They Can't See in the Dark.

There are some merchants who are
doing business. and who are making
efforts to accumulate fortune, but
although they have goods to sell at
prices that please they never tell the
people about them by advertising.
They are content to secure what
trade passes their door. but they
don't think Of going out and making
people hunt them up. The old way
used to be to get a position on a
much travelled street and the public
would come to your store. but now,
its have the goods and advertise and
the people will find the way to your
place of business. Trying to get bus
mess without adertising is like smil-
ing at the girl in the dark-neither
customers nor girls can see in the
dark.

WILL GO OUT WITH TAFT.
Savannah Collector to Resign on
Fourth of March.

Mr.. W. R. Leaken, collector Of the
port of Savannah. has announced that
on Saturday or before he will for
mally tender his resignation to Pres
ident Taft, effective March I. His
commission does not expire until Au-
gust s, but he does not care to serve
under a Democratic administration
and will step out when Taft does.
This probably means that the Savan-
nah port Office will be the first filled
in Georgia by President Wilson.
There are already four or five candl-
dates for the position, which is the
most desirable Federal appointment
in Savannah.

THREE PEOPLE KILLED AND
FORTY INJURED.
The Westbound Express on the
Pennsylvania Wrecked When the
Engine Hits Broken Rail.

Three sleeping cars and da!
coach detached themselves from
derailed Pennsylvania express a
Glen Loeb, Pa, Thursday, plunged
down 20-foot embankment and
landed on top OF string of coal car:
on a parallel track. The accident
took at least the three lives as toll
while 40 or more passengers were
hurt. Probably some of these are IA
tally injured.
The heavy train, known as the
Cincinnati Express, was hauled by
two locomotives. 1t is the belief o1
railroad officials that broken rail
was responsible for the wreck.
Passengers in the cars that had
remained on the roadbed hurried tc
help persons caught in the plunge .,
the other coaches. The injured were
cared for in nearby farm houses un.
til the arrival Of relief trains which
were loaded, then hurried back to
Westchester or Harrisburg.
A remarkable feature Of the wreck
was that so many Of the passengers
regained their baggage. Sleeping cal
occupants said that after the first
shock when the cars toppled over
and they found no fire or serious
damage to the structures of the cars
that they were able to grope their
way back to berths and dress by the
light Of lanterns some Of the passen-
gers hustled into their clothes while
standing in vestibules.
The accident occurred near Glen
lock, 80 miles west of Philadelphia.
The Pulimans were steel cars Of the
latest type. Sixteen Of the injured
passengers were placed on a special
train and removed to the Westchester
hospital while trainmen and physi-
clans from the surrounding country
worked with lanterns in the midst
of a binding snowstorm in an effort
to uncover other survivors who
might be buried in the wreckage.
Other injured persons were taken to
neighboring farm houses and some
were sent on another train to the
West.
The bodies Of two Pullman conduc-
tors were found wedged between two
of the sleeping cars. The train con-
sisted Of nine sleepers, one day coach,
a combination baggage and mail car
and the Unitetd States mail car. The
leading locomotive left the track,
supposedly from a broken rail. The
second locomotive, however, remain
ed on the track.
