Tanville. Va. July 9.-Thom rs
Sexton Smith, 20 years old. promi-
nent tobacco planter and rural poll
tician. has asked for another hear
ing at the next county court res
sion for the breacn-of-promise suit
Instituted against him by Miss NJ a.
bel Milan. one of the most hand
some bellies Of Danviile's younger
set
Miss Milan was awarded a ver-
dict of $4,000 last May by a jury
which was out less than ten minutes
In his petition for a new trial,
Smiths lawyer claims the damages
were excessive and the outcome Of
the passion and prejudice of the
Jury" Hearing On the petition has
been set for the coming tenn by
Judge Hughes Dillard.
Miss Milan claims in her declara-
tion that Smith, after he had di-
vorced his second wife, made her
q proposal of marriage. followicg
an ardent courtship during which
fc showered her with jcwclry,
flowers and candy.
She asserts that the wedding date
was set for last August in Rich
mond. She had prepared her trous-
seau. she claims, and invited two
members of her family to accom-
pany her to Richmond for the
event.
Shortly before the day set, she
alleges. Smith claimed to have dis
covered a flaw in his divorce pro-
ceedings and asked for a postpone
ment. From that date, she says, his
affection for her began to dwindle
and he finally told her he did not
intend to marry her at all.
Miss Milan Is Givcrced from her
first husband. When girl she
lived on Smiths plantation, where
her father was a tenant, and was
a favorite of the aged planter.
Evidence was introduced during
the first trial to show that she had
been educated at a Danville college
at Smiths expense.

London July 9.-This first London
season in six years is distinguished
by gsiety of spirit and brilliance
of coloring never before witnessed
in the social life OF England. The
June Court lost nothing Of beauty by

display.
In this return of light and life and
color the King and Queen take an
active lead. At the court the state
apartments were ablaze of crimson

The twsnty-secoud anniversary OF
the FIRST sale Of a motor vehicle in the
United States will come in April OF

greatest development In the United
states. Many Of the American pioneers
are still Lying and reaping The benefits

"A Model Has Novelty Motor

Features

Exhibited here for the first time at
ale Automobile show in the Hotel
iuPont by the Porter-Nlerrick Com
)any, local distributors Of Marmon
,ars, the new series Marmon "a has a
nigh efficiency motor that seems as
pronounced a novelty as was the first
MarmOn 81, shown four years ago. with
its radical departure from conven-
tiOnal design.
One Of the most interesting features
OF the shows held in New York and
Philadelphia was the ltearing down and
re-assembling Of this motor in one
hour and forty-flve minutes twice a
day, By factory mechanics.
The light weight features. deep thin
section frame, extensive employment
Of alloy steel, and the use Of alumni
unm in motor, body, tenders and gear
set and difierential housings are con-
tinued. The body lines Of the open
,ars, though modified and embelllshed
lere and there, still retain the vigOr-
)us characteristics that have given
hem individuality.
The high efficiency motor is a trlfe
horter than previous models. but the
tx cylinders have the same bore and
trOke, and the same principles Of de-
ign are found throughout the power
)lant. The manufacturing OF the en-
zine. however. has been changed TO the

earned by the company in producing

ments. In 1881 Walter Hancock. an
Engllshman. built a steam car that he
called the Infant. This car made regu-
lar trips between London and StraffOrd
and in 1882 the distance was extended
to Brighton. This vehicle carried eleven
passengers and was run at an average
speed OF nine miles an hour.
About 1874 Gpttlieb Daimler and Carl
Benz began their basic experiments In
the field OF internal combustion, hydro
carbon motors. On May s. 1879, George
Baldwin Selden. OF Rochester, n. Y,
field an application for a patent cover
ing the use OF the gasoline motor as a
prOpelling force OF a rOad vehicle and
upon the vehicle as a whole. The ap-
plicatlOn was the pioneer patent OF The
industry. Selden did not build car
until some years after his patent was
granted. While Carl Benz, OF Mann
helm. Germany, built the first Internal
combustion, hydro-carbon motor-pro-
PEELED vehicle in 1885. 10 was not until
1923 that the automobile virtually as
h Is known today was launched. Pan

which were sold.
