NEGRO DRIVER KILLS
CHILD IN FLORENCE
Florence. ? 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

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

talked to several of the angered men
and quiet was soon restored. Testi-,
mony as to the rate of speed at;
which the negro was driving places j
it all the way from 20 to 40 miles, j
The speed limit is 15 miles.
^ The dead child, with a number of (
others, is soul to have been playing]
hide and seek in the street. 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.

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the disease
Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional
conditions, and in order to cure it you
must take an internal remedy. Hall's

and acts thru the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system. Hall's
Catarrh Medicine was prescribed b\
one of the best physicians in thi?
Country for years. It is composed >1

Fair anil even moderate prices of
fAr*/l * 4 - * *
?iiu iuuu yruuucis inese days of
abnormal conditions are so greatly in- ^
creased over prices which were standard
a year or two years ago that many
housekeepers whose family purse*
Uave not been fattened in proportion
to the advance in prices aro experiencing
difficulty in providing, even with
rigid economy, the necessities of life,
and many others are stretching the
weekly or monthly allowances over
these periods only by taking advan- 1
tage of every opportunity to save.
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.
