IT WAS MURDER.
Anderson Mail.

Anderson Mail.
Mrs. Jarnagin, an aged lady Of
Greenville, was walking along street
in the suburbs of treenville last
Sunday night, on her way home from
church, and was run down by an au-
tomobile and killed. 1t was stated
that the automobile, which was run
ming at high rate Of speed, did not
stop after striking the lady, although
she was dragged for some distance.
The machine disappeared in the dark
ness before the occupants could be
identified, and so far there is no clus
as to their identity.
1t is to be assumed that the Green
lille officers will put forth every ef-
fort to apprehend the people who
were in the machine. This was
clear case OF murder, il there ever
was one. Reckless driving such as
was displayed in this case amounted
tc malice, and when peron is kill
ed through malice it is murder.

KTEPING TRADE AT HOME

System.
Competition with houses that sell by
mail is often a problem which the
merchants association in smaller
towns and cities seek to solve. System
recently asked number of represen-
eative associations what they belive is
the best way to handle this ploblem.
Five typical replies are given in the
following paragraphs.
IN eve believe that real service,
a willingness to exchange articles not
satisfactory to the purchaser, excel
lent catalog descriptions of the mer-
chandise and-to some extent-prlce
reductions, have made mail order
houses successful; and we believe that
when the local merchant learns how to
make real statesmen of his clerks, when
he himself learns what real service
means and knows how to control his
own business, the mail order business
in this state will begin to decline"
(2) zone of our main objects in
organizing is to hold business at home
and place a price on merchandise that
will give a saving to the mail order
customer. We are planning a month
ly house organ, to be issued to the
farmers in our buying community,
naming articles that can be bought
here at mail order prices, with a mer-
chants guarantee back of them
How Some Merchants are Fighting
Outside Competition.
.(3) eve cooperate as far as we can
to keep trade from going to mail Or
der houses and nearby cities by pro-
noting the Buy in Freeport' idea. In
this connection, let me say that think
the solution of the buy-at-home prob
lem is largely up to the home mer-
chants The smaller merchants in a
city like this are perhaps too prone
to condemn buying away from the city
without taking active steps to rea-
llze that they must adopt progressive
methods of doing business; and that
they must give service and goods which
will persuade people they can buy at
home as we'll as or better than they
can elsewhere When the merchants
let people know more about their
business through advertising, and
; when they 20 after business with
something of the progressive methods
their successful competitors use, then
they will solve to certain extent
/ the buy-at-home problem. There are
some merchants, of course, who dc
this, and they are not the ones who
complain most about the mail order
houses and people going to other cities
a. "Pav no attention to mail or
der competition, is our advice, We
urge members to make their goods
worth buying, and their store service
; inviting. We believe that persona
contact and seeing before paying will
grt business. if other conditions are
attractive. 'Ne advise pursuing the
same policy with regard to energy
cities. Our retail stores draw trade
from forty-nearby cities, and this
trade is growing larger every year
(5) eve have found that the less
that is said about mail order houses
the better for the merchants in the
! town An active campaign against
them will create new business for the
mail order houses instead of for us.
