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
abidngly and those who think the
judge is all right and just about the
smartest man In Georgia
He's the sort of man 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 dozen men and
carried to the nearest near beer en-
porium, where each In turn will buy
you drink and propose a toast. II
just depends on which crowd happens
to be around
Fought For South, Graduate of Georgia
He was wonder 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 1859.
II took him Just ten years after gradu-
alton to get to congress. though his
campaign was one of the bitterest In
Georgia politics He served two terms
AT Washington. then was appointed
United States district attorney. After
two years of this, in 1855, he was made
United States Judge of the Southern
district of Georgia. He has sat on that
bench for 81 years. and 1t 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 his
section. One of the most important
decisions was that in which he dis
missed a negro from the Bibb county
chaingang, holding that 1t was viola
ton of the Federal constitution to SEN
tence citizen to infamous punishment
without trial before jury of his peers
This decision in favor OF a humble
negro felon famed into a flame the
long smouldering animosity against
Judge Speer because of his Republican
politics. But the Judge doesn't worry
about animosity. He fights back.
No Better Georgia Orator.
AS an orator the judge has no supe-
ror 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 d
fine physique and an imposing pres
enee, 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 poor young upstart of law
yer has felt the lash of the Judges
caustic tongue, though doubtless 1t 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 names Joshuway," the darby
replied
"Oh. you're the man that made the
sun stand still" the judge remarked
Nav, sir, boss Joshua replied. with
infinite condescension in his voice, Use
de Niger what made de moon shine ="
The Judge let the case proceed with
out further questioning

cation over this caused the present con
troyersy.
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.
But he fooled them all He fought
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 man of 81
years and the courage and the fiery
spirit of half century ago are still
with him.

Huff, at 81, Still
Has a Punch

AS a rule when a man finds himself
with the weight of 81 years on his
shoulders, he gives up the fighting game
ana prepares to spend the remaining
years of his life peacefully
But not 80 with Colonel W. A. Huff.
of Macon. For years and years down in
Macon he has been known as man
with decided opinions and man who
never hesltated to express them in plain
words and who would fight at the drop
Of the hat, Yes and he will drop the
hat himself.
So when he told United states Judge
Emory Speer a thing or two and wrote
what 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 when Colonel Huff and Yves
ley Patterson jumped about this state
and several others in special trains and
private cars trying to dodge high sher-
! ifs and shoot out their differences az
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 FearIessness.
/ That was years ago when Colonel
Huff WAS not burdened with the weight
of his 81 years. But while ne may
have lost some of the physical strength
and activity ne possessed at that time.
he has lost none of his fearlessness and
his inclination to fight for what he
believes to be right.
When he was mayor Of Macon, back
in the seventies, he made things move,
and under his administration the town
progressed. Ii 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 this day Colonel HUI has
fought for the preservation of this park
and for the perpetual holding of state
fairs there, He has never hesitated,
too to fight for things he had hand
in doing when he was mayor.
They 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
somebody trying TO slip something over,
he had things to say In manner all
his own
A political campaign in Macon With
out Colonel Huff taking a prominent
part is like show with the scenery and
costumes shipped by mistake to an
other town 4 political campaign in
Macon would not be 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 viii make reporters work
their pencils on note paper with fever
ish anxiety Frequently he has made
such speeches in Macon meetings and
has expressed his opinion of men pres
ent and their actions He knew when
he made these speeches that he was liza
Bile to have to defend himself but he
admit mind doing that
Sometimes 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 be printed Then Colo
mel Huff would have his expressions
printed in hand bill or pamphlet form

Opens the Eyes Of the Kent
County Nd. Farmers
With Fine Crops

CHEsTERTOWN, Nd, July 2e.-Ed-
ward A. Corey, of near Fairlee. is the
potato king Of Kent county In the
early spring Mr.. Corey. who got his
knowledge of potato growing in the
potato region Of New Jersey, deter
mined to risk weather conditions and
the expense incident to large tillage.
and he planted 80 arces in irish
Cobbler He turned under a fine scar
let clover sod, prepared his ground
well and used ] 800 pounds Of the best
fertilizer to the acre The weather con
ditions were good. and this week Mr.
Corey has been digging and market
ing his crop Of 5000 bushels OF as fine
potatoes as we're ever grown in this
county
He has sold the entire crop to a
New Jersey buyer. who quotes prices
and orders q carload shipped from
Worton Station everyday. Mr.. Corey's
potatoes are sold etery morning be-
fore they leave the station. and he will
average about 20 cents a bushel for
his crop He has used q digging
machine TO harvest his crop, has en-
ployed force of 10 men to pick W
and assort the potatoes and has paid
IS per day for hauling to the station
Mr Corey estimates his expense in
growing and marketing the crop al
about 81 ZOO He will, therefore, net
S4100 from his 80 acres. This is the
largest crop Of potatoes ever grown
in this county. and the net profit from
the small tillage has so opened ths
eyes of the farmers in this section
that II may revolutionize farming
methods in this county. AZ any rate
It is certain that Mr. Corey's venture
will lead to large tillags in potatoes
