AND THE FISH BEGIN TO BITE

There's a ripping on the river,
There's a tremor in the tree,
There is radiance and a CULVER
Where the sunlight strikes the sea
Mother nature i'm citation
Seems to strive in terms polite
To convey the information
That the fish are going to bite.
Every breeze that lightly passes
Whispers Of loafing hour.
Midst the fiuttering Of the grasses,
There's a nodding yellow flower,
And at last you get notion
As you strive to oil and learn
That most every little motion
In a motion to adjourn.

warmly congratulated, and was then
taken across the street to the K. of P.

given a banquet.
The senator made a most graceful
and tactful speech. He dwelt on the
marvellous scientific achievements of
the age, told the young men of the
wonderful opportunities that were be-
fore them, and his conclusion showed
that oratory has not lost it's magne-

unstinted applause.
The senator and all the club mem

a most enjoyable time.

INQUIRY
Postmaster Nottingham Tells of
Jurist Overriding Recorders
Court in Negro Case.

MACON, Jan. 19.-Representative
Webb, of North Carolina; Volstead
of Minnesota, and Fitzhenry, Of Ili-
nois, as a subcommittee of the House
Judiciary Committee, to day began an
investigation here of charges pre-
the United States Court for the
Southern District of Georgia, who is
accused of irregular practices as a
Federal judge. The charges are large
ly the outgrowth of attacks made on
Judge Speer by Colonel William A.
Huff, the Naged Macon man, whose
$50, 900 estate has been before Judge
Speer in bankruptcy for more than a
decade.
The subcommittee, which arrived
last night from Washington, is con-
Quoting public hearings in the Federal
courtroom, the first session beginning
at 10 o'clock this morning. After
several days in Macon, the probers
will go to Albany, Brunswick, Angus
ia and probably to Savannah to take
additional testimony.
The courtroom was crowded when
the first session began. many so
ciety women being in attendance as
interested spectators. Judge Speer
and Colonel Huff, both just recently
out of sick beds, sat near each other,
but did not speak.
Judge Andrew J. Cobb, as chief
counsel for Judge Speer, made a
statement in his behalf. declaring that
the judge invited the closest scrutiny
of his public and private career.
Custis Nottingham, postmaster and
former City Recorder, was the first
witness. He testified as to the Henry
Jemison case, which arose ten years
ago. Jemison, a negro employee of
Judge Speer, was arrested by the po-
licemen and convicted in the Re-
corder's Court, for disordeHy con-
duct. He was sent to the chaingang,
but was released upon a writ Of ha-
beas corpus granted by Judge Speer.
Jemison Case Reversed.
Mr.. Nottingham certified that the
Supreme Court reversed Judge Speer
in the Jemison case, but that the
Judge refused to make the mandate
of the Supreme Court the order of the
court, and charged with contempt
several city and county officials who
rearrested Jemison and put him back
on the chaingang. He said that Judge
Speer repeatedly refused to make the
order of the Supreme Court the or
der Of the District Court, but that
the court records now show that
eight months after the Supreme
Court decision the order was made
the order of Judge Speers court. He
said, however, that no one knew of
that fact until the investigation of
Judge Speer was made last summer
Ex- Congressman Howard con-
Quoted the cross examination of Mr..
Nottingham, seeking to bring out that
the latter had imposed severe and ar
bitrary punishment on Jemison by
giving him seven months on the
chaingang. This Mr. Nottingham de-
MED.
Mr.. Nottingham testimony showed
that Judge Speer had attacked three
city and county officials for contempt
and kept them under the rule for
eight years, never informing them
that the rule had been dismissed, al
though the court records now show
such action.
