LECTURE LAST FRIDAY NIGHT

A large number of our merchants
and sales people were present at the
Court House last Friday night, when
Mr.. d. R. Thomas, expert lecturer OF
The National Cash Register Company
of Dayton, Ohio, gave an interesting
talk on retail merchandising
methods. With 5000 feet Of
motion pictures, the lecturer
depicted the troubles of the retail
merchant and showed how to remedy
them.
The speaker said that last year
alone, 4,013 retail merchants failed.
He said the majority of the failures
were caused by inefficient business
methods.
Mr.. Thomas laid emphasis on the
value of newspaper advertising to the
retail merchant He said in part :
Newspaper advertising travels far
and wide. 1t is the medium through
which the merchant gets his message
to the people in their homes. The
customer gets his store news and
general news together"
"The merchant who fills his ads
with news of his store and valuable
information about the goods he
carries is sure to win the favorable
attention of the reader. Ask any
merchant who his strongest
competitors are, and almost without
exception, he names the stores that
are heavy advertisers"
Window display also was dealt
with by Mr.. Thomas. The perfection
of store organization and other
interesting features were discussed
One of the big features of the
evening was the film which wildly
described the experiences of a
merchant who was struggling along
conducting his business in most
inefficient manner. His pool
management and lack of business
control were responsible for the
merchants finding himself on the
verge of bankruptcy. The film
shows how modern methods in
management carried the merchant
from failure to success. The lessor
taught will be helpful to al
merchants only if use is made of the
advice given.

KILLED ON WAY TO CHARLES
TOWN.

One man was instantly killed,
another so badly injured that he died
in few hours and woman and q
child were badly hurt and shocked
when the automobile in which they
were riding was struck by a
Baltimore and Ohio passenger train
at the State road crossing short
distance from Mt. Airy, Md, last
Saturday morning. The injured
were taken to Frederick on the train
and taken to the City Hospital
The dead are Harry Hill, 43 years
old, farmer, Mechanicsville, Carroll
county, and George Hill, Annapolis,
a motorman on the Washington,
Baltimore and Annapolis Electric
Railway.
Mrs. George Hill, suffering from
severe cuts, bruises and shock and
is severely injured.
George Hill, years old, on of Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Hill, suffering from
cuts and bruises.
The dead and injured were part of
a party coming to Charles Town to
spend Saturday and Sunday with the
Messrs. Hills sisters, Mrs. E. Frank
Davis and Miss Annie Hill, travelling
in two machines. In the front car,
which crossed the track safely, were
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles w. Lockard
and Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Hill and
daughter, May Hill, IL. years old, all
of Mechanisville. This car was
owned and driven by Mr.. Lockard.
Travelling in touring car owned
by George Hill and driven by his
wife, Mrs. Mollie Hill, the second
party was about 40 feet behind the
first machine.
Rain necessitated curtains on the
machine and a clear view was partly
obscured. In front with Mrs. Mollie
Hill was Mrs. Harry Hill. Her
husband, the owner of the machine,
and young George Hill 6 years old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Hill, were
on the rear seat.
The machine reached the center of
the track before it was struck by the
train. The car was reduced to a
mass of wreckage and the occupants
were thrown to the ground clear Of
the wreck, with the exception of
Harry Hill, who was dragged. The
train was Immediately stopped and
Engineer Parlett and Conductor
Moore hurried to the assistance Of
the injured.
Drs. Carl M. Van Poole, E. H.
Willard and Abram T. Cronk, Mount
Airy, went to the scene. The
injured were given first aid and
hurried to the Frederick Hospital
Lockard, owner and driver of the
first machine, said no signal was
given at the crossing and that they
had no warning of the approach OF
the train. Engineman Parlett and
Conductor Moore said that the
crossing bell was ringing and that
they were also ringing the bell on the
engine.
! A coroner's jury, summoned by
Sheriff Wertenbaker, held an inquest
and exhonorated the railroad crew
from blame. The company was
censured, however, for not having a
Waterman at the crossing.
The funeral of Harry Hill took
place at Mechanicsville yesterday
and George Hill will be buried at
Annapolis on Wednesday.

Review and Equalization was quoted
as willing to place an assessment of
$4,000 on the roasting plant of the
Standard Lime and Stone Company
at Millville. Mr.. Alexander would
not agree to place any assessment on
this property. He saidawe could not
assess it because it was not finished,
and after being shown the new act of
April 81, 1921, which became law
from the passage, which made it as
sessable as personal property, would
not agree to assess it.

Farewell to Summer,
Fare thee well,

And the flowers as well,
Soon all the leaves
From the trees will fall
And no singing of

That were bright and clear
Will soon be somber,
Dull, and drear,
The cricket and
The old owl too,
Have closed their concert,
And are through. L. w. D.
