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.

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 outside the Blue Eagle field of re 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 however, complains her brain-pows er is making her high-hat. ? ROOSEVELT SPEAKS, FARMERS APPROVE (Continuea From Page One) 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.” | THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA Prayer Services to Be Held Tonight at Five Churches Here Prayer services will be held at five local churc¢hes tonight,’ with revivals at two, and one called off.

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 { day,” Cex cited figures indicating |‘a ~distinet: decline in imperts of l cotten the frst few months of this | year as compared with 1934.

CANDIDATES GIVE VIEWS AT DINNER (Continued From Page One) just in coiducting his office and 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 ens the best city in Georgia, if he ig elected. ‘ S. F. Reaves, candidate for re corder, declared that' women do not realize the power they wield in the 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 tively to better = citizenship and, more efficient government, Mrs. Reaves, who wag a dele gate to the national convention of the League of Women Voters, r cently in Washington, reported the highlights of the sessions. . . 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 Do You Know George Yancey?

BEN EPPS TELLS . STORY OF FATAL AIiRPLANE CRASH (Continued From Page One) 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.
