Highlights From
Roosevelt's Chat
Quoted In Brief
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. (UP).
—Highlights of President Roose
velt's fireside chat last night in
cluded:
"Our needs are one in building
an orderly economic democracy in
which, all can profit and in which
all can be secure from the kind of
faulty economic direction which
brought us to the hrink a* com
mon ruin seven years ago.''
"I want to make it clear that
no simple panacea can be applied
to the drouth problem in the
whole of the drouth area."
"Spending like this (emergency
projects) is not waste. It would
i spell waste if we did not spend
! for such things now..."
I
. . It is worthwhile as a na
! tion to spend mo*:ey in order to
I save money."
I
'"The maintenance of a fair
equilibrium between farm prices
and the prices of industrial prod
ucts is an aim which we must keep
ever before us. . . ."
"It is worthy of note that on
my entire trip, though I asked the
questions dozens of times, I heard
1 no complaint against the charac
: ter of a single works relief proj
! ect."
"In the drouth area people are
not afraid to use new methods to
meet changes in nature and to
correct mistakes of the past. . . .
| They stand ready to fit, and not
I to fight, the ways of nature."
j "We are helping, and shall con
tinue to help the farmer, to do
those things, through local soil
conservation committees and other
co-operative local state and fed
eral agencies of government."
"We are going to have a farm
policy that will serve the national
welfare."
"Government spending was in i
large part responsible for keeping j
industry going and putting it in a
position to make re-employment
possible."
"Private enterprise is neces
sary to any nation which seeks to
maintain the Democratic form of
government."
"We do not surrender our re
sponsibility to the unemployed."
. . The government wants to
use resource to get private work
| for those now employed on gov
ernment work and thu3 to curtail J
to a minimum the government ex
j pendimres for direct employ
I ment."
"In this country we insist, as!
an essential of the American way
of life, that the employer-employe (
I relationship should be one bc
I tween free men and equals . . .
We insist that labor is entitled to
J as much respect as property. . ."
"Tomorrow, Labor Day, belongs
to all of us. . . Anyone who calls
it a class holiday challenges the
whole concept of American democ
j racy."

Mrs. Markham, English Society
Matron, Has Only Headache To
Remind Her Of Lone Ocean Flight
A
Gets Big Ovation When
Flown on to Bennett
Air Field
NEW YORK, Sept.. 7. (UP).—
With only a dull headache to re-!
mind her that she was the first I
woman to fly the Atlantic from
east to west Mrs. Beryl Markham,,
English society matron, set out1
today to have "a thoroughly Rood (
time seeing New York."
At the hotel Dr. A. A. Moore i
replaced the dressing on Mrs.
Markham's forehead, where she
"bumped herself during the fore-1
ed landing, and her right hand
where she suffered a scratch. Tlv j
pain in the head was the only ill |
effect she suffered.
FLOYD BENNETT AIRPORT,,
N. Y., Sept. 7. (UP)—Whistles, i
sirens and the shout of "hello, i
Blondie," Greeted Mrs. Beryl i
Markham, 31-year-old English j
I society matron yesterday as she I
arrived by plane from Nova Sco- i
I tia—first woman to fly the Atlan- :
tic westward alone.
j Mrs. Markham arrived in a
plane piloted by Arthur Bussey'
; which landed here at 4:16 p. m., |
after stopping at North Beach
\ airport by mistake. Her own blue
| ship is a wreck in the Nova Sco
i tian swamp'where she landed af
I ter she ran out of fuel.
Her golden hair whipped in the
• breeze as she hopped out of Bus
1 sey's plane. There were patches
| of adhesive tape on her forehead
I where she was injured in the forc
ed landing, but she smiled at the
I crowd of 5,000.
A welcoming committee rushed
. forth to greet the woman who
alone in a tiny monoplane with
out a radio, took off from Abing
don Airdrome, England, for a 3,
700 mile non-stop flight to New
York City and also mode it.
"I am overwhelmed at this mar
velous reception which I feel 1 do
not desirve," Mrs. Markham said.
"But I do wish I could have come
i here in my own plane."
She was thinking of her blue
200-horse Gull which stil lay near
| the swamp at Baleine Cove, its
, propcllor torn off, the motor brok
en, the left wing smashed ar.d the
landed gear shattered. It had car
| ried her for 24 hours and 40 min
! utes.
She wore a blue blouse and
gray trousers. Everybody shouted
as she was taken to the adminis
tration building. She turned fre
quently and waved back; a few
minutes later she was taken to
Manhattan in a larpe black auto
mobile decorated with the United
States and British flags. A motor
cycle escort preceded the car. In
her escort went Lord and Lady
J. C. Carberry, of the British
Kenya colony in East Africa,
where Mrs. Markham tamed wild
horses during her girlhood *and
later learned to fly.
Asked about her injuries, Mrs.
Markham pointed to the adhesive
take and said: "It is a bit painful
over the left eye here."

TWO MEN, BOY
DROWNED IN
LAKE SUMMIT
Two Women and Small
Daughter of Drowning
Victim Rescued
andersonsTc. PARTY
WERE MOTOR BOATING
Two men and a 10-year-old boy
were drowned yesterday after
noon about 4:30 o'clock in Lake
Summit at a point on the south
ern shore of the lake about a mile
below the bridge at the head of
the lake.
The dead are Lafayette Black,
50-year-old farmer; Lafayette
Black, Jr., his 10-year-old son, and
Thomas Martin, 24-year-old truck
driver, all of the Lebanon com
munity, near Anderson, S. C.
Dragging operations started a
short time after th® three were
drowned were continued practical
ly all night and were still in prog
ress this morning. Seven boats,
manned by about 15 men, were
engaged in the operations today.
Up to noon none of the bodies had
been recovered.
The three men were drowned
when the small outboard motor
boat in which they were riding
took water from a wave caused
by a power boat and sank, accord
ing to information obtained by
Sheriff M. N. Orr and Coroner J.
F Brooks.
Seven people were riding in the
small boat, which was owned and
operated by A. L. Rikard, Duke
Power Co., employee, of Green
ville, S. C. Rickard said that he
did not previously know the peo
ple and that they asked him for a
boat ride. He said the men all said
they could swim before entering:
the boat, and Mrs. Black stated
this morning that her husband
was a strong swimmer.
Two young ladies and a small
girl, also members of the party,
were saved from drowning by Rik
ard. When his boat sank, he was
able to take hold of the three wo
men and keep them afloat until
the power boat, owned by Walter
Montgomery, of Spartanburg, S.
C., turned and came to his aid.
The Montgomery boat picked
up Rikard and the three women
and took them to the Green River
tea room, located across the lake
and on the Greenville highway.
The three women rescued by
Rikard were Misses Winifred and
Wilma Rogers, neices of Mr. and
Mrs. Black, and their small daugh
ter, Floride, who went under twice
before she was rescued.
Mrs. Black and her daughter
were near collapse last night and
were given medical attention at
the tea room. They were more
composed this morning and were
able to talk of the accident to of
ficers. Mrs. Black was not a wit
ness to the accident.
Black has made his home at An
derson for about 40 years and is
the father of five children. Martin
is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. P.
Martin of Anderson.
Several young men in the vicin
ity of the point where the drown
ing took place immediately en

lumber grader, arrested yesterday
charged with beating and wound
ing Mrs. Lars Erickson after a
drinking party, said he expected
to be shot when the woman's hus
band, a steamship engineer, ire
turns to town.
"I hope he shoots me in the
heart so I don't have to suffer,"
the prisoner mused.
Mrs. Erickson was found beside

Caddin was asleep in the car. The

her and threew her from the car.
Caddin said she jumped from it.

is her husband when he gets back
to town. He'll probably want to
shoot me."
