There never was a war character
lied by such monumental blunders
and ignorance as the present South
African war shows upon the British
side. The first blunder was going in
to kind of war that they are having
without adequate preparation. OF
course, if they we're ignorant of the
resources of the Transvaal, they
are not to be blamed for defending
the outward boundaries of their
territory. But if they were ignorant
of the of the Beers, they
made capital blunder No. l in being
ignorant. They had free access to
the T~ransvaal, they had every OPP
nortunity to ascertain just what re-
sources the Beers would have in
case of war, and if they did not I'M
der these circumstance, inform
themselves of the conditions that
would confront them if they actu-
ally had war, their course was silly
and childish enough to call for pity.

Superintendent Day to the fact
yesterday that there is a thirty
year escaped convict residing in

fies the people and any effort to

The convict in question, w. H.

of the late John Bonner, the Au-
rora banker, who was killed for
his money. Brantley vas connect
ed with the three Bell boys and
sentenced to thirty years in the
penitentiary. He made his escape
from one of the eastern farms last
May, and has been residing at the
scene of the crime in Beaufort
county since.
Captain Day informed Mr..
Thompson that he would clothe
him with full power to effect the
capture of the ~desperado.
Mr.. Thompson stated that
Brantley was seer every few days,
and that he did not hesitate to
walk the public roads. He said
Brantley always carried a gun
and he declared he would never
be captured.
One Of the Bell boys, who re.
ceiyed a similar sentence to that
of Brantley, escaped from the
prison several years ego. and is
living in Germany. Another broth
| er died, and the third is serving a
ffteen-year tern in the peniten~
tiary.
