LITTLE ROCK MAN
 HIT BY 4 J|TNEY
Capt. J. F. Skillern Is Seri- ously Hurt as He Is About
 to Board Street Gar.

Little Rock, March 26--Capt. J, E. Skilern. e. years old, vice president of the Plankott-Jarre!l Grocery com pany, was struck and seriously injur- cd by a "jitney" bus at 7:30 o'clock this morning as he was starting to board an east-bound street car at Markham and Izard streets. The 'jit- ney" was being driven by Edward Pace, 1S-ycar-old chauffeur in the employ of 0. D. Tucker, local automo- bile tire dealer at 401 Main street. Paeo was arrested by Alderman Will liam l!<aISCr} Langc, who was Wit ness to the accident.
 That the car was being driven past the street car in violation ct city ordinance is the statement of wit nesses, who make varying estimates of the speed of the car.
 The accident is the first serious one reported to the police since the oper- ation of "iitncy" busses first was be- gun in Little Rock virtually a month ago. Ii will add to the force of aglta- ton for the requirement. by the city of an indemnity bond from each "jit- ney" operator to cover possible ln- fury to pedestrians. Such bond has been required in other cities where ''jitneys" are in operation. and has been discussed by council colhmittee

GOLDEN FLEECE ON
 BAR BELOW THE CITY
,Memphis.Littlc Rock Packet Goes Aground Last Night on Way
 To Capital.

The river steamer Golden Fleece of the Little Rock Memphis line, went hard and fast aground on sandbar just short distance below the city early last night, and was expected to remain there until after daylight to- day
 1t was remarked last night that the Golden Fleece is having much diff ficulty getting past Pine Bluff on it's trips, most likely because Pine Bluff is much more dry now than it was in former years. Attention was called also to tho fact that this year Pine Bluff has no bars except sand bars, whose presence therefore is SC much more noticeable.

Drew Brothers Grocery Co.
ANNOUNCEMENT

In entering the grocery business in Mesa, considerable
thought and consideration was given the proposition
OF establishing cash or credit system. We investi
gated the cash system and went thoroughly into
the credit system We discussed the matter with peo
pie who pay cash and with people who expect and Sc
credit We talked the matter over with the
firms who have done business under the cash basis
and under the credit system. We could reach but one
conclusion that of adherng strictly to the cash basis
Strange it may seem, the argument is all and dis
tintivelv in favor Of the consumer who paws cash
We learned that certainly buy goods cheaper
when pay the cash than by asking for credit In
return it did not take great deal of thought to ar
rive at the conclusion that we also give great
deal more for dollar in cash than dollar on our
books BY our plan, every customer is given the adj
vantage OF our discounts. Our customers are given
the advantage of the salary of bookkeeper and the
other expense necessary to maintain credit basis
However, here is the great saving in the cash store
certain margin OF profit is expected by all legt-
mate grOcers. Whenever every customer pays cash.
you cash customer getting your MONEYS
worth. If you are credit customer and doing bust
with credit store, who is going to pay for the
several customers who invariably fail to pay for what
they have purchased. The answer is easv--you pay
the bills that the credit customer fails to paw
In order to meet every exgencv and to provide every
convenience going still farther--we are going
to shave our profits little closer and paw YOU five
per cent commission for dealing at a cash store. W.
are going to sell coupon books to those who 50 desire
and allow discount of five per cent. In other words
if you purchase ten dollar book Of coupons it will
cost you $3.50 Or when YOU enter the store bring
your book with you and the five per cent discount will
be given just the same Remember this discount is
in addition to the low prices that will prevail in the
store.
The store will be open for business Saturday. Feb
