IJrpartmoiit of justice agents an noiincoil Weaver and Myrtle Katon.j charged with cottsplraey in the lire- | inor kidnaping, were captured two miles south ot Allendale, Florida, on a chicken ranch. lv J Connelly, special agent lu charge of the Cincinnati office and now assigned to the Bremer case, led the agents who made the arrest ai 7 a in Sunday. It was Connelly who led the raid in which Fred Marker and Ma Marker w * i, killed at another Florida limeout last January and who picked tip Arthur 11 >oc) Marker in Chicago a -hurt time before. Arthur Marker is serving a life sentence for the Bremer kidnaping. Connelly said Weaver and Myrtle Katun were living as Mr and Mrs. ( tshorne and had adopted a threeyear-old boy under that name. They encountered no difficulty making Unarrest, Connelly said. Connelly and four federal agents took the couple and their "son" to Jacksonville, loaded them on a plane and came to St. Paul via Atlanta, Louisville and Chicago. They arrived here shortly after 5 p. m. today. Five more federal agents met the plane and whisked the prisoners to the federal building. Only a glimpse was caught of the tow-headed youngster, whom Connelly refused to name. The boy appeared more happy ovpr his new pals and the plane trip, howcm r, than he did about what was going to happen to his recently acquired parents. "Mr and Mrs. Osborne adopted the boy somewhere in Florida this year." Connelly said.

THE GOVERNOR WILL BE TO BLAME The Observer has no brief for Ben lawyer, It i>* nut a matter pf personal concern to thin paper whether he continue to function aw chief hlghuuy commissioner or be ousted from mat pom He is not indispensable, other men cuii fin that position as well us he. But it Is a mutter of real concern to tins paper, as to every citizen of the state, that the development of the high ways of litis state shall not be halted because Ben Httwu r is politically objectionable to "Governor Olln D. Johnston, There is nothing in the constitution or laws of Booth Carolina which says nobody shall be retained in office who is not satisfactory to the governor. If charges of wrongdoing in office were made ami proven aguinst Hawyer, then ho should bo legally removed, But the highway commission has as clear a title to office us the governor and it is nowhere provided by law that said body shall discharge its duties according to orders from the governor. If the commission wish to retain Sawyer, It Is clearly within its powers In doing so. Governor Johnston bus made no charges of tnulfeasnnce or misfeasance in office against Mr. Sawyer, Every investigation of the highway department has given it a clean bill of health. In substance, the only charge that Governor Johnston has made against Sawyer is that he has fought him politically. He would be less or mure than human if he had not done that. He has just us much right to light Johnston as Johnston has to light him. It may streughthen the political machine Johnston is building up for himself, despite all his talk against ring rule, to have a chief commissioner subservient to him, but such a change will not advantage the state. As long as Sawyer properly disc barges the duties or his office and has a clear legal title to it, there Is no lesson for all the furore the governor raises about him staying in that office. And the governor is childiph in his repeated insistence that the p.-?,pithy making him governor endorsed his demand for removal of Sawyer. There might have been some color of 'ruth in that claim had he been nominated on the lirst ballot, where all who approved of ills platform voted for him. But, many thousands of those ?n<> voted for him in the second primary approved neither him nor his platform but voted for him solely because tin* alternative to so doing wa acceptance of Cole BI ease, who was personally objectionable to them. But, even had lie been nominated on the first ballot, that would not have given him any power to oust Sawyer nor even have been a denial to the highway commission of legal power to retain Sawyer if it so wished. So, if the highway program is halted or hurt by the retention of Sawyer, the governor and the governor alone must bear all the blame.?Greenville Observer.

" A ftioiid in a northern state who is familiar with condition* in South 1 Curollnu recently wrote the editor of l The Kmjulrer to thin effect! "I cannot nnderHtund why the merchant* in the small town* f^'fcouth I Carolina do ho little advertising! Take | your town for instance and your paper. You are making a really worth* j while newspaper and you should he I c rowded with advertisements by your local merchants. Here we huve a newspaper that is Just ordinary or worse. Stnd yet its pages are llterntly running over with advertisements, and the merchants are glad to advertise in it because they know it pays them to advertise. They are not giving the newspaper unythingT They are getting full value for their money. "Small town merchants in your state would do much more business' if they would advertltft) Jn the local papers more. People go to buy where they are invited to buy and if the. small town merchants?the merchants of your town?don't invite the people in your trading area to buy at their . stores, why, they are naturally going j to the stores that do invite them. "Kvery merchant in York county , would find It to his interest and a paying investment to upe the advertising 1 columns of The Yorkvllle Fnquirer. j Many do find that it pays." The money the merchant spends for j advertising space is not a gift to anybody. It cannot be placed on a basis j of "helping the newspaper." It is just as much of an investment as is the rent that is paid, the insurance thut is carried, the very goods carried on counters and shelves and in ware-; houses. The Ford Motor Company, the Gen-j eral Motors Corporation, the big tobacco companies or the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company do not advertise to help the newspapers. They do it to create customers, to make! more profits. The motor companies are ! spending more money for advertising' than ever before, and it was stated j in Charlotte a few days ago that the ; Ford Motor Company will this year! spend more money for advertising in j the "county papers." Why? Because the Ford Company appreciates the1 fact that the people who read "conn- j try newspapers" have great potential buying power. They are inviting tho business. J Small town merchants will do well j to imitate the lead of the big con-' corns.? Yorkvill*- Fnyuirer. Town's Political Balance Hinges on Silver Price . Castle, Mont.?Residents of this once populous mining town are watching 1 current maneuvers in world sliver markets with keen interest. Rising prices are likely to bring the city to life again, nnd that would " totally disrupt the present political setup. The situation Is a bit peculiar. Rack In the '^Os and '00s. Castle was a booming mining camp. The depres- | sion of and the demonetization of j silver started a decline. But higher silver prices are expected to cause a revival of mining operations and the town may resume some of its former activity. And, as has been said, that would disrupt the political situation. You see. under the peculiar political situation Mayor Joe Mnrtlno and exMayor Joe Klpp each control the same number of votes. So they've reached an agreement. Last year Kipp held the office as mayor, this year it was Mnrtlno's turn, and the next year Kipp Is supposed to take over again, etc. New voters would upset this balance of power. Mayor Mu.rt.mo and ex-Mayor K1di> are the only residents. James K. Joyce, managing editor of the Memphis. Tenn., Press Sctmiter. died suddenly on shipboard #hile on a Carribbean cruise.
