standard Oil makes Arrangements
Tor Service With Postal Comnapy


] Soon the gas stations will be
taking the place of the old coun-
try stores. They started by sup
plying only gas and oil, now they
supply gas, oil, tires, and a var
iety of accessories, and in the
near future, they will also handle
kilograms of motorists passing
through the city or living nearby.
According to w. P. Mcguire, man
ager of the Wilmington office of
the Postal Telegraph and Gable
Company, arrangements have
been completed for the acceptance
by all the gas stations of the
Standard Oil Company, of New
Jersey, in Wilmington, of which
there are about five, and in the
State, for the acceptance of tele-

understood that other gas stations

CThe Smyrna Times has started

ago. We hope to make this a reo1,Iar

Man Killed-On Thursday morn
ing last q company of tramps at
Clayton got a bottle of alcohol.
some lemons and sugar and made
mixture from which. together
with a bottle of brandy thew
drank pretty freely. They were
under a cherry tree there. a fav-
orite place of lourging for the
tTamps. Shortly after noon thew
got to quarrelling and fighting
the noise finally arresting the at
tention of two men working in
Wright's brick yard less than
hundred yards distant. The lat
ter found one man on the other
pounding him with his fist on the
head and face in a brutal manner.
the man underneath being too
drunk to make any show at resis-
tance. They called to the assail-
ant to stop beating him which he
did, and started to return to their
work. They had proceeded but q
few steps, however, before thev
heard the man they had led away
exclaim. Have you got enough:
II not you can have some more ?"
following the remark with four
double handed blows across the
head and face with heavy club.
Finding the PROSTATE man nearly
they tied the assailant
and telephoned for DR.. Collins and
Esquire Budd, who were soon on
the spot. They We're both brought

Evaporated Fruit-The evapor- II
tors finished up their work and II
osed their establishments last u
eek. Last week we stated on n
Smyrna times., 1930-09-24

rough guess that the fruit cured
would approximate 10000 pounds
, The estimate was too low. These
| hgures run as near as we have
} been able to get them: HOPKINS

Moses Price, 5000; John P. Hld.
son, 5000; aggregate, 100000. AT
the present price of this fruit
from % to 80 cents per pound for
peeled and II to IA unpeeled. il
Is the most profitable enterprise
that has been entered into in CIR
community recently, especially as
most of the peaches were such as
would not, if marketed. briro
much return. Besides, those hav-
ing orchards were enabled to save
all their fallen fruit. 1t has how
ever, been an exceptionally good
year for drying, the peach. from
the dry condition of the soil CON
tanning no excess of water. TINS
drying in shorter time and
yielding one fifth more in weight
than is usual. All who tried it are
pleased, and the probability is
that If there should be a crop of
peaches next year the number of
evaporators will be doubled or
trebbled. About one-third of this
frult was peeled, the balance un-
peeled. At the figures named
ABOVE, or rather the average of
the p cents for peeled and 13
cents for unpeeled, the value of
this fruit nets the neat little sum
Of S39,1OO. In figuring the cost ,
Of curing this fruit. Is cents per
pound for the peeled and 10 cents !

that $4,000 was paid out for labor :

AN ILLOGICAL SYSTEM

One of those little oddities of our Grim
1nal law that arise to puzzle the average
citizen every SO often has Just poppel to
the surface at murder trial in Ohio.
A young man was being tried for kill
ing his wife. His defense, mainly, was
insanity. His lawyers produced three
very eminent and reputable psychia-
tristS, all of whom swore that the prs-
oner was fearful nitwit. His mental
age, they said, was about eight years; he
could be called cross between a plain
moron and an utter imbecile.
Thereupon the state called three other
psychiatrists, all quite as eminent and
reputable as the first three. These three
declared that the young man was quite
normal mentally, fully accountable for
his acts and perfectly capable of dis
tinguiShing between right and wrong
Just how the jury felt about this con-
flicting testimony is not quite clear. Ap-
parently they either disbelieved the de-
fense alienists entirely, or decided to
throw the whole eXpert-testimony busi-
mess out the window and let their own
common sense decide At all events, they
convicted the young man Of first degree
murder, and he is to die in the electric
chair.
The whole business, however, empha-
sizes once more the utter ldCk u ioSlc
that rules our courts in this business OF
insanity and murder.
One would suppose that the logical,
sensible thing to do would be to find out
before bringing man to trial whether
he was mentally sound or unsound. 1t
should not be hard to do this. If the sci
ence of psychiatrv means anything at all,
a commission of alienists could easily
settle the matter in advance. 1t they
found the murderer insane he could be
locked up forthwith; if they found him
sane he could be put on trial and the case
could be heard on its merits.
But we don't do that. Instead we haul
in rival groups Of doctors who give con-
Trajectory testimony and leave the Jury,
very probably, more befuddled than 1t
would be without any experts at all. A
sane rascal can escape punishment III
this way, and an Anticipated monstros-
ity who ought to be in hospital can be
sent to the electric chair.
: Isn't it about time that we apphed
little common sense to the whole pro-
cess?

UNCLE WIGGILY S EARLY
SNAIL

"Comc on. Hurry up.' called
the Bob Cat one day as he slunk
into the den of thc Fox, whose tail
was as large as I dusting brush.
What's the rush - asked The
Fox trying not to feel proud of his
fine tail as he looked at the silly
little thing. no larger than your
thumb, which the Bob Cat called his
tail. "What's your hurrv'''
"Uncle Wiggily is coming along
the path through the woods" mewed
the Bob Cat. q gust saw him leav"
his hollow stump bungalow. If we
skip down to the end of the path,
where the woods are very dark, we
can catch him as he comes along.
Come on, Step on it,
''Stcp on wEat?' asked the Fox.
Il don t see anything to step on,
especially not your tail, for it ism t
long enough to step ON
"Ncver mind making fun of my
tail,' snarled the Bob Cat. 81 If YOU
want a rabbit potpie come along
with me to the end Of the path in
the dark part of the woods and we Il
wait for him to get there. 1t will
be easy for US to jump on him then,
