air Exhibit.

This paper has mentiOned on seVerai'
occasions the fact that the merchants
and manufacturers OF Union City should
have commercial exhibit at our fair
grounds. A few Of the business men
have from time to time been doing
something towards this kind Of enter
prise, but it is not general. The Wom-
ans Building has been used for private
booths, but this is not at all sufficient.
The merchants and industrial plants
should be represented with trades dis
play at our fairs. There are several
purposes to be served in this kind Of an
exhibit. First it will be an additional
attraction for the fair, and every man
owes it to his business and to himself
to promote the interests Of the fair.
A trades display will be not only an
added attraction to the fair, one Of the
very best, but it will be real, live adj
vertising proposition for each exhibitor.
The Woman's Building is not large
enough for trades display. 1t is not
more than large enough for complete
exhibit of the Woman's Department.
Therefore we say chat there should be
an independent department for COM
mercial exhibit. The West Tennessee
Fair Association is not now able to put
up building OF this kind. The assoc
citation has been so liberal in its prem
iums and improvements that its finances
are not in d condition to build, but the
trades display should not be lost for
this reason. Those interested should
have temporary quarters until the assoc
citation is able to build, or arrange
ments should be made with the associa-
ton whereby building could be erect
ed by exhibitors and stock issued to-
them to the extent Of the expenditure.
No one could object to this. 1t would
increase the value OF the holdings and
interest in the fair. 1t would give the
association more and better boosters.
III not practical to build this year then
tent should be rented for the purpose
OF making trades display. The Sc
cret on the whole business lies in the
fact that the business men Of Union
City should take more interest in the
fair. They should do everything possi-
BILE to attract the people Of the various
communities tributary to the fair to the
regular annual meetings, and nothing
would so conduce to this end as a CONF
mercial exhibit, nothing would benefit
the exhibitor more in the way of DEM
onstrating and advertising his goods.
The Commercial believes in newspaper
advertising. There is no better me-
dunn Of advertising than the newspaper
except in the demonstration Of wares
and display Of merchandise. The conn
ty fair and the business mems interests
arc inseparable. There is no local en-
terpriso woetL more than the county
fair. Ii brings or should bring the
community interests together in mutual
and interchangeable trade and social
relations. Ii should be an annual
meeting 81 pleasure and profit, and
there Is no better way to bring this
abopt IN satisfactory mann: q ;s;slll iol
our business and industrial interests to
be brought before the people at the fair
in asplendid commercial exhibit.

c. Y. RAILROAD
HOLDS A RECORD
Road Carried Nearly Nine Million Pas.
seneers in Five Years and No One
Killed or Injured

The Cumberland Valley Railroad
holds record that is probably unique
among the railroads Of the country
that while 8, $4,000 passengers were
carried in the five years ending De-
cember 81, 1911. not a single one was
killed or injured as a result of a train
accident.
The Cumberland Valley Railroad is
the operating company extending from
Harrisburg, Pa. to Winchester, Va, a
distance OF 1885 miles. On that
mileage in the past five years it has
hauled 1872, ,6O2 passengers one
mile with perfect record.
The Long Island Railroad, another
part of the Pennsylvania System, has
just made public figures showing that
in eighteen and one-half years not one
Of the one-third of a billion passengers
carried had been killed as a result of
train accident. The official figures
show that this road has carried exact
369,016,054 passengers from June l.,
1893 to December 81, 1911.
The Long Island Railroad has prob
ably the densest passenger traffic in
The country, and, due to the restricted
erritory covered, all of this traffic is
properly termed suburban. 1t is thus
seen that committing on the Long Is
land has been made as safe as modern
science and engineering can make it.
The density of the traffic is shown by
ct that the number of passengers
carried one mile since 1898 is Sab
268, 79S-over five billion--or more
than one-third of the population of the
entire world.

RAiLRoASD FACE
TRAFFIC PROBLEM
Puzzled Over How to Care for Gettys
burg Celebration Next
Year

When deep burrows of care appear
in the brows of the passenger agents
of two different railroads and the usu.
al fight for passenger business re-
verses itself into a hope that an ex-
pected number of people will not at
tend a certain future gathering, then
1t may be known that a transportation
problem that almost eeies solution
has appeared.
Such a problem is now facing the
w. Md. Ry ard the p. g. r. Ry, and
what is worrying their passenger ag-
ents and their operating officials is the
handling of the crowds that will at
tend the celebration of the 50th ami.
versary of the Battle of Gettysburg,
to be held July /, 2, 3, and of next
year.
The w. Md. and the Reading are the
only two railroads running into Get
tysburg. Both are single track roads
on that part of their systems, and at
Gettysburg their yard facilities are
no more than they actually need at
the present time. But ut this celebra-
ton next year, there will be enough
people to require three or four times
the yard space they now have.
This problem of handling the Get
tysburg crowds at the anniversary
celebration is of a magnitude that, il
is believed, has never before confront
cd an American railroad
According to the present plan of the
anniversary commission. every veter.
an of the Union and Confederate Arm
les in the Civil War will be invited to
attend A number of states have ap.
propriated the money to pay for the
veterans transportation, and at Get
tysburg, the government will provide
subsistence and quarters
The war department estimates that
10000 veterans will thus attend, but

"MAN WHO STOOD STILL"

of Civil War Days.

The death of d. w. Stockwell of Au.

of the quaintest characters in Illinois.
He was known as the man who stood
still"
AS owner of one of the biggest stores
in Northern Illinois outside of Chicago
during the civil war Mr.. Stockwell
prospered. After the war he failed to
keep abreast of the times and the same
goods which he carried then still adorn
the shelves and show windows of the
store.
Five years after the war he was still
making n profit In ten years more
the place was a curiosity shop and has
continued so. The hoop skirt barber
striped hose, jet jewelry and like an
Equities continued part of his stock
IN latter years he was the only one
who entered the place except visitors
to the city. He did no advertising. He
had about $4,000 worth of goods and
settled down to wait for customers
who never came. He was at business
at o'clock each morning and remain
ed until six o'clock in the evening.
