'L.S
(By GEE McGEE)
A fellow up in North Carolina
(und he ain’t no chemist or scientist
either) has discovered how to manu
facture gasoline at a much lower fig
ure than the big oil corporations
have to charge. When he buys 50 gal
lons of gasoline, he likewise buys 50
gullons of kerosene, and empties both
of ’em in the same tank, and Bango!
He has 100 gallons gasoline. He sure
is a samrt boy. in fact, he’s too smart
to be running u filling station; he
ought to be in politics.
Mr. Sinclair is away from home for
about 60 days. Mr. Doheny und Mr.
Fall will not accompany him as was
expected about a year ago. Mr. Fall’s
health gets so bad when he approach
es a court house, the doctors think it
best for him to stay around home und
look after his oil farm.
The cost of food at retail declined
one.tenth of one percent during
March. That means that out of every
dollar a man made during that month
the installment agent got one cent
more than during the previous month.
The treasury department reports that
there are $4,567,995,000 on deposit in
savings accounts in the United States
Nearly all of that, of course, is being
laid aside to make the “down pay
ment."

Uncle Joe went to see the doctor
the other day about Aunt Minervy.
The doctor asked him what her symp
toms were, and Uncle Joe said: “Well
she got up this morning at her regu
lar time, about 4 olclock. She woke
me up crawling over me, but I soon
went back to sleep. She cooked
breakfast, milked the cows, cut
enough stove wood to cook dinner
with, done the week’s washing and
hung out the clothes, got the young-
uns off to school, worked a little in
garden, and when she came in the
house to put on the turnip greens she
commenced to complain about being
tired and worn out. She ain’t never
done that before, and I want some
medicine for her. I am kinder un
easy.” What Aunt Minervy needed
was a dose of strychnine for Uncle
Joe, but the doctor sent her calomel.
If some educated squirt were to
say that turnip greens and corn
bread caused freckles, that would end
those two health essentials for all
time. And if he were to advise
against milk because it prevented lip
sticks from lasting a week, milk
cows would all be turned dry in a
month. With a few exceptions, in
cluding writers and old maids, this
country is made up of fools, two by
fours, doubting Thomases, and ill-
men believers.
I know a woman and a man up in
North Carolina who have never gos_
sipped a bit. Both are deaf and dumb
and have never learned the sign lan-
guge.
Patent Leather Shoes
Back yonder when I was shimmy
ing between the age of youth and
adolescense, or to be perfectly plain
about the matter—when I was com
ing 17, I decided that if it were pos
sible, I would dress up. Money was
as scarce at that time as religion is
today. A dime was a sideshow and a
dollar was a menagerie. I sold my
yearling for $3, and proceeded to the
store only 19 miles from home.
DELAY EXPECTED
IN MURDER TRIAL.
Manchester Cate May Not Bcgif.
Beioie June 24th. More Time

Macon, June 10.—Trial of Earl
Manchester, charged with the murder
of James W. Parks, and in connection
with which Mrs. J. C. Powers is held
us an accessory before the fact, may
not begin until June‘24, it was in
dicated Saturday by Solicitor General
C. H. Garrett.
The solicitor stated that so far as
the state is concerned the case, is
ready for trial, but he said Elmer
Manchester, brother of Earl, who
came to Macon from Rochester, Midi.
has suggested that another week be M «on shopping ^Thursday
given tor preparation of the defense. |
He said that in the meantime he!
mignt be able to employ additional
counsel.
P. F. Brock, one of the best known
lawyers in Macon, und James W.
Schell, already have been designated
by Judge H. A. Mathews as counsel
for Manchester.
We want to be fair with the de
fense,” said Mr. Garrett. “I shall
confer with the lawyers for Manches
ter on Monday and at that time the
date of the trial will be definitely-
fixed, but it will probably be delayed
a week beyond the tentative date,
June 17, that had been fixed.”
Mr. Garrett stated that he would
also question C. P. Burnham, 23, lino
type .operator of Jacksonville, Fla., a
former roomer in the home of Mrs.
Powers and on whose life Mrs. Pow
ers had paid the premium on a $6,000
insurance policy for a couple of years
finally surrendering the policy after
Burnham disappeared and accepting
settlement with the company for the
amount that she had paid in.
Burnham was arrested in Jackson
ville by Bibb county deputies, Luther
Stevens and Bill Branan, on Saturday
and booked at the Bibb county jail at
1 o’clock Sunday morning. Burnham
is charged with arson in a bench war
rant obtained by Mr. Garrett, in con
nection with the burning of resi
dences of Mrs. Powers ‘on the Hous
ton road on which Mrs. Powers col
lected fire insurance.
Onfe of the fires occurred on May
17, 1925, according to the officers.
Twelve days later Burnham is said to
have' appeared at a business college
where he was studying, his tuition
money being supplied by Mrs. Powers
with a considerable roll of money
The body of E. E. Valentine, agent
for the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, was found in a field beyond the
cemetery on July 4, 1926, he having
been shot to death. A coroner’s jury
after a lengthy deliberation held that
Valentine’s death was suicide
Valentine is the agent through
whom Mrs. Powers negotiated for the
policy on Burnham.
It was shortly after Valentine’s
death and the fire that Burnham dis
appeared. He went to Pinehurst, Ga.
and then to St. Petersburg, Fla., ac
cording to the officers, but Mrs. Pow
ers is said to have trailed him to the
latter city.

The sun was boiling down on me in
all its beaming oppressiveness when
I started to church a-walking, (it

Those shoes pinched my toes, rubbed
my heels, and burnt my soles. 1

as possible.

and Sunday didn’t come any too soon
for me. I slept with those shoes in the
