fill Tffli i 1600 SOULS PERISHED WHEN THE TITANIC SUNK WITH BAND PLAYING "NEARER Mf GOD TO THEE." DEEDS OF HEROISI Displayed by the Men .and Women. Women and Children First, RigMiy Enforced. Greatest Disaster of ttte Age. The arrival of the steamer C&rix thia which rescued a number of the passengers from the Titanic increas ed, instead of decreasing, the number of those who lost their lives as a re sult of the sinking of the Titanic. A total of 1,595 people went down with the ship and six of those rescued died as a result of the exposure. The wire less operator of the Titanic, one of the heroes, died after being rescued. Many women refused to leave their husbands among the number being Mrs. Isadore Strauss. John Jacob As ' tor, the multi-millionaire, died like a hero and gave up his seat in a life boat to a woman, and went down with the ship. >Major Archie Butte, of Au gusta, the President's Military aide, went down with {he ship and was one that afded in keeping the ttren ttoiri the lifeboats. The sea rule of women and children first, in case of accidents was rigidly enforced and not a man \Vas allowed on the lifebbats until all the women and children were safe. The band on the Titanic was heard flaying "Nearer My God to Thee" a* the big ship went to the bottom. The heroism and bravery displayed -/ by the crew, the men and women on the ship was most remarkably there seems to have been no panfc ffnrf the men, in most cases, Were kept irorm the lifeboats with very little troutffe. The following is the account, in de tail, given by the daily papers. N?w Tort, April ISf.?Bearing the 800 survivors?mostly women and children?of the sunke? liner Titanic, j the steamship Cir^alhia of (be fcfti?-] ard line, reached her dock here at $1 > o'clock Thursday night I A great crowd was gathered at the Cufcard pier as the Catpathia atrivfed, but was kept back by at titfong forc? of policemen. No one was allowed on the ship except close friends and rela tives of the survivors. With the arrival of the Carpathia It was possible for the to learn, for the first time, the story of the final horron on the decks 6? the Ti tanic after she crushed into the ice berg and began to sink. According to the iriifvfvbrs, the Ti tanic was almost torn to pieces by vthe impact and at once began to Ket tle by the head. The lifeboats *ere nidinfed and were loaded with womeri and children. Fsom the very first the cry was "save the women and chilflr&n." The lifeboats fcut off hastily and they had not gone far before the Ti tanic went down, carrying with hef over 1,300 men, who had remained for certain death in order that the tiro men and children might fescape. Overcome by ftorror of Scene Necessarily the accounts Of the sur vivors last night were meager, as scores of them were ill, having been overcome by th? horror Of the sinking bt the ship and by the sufferings en dured before being picked up by the v>m |iaiuia. It was bitter cold when the life boats left the sinking Titanic and the survivors were almbst frozen when picked up hours later bf the Carpa thian Although the tftti-vlvort &4r {he "ti tanic go down,many of them ere still hopeful when they reached New York that loved ones on tbe ship had in some way managed to he saved. In all the world thfere "** no more I* miserable human beings than those that landed from the Carpatbla. They tore alive, but they had seen their loved ones plunge to death be neath the icy waters of the north At lantic. Heads Bared !fi ?r*se>& bf tN>e Although an immense throng had gathered at the pier oild irks kfcpt back by the stringent jSollcS feguid tlons, there was almost the silence of the grave as the survivors of the rit iniMkni HmkH greaiem sea ua&guj ui iuvuv.u began to land from the Cirpathla.i'hfe only sounds were the occasional gobs uttered by the women survivors as they came down from the Bhip lean ing on friends of relative!. As the survivors passed the men in the great crowd of spectators bar red their heads and there was hardly a dry eye. , Astor and Other Notables Gone Colonel John Jacob Astor, Isador Strauss,Benjamin Guggenheim,George D. Widener,Major Arichbald Butt,mil itary aide to President Taft; kenry B. Harris, the theatrical manager, and Charles M. Hays, president df the Grand Trunk Railway were all lost E. Z. Taylor of Philadelphia, one of the survivors jumped into the sea just three minutes before the boat sank. He told a graphic story as he came from the Carnathla. "I waa eatink when the boat itruck the iceberg," he said. "There wag an awful shock that made the boat tremble from stem to stern. I did not realize for some time what had happened. No one seemed to know the extent of the accident We were told that an Iceberg had been struck by the ship. I felt the boat rise and it seemed to me that she feas riding dver.the Ice. I ran otlt 6n deck and there t con Id sfee lfcfc. It . was a veritable aba of lie afed the boat was rocking over it, I should say that parts of the iceberg were eighty feet high, but It had been broken into sections probably by our sbip. "I jumped into the ocean and was picked dp by one of the boats. I never expected to see land again. I waited on board the boat until the light went out. It seemed to me that the discipline on board was wonderful." Col. Archibald Oracle, U. S. A., the last man saved, went down with tbe /esBel but was piciea up. xie wa? j m?t latft Algfet by his daughter, $hot ha'd Arrived from Washington Unit his son-in-law, Paul H. Fabrlcus. Col. Gracie told a remarkable story ot peftonaf hardship and denied em phitlcall'y the reports that there had been any panic on board. He praised ;Q the highest terms the behavior of both the passengers and crew and paid a high tribute to the heroism of the women passengers. Remained to Die With Husband "Mrs. Isador Strauss" he said,"went co her death because s&e Would hot teatert i&r tfti'sband. Although he pleaded with her t6 tai'e hir pl&e in the boat she steadfastly refused :ind when the ship settled at the head the two were engulfed In the wave that swept her." Col. Oracle told of how he was driv en to the topmost deck when the ship settled and was the sole survivor after the wave that swept her just before her final plunge had passed. "I jumped with the wave," said he, "just & I often havi jumped With the breakers' at seashore. By great good fortune I managed to grasp the brass rrflftrig on tie diet above, and I hung on by might and main. Vhen the itiip plunged doiftt I was forced to let go and I was swirled around and around for What seemed to be an Interminable time, eventually I came to the surface, to Ind the sea a mass of tangled wreck "L&Kitf I was unhurt and catftng about managed to seise a wooden grating floating neai-by.

"When dawn broke {here were 'hirty of us on the raft standing knee ieep in the icy water and afraid to aove lest the craft be overturned, '.everal unfortunates, benumbed and lalf dead, besought UH to skv4 them ;nd orrfe 6'r two an effort to reach tis, fati we had to wfcra them iwa?.

Baldness is Too Generally Considered a Stgn of Advanced Age. A bald-headed person does not have an equal chance -with one blessed with a healthy head of hair, because baldness is too generally accepted as an indication of age. Many large corporations haveestab lished an age limit, and refuse to take men jver 35 years of age as new employees. Probably 65 per cent, of bald-headed people may regain a good head of healthy hair if they will follow our advice and ac cept our offer. We have a remedy that we positively guarantee to grow hair on any bead, unless the roots of the hair are en tirely dead, their follicles closed, and the scalp has become glazed and shiny. We want people to try this remedy at our risk, with the distinct understanding that unless it does exactly what we claim it will, and gives satisfaction in every re spect, we shall make no charge for the remedy used during the trial. * We know exactly what we are talking about, and with this offer back of our statements no one should scoff, doubt our word, or hesitate to put our remedy to an actual test. We-want every one in Abbeville who is from nnv scaln or hair tronble. dandruff, falling hair, or baldness to try our Rexall "93" Hair Tonic. We want th'-m to use it regularly?say until three bottles have been used?and if it does not eradicate dandruff, cleanse and refresh the scalp, tighten the hair in its roots, and grow new hair, we will return every cent paid us for the remedy for the mere ask ing. There is no formality expected, and we exact no obligation from the user whatever. We are established right here in Abbe ville, and make this offer with a full under standing that our business success entire ly depends upon the sort of treatment we accord to our customers, and we would not dare make the above offer unless we were positively certain that we could substan tiate it in every particular.'
