PRISONER GOT AWAY.
After Being Brought from Newberry,
Jumped from Buggy and Escaped.
for 1909.

Charles Robinson, colored, who was
convicted In Justice Henderson s
court at Newberry upon a charge OF
vagrancy and Was sentenced to four
months In prison, made a successful
escape by jumping from buggy after
he was brought to Gainesville Thurs
daIp night.
Inasmuch as the offense was a petty
one, the officer having the negro IN
charge did not hand-cuft him. He be-
haved nicely until near the Jail In
this city, when he suddenly jumped
from the buggy and disappeared in
the dark, since which time he has
not been seen.
The officer fired one time nj him
with the hope that he would be
frightened and stop, but this gave
him all the more energy In his lower
limbs-and for all We know he may

PLEA FOR SELF-RELlANCE.
G. Dawes Good Advice "a
Young Men In Business.

This is hard world in business. It
always has been and always will be.
There are many good and generous
men in it. There are many who will
lend a helping hand to you in your ad.
versity, but In the time Of need you
will not find them among the men
who tried to get you to embark in
speculation with your little surplus,
and to sell you something which
would help you to easy money" Be
self-reliant. Make your own investi-
cation into investments. When you
cannot, put your money in good
savings bank. Distrust the financial
demagogues as you distrust the po-
litical demagogue. Keep your hand
on your pocketbook as you travel life
first, to give always in proportion
to your means to those who are poor
er; second, to hold from those who
would take through force or fraud
what you need for yourself and yours.
You will then, writes Mr.. Dawes in
the Saturday Evening Post, have your
hama whore most Of the other fellows
have only their eyes. In this alone
yon will have the advantage of them.
