LOCKETT DID NOT STAY LONG
NOTORIOUS THIEF REMAINED IN CHAIN.
GANG ONLY FOUR DAYS.
Ed LOckett, the Negro Who Robbed Mr..
F. A. Ruggles' Residence, Has Made
His Escape at Amerious.

Ed Lockett, the negro who recently
robbed the residence of Mr.. F. A.
Ruggles of money, guns, jewelry and
other valuables amounting to more
than 5000, and fed to Sumter county,
where he was few days later sent to
the chaingaing for stealing bicycle
at Plains, seems not to have enjoyed
convict life there. The Americus
Times Recorder of Sunday gave the
following account of his escape:
"Tiring of the easy life afforded in
the Sumter county chainganp Ed
Lockett, twelve months prisoner
sent up four days ago, coollY climbed
the fence yesterday morn ing while the
bosses were eating breakfast and went
away fishing, in all probability. De.
string to make a presentable appear
ance while travelling, Lockett took off
whatever irons that might have been
on him, threw away his striped suit,
and donned the clothes he wore when
arrested. The easy manner in which
Lockett got away was the subject of
much merriment at the expense of our
new chaingang system. Lockett was
sent up for year for stealing bicycle,
and is also wanted at Dawson for rob-
hing the residence of citizen there.
Ii he is caught in Terrell county his
chances OF escape may not be SO good
as in Sumter, his late home"

Malice and Superstition.

In the middle ages malice and super
stition found expression in the forma-
ton of wax images of hated persons,
into tie bodies of which long pins were
stuck 1t was confidently believed that
in that way deadly injury would be
done to the person represented. This
belief and practice continued down to
the seventeenth century. The super
stition indeed still holds its place in
the highlands of Scotland, where"
says n we'll Informed writer, within
the last few years a clay model of an
enemy was found in a stream, having
been placed there in the belief that as
the clay washed away so would the
health of the hated one decline"

Spanish Lovemakinu.

In southern Spain the cigarette msn-
ers form almost a class by themselves.
Among them 1t is customary for n girl
who fancies a lad to twist her powder
puff into a pompon for his hat. If he
wears it at the next bull fight it is
considered a match. In some parts Of
northern Spain a pumpkin pie is held
by the peasant girls to be the proper
offering to the object Of their affection.
When a young man receives such
pie his eating it or not signifies his
acceptance or refusal of the offerer's
proposal OF marriage.
