BUSINESS MEN RUN
A TRADE SPECIAL
ACCEPT INVITATION FROM THE
BOARD OF TRADE TO VISIT
BRUNSWICK

The following from yesterdays
Macon Telegraph says the invitation
from the Brunswick Board of Trade
has been received and the booster
train" will probably stop here for a
day at least during which visitors will
take in st. Simon's:
More than a score OF reservations
for the Macon trade special train
through Central and South Georgia
have been assured and at a meeting
of the business men yesterday after
noon, with r. F. Lawton, as chairman
committees were named to complete
the details. A meeting of the COM
mittee on transportation will be held
this morning at IL o'clock at the
Chamber of Commerce.
AT the meeting yesterday after
noon, at which a number of business
men We're in attendance, it was den'
nitely decided to operate the train
over the route through Central and
South Georgia and an effort will be
made by the transportation commit
tee to visit as far as possible, all
towns that have invited the Macon
delegation to visit them.
"A telegram from the Brunswick
Board of Trade has urged that the
trade special" stop there at least one
day. 1t is probable that the commit
tee will arrange the itinerary so that
the delegation can visit Brunswick
and from there take a side trip to st,
Simons Island.
"The trip, which will consume four
days will cost $50 per passenger,
which includes meals, berth and all
necessary expenses on the trip.
This amount also includes the ex-
pense of the crack Macon drum and
bugle corps, which scored such a hit
on the trip that was made by the
Macon booster train through South
Georgia last year. u
Drum Major Abe Abrahams stated
Yesterday that the drum corps has
been invited to visit Chattanooga
Tenn, in Senptember but that the
corps would gladly abandon the Chat
tanooga trip to be able to go on the
trade special and boost for Macon"

FINE CROP REPORT
FROM ALL GEORGIA
THIS SECTION OF THE SOUTH
HAS MORE CORN THAN
EVER BEFORE.

This year, when the west is failing
when hay and corn and all foodstuff
promises to be up to the highest
point of years, it is exceptionally de-
lightful to realize that our section is
coming to the forefront with more
corn than ever before in its history
and added to it the hay crop stands
for something of great worth. Then
along comes the cotton crop, too,
that has been making wonderful pro-
gress since it got out of the kinks
in late spring, insuring the entire
southeast an era of prosperity.
With corn at dollar bushel this
work of expanding production is an
undertaking in which any one might
well be glad to take a part and when
the business men of any city take it
up and foster the work they are do
ing some real foundation building for
greater trade and eventually making
many farmers prosperous against
their wills In the end all profit by
the undertaking.
The advantages accomplished by
the study of modern methods are
many among them may be cited first
of all the increased interest in live
stock which is invariably manifested
by the farmers who grow hay and
grain. In several counties of Georgia
the tick eradication work has been
successfully started and the progress
made together with the enthusiasm
shown by the farmers is surely in
dicative of expansion along this
line.
Live stock farming brings better
/ farming of all kinds too, and the best
methods are sure to be applied when
once it is introduced in any phase
of work. Take an improved piece of
machinery in any place and it leads
to the introduction of the best wher-
ever possible.
1t is gratifying to Georgians and
the people throughout this section OF
! the south to realize that the work
they have done in this direction has
been fruitful and the outlook is
bright for prosperity to continue.

TALKS ON THRIFT
SAVING FOR A HOME

THE man who owns his own house,
who owns the roof over his head and the
ground under his feet, whose children

own gives to himself and TO his family
a chance a thousand times better than
that Of the individual who Is living in a
box called an apartment. Don't buy
what you can't afford to pay for. But
remember that If you are really able to
pay the average rent, you are also able
to pay and gradually buy the home and
own it."-Arthur Brisbane.
A trust company in Chicago recently re-
eeived from one of its depositors this let
ter:
Il beg to inform you that 1 wish to

wish to use my savings in paying for it.
l have no one to thank for this start but
your bank. 1t took me a long time to
save what l have, but 1 never missed
what have put away"
Home ownership is one of the most
worthy objects for which you can work
and save, because, when that aim is real
lied, you have taken a long step toward
becoming really independent. If you are
not sufficiently master of yourself to curb
your inclination to spend your income
foolishly.. you can never be independent
of others. You always will be paying
somebody rent, interest, or tribute of some
kind One of the truest things Shake
speare ever wrote is this: mo man is

your own home and then you can emulate
the spirit of Rob Roy, Sir Walter SCOTS
hero, who proudly said: My foot is on
my native heath and my name is Mac
Gregor." Lord Bacon said He that hath
a wife and children hath given hostages
to fortune" In modern language, that
means that when you have a family to
support you must make good.''
No matter how thoughtless and extrava-
CANT you may have been before, when you
have a family to care for you're not much
of man If you do not start to save
money for the future needs of those de-
pendent upon you, and certainly one of the
prime needs is a roof over their heads.
But don't pay for landlords house. A
roof of your own will cover the most hap
piness.
1t is worth a lifetime of scrupulous
economy, If in the evening of life you can
be seated before your own firesde, ample
provision having been made to care for
you and yours. The reason SO many are
frendless and homeless is because the
price of comfort apparently is too high
for them. To sacrifice habits that neither
enlarge ones scope of vision nor bring
any permanent joy, is to the average man
a burdensome task.

HUFF IS GUILTY OF
CONTEMPT OF COURT
BY GRUBb DECISION
Believed, However, That
Sentence Will Be Suspend
ed in the Case of Aged
Macon, Ga, Man

Macon. Ga, June Especial Col.
w A. Huff has been found guilty of
contempt of court for writing two caus-
tic and highly sensational letters TO
Judge Emory speer, says the Macon
News
The decision of Judge w. l. Grubb of
Birmingham, who presided over the
trial of the aged and venerable defend
ant was announced this morning. Judge
Grubb sent a copy of his opinion to
Attorney General Thomas S. Fielder,
who Is counsel for Colonel Huff, and
Mr. Fielder forwarded a copy of the
Judges letter to Colonel Huff.
Judge Grubb authorizes either Mr..
Fielder or Colonel Huff to announce his
decision.
The statute makes the sentence In
contempt cases discretionary with the
court Judge Grubb may sentence Col
onel Huff to jail, or fine him, or both
Opinion in Macon in legal circles is that
the sentence, whatever it may be, will
be suspended.
The act for which Colonel Huff has
been found in contempt of court was
the sending of two letters to Judge
Speer on the night of July 81, 1912 The
following day he was arrested on an
attachment issued against him by the
Judge. On August / he was arraigned
for trial, and after the trial had been
entered upon, Judge Emory Speer made
long statement from the bench. adj
dressing a deeply interested audience
and, in conclusion. he announced that
he would get another judge to try the
case.
On May 2, this year, after the final
decree in the Huff bankruptcy litiga-
ton had been passed, Colonel Huff an
nounoed that he inteded to publish
copies of his letters and would dis
tribute them in pamphlet form. He
also declared that he would proceed
with the impeachment proceedings
against Judge Speer. Shortly thereafter
Judge Grub was assigned to try the
case, and District Attorney o. d. Street
of Alabama was designated to prose-
cute, the local district attorney, Alex
ander Alderman, being relieved at his
own request. The trial lasted three
days. Colonel Huff admitted writing
the letters. and in his statement on the
stand he did not retract anything that
he had written, nor expressed any re-
gret for having sent the letters.
Upon learning that he had been found
guilty, Colonel Huff said
The verdict is what / expected. At
the time 1 wrote those letters to Judge
Speer last summer, | entertained a
vague idea that perhaps / was com
hitting contempt of court However, I
was not as familiar then as | am now
with the law on contempt. 1 worte the
letters simply and solely for the pur-
pose of telling Judge Speer, man, to
man, what l thought of him, and of his
methods of handling my bankruptcy
case. He knows, and the public knows,
and on that point 1 am satisfied There
never was any intention on my part to
attack the judiciary or to bring it into
disrepute / was aiming solely at Judge
Speer. AS to the verdict of Judge Grubb,
| have no protest to make and no crit
icism to offer. L feel that l have been
treated by a fair and absolutely i'm
partial tribunal, and I shall accept
without murmur whatever punish
ment may be meted out to me-"

Gary is one of the rare examples of high
success in difficult and vast executive un-
dertaking compassed by a lawyer. AS a
general thing, lawyers speak Of them
selves as the analyzers and critics in a
kindly sense OF constructive work or plans
entered upon by men who nave achieved
greatly in business. Yet Judge Gary could
look about him and call to mind after a
few moments reflection, a considerable
number of men whose training was at the
bar and whose early triumphs were gained
there who afterward achieved even more
greatly as business executives directing
very large undertakings.
Judge A. w. Greene was a lawyer of es-
tablished reputation before he assumed
the executive management of one of the
gratest of American corporations. Judge
Robert Lovett, now successor of E. II.
Hartman as president of the Union Pa
cific. was trained as a lawyer, and gained
his knowledge of railroad executive di-
rection chiefly through his association as
counsel of the Union Pacific. Frederick
w. Whitridge was esteemed as an ex-
ceedingly skillful and able lawyer, cap
dDle OI SlNlIlS Ine WlSeSt touISci ~ ihC
directors of large corporations. Mr..
Whittridge was suddenly called from his
law offices to an executive responsibility
involving the gravest difficulties. Some of
those were political in the sense that he
had to deal with city governments and the
Albany legislature.
Some of them were financial. but he at
last accomplished the reorganization and
revitalizing of one of the greatest urban
railway properties in this country, and
did that in such manner as to leave bril-
liant tradition. George F. Baer went from
professional practice at the bar to the
exceedingly difficult post of executive
head of the Reading railroad. Charles
Peabody, one of New York's ablest law
yers, was called to the executive control
of one of the greatest of the life insur-
ance corporations of the world, and the
choice of him has been abundantly justi-
fled.
A Farmers Boy
Judge Gary began life. as he testified the
other day, upon a western farm, and his
early vocation was as a boy upon his
fathers farm. Industry and tenacity of
purpose found for him the way to study
law to secure admission to the bar and to
enter upon practice at the Chicago bar. 1t
was in the course of this practice that he
