Is He Fort Mills Suspect?

Fort Mill people will watch
with interest developments in
the case OF man who was az
rested in Charleston Saturday
night as suspicious character.
When arrested. the man. be
lieved to be John w. Johnston,
alias Clark, alias Yates, had
among other things on his person
two newspaper clippings, one of
which told of the vain pursuit
by the police OF Fort Mill of a
suspicious character who alighted
from the rear platform of pas
senger train from Charlotte. The
story of the pursuit of such q
suspect was told of in The Times
last week. The other newspaper
clipping which the prisoner had
told of the theft of a mule at
GaStonia, n. c., and the escape
of the thief. Besides these, the
man was found to possess $40. 80
IN postage stamps, and his ar
rest is said to have followed an
attempt to sell the stamps in
Charleston. 1t was believed
that the man had robbed post
office somewhere.
Requests for information con-
corning the man who was chased
from Fort Mill were received by
the police of this city Monday
morning. There are several meh
here who are positive they could
identify the man were they to
see him again.

sold in their town, they are not al
lured by mail-order catalogs. City
merchants used the daily papers to do
every day in the year, a little at a
time, in the most attractive form the
work which the mail-order houses do
in remote sections by one enormous
catalog. City merchants killed mail
order business by using the same
geographically, steady, attractive,
definite, specific publicity.
The wise merchant knows that the
way for him to do is to have wares
described glowingly in the same
homes into which the mail-order cat
alloys go. The newspaper can put a
mail-order business on the blink eve
ry day in the year, every place in the
country, every time the local goods
are specifically and attractively illus
trated and described-Moscow Mirror.

GEM COUNTY

The approval by Governor Alexan-
der of the enabling act for the crea-
ton Of Gem County puts the matter
up to the people within the boundaries
Of the proposed county to decide by
their votes whether they desire the
new county to be created. The cleo
tione will be held May IL. Until that
time the pros and cons will be dis
cussed in a thorough manner.
The question is purely business
proposition, and resolves itself into
whether the people as whole will
be benefited by cutting loose from
the two parent counties and setting
up housekeeping for themselves. For
that reason the question should be
considered calmly and from its many
points of view Until the arguments
on both sides have been heard and an
alyzed, the voters should reserve their
decision. There is no occasion for
heated arguments, Such action will
only arouse enmities that will be de-
trimental to the good of the commune
ty. Let it be remembered that we must
all live together here after the quest
ion is settled. Let's act calmly and
cooly-let's keep our shirts on"
Let's respect each others opinions if
they are honest and straightforward,
and frown upon any attempt to array
the country against the town or the I
town against the country. One can
not exist without the other. Their
interests are so interviewer that what
ever of good or evil effects one must
effect the other.

ly a score of white men, prospectors
all of them, with eyes intent upon the
game.
1t was uncommon, this crowd at
the Hite cabin. There had never been
so many white men at the place at
one time before. For the play of
the silver seeker the stage setting
was perfect and he was taking full
advantage of it. Hoskaninna was
losing and losing heavily. And the
eyes of the white men were upon him.
Hoskaninna, heap big chief, never
observation-disclosures, could not
quit the game. Big Navajo chiefs
never get "cold feet" Hoskaninna
would play on. He would put up his
own scalp and the scalp of every
brave and squaw in his tribe before
he would leave the table and hear
or feel the jeers of the watching pale
faces. 1t was war again. War of a
different sort, but was just as deadly
in the earnestness as that of 1866
when he, of all the Navajo chiefs,
had not yielded. He would not yield
now. Luck would change.
The cards are dealt.
"What'cha doin', chief" Hite asked
coldly.
"Me stay" the Indian answered.
By the rules of poker every horse,
sheep and blanket Hoskaninna pos
sessed had become the property OF !
Cass Hite during the progress of the
game. Midnight had passed and the
eastern stars would soon be lost in the
dull gray of dawn. But there was no
thought of sleep inside the cabin and
there would be no thought of sleep
until the game was over.
The Navajo chief called for three
cards, called for them by grunt and
the holding up of three ugly fingers.
He held a pair of jacks. Upward
from the edge of the table he lifted
The three, new cards. Some players
night have changed expression, might
have moved a foot, breathed diff I
'erent breath, but Hoskaninna let the
ards fall upon his other two as me- /
as though his hands and
,rain were steel. He had drawn two '
more jacks. 7
"What cha doin'?" Hite asked "a |

Hoskaninna unlocked a wide belt v
which he wore about his waist and S
laced it on the table. 1t was worth F
n silver about $40. "Twenty dollar h
silver" he grunted. n
No one demurred at the valuation Il
he chief placed on his belt. The h
econd Indian put up Navajo
lanket. Hite doubled the bet by
lacing $40 in gold on the table. fl

HOW TO DO 1T

No retail merchant can with equan
unity look upon the prospect of having
money pour out of his community into
the vaults Of powerful mail-order
concern in Chicago or other eastern
city. 1t is the natural and the neces-
sary desire of every retail merchant to
divert that stream of business into his
own store, to secure from purchasers
the volume of business which the
merchant can not survive having turn
ed to competitor in vast mail-order
business elsewhere.
What the retail merchant must do is
to study the situation, analyze the
means by which the mail-order con-
Germs of the east secure trade, and
then determine upon the method by
which he can successfully compete
with his unseen rival. securing to him
self the profits that are rushing a
broad
Every one knows that the mail
order houses of the middle west which
have made such tremendous inroads
on western retail business present
their wares to prospective patrons in
an attractive and specific way. They
illustrate all classes of merchandise
which they have to sell, and they de-
scribe each article in the fullest detail
and in the most striking language.
This is all there is to it. They pre-
sent their wares so as to kindle desire
1t is not the price which catches the
reader, it is the graphic description,
the attractive picture, the definite in
formation about thousands upon thou
sands of articles No generalities
like, eve sell this, that, OF the other"
but careful and studied presenta-
ton of the best features OF every sep
arate article of merchandise for sale.
This is the mail-order house method. |
1t is their only method. They see
that people know what they have and
they create a desire for it.
Having found out what the method
of the mail-order house is, the next
step for the retail merchant is to de-
termine just how to compete with that
method. The answer to this problem
was solved long ago by the city mer-
chants. 1t is well-known fact that
mail-order houses do not prosper in
the city feature of their business.
They do not make their money in
towns.
The mail-order houses have found
out that to succeed they must not try
to get town trade. They must send
their alluring catalogs into the re-
mote sections where reading matter is
sparse, where local wares are not sys-
tematically and attractively set forth,
where their catalogs have no COM
petition.
How were the mail-order houses
driven out of the immense and lucra-
tive field of city business2 By the
system Of advertising in daily papers
by town merchants. This is a we'll
fact. The daily newpa-l
per, freely employed, put the mail
order houses out OF business in the
cities. When readers can get daily
specific information about everything

dian who had bet the blanket forfeit

"Me cover-raise hundred dollar
I the chief said
"Pll see that hundred and put an.
other on top" sHite replied. He tool
the money in gold twenties from s
stack of coin near his hand and showed
/ it to the center of the table.
Hoskaninna had not yet covered
Hite's former bet in a material way
How could he cover it? He already
had lost every tangible thing he pos
sessed everything but the real stake,
the stake for which Hite was playing
and the others watching.
"Me bet five hundred dollar on top
your bet. Bring silver tomorrow if
me lose" the chief said with appar-
ent assurance that his word would be
accepted.
MAKE the Injun put up or quit the
game" burly looking spectator
growled. "There amt $500 worth of
silver on all the bucks and squaws in
the tribe"
Hoskaninna reached for his knife,
which he still owned, but he did not
draw it. Instead he said, coldly:
"Hosteen (Hite's Indian name) knows
me pay"
eyes, you'll pay-if you've got it,
Hite answered, but his manner was
not altogether assuring.
"Well, wouldn't want to bet GOOD
money agin an Injun's PROMISE" the
spectator said. "He's got that belt
up for $50 and l wouldn't give SO
for it. He don't know the value of
silver"
But Hite accepted the chiefs pro-
mise and placed $500 in gold coin on
the table against it. 'You haven't
called, Chief" he said, "and Pm go
ing to put thousand more on this
hand and call you. l figure your hor-
SEES and sheep ought to be worth that
much. I'm willing to put up every
thing I've won from you tonight a.

you win you take everything. If
you lose you show me the mine III
AXE your word for it in the presence
If these men. Well show up our
lands and call the game off for to-

Hoskaninna did not answer. To the
prospectors the intense mo-
nent had come. Every eye turned ,
pom the Navajo chief, Hoskaninna
ad never seen four jacks beaten. He
yould rather have wagered his four
auaws-his mah-loo-k ahs- than the
eso-la-ki. But he would risk
is life on four jacks. Hoska-
lima spoke and when the words came
hey were as cold as when he bet

"If me lose, me show Hosteen mine"
Hoskaninna lost. Hite spread out
