LOCAL MATT.ERS-

The TROGDEN CASE-THE JURY NOT YET
LAGREED.-In the Hastings Court yesterday,
in the case OF W. i. Trogden, OF Green's
boro', y. G., indicted for obtaining about
$500 or 5000 worth OF dry goods on false
representations from M. Millhiser & Co., OF
this city, Mr. Ball, OF Greensboro. addressed
the iuly for accused. lie was followed by
Judge Crump on the same side.
The courtroom was crowded with spec
tators, and the weather being very warm
Judge Crump was overcome by heat and
had to suspend his argument for time. lie
was soon able to proceed, butyct not strong
enough to stand lie sat in chair and
concluded his speech.
The counsel for Trogden (Judge Crump.
Mr.. S. N. Page, and Mr.. BalD defended
their client with great ability. They cross
questioned the witnesses with eminent sue
cess, and ayailed themselves OF every point
of law or turn in the evidence which the
case presented in their favor.
Captain George d. Wise, Commemorative
attorney, closed the case on behalf OF tie
prosecution. lie made a nastcrly review
Of the testimony, and stated the law with
great force and clearness. .--.....r.
The case was given to the Jury without
instructions from the Judge, neither side
having asked for them.
Altef we Jury Ilttu uccH ou1 eC' VAoi ho"t'
they were brought into court 10y their
request, and member asked the Judge il
they must believe beyond doubt that the
statement Of the firms financial condition
given by Trogden to Mr.. Hirsh, OF Millhiser
Il Co., alone caused Millhiser Co. to part
with their goods? T.. . -. &c.
Judge Christian replied that the jury
must be satisfied beyond all reasonable
doubt that Millhiser & Co. believed the
statement Of the prisoner to be true, and
that that was the prevailing and controlling
influence which caused Milihiser d Co. to
part with their goods.
About O'Clock the jury, being unable to
agree upon n verdict, were committed to
the custody Of the Sergeant, and the court
adjourned until 10 O'Clock this morning.
1t was whispered about the courtroom
that the jury were equally divided in opin-
ion as to the guilt of Trogden. But on that
point there is, OF course, no reliable infor-
nation. The falsty OF Trogdcn's financial
statement to Mr.. Hirsh (and to several other
Richmond merchants from whom he bought
goods about the same time) was clearly
proved. The points Oh which there Is
doubt are whether the sale was consunl-
mated before Trogdcn made the false state
ment, and whether said statement was the
cause prevailing with Millhiser d Co. 10
part with their goods to Trogden

ADVERTISING.

To the device Of advertising there is lit
orally no end. The last that has come 10
our notice is a proposition to paint adyer-
tisements upon plates and Other articles in
dining rooms, pitchers in restaurants, &C.,
&c This would be quite as good as put
ting them upon rocks, board fences and
similar devices tor like purposes, and prob
ably like them would be more profitable
to the artist than advertiser
Recent discussion has brought out the
fact very clearly that the regular well-es-
tablished newspaper is altogether the best
medium for making known to the public
the advantages which a house in any line
of business has to offer. But it is to be
borne in mind that advertising of any sort
will be Of little use unless the advertiser
has really good articles at advantageous
prices All that advertising can do Is TO
bring customers 10 examine what is offered.
1t depends upon the article and the dealer
whether it is bought or not. If a firm has
something worthy the attention Of the pub
lie, advertising in good newspaper mediums
will secure that attention better than any
and ell allotted ways. This has been
demonstrated by experience. For exam
pie essr 8. Isaac Smith d Sons Of New
York say:
"If what you have to say be strictly
true, say it in good uewsp aper For for
ty-seven years nine-tonths Of our adver-
Using mas been done on this plan, and Of
the whole expenditure all that We regret
is contained in the other tenth"
The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing achine
Company likewise say:
I'm no department Of business is there
probably so much money wasted as in ad-
vertisiDg, and in no department are good
judgment and experience more requisite.
Twenty-Five years experience has clearly
demonstrated the superior advantages and
economy OF newspaper advertising over all
other mediums offered for that purpose"
ssrs Lord & Taylor the eminen. dry
goods house of New York, give their opin-
ion of advertising as follows:
"Of all methods opened to the merchant
for advertising his business, an experience
of nearly halt century enables us to un-
hesitatingly declare in favor of the news
paper. 1t is without exception, the most
economical, persistent, painstaking and
successful canvasser any business firm can
secure for the purpose of bringing their
goods to the attention OF the consumer"
This testimony is in perfect accord with
that given by other large establishments,
some Of which We have heretofore referred
TO. And it is noteworthy fact that all
the great business houses of New York
are regular and constant advertisers in all
the leading daily journals and periodicals
of that city. Some of them devote 500
900 year or more to making known their
business through the newspapers
