PRAISE GOD, HUFF
SAYS, Of COURT
DECISION
Former Macon Mayor Wins
Faint in U. S. Supreme Court
AGAINST $4,000 Fee.

MACON. GA, Jan. 2S.-"This is but
Aha first stepping stone to stopping the
:.,.,,ous persecution of Walter A.
tI,rF" declared Colonel w. A. Huff,
ne AGED ex-mayor of Macon, whose

that the United States supreme court
had dismissed a petition TO review a
decree Of the United States circuit
.o,,rt setting aside an order of Dis
,4ct Judge Emory Speer that the es
,.tas Of attorneys who instituted the
o.nkruptcy proceedings be paid $4,000
out of Colonel Huff's property.
while [ was confident that the SUI

end"

The first information Colonel Huff
received of the supreme courts action
was given by representative of The
Georgian He was in the Office Of the
Macon public library. When shown a
telegram conveying this information. he
i,rnped from his seat and embraced the
reporter With tears of gladness in his

declined to commit himself, saying:
You will have to excuse me. l can

it, both for the good OF the country and
the party.
"Absenteeism is the vice of the
house. There is evidently an intention
on the part of certain gentlemen to
consume SO much time that some of the
appropriation bills will go over TO the
extraordinary session The point of no
quorum is frequently made, and much
time is lost in securing quorums. That
state of affairs is not ~ all compli-
mentary to the house. as everybody
knows the Democrats have q majority
of sixty odd.
The only way to put an end to this
unpleasant status Is for all Democrats
to be on hand at all times. 1t would be
damaging commentary ON the Demo
cratic house if any appropriation bills
be thrown over to the extraordinary
session"

marry, signed by his father, ap-
peared at the courthouse Tues.

obstacle in the way of the girls
obtaining a license was the lack
of the consent of her father tt
the issuance of the license. The

Mrs. John w. Taylor Dead

On Thursday of last week Mrs.
Jno. W. Taylor passed away at
the home of her daughter, Mrs.
c. c. Stevenson, in Galesburg
township. Mrs. Taylor, Grand
ma Taylor" as she was known
to the neighborhood, was one of
the historic figures of the COM
munity. She had reached near
ly to the ninetieth milestone of
her journey, thirty-four years of
which had been spent in the
community in which she died.
Almost blind for the past three
years, and failing in bodily Wig
or, she kept the keenness of her
intellect until the last. A de-
vout and humble Christian, she
had earned the love and respect
of an entire neighborhood, so
that not only her numerous
relatives in the community, but
a host of neighbors and friends
mourn the departure of this
kindly Christian old lady.
The funeral was held OH Fri
day afternoon at the Waterloo
Presbyterian church, conducted
by her pastor, Rev. j. 7. May.
Interment was made in the Muir
dock cemetery beside the body of
her husband who died about
nineteen years ago.
Elizabeth D. Knight was born
in Flemming county, Kentucky,
in 1924, in 1874 she was married
to John w. Taylor, and removed
with her husband in 1861 to
Charlton county, Mo. Five chill
dren were born toEthem, three
of whom survive, Chas. F. Tay-
lor and Mrs. C. C. Stevenson Of
near Waterloo, this county, and
A. S. Taylor of Missouri. One
son and one daughter are dead.
In 1879 the family came to Kan
sas and settled in Kingman
county. The deceased was a life
long member of the Presbyterian
church. and noted in the commu-
nifty for her gentle piety, and
kindly helpful disposition. In
her passing the county loses one
more of it's real pioneers, and
the neighborhood one of its truly
lovable and highly esteemed
citizens.
The above is from the King
man Kas. Journal. The deceas-
ed is the mother of Judge Ash

MARIE COLEMAN KILLED
Parachute Failed to Open
Aeronaut Hits the
Earth

Mrs. Marie Coleman wife of
Frank Coleman was killed at
Poplar Bluff, Mo. July A by her
parachute which she cut loose
from the balloon at about 200
feet from the ground, failing to
spread and sustain her on the
short distant it had to fall.
She was engaged to make an
ascension at a picnic under the
auspices Of the Knights and
Ladies of Security, and tho she
expressed fear and misgivings
before she started up, she had
the balloon cut loose and sailed
away at about 7:30 p. III. When
about 200 feet from the ground
she pulled the cord that cut the
parachute from the balloon. The
umbrella fashioned air craft fail
ed to open and the great crowd
saw the shapely aeronautist who
had made a thousand ascensions
and drops safely, shoot rocket
like to the ground, the rag twist
ing and tapping as she dragged
the useless thing with her. The
unfortunate woman struck the
ground head first, crushing her
skull and breaking her neck and
instantly killing her.
Frank Coleman, her husband
a native of this county, has
headquarters at Trenton, Mo.
and sends balloons all over this
country, employing several
aeronauts. He is managing
some of his air craft in New
York now. Frank Coleman was
the victim of an accident at E.
Reno, Okla. in 1901 which Grip.
pied him so badly that he car
never make another ascension
and will likely have to get around
in a ginricksha all the balance Of
his life. He and his wife were
here about 5 years ago and con-
Quoted ascensions. Mrs. Cole
man came near ending her ca
reer just one year before she die
by landing in a river near a rail
road bridge. The engineer of {
passing train saw her plight
stopped the train and rescued
her. She was "a years old and 9
fine looking woman, devoted tt
her husband thru all of his suf
fering and was of incalculabl,
use to him in the management
of his business.

Bud Thrash and Rex Brewer
started with a livery team the
evening of the fourth to go to
the celebration at Salisbury.
When going down the slope near
the Drace farm an automobile
passed them and raised consider
able dust. Next a carriage pass
ed and Immediately a single rig
driven by a woman had pulled
out on the wrong side of the
road and the first that Bud and
Rex knew of the presence of the
rig was when they were about
to collide head on. To avoid this
Bud pulled his team sharply
around and the result was an in
terlocking of buggy wheels,
frightening the single horse
worse and he kicked and ran,
but not before the woman jump

ed the buggy to pieces, ran into

buggy was so badly disabled
that they had to return with it.

The game Sunday between
John Colemans select, genteel and
artistic nine from X. City and
the local team was worth seeing.
Had Harvey and Schell been
given the support they received
from the fifth on thru the game,
the score would have been very
different, but everything consid-
cred, our boys are to be congrat-
ulated. One fact stands out
very prominent, and that is to
play ball you must practice.
Our weak point was at the bat.
Only three hits, two by Cash and
one by Embree, the remainder
handling the stick as they would
a flag on the fourth. Some of
our players had not recovered
from heavy engagements the
two previous days, and the posi-
tions were not properly filled
from the material available, are
additional reasons why our team
suffered its first shut out.
Coleman has a fine team of good
players and was disappointed in
not serving his old pals who
taught him ball playing with a
much heavier score against them.
He lost sight of the fact that he
was not playing Salisbury until
about the fourth inning, then
passed the word to his men to
play ball all the time. Not an
earned run in the score tells the
tale.
There was a good crowd out
considering weather conditions
up to the second inning, thunder
storms threatening f4om every
quarter all day.
Louey Hansman umpired to
the satisfaction of everyone and
himself, since there was no ques.
ton about any of his decisions.
The absence of any contention
among players and the good b.
.lhayior of spectators were admir-
liable features Of the game.
