utered April 28, 1908 at Pickans 8 0., as se.Ad cl s aater. under act of Congress of March 8, 1879 VOL XXXV PICKENS, SOUTH CAROLIT, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21 1906 N.43 AN EDITO'S APPEAL. To Brother Publishers In Behalf of the Lost Child of Dr. Byers of Soeleyville, Indiana. If the edli or of every paper in the south, south.west atd central West will republish those lines,Atl'ere Is no, qusliation but what Dr. S. I. 1 4-.r ',f Se ty ville. Iidiaina will ri-cover h is little son who was bto len from his lone one year ago last Mlany. Dr. llyirs has splnt his un tire rcmurces in search for hia child and uniless- tho- big Learte-d mnibrs of tI. press come to bi. assistance his son will grow uplain outltaw and an Outcast alnong the lowest people of the earth. it is a cause that should appeal to every. one and no father reading these lines can do so without a quickna ing of the le-art and a synipthetic throb. It is believed that, if this article Is re'printed in the newspa. pnupers it will form an endless chain that will uncver the lost lGoy's con cealmeit aid return hin to hi.4 dis. tracted parents. In doing thIs the professi-n of journalibm will be fulfilling one of its highest des. tinies. Publishers whose circulations touch the Wabash, Ohio and Mis sissippi valleys are especially re qubsted to reproduce this story of the lost child as Dr. Byers believes his boy is now on some houseboat waiting to take the road in the Spring. There is a reward of 4500, awaiting any information that will lead to the boy's recovery. No questions will be asked sid if the abductor himself wnuld deliver the boy to his parents he would not be molested. The betreaved parents are heart broken with grief and want only their child. If each journal wilf reprint. these lines, they will travel to every exchange table in the United States and bring back to a wrecked home a child who is no doubt suffering with cold, unfed and wretched to a de gree. Think ot what your own feelings would be under similar circumstances I This appeal is in dicted originally by a publisher n who.saw Dr. Byers only once, has no a personul interest in his quest other 8t than the bond of sympathy that b makes the world akin, and is inspir- t ed from the belief that the lost boy n caln only - be found through the b united effort of the country press g of which he is proud to be a mem- a ber. His recovery will be a tri- d umph in advertising and no editor d whose heart is placeud right will re- 1 fuse this appeal. Remiembefr, it dI may be your child next! ~ h The following is a description of a the lost boy: Ib DESCRIPTION. i Richmond Byers, if alive was 6 y rs old last July, is of ligh t complexion, a has gray eyes; left eye noticibly crossed, has a small V shaiped nick_ in the edge of the l-ft ear, has at sharp chin and a narrow projecting forehead.- He is rather small for h is age' and Is unusually bright and in- 1 s telligenat, talking after the mannert of a boy much older.t Dr. Byers has seached among the roving band. that frequent the Uni ted States and believes his son can 'be' found among .traveling -junk dealers, so called horse traders or movers, le don't think the boy was stolen by genuine gypsies. .He, thinks he was taken by a wandering band who uses him for the_ pur pose of begging in the towns along the route. - . f.(Exchanges please copy.) L.ove, the Ruling Passion. 0 c Sages, poets, philosophers in alle ages have bowed before the shInine of- love, whose dominion extends over the world, and whose power is -absolute; no boundary limits her empire sad no enactments can ex clude subjects from her domain. Strange, potent, and mysterious is thia mighty sovereign, and~st her command, kings yield their scep.. ter., and monarci's are nncrownied. When hove speaks, though in gent-. lest whispers, the stornest subject pauses to heed her mandates, and warriors, who stand unbalanced by fear before the tempest of eliot and shell, will tremble In mortal sue pense before the glance of the frail.
