Aubrey Richardson, 'aged nine years, son of Mr. and Mis Charles Richardson, was run over and killed on East Evans Street, near the Atlantic Coast Line passenger station, here tonight by an automo^ bile driven by Lonnie Wilson, a negro. For a time it looked as if trouble would result, threats being made against the life of the negro by some of the men- who gathered soon after the accident, but cooler heads prevailed and though the negro was -. Toughly handled, he was uninjured, and was placed safely in jail. The accident happened about 8 j o'clock. The little boy lived only an I hour. The wheels of the car passed I, over his body. Immediately after j 4U/. ? ?1 -1?* *?? ' av^iuunu cue m:gr'j uriver rusneo j in his machine for a physician and | took him to the Richardson home | } where the child had been takeif. It was when some one in the crowd accused the negro of driving at an excessive rate that trouble threatened. * I The negro denied that he was driving ' at the rate charged and a white man i struck him. The negro ran and succeeded in secreting himself under a' house on Gaillard Street, where he was found and turned over to an of-; ficer, who had difficulty in getting! the prisoner to the police station; but i after t^he station was reached Mayor j \i 1 Wo*"t s?l*ri vnrl r>r? tl\? n?'l I Vi??Prw? w w ?

The traf fic at the point where the accident occurred is great, the street' being the main thoroughfare for the Atlantic Coast Line passenger station. The parents of the little boy moved here only a few weeks ago and are originally from Williamsburg County, where the funeral will be held. ? j. . HM.ii9 jt .

Escaped from a Germa.* prison camp at night, shot at as he left the camp with a friend, making his way at midnight to the banks of the Rhine, diving in, floating for an hour before he reached the Swifts shore at Shaffhouse, Maurice Muller' came to the American Red Cross for :tid recently. A friend, Eniile Delroches, wan with him when he slipped out from the prison camp and into the Rhine, but Eirdle started sinking the Mar'seillairte in sheer defiance as he struck out for the left bank of the Rhine; and a German partol fired in the direction of the song that was ihe last Maurice saw or heard cf Emile. ' The current is strong above Schaff house; Maur:nc was tossed and ; whirled for an hour before he could 1 reach the Swiss shore. There he was found by Swiss officers, who exam- 1 incd him thoroughly to make sure he was not a German deserter, then sent him on to the French border at Evian.

Maurice is eighteen now; he was only fifteen and Georges was only twelve in November, 1914, when the Germans piled them into a train at Ostend, where their father was a hostel ier. The train crossed Belgium and Germany and took them to a1 prison camp at Darmstadt, just up the river and on the German side from Schaffhouse. There they worked at hard labor for three years. Dog meat occasionally, and potatoes always, was the daily faro.

Th* retailers are. as a general rule. v selling at prices which give them no t more than a reasonable profit above v cost and expenses of operation to which they are entitled; but one of the big items figured in cost is the expense of credit and delivery. This expense is of course greater in larger centers, but even in the small communities it 's a factor which contributes to making food and foodstuffs, already dear, even dearer to the consumer. Any plan whereby the retailer may be enabled sail food products even a fraction cheaper without cutting into the reasonable profit to which he is entitled and which he must necessarily have to maintain himself in business, will, undoubtedly, be welcomed by b >th the retailer and the consumer everywhere; and the "Cash ana Carry" plan, which is being employed in some of the larger cities of the conn- i try would appear to commend itself. . The "Cash and Carry" plan which I is simply the doing'away -with deliv| eries so far as that is practicable, and paying cash not only eliminates i the one expense of delivering one> goods at hit kitchen door, but alsc the more considerable expense ot book-keeping, credit and collections ot which the greatest la that ot credit since that term always implies a eer tain percentage of losses, which must tfKflwise be figured la by the mer ?hai\t, else he could hot continue In business yery long. Jj* other words the man who does not gay hit bill pen allies the man who does pay. It would appear that In any com munity the retail merchgjity would willingly give their customers ,th? benefit of these costs of delivery and credit -cutting down the prices ol food products, Jf they might have the cooperation of their customers on th? "Cash and Carry" plan, which would mean that the cuetontor would elthei call at or send to the store, pay cash for the goods purchased, and carry the goods home with him. ft) th? ' handling of heavy goods there must , [ of course, be deliveries made. As an example of what saving cam be effected through the "Cash and Carry" plan, one of the largest dairies in the United States operates 186 milk stores or depots In f$#w York City This big dairy corporation recently advertised what is termed "the biggei service," and announced that on Apr! 1st the "Cash and Carry" plan would become operative. To all those wh(. carry their %M)ntaim?rs to any one 6i the 185 milk stores, milk is stold at If cents a quart, for cash. If the irtilk i? delivered, as tho corporation is williur to do if that should he preferred. th< price for the same grade of milk il 1 n rents a quart. Through the "Cas! and Tarry" p an the consumer saves four cents a quart. Another system of food stores i: the metropolis, operating on the "Casl and Carry" plan, will, on each oru dollar's worth of goods purchased < give the customer 14 rents either lit , i cash or in additional goods, If the cus t.omer will carry his purchases wit! him and have the stores the expens of delivery, fourteen cents on the do lar is certainly worth saving. ?

AMERICANS LAUGH AT THEENEMY 6AS With the American Army in France. Except for artillery firing and patrolling, there was little new ?n Picardy last week. Every day the Americana became stronger. Apparently they are better intrenched than the Germany who are being continually harassed," rjay and night. Despite the enemy's heavy expenditure in gas, he has obtained no advantage in this sector, the Americans discounting his every move. A letter, which sedttted to be freshly written, found in the clctthtrig *>f X German killed by the Americans in Picardy, discloses the effectiveness of the American fire against the enemy and the difficulties the Germans are having in bringing up supplies. The letter read. German's Food Is Scant. "Here we lie in a village which has been completely demolished by artillery fire. The village is near htontclidier. We dare hot show ourselves We live in the cellar. We have to go and got our food at night. Last night I went out with a detail which brought back food. Wo got a direct hit. A shell hit our party, which killed some men and wounded several. I hope we will ?;oon be taken from the western army." The first German-American to be caught spying on the Americans is in i custody. Behind the charge of being a traitor to his country, contained in the report of Ids arrest, is the story that he aided a German prisoner to escape. Both men donned American officers' uniforms and entered the line from the rear in the late afternoon. They said they were studying the ground between the lines with [\ view to using tanks and asked to be allowed to cross the lines. The officer to whom they made the request soon discovered the ruse and Jidcred them taken to the rear. There it was found that one of the men was i German and that the German-Ammean was his accomplice. The weather has been unsettled-, for several days, preventnig much in'antry activity. There have been 50me aerial encounters. One of the \merican patrols last night encoun cred an enemy working party. They shot the sentinel and rushed the ene- I uy, but later retired, owing to the superiority in numbers the Germans lad over them. Buy War Savings Stamps.
