MAY FIND SLAYER
WAS WHITE MAN
Authorities Fail to Fasten Mis-
sissippi Girls Death Upon
Negro.

Meridian, Miss, April IA. - The
continuous hunt since Sunday night
for an unidentified negro suspected
of the murder of Miss Carrie Hatch
er, 18-year old daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Hatcher, who was chok-
ed to death and her body thrown into
a marsh in pasture close to her pa
rents home near here, where she
had gone to drive in the COWS for the
night, having failed sat every turn,
with the establishment of clear ali-
hi by practically every negro in the
surrounding country, the authorities
have about come to the conclusion
the crime was not committed by me-
gro in an attempted criminal as
sault.
1t is reported tonight that the in
vestigation has developed circum-
stances that may involve white
man who has heretofore escaped the
slightest suspicion and an arrest may
be made at any time. The identity
Of the man is being closely guarded
the authorities refusing to make a
statement with reference to their sus-
picions or as to the circumstances
that have caused a shifting bf the
investigation from a eountrk k-wide
beating of the brush to AkN hmme-
diate community in which he Hatch
er home is located.
The negro, who 1t is said hid got
out Of buggy close to the Hatcher
home Sunday afternoon and who had
been seen to go In the direction TAX
en- by the girl was found I'd be a
small boy who had no difficulty In
establishing the fact that he went to
a small store further down the road
from where he left the buggy and
that he left there in company with
some white boys, not going anywhere
near the scene Of the murder. This
was the only clue on which the au-
thorities had to work at the outset
and up to today they had centered
most Of their efforts In seeking this
negro.

T1REE-CEN SUGAR
BOOST IS EXPECTED
Shortage of Cuban Crop is As
signed as Reason for
Advance.

New Orleans consumers and con-
sumers throughout the country may
prepare for another boost in the price
of sugar within the next six weeks or
two months.
That was the statement Friday of
men in close touch with the sugar
market.
The increase is expected to be two
and a half or three cents pound.
Sugar was retailing in New Orleans
Friday for 19 cents. A three-cent
increase would bring 1t to FL cents.
THE shortage in the Cuban crop
has caused the price of Cuban raw
sugar to go UP and the market to a
large extent has got into the hands
of speculators-not in New Orleans
but elsewhere" said Geo. o. Allan,
chairman of the quotation committee
of the New Orleans Sugar Exchange.
1T is hard to tell what the outcome
will be-"
Contrary to reports, Mr.. Allan
intention of calling a meeting of the
exchange committee to prevent spec
ulation.
Inc CUBAN sugar men ana the
New York market hold the destinies
of the immediate future of the sugar
situation in this country; in the o.
pinion of most sugar men.
Cuban sugar production is short
about 100000 tons as against A.
100000 expected and it is being
sold on an open market that in the
last few weeks has scared from IL
cents to 16 cents pound.
New Orleans and the United States
have not yet begun to feel the effects
Of this; but they will as soon as the
Cuban raws, purchased at the higher
prices, have been refined and begin
to reach the retail market, those in
close touch with developments say.
Friday, the American Sugar REIN
ing Company was quoting sugar to
wholesalers at 1916 cents a pound

Natchez, Miss, April Ill. H.
Neville, commissioned by former Gov.

tion to make an audit Of the books

It Also says that the audit Of the
books and accounts Of Frank ". Else
le from January /, 1915 to January

debted to the county In the sum Of
$5,S64.50. In addition the auditor

s2S.01. 1t being stated that this sum

auditor from proceeding with an au-
dit OF the books and accounts Of the

pense Of the county and an appeal

ty supervisors with q proposition to

CUSTOMER oVERsHADows CAR
First Thought Given to Satisfaction
Of Purchaser Says Brookhaven
Auto Dealer.

''In the automotive world, the
customer has very largely oversha-
dowed the car" says Mr.. j. Sid Penn,
of the Heidelberg Auto Co.
To explain that, l may. say that
the entire trend of automobile man
ufacture and distribution is toward
the satisfaction of the customer and
the general public has become the su-
preme court in deciding the things
which previously were doped out by
designers and engineers.
This especially is true with refer
ence to the contact between the deal
er and the owner. 1t is simply the
application of the very ancient prin-
ciples of business by which the first
consideration in any transaction was
the purchaser. The good salesman
endeavors today to satisfy his custo-
mer rather than merely to sell him
something.
Our establishment operates in
strictest harmony with this new ethic
development of automobile merchan-
dising. We train our sales organi-
zation to give first thought to the
satisfaction and the contentment OF
the prospective purchaser. This does
not always mean that the man buys
the thing which he came In to pur-
chase. 1t involves an analysis Of his
needs and the delivery Of that which
will insure his entire satisfaction
with his purchase.
Thus a salesroom becomes more
and more a place where the custo-
mer's wants are analyzed and defined
rather than altogether an establish
ment where transactions are made
This is one of the reasons. that we
always welcome people who come in
to talk and visit with us about au-
tomobiles and the various parts there.
OF. Through such friendly converse
tion we learn facts which enable us
to recommend and sell those items
which will give permanent satisfac-
tion to our trade.p
There is much In Mr.. Penn's opin.
ions that Is food for serious thought
1t may remain for the automobile in
dustry, the newest and greatest ol
industries. to demonstrate the the
ory that the world OF commerce /.
primarily organized for the benefiI
of the purchaser.
