that she will be given the full penalty
of the law-10 years in the peniten-
tlary. 1t is understood that in all
OF the ballots taken up to a late hour
Saturday night there was such
radical difference of opinion that
hopes of an agreement were very
remote, but the jury, knowing that
II an agreement was not reached
before IL O'Clock, they would have
to stay locked up until the next
morning, made desperate efforts to
agree in the last hour, and finallv
agreed IN the verdict of manslaugbt-
er. During the whole trial the de-
fense did not claim self-defense or
accidental shooting, buc insanity.
and it was thought only two verdicts
were possible under the evidence
either murder in the first degree or
insanity-so the verdict as rendered
came as surprise.

With the good clear weather of
Monday, work was resumed on the

at work on the job. The contract
price is Sl3, TAT and is to be com
pleted by December the first. A
colony of two dozen or more Italians
are quartered in Smyrna. This
piece OF road is not getting attention
Before 1t is needed and now that
1t has been started there are manv
from this town and vicinity who Join
thousands of others in the State in
wish to see the "Old Kings High
way, " from Wilmington down
through Kent and Sussex one stretch
OF fine macadam road. New Castle
has aready taken the init ative in the
matter of road building and has sew
eral fine stretches of macadam
thoroughfares to its credit. Kent
and Sussex are yet to fall in line
and from the movement which has
already been set about, good thing
are hoped for in the not far distant
future. The coming Legislature
will be asked to give aid to the sub
Ject and in forwarding this move
ment, automobile associations as
well as farmers are lending their
hearty support. The colony of work
ers who are employed on the Duck
Greek road have established their
own store which is conducted on

is attracting considerable attention
and already shows an improvement,
especially in the grade up the hill
which has been more or less reduced
and the hollow places filled in.

to shorten said river, it used to
take Steamer Brady over two hours
to come up from the mouth. Now
