Arrested For Child Stealing.

On Monday DR.. G. G. Brown pub
lished communication in the Item
concerning negro named Robert
Clinton who was wanted in Barnwell
County for child stealing. Yesterday
Dr.. Brown received information that
led him to go, before Magistrate
Wells and have a warrant issued for
the arrest of a negro man who has
been livig near Pocotaligo for the past
few weeks. The warrant was placed
in the hands of Officer John Barwick
and the arrest of Clinton followed as
a matter course. Yesterday afternoon,
Clinton was committed to jail and the
little negro boy be is accused of steal
ing from Sarah Duncan, of BarnweH,
was turned over to DR.. Brown.
The Sheriff of Barnwel was wired
Of the arrest Of Clinton and he tele-
graphed Sheriff Scarborough to hold
Clinton until this afternoon when ne
will come for him.
Clinton admits that the boy is
Sarah Duncan's child, but claims that
she gave it to him, and that the
charge Of stealing is a pack Of lies.
He also admitted when closely ques-
toned that BE had been severely whip
ped for stealing another child once be-
fore. He says, however, that when
he was whipped he had not stolen the
child as charged, butsome people told
a pack of lies to get him whipped.
Clinton appears to be a silly sort of
negro and it is probably true, as
charged, that he is monomaniac on
the subject of child stealing.

James WiIcox's New Trial.

Charlotte, N. c., November IA
special to the Observer from Elizabeth
City, N. c., says:
"James Wilcox, the alleged murder
er of Nellie Cropsey, who was convict,
ed Of that crime some months ago and
sentenced to be hanged, and later
granted new trial by the Supreme
Court, was arraigned in the Superior
Court here this afternoon at $50
O'Clock for the second trial. The
prisoners demeanor was cool and self
possessed. He was neatly dressed and
he entered the Court room with a
smile on his face and his appearance
was none the worse for his long confne-
ment. His attorney, E. F. Aydlet,
said that Wilcox was not ready for
trial, and that he would present an
affidavit in support of petition for a
removal of the case. Solicitor Word
said that the present was she time to
make the motion, as he had counter
afidavits to present. The question
whether the case will be tried here at
this or later session of the Court
or moved to another county will be
argued before Judge Moore tomorrow.
No demonstration is expected. -

a stolen Child.

A negro woman, living in the town
OF Barnwell, writes that man named
Robert Clinton has stolen her boy, and
brought him to Sumter. Twice he has
written to her, telling her that be will
send the boy, if she will send him
some money. He says to her that he
is living in brush arbor in the sub
urbs of Sumter. The mother is in a
state of great distress, and begs che
people Of Sumter to aid her in finding
her boy. Robert Clinton is said to have
monomania for stealing children,
and has lately been severely beaten for
committing the same crime in another
place. Through nay relatives in Barn
well, / am In Communication with the
mother, Sarah Duncan, and I will take
pleasure in transmitting to her any in
formation that may be given me con-
corning her bog. &C. G. Brown.
P. S. I hope the white people will
mention the above facts to the ne
groes, or else give them the Item to
read, so that they may be led to take
an interest in finding the boy.

Journalism in Japan.

English given in the Japan Society's

editor of the only paper in Japan print

Cotton Growing in British Pos
sessions.

Measures are being taken by the
British Cotton Growing Association
to improve the quality and increase
the yield Of Indian cotton by encourag
ing modern systems of cultivation, the
more careful selection of seeds and bet
ter ginning and packing. It is from
the west coast Of Africa that the most
satisfactory results are expected by
the association, and the governors of
the various districts interested, as
well as other government officials,
have been approached by the associa--
tion, which has succeeded in securing
their support. The resulg of these
negotiations is that the association will
dispatch "expert expeditions to the
various colonies and protectorates in
that part of the British empire for the
purpose of conducting practical ex-
periments on the land provided by
the respective governments. Special
efforts are being made to enlist the
cooperation Of the natives by inducing
them to grow cotton on their own
plots, and factories are to be erected
on the coast for the purpose Of gin
ming, pressing and baling the cotton
and afterward shipping it to Liver
pool or Manchester. Where railways
exist the government has promised to
convey the cotton to the coast free of
charge for two years, but in most
cases the crops will have to be brought
from the interior by means of the
rivers. Sir Alfred Jones, who has
shown great interest in the scheme,
has undertaken to convey all West
African cotton to England, freight
free, for a perid of two years. In
one portion of Sierra Leone-the
Sherbro district-an experiment. has
already been made with Egyptian
seed, which was distributed in March
last, and, as the cotton shrubs have al
ready matured, the harvest is looked
for at Christmas. It is said that a
large industry can be built up in the
Sherbro district if the natives are
taught according to modern methods.
In British Central and East Africa
also the prospects are considered to
be promising. The only difficulty to
be overcome is the question of trans
port and freight.

Prof. Gustav Meyer, the young

cation the astrologer asks that the

among the friends of the navy is that
the dates named by the professor are
those coinciding with the naval ex-

these fears, but the sweethearts and

cATcH PHRASES.
Their Utility In Advancing the An
terests OF Business Men.


terests OF Business Men.
There are many instances Of where a
suitable catch line well drilled into
people has been Of great value in build
ing business. The best catch line is
one that fits your business best, and
the discoverer Of such a line is apt to
be due more to inspiration than 20 ef-
fort. Pick the distinctive feature Of
your stock or business methods and en-
deavor to express it in breath.
If you can coin q phrase that ex-
presses your central business idea or
emphasizes some feature that marks
your store alone, You can make good
use Of it. 1t puts into condensed form
an idea that will get hold Of people
and influence them if persistently pre-
sented to them. One fact about your
business we'll lodged in the heads OF
people is as good as a score that do not
penetrate.
You can make people believe about
what you like if you go about it prop
erly. If man comes to you today and
tells you there will be panic inside
of six months, you will pay no atten-
ton to him. If another comes tomor-
row with the same story, he will get
no attention, but you will idly wonder
what is getting into folks. The third
man you Will argue the matter with.
The fourth will get more Of hearing,
and you will begin to see signs OF dis
aster yourself. BY the time the tenth
man has made the statement you will
be ready to tell folks the same story
yourself.
Probably you yourself could not be
Influenced in such a manner, but the
common run of people are built that
way and will believe what they are
told often enough. That is why an
expressive catch phrase does good. 1t
comes to stand foryou and your meth
DDS and of necessity is remembered
when goods in your line are wanted.
AS ordinarily used such a phrase is
Of little value, because it is not proper
ly hammered into people. Such line
should go on letter heads, billheads,
stationery, envelopes, should go into
every ad. or, circular, should be seen
about the store and should appear on
labels. Put it on stcker to attach to
goods and packages. Let people see
it everywhere. If 1t means what II
