Dr. Enoch Callaway, acting
medical adviser to the national
guard and a relative of the man
agement of the Callaway mills,
where a strike was begun late
last February, told the court the
striker's bruises received in the
clash with the guardsmen were
not in themselves sufficient to
cause his death.
Dr. Callaway said Stephens died
of “streptococcic cullulitis,”” a
form of erysipelas, but added the
bruises were a secondary cause.
He said Stephens had a “markedly
large heart” and at times poor
heart action and this was a sec
ondary cause of death.
Guardsmen have been on duty
here since early in the strike. They
were sent. to LaGrange to keep
order. Recently a number of work
ers were ordered evicted from
their homes, which were owned by
the mill. % A
Captain Joseph Sauers of Sa
vannah, Ga., was struck by a man
with a chair during the fight, tes
tified the reputation of Smith and
Stone was good. ;
Private BEdward T. Hunter and
Sergeant H. B. Wallace also tes
tified about the encounter. Chief
of County 'Police R. €. Carter

ed one-two-three yesterday, It
slapped down Senator Tong's ef
fort to obtain an investigation of
Postmaster Genral Farley, passed
Senator Norrig’' bill to give the
Tennessee Valléy authority streng
thened powers, and approved a bill
to_extend NRA’s life for ten mon
ths, 3 < ’
In that last-named measure lay
the germs of trouble between the
two houses. Some house or rep
resentatives Democrats were pre
paring an effort topass a bil more
in line with President '‘Roosevélt's
desgires. He wants NRA extended
two years. ' :
These house members also aim
to give NRA .jurisdiction over more
businesses than the senate resolu
tion would. Thes eénate measure
puts all interstate business wholly

gulation. , »
' Key Man Stay Over .
Key men among the 4,000 farm
ers who came here from South and
West to tell the government they
agree with its agrarian policies
stayed over today. ‘They are plan
ning what they call a new, mational
farm organization to obliterate sec
tional lines among farmers.
‘Yesterday they stood on the
White House grounds and whooped
with enthusiasm as President Roo.
sevelt declared that “high and
mighty” critics were “lying” about
the farm program.
Patmanites changed their mind
~about sending the new currency
bill to the White House from the
genate yesterday. When they will
send it is pow uncertain. They
said some senators are out of town,
;and they want their full strength
when it comes bouncing back with
‘the expected veto. ¢
Outside the realm of goverment,
interesting things were popping,
too. 'The Anierican Psychiatric as
sociation heard about a - woman
whose mind works better now that
most of the “thinking” part of her
brain has been cut away in an
operation. She concentrates better,
has a sweeter temper, makes lightn
ing decisions, and her piety de
lights her clergyman. ‘Her husband

er is making her high-hat. ?

peat on every oecasion,” he said,
‘that we have not wastefully des
troyed food in any form.”
At one point a farmer injected
into the proceedings a reference to
one of the administration's bitter
est foes—Governor Talmadge of
Georgia,
President Roosevelt . was saying
that among the AAA critics were
a “few leading citizens” who have
“gone astray—." ’
A farmer broke in to shout:
“We have one down our way,
south Georgia.”
“T was about to say from ignor
ance,” the president resumed.
Later, in Atlanta, Governor Tal.
madge commented tersely afiter
hearing that the president had
struek at ‘the high and mighty with
special axes to grind.”
“He must have been talking
ahout Tugwell and Wallace,” Tal
madge said. g e 2
While the farmers declared their
“march on Washington,” was
spontaneous and AAA officials as
serted they had nething to do with
the movement, Senator Dickinson,
Republican, lowa, said it was “in
spired” from the capital.
“In my judgment,” he said, “the
march on the capital was inspired
from Washington. They are trying
to create the impression that the
adminstration farm program is
popular, when every iota of evl-!
dence I have is to the contrary.” |

him out of public life.” Libmpat g
The speech of Governor Tal
madge last week was construed by
many as his rally call to foes of
the New Deal for. a Talmadge
presidential boom. Cox - described
it as “little more than .a fault:
finding tirade.” .
“Is it to be understood that the
governor has teased himself inte
the funny . position of bidding. for
three nomiinations?” Cox asked..
“A place on the national Demo
cratic ticket, or if that cannot be
had then on the Republican ticket
and if that be denied him then a
place on the ticket of any third
third party that may come along?
“No State Backing” . .
“To- be a centender for any ene
of these places a candidate should
be able to start out with the sup
port of his own state which in this
instance will never. be thsa. case,
for Georgia has but' one candidate
for the presidency in 1936 and that
candidate is the President him
self.¥ = SR
Governor Talmadge and Senator
Huey P. Long of Louisiana were
linked by Cox in his address when
he said the governor, as commis
sioner of agriculture in Georgia,
‘joined with Long, then Governor
of Louisiana, 1n inaugurating the
firgt- moveinent for a. cotton holi
day. 1 ;
Cox said Talmadge sought at
‘that time in 1931, to force a spe
cial session of the legislature to
'‘bring Georgia into line with Louis
giana for a cotton holiday:
{ “We now find these two distin
guished gentlemen, Senator Long,
and Governor Talmadge, as the
leading critics of the Agriculthral
Adjustment program, condemning
administration benefits to the far
mers as a fallacious program of
scarity and attempting to tell the
farmers that the abolishment of
the present program would result
in better prices for their products.”
. Speaks of Condemnation
\ The congressman spoke of Tal
made condemnation of the govern
mental relief program.
«“Governor Talmadge enjoys the
distinction of being the first ex
ecutive of any state in the union
out of whose hands the.right to
administer relief was taken,” he
said. X :
) “His whole grievance against
the administration dates back ta
this incident. It was alleged that
he was undertaking = to make a
political organization out of the
state relief forces; . that his then
executive secretarw who is now
commissioner of agriculture and
advocating secession from the un
ion, was on -the relief payrolls al
though at the same time he was
drawing a sizeable salary from the
‘state of Georgia. There were other
similar complaints whieh need mot
be detailed.”
Taking note of the governor's
‘statement that “the processing tax
has stagnated the cotton industry
in America and is causing the im
portation of cotton here every

that he is willing to be judged by
the record he has made in the last
five years as recorder.
Ted Middlebrooks, candidate for
recorder, emphasized the impor
‘tance of all citizeng showing an in
terest in election of public officials.
He said he has no formal platform,
but that he will strive to fill the
office acceptably, dealing with all
in fairness and justice. He declar
ed he will do his part to make Ath

ig elected. ‘
S. F. Reaves, candidate for re

ballot. He said that if women put
their mind to it, they could win any
election in the United States. He
pledged his best efforts to the of
fice if he is elected.
Mr. Reaves commended the work
of the League of Voters, pointing
out that the organization has beén
instumental in arousing greater
interest in public issues. He said
the objective of the league, that of
giving information om public. ques
tions, is contributing every effec

more efficient government,

. Matthews Statement
Recorder Matthews said:
“Madam President and Ladies:
“I am glad to appear before this
organization and present my ideas
in regard to the office of City Re-.
corder. P
~_“I have heard that the friends of
one of my opponents are saying.
that this office should be filled by
a lawyer and that I am without
legal training. I disagree with that
argument. Most of the Recorders
in the past have been laymen, and
1 believe that the selection of a law
yer would be unwise. The position
l;;'equires a person of experience and
mature years rather than a lawyer
who would pay too much attention
to legal technicalities. My five years
‘of service have given me all the
acgal knowledge that is required.
~ “As I stated in my formal an
nouncement I know I have antag
onized some pgople in the adminis
tration of the office. This is, of
course, unfortunate, but is unavoid
lable when a public officer cares
more for the proper performance
of his duties than he does for pop
ularity that will enable him to hold
his job.
“I have always tried to be fair,
just and impartial. I have been
lenient in my sentences as the
circumstances of each case will
justify. (I frankly admit ithat I
have been severe in imposing pen
alties in one class of cases, It has
been by invariable rule to inflict
severe punishment upon drunken
dtivers of automobiles. An igtoxi
gdted driver of an automobile is a
‘public enemy, and if I have of
fended influential people in an ef
fort to protect the lives of the men,
women and children of this com
munity I will cheerfully take the
consequences of my action.
“I stand upon my reecord and am
willing. to be judged by it. 1 hope
that I have merited your good will,
vour influence and your votes.”
.. Middlebrooks Speaks .
Mr. Middlebrooks said:
“One of the .greatest needs. is
that more of our people take an
interest in the elections in this state
and I am greatly gratified. to find
that: your organization has been |
urging our citizens to register and |
vote in each election. . It is almost
a disgrace with a population of ap
proximately 2,000,000 white people
during our hotest campaigns when |
electing the officers of this state
only about 200,000 or 250,000 people
actually vote, e i d
“According to the 1920 census,|
there were 11,813 white people liv=|
ing in the city of Athens—at least!
50 per cent of them were of voting
age and yet when we have an elecs |
tion if is almost impossible to get
over 2,000 of our citizens to come
out and vote,
“May I urge you to keep up yeu:-'j
program »f education for the reason
when all of our citizens partici
pate in an election there is very lit
tle danger of a small minority con
trolling the affairs of our city, and
with a large registration and large
vote the use of money for eorrupt
practice is almost impeossible to
swing an election. ;
“As you people know, lam a can.
didate for recorder of the city of
Athens and you may wish to hear
my views of my candidacy. The
only platform which I can offer you
is that if I am elected I shall use
my best efforts to see thet the or
dinances of the city of Athens are
strictly enforced and that justice is'
given to each man according te the
particular case. I shall enforce a.lll
laws impartially and I shall use my
best efforts in the conduect of the
office to make Athens a finer and
better pace to live and create an
invironment where the mothers of
this state ‘Wwill be glad te send. their
children.” 22 i

STORY OF FATAL
AIiRPLANE CRASH

lot's license and the license on the
plane. That extra expense could
be saved.
Has Trained Many
Mr. Epps story revealed that he
has trained and sent out as pilots
more than a score of yeung men,
including his son, Ben, jr., who
was a regular pilot in 1929, when
he was thirteen years old. Among
those who received instructions
from Mr. Epps were several from
Atlanta and the late and greatly
beloved' Edward Hamilton., John
Salway, who later lost his life in a
¢rash near’ New York city, took
Mr. Epps’ course for advanced stu
dents. ;
Getting down to the account of
the fatal Sunday afternoon, on
which death struck just before
the passenger flights had ceased
for the day, Mr. Epps said he re
membered little about it.
He did remember that the young
lady, Miss Raskin, had asked him
about stunting and. he had told
her he never stunted with passen-.
gers, a rule he never broke.
He said there was nothing about
the trip from ‘the airport to town:
to impress itself om his memory.:
It was like hundreds and hundreds
of similar trips he had taken pas
sengers on.
_ The pilot said he was flying.at
an altitude of about 1,000 feet
when the plane went out of con
trol. He was over the Holman
hotel at the time. He theught
something was wrong with the
controls and talk, current short
ly after the accident, seemed tc
bear this out. (It was .said that
persons who looked over the wreck
age found the heel of a womdn’s
shoe, presumably that of Miss
Raskin, lodged underneath the
control. The Banner-Herald has
not beer abie .o check this report,
but th~ report has been made to
the awuthorities. :
Pesons on the ground who ve
alizea the plane was in trouble
towl the Banner-Herald reporters
cn ‘the ground ten minutes after
the crash that the pilot seemed
to be struggling terrifically with
the controls. oy
Picture Not Clear
. Mr. Epps has no ulear picture
of what happened after he was
over the Holman. He said yester
day that he knew he had not pick
ed out the spot the plane crashed
for an emergency landing but be
lieved he was trying to get the
plane togthe polo field or Sanford
field on Lumpkin street. If so, he
missed it by a seant city block.
After the accident he was in a
local hospital, unconsecious for two
weeks, sufering a brain concussion
and the other injuries mentioned
abeve. He is still suffering from
some of them. :
hfiisrked if he intended to keep.on
flying, his eyes eame squarely to
the reporter’s. _.
“T ean’t tell. I haven't lost my
nerve, if that's what you mean. I've
faced death before, but this was
by far the closest ealk It’s mot the
nerve angle. FPianes are expensive
and pilots must have good health.

be a strong factor in our dete;.
mining whether to try Lamson

finite decision on a new tria or
dismissal of the charge would not
be made until Friday. ,
Both ths defense, which conteng.
ed Mrs. Lamson died in an accj.

disclosed the nine ballots for cop.
viction had been for second degres
murder. :
‘“There was not a single session
at which we didn't take severa]
ballots,” she said, “and there were
so many sessions I haven't any ides
how many we took. Why when we
would go back to the hotel at night
we ould have another meeting and
