Robert 7, Reynolds Mails
Letters Back Home From
Many Cities-Uses Home

| ASHEVILLE, N. c., Feb. IA
Here's hunch for political aspi-
rants the country over:
If you want to get votes for cleo
ton to office, leave home and take
a trip abroad.
A hopeful politician here tried il
and found it worked fine. And now
he passes along the tip to all others
except his own opponent for office.
You see, Robert r. Reynolds,
called Bob" in these parts, had been
varsity football player, newspaper
reporter, broncho buster, lawyer and
prosecuting attornev. But all that
didn't appease his taste for excite
ment. So he decided to become
politician and announced his can
didacy for the lieutenant governor
ship Of the state.
Then, instead of swinging around
the circuit making stump speeches
appealing for votes, he built himself
a little hor on a flivver chassis and
set out for trip around the world.
He has just come back from five
months tour, accompanied by
cameraman who shot about 10000
feet Of movie film, while Bob shot
back thousands Of appeals for votes.

CAROLINA 6 WEALTH
IS NEARLY DOUBLED
IN TEN YEAR PERIOD

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. IA
Wealth in South Carolina increased
94.6 per cent, while per capita values
increased in the state from $795 to
$1,385, or 74.2 per cent during the
period of ten years preceding De
cember 81, 1922, according to a state
ment issued by the department of
commerce for publication today.
In its preliminary estimate of the
value of the principal forms of
wealth, the department announced a
total amounting to 50, 04,845 900, as
compared with 81, 235, 541, 900 in 1912.
All classes Of property are said by
the department to have increased in
value from 1912 to 1922. The estl-
mated value of taxed real property
and improvements increased from
$456, 614, 600 to 81, 073, 900, or 1852
per cent; exempt real property from
49,993,0 900 to $116,186, 900, or 1924
per cent; live stock from SCI, 100000
to SCI, 1927 900, or l per cent; farm
SIS, sos, 900 to $32, 945, 900, or I'LL
per cent.
Manufacturing machinery, tools
and implements in the state in
creased from $98,943 900 to $132,-
$4,000, or $40 per cent; and rail
roads and their equipment from
$3.50, $50 900 to $3.50, 900, or 22.7
per cent.
Privately owned transportation
and transmission enterprises other
than railroads, increased in value
from $50, 100000 to sos, wv, or
1872 per cent; and stocks of goods,
vehicles other than motor, furniture
and clothing, from 1866, 1885, 900 to
SOS, 1855, 900 or 1913 per cent. No
comparison is possible for the value
of motor vehicles. which was esti-
mated in 1922 at $35, 09S, 900, because
no separate estimate was made in
1912.
Methods followed in 1912 We're fol-
lowed in general by the department
in making the 1922 estimates, it is
said, although the opinion is held
by department experts that the lat
ter estimates are more accurate, the
working having been more thorough.
Increases in money values are to a
large extent due to the rise in prices
which has taken place during recent
years. the department reminds the
public, and for that reason they do
not represent truly the correspond
ing increases in the quantity of
wealth

failure of the bank, today took upon
himself all responsibility for trans
actions which the government al
leges were fraudulent.
Cooper denied in his testimony

tent to deceive.
The younger Cooper took the wit
ness stand late yesterday and was
expected to be on the stand most of
the day. Lieutenant Governor Coop
er was to follow him on the stand.
Cooper today reiterated his belief
that the bank was solvent prior to
the time it was closed and that if
given time it could have been saved.
He was bitter in his references to
the Richmond Federal Reserve bank.
Cooper stated that be and other
members of his family had large de-
posits in the bank at the time it was
closed. He said he was amply SOL
vent" at the time he returned here
from Raleigh to become president of
the local bank and estimated his as
sets at that time at $275,000 and his
liabilities at $125,0 900.
Testifying as the first defense wit
ness, he declared that his brother,
who was chairman of the board of
directors Of the bank, had no know.

The government closed its case
yesterday with the completion of
the testimony of H. r. Tull, depart
ment of justice agent, and the testi-
mony OF one or two depositors of

| they testified. Defense attorneys
yesterday Indicated that they would

the two defendants and few char
