CANNON BALM
VERDICT IS
SET ASIDE

CHARLOTTE, N. c., May II
G.N.SD .-Terming the $125,O00
heart balm award made by a
jury late yesterday to F. Bran
don Smith, formse second hus-
band of Anne Cannon Reynolds
Smith, towel heiress, as "exces-
sive," Superior Court Judge w.
F. Harding this morning set aside
the verdict and called for a new
trial.
Mr.. Smith sued Joseph F. Can
non, ST., multimillionaire textile
manufacturer, for $3.50 900, charg.
ing he alienated his daughters at.
fectionS, forcing her to divorce
Smith against her will.
Defends Her Father
Mr.. Cannon denied the charge
and Anne, who wed Smith in 1881
shortly after she divorced Zachary
Smith Reynolds, late heir to the
tobacco millions, in Reno, de-
Tended her father, asserting she
divorced Mr.. Smith in Hot
Springs last summer by her own
wish and that she never had
loved him."
The jury deliberated less than
five hours before deciding that
Smith, son of a local hardware
merchant, should receive $4,000
actual damages and $4,000 punt
tive damages in his action asking
$250,00O heart balm"
Sensational testimony preceded
the verdict in which the 29-year-
old real estate dealer accused
Cannon of exercising undue influ-
ence over his daughter, Anna
Cannon Reynolds Smith, leading
to divorce at Hot Springs, Ark,
last summer.
Termed 1t LOveIeSS
Anne, who married Smith soon
after her Reno divorce from the
mysteriously slain Zachary Smith
Reynolds, tobacco heir. described
the marriage as totally loveless
and termed herself dumb" to
have wed Smith. She said:
II was dumb to marry Bran
don, and he was dumb to live
with me. 1 didn't love him be-
fore or after / married him. I
married him to get a home"

read:

HOSNER, JONES
RAP DOUGLAS

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, May 11.-Gross failure to
enforce the county's laws" is the
only reason Arlington county resi-
dents have to contend with "un-
slightly and obnoxious" burning
dumps, Emery Hosmer, a candi-
date for the Democratic nomina-
ton of commemorative Attorney,
declared here last night in his in
itial campaign speech before the
Rosslyn Precinct Civic Association.
Severely criticizing Common
wealth's Attorney Lawrence Doug
las for not taking steps to stop
the practice of burning dumps,
Mr.. Hosmer said:
"The law has long provided
means to stop this menace"
Mr.. Douglas was the first of the
three candidates seeking the nomi-
nation to address the group last
night. He excused himself imme-
diately on completion of his ad-
dress and left to keep another en-
gagement. Mr.. Hosmer expressed
regret that Mr.. Douglas had not
remained to defend himself.
Lengthy court litigation over
the legality of the burning dumps
was reviewed by Mr.. Hosmer
from the time the first protest
was made until it was finally dis
posed of by the Supreme Court
of Virginia.

Z RELIEF PLANS.
STUDIED IN
MARYLAND

ANNAPOLIS, Md, May 11.-A.
tentative programs designed to
help Maryland over its worst re-
lief crisis" will be discussed here
Monday at a melting of the State
Aid and Charity Board.
Governor Harry o. Nice called
the meeting for the purpose of
studying two proposed plans, one
suggested by himself and the
other designed by Harry Green.
stein, State Relief Administrator.
Both authors" are confident
their programs will lift the State
from the relief mire into which
it sank last week when Federal
Relief Administrator Harry L.
Hopkins ordered Maryland's relief
budget for May reduced 100000.
1t had been estimated that the
May expenditure would require
$1,600,000, but under the proposed
allotment of Mr.. Hopkins only
$4,000 would be given the State.
OOVCElOT 1ldH
Governor Nice's plan proposes:
l. Shaving down of the rate
of relief to meet the available
funds.
2. Calling of a special ses-
sion of legislature to raise or
borrow more funds.
3. Appeal to the public for
charitable donations to tide
over the needy families"
Mr.. Greenstein, on the other
hand, was more pessimistic. His
first point was:
Completely halt the State
relief program"
The other points were not as
drastic. They were:
Reduce, on percentage basis,
the relief distribution.
Cut off in an arbitrary fashion
a number of relief clients.

BY EUGENE TALMADGE
Governor Of Georgia

The policy of relief, inaugurated
by the Hoover administration, has
grown more than any other activ-
ity in America.
Since May, 1888. to March, 1885,
we have expended 3,207 millions
dollars of the taxpayers money
for relief in America. We were
told that the justification for
spending this enormous sum was
to stop unemployment in this
country.
In March of this year the size
of the relief rolls has increased to
22,375, 900 people-one-fifth of the
people in America: the greatest
dole system ever known by any
country in the world.
In 1880, the leader of our Demo
cratic party expressed grave fears
of the 5000 million dollars year
Government cost and expense.
This same leader advocated, and
had passed, a governmental ex-
pense of 7,243 million dollars for
1884.
This amount was increased one
and one-half billion dollars for
1885, or to eight and one-half bill
lion dollar mark.
Of course, it takes millions OF
dollars to build swimming pools
for elephants, as was done in
California; to build monkey cages
as was done in Georgia; to survey
the basin of the Mediterranean
Sea, teach ballet etiquette, aes-
thetic dancing, boon-doggling.
And, then, we are told that if we
don't agree with all this we are
too blankety-blank dumb to ap-
preciate the finer things of life.
OF course, the NRA caused a
great deal of this expense.
1t costs money to employ thou
sands and thousands of men to
go over the country, putting up
restrictions and red tape to ham
per all lines of our business.
OF course, it costs millions Of
dollars to send agents over the
country to see that the wheat is
burned, cotton plowed up, pigs
killed and cows shot down.
How far would candidate have
gone, running for President in
1882, if he had advocated just
such policies as we have seen
enacted in 1884 and 1895? Would
we have carried a single county
or State in this Union?
But all this came about after
the election and the inaugura.
ton, and was prefaced on the
ground of an emergency.
Reasons Are Given
That same emergency still ex.
lists. They said that. and Sc
cured an appropriation of 1880
million dollars from Congress,

what?
You can't recover prosperity by
taxing the people of the country
to the bleeding point. You can't

z BOY ROBBERS
|. GO To PRISON

SCOTTSBURG, Va, May IL.
A 16-year-old Halifax county, Vir-
ginia, youth and his 15-year-old
companion are under long-term
prison sentences here after plead
ing guilty to charges of beating
and robbing an aged man and
leaving him unconscious on q
railroad track.
Wesley Carroll, 16, sentenced
to Is years, and Herbert Martin,
Is, sentenced to 20, admitted in
Judge N. S. Turnbull'S Circuit
Court at ScottSburg that they had
attacked w. H. Buchanan, IS,
beating him with rocks, and had
stolen slightly over So and then
dragged him to nearby railroad
track where he was abandoned.
The elderly man, under treat
ment since the attack, regained
consciousness just as train
neared him, and rolled to safety.
The youths offered 10 defense.

recover prosperity from scarcity.
You can't recover prosperity by
soaring all of your industries
white. You can't recover pros
perity by advocating idleness and
waste. You can't recover pros
perity by teaching our citizenship
all of our business industries are
built on incompetency and dis
honesty.
What has happened?
Why has the relief roll mounted
to % million names? The answer
is simple.
First, private industries drew in.
They laid off people. They cut
down on production. They were
afraid to reach out. Instead Of
putting their money into improve
ments they bought taX-exempt
Government bonds.
Next, the curtailing of acreage
put millions of people off the
farms because there was no work
left for them to do. A farmer
cannot hire the same number of
laborers to work on 80 acres that
he formerly did on so acres.
Then, the processing taxes:
From July 10, 1888, to April 10,
1895, the proc eSsing taxes
amounted to $792,OO0,O0O.
Cost To Industry
Add to this the great cost to
industry in keeping books to re-
port these taxes, and you will
see where more than another
billion dollars was added on top
of the price of articles of food
and clothing that the American
public had to buy.
This additional cost of living
added thousands and thousands
more to the relief rolls of this
country.
Well, we have heard this song
before. Washington does not deny
it. Washington says that all this
was necessary on account of an
emergency-that we had Starva-
ton from production and
plenty, and the only way to stop
it was to increase scarcity and
multiply the taxes on the people
twenty-fold.
If this system is right, every
thing that I have been taught
from the cradle to now is wrong.
If you can produce prosperity
from scarcity; if you can en-
courage private industry to reach
out by soaring them white; if you
can make people want to own
property and buy property by con.
tinually multiplying the taxes on
it, then you can make water run
uphill, you can spend yourself out
OF debt, you can drink yourself
sober.
Three years ago, if anyone had
said that you could do these three
things, and seriously preached this
doctrine in Georgia, a jury would
have honestly committed them to
the insane asylum in Milledgeville,
Ga.

Dickstein CD of New York, OF
the House immigration Commit
tee, today over the latter's resolu'
ton permitting families Of Boy
Scouts to come to the United
States this summer for the Inter
national Scout Jamboree.
Would Let in Aliens
Mr.. Blanton blocked considera-
ton of the measure yesterday
charging that it would let in many
aliens who would stay here. He
said:
~ am a little suspicious about
1t. There have been so many
notorious anarchists brought in
that I have lost confidence in
our immigration Bureau. When
Emma Goldman, who was the
former notorious anarchist pal
of that notorious anarchist,
Alexander Berkman, can be per-
mitted to come in, l have not
much confidence in regulations
our present careless bureau will
prescribe for our protection"
Angered, Representative Dick
stein attacked the Texan in a
press statement. ell said:
81 think it Is objectionable
for him to compare the Boy
Scouts of the world to Emma
Goldman"
HURRIES TO REPLY
Reading this statement in the
morning press, Blanton drafted a
hurried reply and delivred it to
newspaper men PERSONAL. He
asserted:
II believe am better quail
fled to protect unemployed
Americans from the continuous
stream Of immigrants annually
crossing our borders than is
any critic who was born in
Moscow, Russia.
No proper safeguards to force
the return o ia horde of aliens"
