"Naw, sir, boss." Joshua replied, with
infinite condescension in his voice. ‘Tse
de nigger what made de moon shine."
The judge let the case proceed with
out further questioning
gation over this caused the present con- I
troversy.
A few years ago, during one of the
state fairs, Clonel 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.
Bui he fooled them all. He fought
a battle with death for weeks and
months arid he won out. Although the
marks of this tight 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.
