Catoe, 36 year old Kershaw I negro, arrested In Washington several I days ago, and who has confessed the | murder of ten women, is being ques-j Moned by police from various parts of j the natiou, who believe he la respon-j Hlble for killings in their respective communities. Washington police have sent photo-1 graphs und finger prints of the prls-l oner to all parts of the nation. They I are also seeking to bring Catoe to an early trial. j Most of Catoe's killings took place in Washington and when the number I started to' mount, the Washington police came in for a scathing attack from congress. A congressional in-1 vestigatlon of the Washington police I resulted in a Bhake up and reorganiza-1 tion. t Catoe was arrested by New York! detectives who were looking for thel slayer of Mrs. Evelyn D. Anderson | who was raped and killed In thel Bronx on August 4. Catoe stole a 1 watch from the dead wonftin and r pawned it. That act proved his undoing as he was traced by the New I York detectives and taken prisoner. I Catoe is in Washington and the! authorities of that city are going to try him for the killing of Jessie Elisabeth Strleff, pretty young government clerk who was assaulted and! strangled on a rainy afternoon last I June. Catoe has admitted that it was j he who perpetrated the crime. The Strieff case was chosen in pre-J ference to some thirteen others on I which Catoe could be brought to trial, I seven of them Involving criminal as-1 sault and murder, four criminal as-1 sault and the remainder attempted! criminal assault. i . Of Catoe's vcitims, three, Missj Strieff, Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Kosel Abramowltz, 28-year old -bride, werel white women. The others so far as ls | known were Negroes, and most oil them were proprietors of rooming 1 houses. These crimes, police said,1 followed a pattern. I Catoe would respond to a news-1 paper advertisement of a "vacancies I sign in the window, and ask to be I shown all the vacant rooms in thel house. In that way he determined whether there were others on the premises at the time. While seven sex-killings have beenl definitely fixed on Catoe, police saldl he had admitted that he killed "at I least" ten women, and that therel might have been more. The other vlo-j tims have not been Identified. Among the cities asking for in-| formation that might link Catoe to I their unsolved sex crimes was Lynn, I Mass. which asked the Negro be ques-j tloned about the killing of a girl there on July 18. Garden City, L. I. informed officials that two detectives were enroute to J Washington to interrogate Catoe a-| bout the killing of a patrolman there j last year. I From the township of Hamilton, I Trenton, N. J., Captain James Keegran was dispatched tp ascertain any possible connection between Catoe I and three assault murders there in 1938, 1939 and 1940. . . | Chief Inspector Louis F. Costutna, I of New York City asked that Catoe be questioned about the fatal Strang-1 ling 6f Helen Foster on February 5, 1940. C | Merchants Approve Movies On Sunday (Continued from first page) i night. UnjJer the law the girl clerks must be out of the store at that hour. | A committee was named to arrange I for a market for long staple cotton j in Camden. This committee will con-| fer with several brokers and there is every assurance that the plan will go I through successfully at 'once. The merchants expressed a desire I to cooperate in every way in the plans for the housing of visitors, re-J creation for soldiers and other requisites in connection with the war I games. Home owners who have rooms available for rental purposes are urged to register them with the Chamber I of Commerce at once. Various group chairmen were nam-J ed in an effort to contact all members and bring the membership records to date. - | COMMENTS ON MEN AND TMtNOE (By Spectator) Thia good Stat? of oura la too politically-minded for it* highest good With ua politics ia a game; it ta a sport which w? can enjoy and revel to for months. It ia something to talk about. Every mau I've seen lately has asked; "Well, what about the Senate race?" Very few have talked about crops, or crop priceB, or rain; auch matters are of amall concern in comparison with the overshadowing political campaign. We have in South Carolina campaigns of personalities instead of campaigns of iaauee. We Hike the wise-cracks, the jockeying about, the manipulations- -and all that. These thiiius absprb ua, instead of statesmanlike thinking. I do not ask for constructive measures; Just now our State needs intelligent curtailment, which is more like reconstruction.What we need is U simplification of government, but tJiaTls not all; we need a simplification of our colleges and other institutions; we need a simplification of our welfare, though elimination I regard as the best means to employ. What is the matter with us? We have everything that, ^lorida has and much more. And we are within twenty-four hours of such centers as New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. We have Bome foolish practices standing in the way; and we have almost gambled away our opportunities. We have Joined In the hue and cry against wealth. Of course, some men have undeserved ease and luxury, but it would be better that they make milIons if all of us. should thereby And the doors of opportunity open. The Federal favors don't impress me. True it may be that we are not of the sturdy stuff of our fathers and mothers; soft and earfy-living we are, perhaps, but neither a man nor a country can grow like the oak unless through the buffeting Which the oak suryives, strong because of its battle with the elements. A civilization is not made by the toys of fancy, but by the struggles and vicissitudes of unhampered existence. This Btate emerged from the destruction of war and the desolation of Radical misrule. With great energy, courage and fortitude our people worked in hardship and poverty, trusting to the Almighty. They bequeathed a State to us In trust. Our forefathers braved the hazardous trip across the Atlantic in small vessels; they fought the Indians, cleared the forests, stumped the fields, set up a social order; won our inde-j pendence, made a nation, went to war for their rights in 1861; faced the indignities of Reconstruction; redeemed and purged the State of carpetbaggers; and rebuilt the South. What are we doing? Begging grants from the Federal Government! We can sit still and let the world go by; or we march with the.ady.anC--. ing army. If we would Bee our State as a land of opportunity?and work to keep it so?we should create conditions favorable to free enterprise, favorable to new Industry and to the unimpeded operation and encouragement of those we now have. Let us prepare for the future! Sometimes I find a lot of information in the annual reports of State officers. I have before me the 1940 Year Book of Commissioner J. Roy Jones and have read parts of it with much stimulation. Here are some items of interest; We produced minerals to the value of |4,000,000 in 1938; we produced some gold within that general total, the gold (1938) being valued at $408,836. Production of gold for 1939 was probably more. From our stone quarries we took more than $2,000,000. Mr. Jones remarks I that while Ohio and Mississippi buy granite from us, we often buy granite from North Carolina and Vermont. Kaolin (Whit* C.iay) w?u> sold to the amount of *866,177. We sold sand and gravel amounting to- $805,28*. Our Kaolin, says Mr- Jones, is being used in the ' manufacture of rubber products, electrical porcelain, etc. Limestone and marl are abundant. "A large deposit of massive topaz .has been discovered in the Brewer gold mine in Chesterfield County." < ' Spectator went to Jolly Street and saw Hon. Cole L/Blease on his native heath, greeting and exchanging words with his old friends and neighbors, many of whom have -supported him during his fifty years In public life. Jolly Street Is Just neighborhood, a community built around Its school. It is in Newberry County,-of course, near Prosperity. For seventy-five years, so I'm told, this annual rally has been not only a feature of Newberry County's citizens, but it baa had state-wide importance. At the meeting on August 22nd. there we're several speakers from private life, but the two announced, candidates for Oovernor*were therC. as well as th* candidates for the United Btateo Benate. Governor Blouse presided, and *p6ke to his people words of wisdom In the earaeotnas* of hie deep anxiety about some of th* trends of th# day. t DeWneT to l^T Wome attentively. He la no wise-cracker; he Is Intensely serious. Having enjoyed many honors he looks over the State with good feeling for all and with solicitude for the welfare of the State he loves. Among the recommendations to his fellow citizens Mr. Urease urged that the people renew and deepen their devotion to Christianity; thut they maintaiu our Jury system at whatever cost; and that they preserve White supremacy. Except when such a free lance as Mr. IMoaae upeaks we hear very little about White supremacy. All of us know that our own Democratic Party either betrayed the White people of the South or deceived the negroes In either case our National Democratic Party has sold us down the river, us people say. We have some of our own people cheek-by-Jowl with the National leadership and inclined to sw&ltow anything In order to appear regular. . Iu nothing are we so supine and Ineffective as in our public affairs. Every man of us knows that no Federal grants, no W. P. A., no Santee-Cooper, no N. Y, A., no P. W. A.? nothing which has come through this Democratic Administration, can atono for the mischief It has started throughout the South in the race matter; and we know that however the politicians may gloss over the Democratic breach of -faith with us the people of this State will not honor the bargain which dishonors the memory of their father?that Is speaking for the manhood that Is not tainted with ambition so ardent as to subordinate every consideration to personal alms. Mr. Please does well to remind us. The Germans are the most planstaking, the most thorough people In the world. That is something for us to keep constantly In mind. It Is not because we need feel Inferior; but because we should use our brains in preparing to challenge German domination of the world. We have ? d?Bh und Initiative that are superior to~ the Gsnnajpris careful* plodding study, hut dash and vim should not be thrown against tanks. Nor should our boys be sent with bayonets to fight against high explosive artillery. If America had the time, her soldiers could push the Germans out of Europe, man for man; but this Is no man to man fight. No one could fight more gloriously than did the heroic Greeks. Matched against Italians, the Greeks fought as became the immortal sons of Hellas of the classical age; but when the Germans came with tanks and planes like the sands of the sea, the personal bravery of #*e Greeks could not match all the manifold enginery of destruction the Huns had prepared. We have had time to learn a lseson, but the leadership of the nation is playing politics instead of grasping essentials. No one can understand the lack of definite, decisive action to get ready?Speechee don't?solve-the problem; smart fanciful strategy won't do It; we must see clearly what our course is and steer our ship of State resolutely by the prescribed course. Our .people don't know what its all about?no; nor does anybody know. Mr. 'Churchill virtually says that England will support us against Japan; Indeed! I thought we were supporting England against Japan! By what consideration of strategy we have posted little garrlsonfe all over -the woi^d-l Tlon*t~lcnoWT why we are playing at warfare In all the seven seas I don't know. It is a small wonder that the people are apathetic; they see nothing but what seems to be a game going on. Let us have something clear and soundly conceived as an appeal to the people.- ^ WHITE BREAD PLU8 VITAMINS Americans are white bread eaters. They devour white flour and are apt to turn a disinterested ey? on brown. It may be the taste and It niay be the color. Whatever the reason, they specify white most of the time when thoy buy a loaf at the grocery store or order noon aandwiches. Sometime ago the intlllnK and baking Industries undertook a nationwide campaign dc; signed to Increaae whole wltiutt Bread consumption, but sale Of this product never exceeded two per cent of the total. Then the medical fraternity entered the picture. It waa known that malnutrition ami diet deficiency existed oven in well-to-do homes, with handsomely stocked larders. The scientists went to work to find out why. Their discovery amounted to this: Many palatable foodB are sadly deficient In those vitamins which are essential to robust health. And white j bread was one of them. In the process of refining, the flour lost many' of its health attributes. There was, for instauce, a deficiency of thiamin, which leads to impairment of nervous, digestive and circulatory systems. There was deficiency of nicotine acid, which is closely related to pallagra. There was a deficiency of riboflavin, which results in a stunting of growth, lowering of vitality, premature ageing, and nervous disorders. So in 1938, with the facts known, the American Medical Association went on record to the effect that in the processing of foods the goal should be to retain the natural food value? and that if this is not feasible, the processed food should be scientifically enriched to restore the losses. It 1b to the credit of the millers and bakers that they cooperated fully. So today they are planning to give the white bread most of us enjoy so much, the vitamins we need. Furthermore?and this will be of partl^lar. interest to the lady of the house?enriched flour kbd 'bfread, when included lb proper diets, are no more fattening than unenriched varieties. The medical fraternity has again done a big Job for the health of all the people, and particularly to the white-bread consumers of America? a classlfcation which includes the bulk of the population.?Industrial News Review.

ROUGH GINNED COTTON COSTS FARMERS MONEY Each year South Carolina farmers lotyo hundreds of thousands of dollars On account of rough ginned cotton, says County Agent W. C. MoCaiiey in explaining that for the seven-year period 1933-39 the state had approximately 16 percent of 1 tn total cotton crop classified us rough-ginned. These statistics were obtained from the bureau of agricultural economics, United States department of agriculture. With the forecast of a light cotton crop for South Carolina this year, and with cotton prices relatively good, it is important that farmers take ovory possible precaution to have their cotton In flrst-class condition before It is ginned. This means that the cotton should not be picked Uutll it is thor oughly opened and dry and kept dry , until the time of ginning. 'Cotton gtnuers also nave a big responsibility ,in producing smooth samples of cotton which will com mand premium prices. Ginning machinery should be in good repair and operated properly, which means feeding the cotton to the gin in such a manner as to give a loose seed roll. Cotton buyers likewise have a responsibility in reducing the percentage of rough-ginned cotton by buying cotton on a quality basis, giving premiums for a good preparation, and penalising cotton of a poor preparation. The American people now see Colonel Chtts. A. Lindbergh as he really Is. stripped of the aura and the gorgeous trappings with which they invested him, following his epochal flight.- Colonel Lindbergh, despite critics who say he is not tops as a pilot is probably one of the world's best in his sphere. It was his misfortune to have his exploit overemphasised, add all of the adulation and lionising went to his head, and It's safe to gay it would have affected 99.5 par cent of our population just about the same way. The mistake was In making a demigod out of a young man who merely had the good luck to get the jump on his competitors, and was probably not a whit the superior of any. of them. If the American people today were to decide to make Joe D1 Maggio, the American League baseball sensation, another Lindbergh, there would be just about as much sense to it?Chester Reporter.
