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

and ladles' ready-;o-wear ca:ls upon

Some persons .say "we are- unable
buy at home just what w wish.'
it is conceded that may be the ca
i o: in'arc :-. But, did yo)I ver
call the attention of your home mor
chan: to s:. whi ther or rot he coil d

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.
A recent note in Science records
whnt is believedl to be the temperate
zone recordl for a single season's
growth of a shoot of the tree type of
the woody plant. This phenomenal
shoot grew from the stuimp of a be
headed Paulownia and reached a
height of 21 feet 6 inches, a circum..
ference of 10 inches at the base and
had 24 leaves, one of which, meas
ured late In July, was found to be
.88 inches long in the largest dimen
efon.

FAILURE TO HEED SIGNALS

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

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.
