MURDERS THREE WIVES TO GET
INSURANCE.

London, June 22.-George Joseph
Smith was placed on trial for his life
in Old Bailey today. He is charged
with the murder of three women.
With all he went through the mar
riage ceremony and all were found
dead under almost identical circum-
stances. Smith, under the name of
Lloyd, married Margaret Lofty at
Bath in November, 1914. The couple
came to London the same day and
the next morning the bride was found
dead in her bath. A verdict of acct
dental death was returned.
Later it was ascertained by the
police that Lloyd was not the hus-
bands name and he was arrested and
identified, according to the police, as
George Joseph Smith, who, in Nov
ember, 1913, had married at Ports
mouth Alice Burnham. She had been
found dead in her bath month after
the ceremony. His marriage to Beat
rice Munday in July 1912, also was
traced.
The prosecutor declared that the
motive for the alleged murders was
greed for money, which Smith woult
obtain from insurance on the women:
lives. In this way, said the prosecu
tor, Smith had obtained $4,000 ant
was in q fair way to obtain S3,50l
when arrested.

Who Injuries Party Most-Bryan OF
His Enemies?
Editor Clinch Valley News

Editor Clinch Valley News
Again the enemies of w. j. Bryan
aided by the usual press gang, have
emerged from their lair determined
to destroy, if possible, the influence
and usefulness of man whose name
they have never been able to associate
with anything that would lessen the
respect and admiration of the great
majority of the American people have
for the owner of it.
Mr.. Bryan expected that he would
be criticized for resigning as Secre-
tary of State. This would have been
natural. He even knew that many of
his friends would question his judg-
ment in leaving the Cabinet at so
critical a time. But rather than do a
thing which might, he thought,
plunge his country into horrible war,
and wishing to avoid being instrument
tai in doing an act which his consci-
ence urged him not to do, he resigned
as Secretary of State, which, under
the circumstances, was the only
course he could take, since his views
were out of harmony with those of
his superior in office.
But the same newspapers that have
criticized and villified him for every
thing he has said or done for the
last twenty years, could not as usual
stop at criticism. They have become

Twig Blight in the Orchard.

| bulletin 100. Va. Dept. of Agri.)
This bacterial disease has been very
prevalent in many orchards this sea-
son. 1t attacks the apple, as well as
the pear, ounce and other pomaceous
fruits. 1t begins its attack on the bios
SONS. The short period while the trees
are in bloom is the greatest infection
period of the entire season. The
blighted blossoms shrivel and wither
and the blight spreads, sometimes
SLIGHTLY and sometimes rapidly, into
the fruit spurs and young twigs, often
times not showing up conspicuously
until June. AT that time it has reach
ed its maximum, usually, and often
times has checked up for the season.
The blight runs in twigs and branches
at first considerably ahead of the
dying leaves. The leaves may remain
green for several days, and even
weeks, after the bark on a branch is
! hi. ed.
I he blight is comfortable by the
cutt:ng-out method alone. Spraying
with Bordeaux mixture sometimes
helps. During dry weather in July
and August the trees should be gone
over and the blighted twigs cut out,
making the cut well below the di-
sease on the healthy wood.
The trees should be examined on
the trunks and bodies and at the
ground line for any blighted areas.
In doing the cutting the cut surfaces
and implements should be disinfected
with corrosive sublimate, one part to
1000 parts of water. You can buy tab
lets of same ut the drug stores suit
able for making this solution, which
should be applied by saturating with
ino off the cut surfaces and tools with
same. All twigs and branches cut off
should be promptly burned. If this is
not done the spores will live through
the winter in the dead twigs and trash
and give trouble the following season.
