WANDERS INTO A FOREST
AND DIES FROM EXPOSURE

Searchers Unable to Find Benjamin
Spencer. Who Escaped From
Wrecked Sloop.
TACOMA, March ia dispatch
from Ketchikan says that Benjamin
Spencer, who was one of the crew of
three of sloop recently wrecked on
the coast of Gravina Island. has not
been found. 1t is considered certain
that after reaching land in dazed
condition he wandered away into the
forest and died from exposure. He
was seen by several men who found
the bodies of his companions. but he
raced away into the woods. The search
for him was continued several days
and resulted only in finding his cloth
ing half mile from the shore. Spencer
was undoubtedly crazed by the danger
through which he passed or by reason
of injuries sustained in being violently
cast upon the rocks.

r. H. Sontag Bound Over.

Mr.. R. b. 'Sontag, of Denmark, came
before Commissioner Robert Lide this
morning charged with violating section
$3.50 of the Revised Statutes of the United
States, it being alleged that he had enter
ed into conspiracy to defraud, through
the mails. Mr. Sontag was represented
by Messrs. Jno. R. Bellinger, of Bamberg,
and R. G. Hardwick, of Denmark, and the
prosecution by Mr.. E. T. LaFitte, also Of
Bamberg. After hearing full discussion
of the case Commissioner Lide bound
over the accused to appear before the
United States Court. He was admitted
to bail which was promptly furnished.
It seems, to state the contention briefly,
it is alleged that Sontag entered into a
conspiracy through the mails with clerk
of a Virginia tobacco house to furnish the
South Carolina party with tobacco tags
which were to be sold to parties who
wished to purchase them to obtain prem
iums offered by the company. It is
charged that the tags were stolen in Vir.
ginia and then shipped to Denmark to be
sold from that point. 1t is also alleged
that large sum of money was realized
from their sale and that the tobacco com.
pany was thereby defrauded.
Mr.George S. Fitzwater, resident super.
intendent of the Baldwin Detective
Agency, Savannah, Ga, worked up the
case and caused the arrest of Sontag. Mr.
E. T. LaFitte, of Bamberg, was employed
by the Virginia company to prosecute the
case. The hearing occupied several hours
this morning with the decision to refer
the whole matter to the United States
Court as the final result-Orangeburg

cd by which ones height may be materi-

claims are backed up by actual expert
ments carried on among students at the
university. The method is termed car
tilage extension" The process is conduct
ed BY applying mechanical force to the

Death of DR.. B. E. Brabham.

The following taken from the Colum.
bia State of Tuesday will be OF interest to
Bamberg people who remember Rev. NJ.
NJ. Brabham, at one time resident OF
this town. It is with regret that the death
of this young man, DR.. R. E. Brabham is
chronicled.
"The funeral of Dr.. R. Edward Brab-
ham, whose death occurred at Ninety.Six
on Sunday evening at $50 o'clock, was
held at the Methodist church there yester-
"Dr. Brabham was at the home of his
wife's father, Mr.. James Hill, when the
end came. He had been resident of Co.
lumbia for about two years, having been
engaged as pharmacist in the drug store
of DR.. E. G. McGregor except for the time
spent in completing his last year at col
lege. Less than two months ago, he de.
veloped an aneurism of one Of the large
arteries near the heart and was taken to
Ninety. Six, his former home and the home
of his wife. Here he declined gradually
but steadily until the end.
'One of the saddest features OF his death
is that he leaves young widow to whom
he had been married but eight months to
the day of his funeral. She was Miss
Tudie Hill, a daughter of Mr.. James Hill,
of Ninety-Six.
"Dr. Brabham was 81 years of age. BE
was son of the Rev. NJ. N. Brabham OF
the Methodist conference, who now re.
sides at Leesville. Just one year ago last
May he graduated with distinction from
the Charleston College of Pharmacy and
was valedictorian of his class. He was a
young man of splendid character and an
attractive personality"

STRANGE JAPANESE BELIEF.

Woman TypiAes the Earth and Man
the SKY, Says a kentuckian.
Man Is the sky; woman Is the
earth" Thus John P. Starks Of Louis
vile, Ky, recently expressed one
strange belief Of the japanese. He
and his wife q few days ago returned
from tour Of the globe, says a Louis
vile special despatch to the Cincinnati
Enquirer. Mr. starks used this obser-
vation, made by the Japs. Mr.. Starks
ts one Of the most prominent business
men Of Louisville he said:
"Ninety-6ve per cent Of the Japanese
belong to the peasant class. The poor
exist on 2 or 3 cents Of our money per
day. Their diet Is rice and dried fish.
The Buddhists are vegetarians. The
japanese seem happy and contented.
Hometke conditions do not exist as
here. Women are regarded as mans
equal. The Japanese are supersh-
t1ous. They are religious because they
think It promotes business. The Japa-
nese people are not Christianized
They are theoretically Buddhists and
Ghintmsts. Ehintoism is ancestor wor-
ship and worship Of patriotism. The
Japanese are the greatest skepttcs on
earth today. They do not trust each
other.
"As q nation the Japanese are max
ing wonderful strides. Officially they
are honest. As soldiers they are the
greatest on earth. An American ad-
miral whom I met told me, Man tor
man, they are the greatest soldiers ON
earth
IAN japanese are fatalsts. They do
not fear death. They are patriotic to
4 degree that b fanatical A dead
soldier ehcts an their praise. A battle
scared veteran does not arouse them
hey honor the dead; the living, to
them, are a mere circumstance The
nation is everything; the Individual ts
nothing.
Japanese are not to be trusted when
Il comes to a close proposition For
instance. In Yokobama, where we spent
q greet deal Of time, there the Chinese
are tellers In banks. The Chinese are
the best artisans, clerks and work
men.
The clothes worn by the japanese,
I should fudge, cost about @ cents.
The japanese, as q race, are bare
footed and bareheaded. / saw them
naked In the deadA'
Mr.. .starks said that he knew the
japanese to be patriotic to the extent
that they would commit suicide Rara'
ktrD before yielding to foe.
