"Bishop Sam" Of Early Branch Dies Manila, June 4?"DiBhop" Sam Brown, gun-totlng Negro evangelist among the head-hunting tribesmen of the Phllllpplnes, is dead. Belated dispatches from the mountain wilds 200 miles north of Manila said Bishop Sam died last week but did not give the cause. He was a strapping, coal-black Early Branch, South Carolina, Negro, 61 years old and had a FU\p\no -wife and six children. Sam Brown came to the Phllllpplnes uh a United States soldier In the Spanslh-Amerlcan war. After the hostlltles he was mustered out at San Francisco. But he returned to the Islands to preach the gospel among the 6,000,000 non-Chrlstlans of the archipelago. He created what he called the NonChrlstlan Tribes Church of the Phllliplnes, elected himself bishop and went forth alone to preach the doctrine of brotherly love among the sutuge and semi-clvlllzed tribes which lbng have nursed grievances against the white Christians. Bishop Sam used a combination of slang and Scripture on hiH prospective converts. He referred to women as "skirts", was adept at cussing when the occasion seemed to require it and took a nip of liquor now and then. "The non-Christian tribes believe they have been gypped by the lowland Christians." Bishop Sam used to tell the whites. "They say the Christians drove them back to the mountains from their old hunting and fishing grounds. Maybe this causes them to go headhunting. "Give the tribesmen land that won't he taken from them. Cllve them Brotherly love and not bullets. Give them understanding, and schools. When this is done the tribesmen will ho peace-loving, good citizens." Bishop Sam spoke Spanish, English and four of the principal Philippine dialects. A year ago he told how he had talked to a girl of the Ilongot tribe about the Iniquity of sending their men out to collect babies' heads or arms as gifts for their brides. "Well." said Bishop Sam, "thl? skirt said to her, she wouldn't send her man out for a head. I told her to spread the word around among the other gals and I'm sure the one? she talked with won't want any head? for wedding gifts."

Although, we were criticise^ ut the time from some quarters we ure Htlll of the same opniou now as wo were thep. The Yorkville Euquirer, a newspaper whose statements of fact is always considered reliable, has this to say about Easterlin and his plan, "The chairman of a legislative committee investigating the activities of the Old Age Pension Association of Kouth Carolina called upon the old people of the state to refrain from contributing any more money to the organization until completion of the investigation. "Representative Harold King of Oconee said the committee, of which he is chairman, felt Justified in making the request. He added that the committee through its Investigators had received considerable information regarding the collection and disposal of large sums of money. "Members of the committee are King, Representative McDow of York, Representative Hubert Yarbopough or Florence, Representative Troy Davis of Anderson and Representative C. H. Gresham of Greenwood. "Officers of the Ola Age Pension Association are F. M. Easterlin of Spartanburg and S. S. Tlner of Spartanburg and M. A. Moseley of Cowpens." There is in existence in this county a chapter of the Old Age Pension Association. Many of the members have contributed to the Easterlin Association In a hope to buy pensions or have their pension fight prosecuted. The News warned against the folly of the plan when Easterlin made his first attempt to ballyhoo the old folk of the county out of their money several months ago. -?Lancaster News. i Ex-German Kaiser Dies In Holland Berlin, June 4?Former Kaiser Wilhelm II of Imperial Germany died today at.his exile eBtate of Doorn In tlie quiet backwash of a new German conquest almost 23 years after he fled from the crumbling failure of his own European war plan. DNB, German official news agency, reported from Amsterdam that the 82year-old, white-beared former emperor died at 11:30 A. M. in a sudden relapse of an illness which brought members of his family to his bedside last week. An intestinal disorder, complicated at the last by a lung emboly, caused his death. Even in death, the "old man of Doorn. is not to return to the land he once ruled. He is to be burled at Doorn next Monday but. on orders of Adolf Hitler, a military funeral with full honors is to be accorded Imperial Germany's last emperor. The German high command has taken full charge of the military phase of the funeral, a token, perhaps that reconciliation between the fuehrer and the former emperor had been complete.

Springs, state selective service director, told- the Junior chamber of commerce today that "we'd better wake up and keep America for Americans before some other nation steps in and takes control." "If I had my way about it," Springs said, "every man who tor any reason strikes in a defense either would go to a detention camp, go back to work or get into the army. He criticized the literacy eligibility rule for service men and said, '"It s unfair discrimination to tajie the best for the army and leave out of it those who haven't been to school. It's unfair to those who do have to go. ' One out of every three who take the army tests are rejected, he said, because of their eyes, teeth or social diseases. Springs praised the churches for what he called the high moral, spiritual tone found in selectees. He predicted that "80,000,000 would be spent during the two months of the army's fall maneuvers in 18 Carolina counties and urged farmers to grow extra supplies of vegetables and live produce for sale and private consumption.
