OUR MERORANTS SELL BETTER GOODM THAN ITINERANT PEDDLERS WVomen Should be Loyal to the Home Store and Help Laurens Grow. Past experience of the buying public demonstrates that merchandise pur chased at home from reliable uier chants and manufacturers is more sat isfactory than the supposed bargains .purchased frou the itinerant merchant that cares nothing for the welfare o the community, but only desires to dispose of his often Inferior goods,! leaving the community to solve it. own problems of financing itself by taxatton, etc. Often these purchases are rdade by women unthinkingly from the itinerant non-resident vendor., not realizing that their husbands are ,str1g daily in advocating and ad vertising to show the c-ublic the ad vantages of patronizing home indus tries by: F!irst. Retaining every available dollar' In Laurens. Secdnd. By satisfying the customer by exchange of goods. Third. By extending a reasonab~t' amouAt of credit. Fou'-th. By being a reliable home' nei -hant and liable for mistakes and' mi srebresentation. A point frequently overlooked by the buying public is that al citizens are engagid in some busincss or other, including laborers, mechanics. mor chanti, manufacturers or in the pro fe s6.ons. To illustrate, a doctor's wife belng calerd upon hy an itinerant with a pate it medicine for sale. 'What is the vife's first thought? Why, that her husband is a physician and their living is made by his prae tice. and that such imposters should not be patronzed. So it is with all other homes in the city. Mrs. B.'s husband Is a grocer. A non resident vend-:r scling dry goods, furs and ladles' ready-;o-wear ca:ls upon Mrs. B. and see how quickly she will -uy liis ware-s and pay exorbitant .:s. lad this vendor offered he g:cceries, she woubd have frankly in fzed him that he:- husband was in rCery :.-, T lCS5 0ow often is :he husbzad clamoring or hoe a:ronar- I his ,articular 5in; iof busirs. wile his wife is at 's-.e purchasi:z from itin-rant ven dors, seading her orders to mail order by: s or assistinr h( neighbors in L:, .D- g up a :: 1 0: dr ho1.ie lu0.

But, did yo)I ver call the attention of your home mor chan: to s:. whi ther or rot he coil d not supply your wants? A!] thi5 d,- no- al r lo:w- to the consuming public, but is also appli cable to merchaniits that c(o:aplain1 of Ib numroS abuss of their business. But one might ask the local mer chant "how much are you doing to mahe Liu rens prosper and grow?" You hav howled about patronizing home trade. Are you doing it yourself? Be careful, now, of what you are go 'ing to say. Several local manufactur ers and jobbers say they (10 not get the supplort of the home merchant. Why? Take an inventory of yourself and see what lines of merchandise you s-re handling and1 see what proportion you can purchase from your home jobbers, man ufacturie rs or laborers. Let him who makes .the first complaint of not patronlzing home industry see that he is doing unto others what he would that others would do unto him. Make. Record Growth.

FAILURE TO HEED SIGNALS CAUSED AWFUL WECK One of Ghouls on Scene Found -with Bible Vielonging to Dead Preacher In Possesion. Five of One Family (of Six all Loae Ieir Lives. Gulphur Springs. Mo.. Aug. 6.-FeWl ure of an enoineer to heed a block sig nal caus-d the rear end collision on the Missouri Pacifte here .last night in which 38'pecsons were killed ais about 137 injured, 25 seriously, ac cording to John Cannon, assistant gen eral manager of the road. Train No. 4. a fast passenger vesti bule steel train running at full speed crashcd into No. 32, a local composed of five wooden day coaches, a baggage and an express car as the engine was taking on water with the coaches stretching back on a trestle over Glaise creek. The i.act hurled two of the local coaches down a 50 foot embankment edging the Mississippi and telescoped four other coachos crushing a number of passengors to death in their seats. Both trainis wore behind time, the fast passonger. running from Fort Worth to St. Louis. carrying 1SO passengers, and the lo-il 100 persons. According to Mr. Cannon, 'Matt En ger Glenn. of St. Louis, ergineer of the faat passenger, failed to heed a block signal -warning him the track wLs not clear ahead. Glenn, 57 years old, an engineer for 35 years without a black mark aginst his record, was killed when he jumped from his cabin just before the crash. Edward Tins ley, aiso of St. Louis. fireman of No. 4, remained at his post and was in jured seriously. Engineer Glenn shortly before ar riving in Sulphur S.:rings received or ders "on the run" to pull over on a s-iding at Cliff Cave, 10 miles north of here to allow "Sunshine Special No. 1" en route from St. Louis to Texas pomins, to pass and Mr. Cannon ex plained the engineer failed to heed the signal because he apparently was roadig these orders when he passed the block. The orders were found near his body. Ghouls appeared on the scene short !y after the crash and robbed the dead and ding. O: one was arrested and lie said he was William Hill, of St. Lou:-. Svveral pieces of w'earing. ap :arel taken from the unfortunates were fo'irl on his person and a Bible was in his waist. The Bible, it was Z.d. had be'n thC :iroperty of the Rev. V. 0. l.n:;vy, of DSota, onf of those kiilcld. The dead and injured were p~cnd over an area of several city bioeks. and chicken crates, autonobile uhn n agage and the railroad tracks constituted their couches. This Ittlfe v1lagr.- of 1-.1 inhabitants was unabl' to care for the injured and t'' along wi the dead were taken to St. Louis and DeSoto. Dr. XW. WV. Ilull s the only ph ysician adininistering t > the inju re.i for several hours until 'i i train.s arrived. Id I had sonic assistance we might have saved some of the dying" Dr. ltull told a representative of The IAssociated Press. "At one time I was trying to ti-cat :15 per-sons simultane ously.' The cries or the injured had to go unheeded in many cases. Mothers begged for newvs of their babies and children cried for their parents. One i-months-old child, unable to tell lher' name, was found a mile firom the s::ene of the disaster' asking for "mamma". A woman from St. Louis took her' in charge. One of the saddest scenes reported was that of the Degania family, of St. 'Louis. Five of the family of six were killed and the father is reported dlying in a St. Louis hospital. Four of the Degania :hildren, Mildred, 7 years old' Ralph, 6; Melvin, and Robert, 14 months, lay dead to the right of their father before he could be removed, and Mrs. Degania lay dead ildedha been mumbling audi bly the Lords prayer and just as she recited, "Thy will be done," death 'sealed her lips. Mr. Degainia in his delirium clasped his infant son to his breast r'epeating between groans of pain, "Thank God,' Bobby, we're all alive," not knowing the hearts of his wife anti children wvere stilled. 'in the confusion several bodies wvere placed on 'th-e rbltef trains before be ing checked le-aving 'the number of dead uncertain. 'Many of the bodies couild not be' identified because their effects -had been1 scattered over such a wide ar-ea. The railroad tracks parallei the 'Mississippi river and the tr'estle on which the disaster occured spans Glaze cr'eek wvhere it enters the river'. As a i'esult a' report ivas currment that -a number of bodies we're washed intoI the iississ-Ippi, but there was no away of verifying this re'port. Itescue work was hlamplered by lack of light. This village is without e iriclty and the recscue workers andl morbidly euirious made their way avmong the niass o't twisted steel and crunillled wooden coaches by the aid of .kerosene torches' and cand(les. Thousands of' persons visited the scone late iast night and today, and roads wet-c hleda fo -thi'en milna Dr. Hull said bodies were found 30( feet from the scene of the' atcident One body was buried waist deep in a bog.
