ties in capturing escaped conyicts
and receive rewards for the return
of the unhappy deserters. More of
ten, however, the head hunters kill
the fugitives and return only the
head, receiving the reward just the
same, the killing adding Zest to the
chase and the return of the head be-
ing the easiest and quickest way of
earning the reward.
Under these conditions there are
few attempts at escape, though many
remarkably hazardous dashes for lib
erty have been made from time to
time, which, though futile, were
most daring. Some time ago the
steamer Fulata picked up poor
emaciated wretch who was sighted
on a small bamboo raft off the Ara
kan coast. He was later found to
be an escaped convict. When picked
up he had been on the raft for 29
days during one of the southwest
mOnsoons and had secured water by
catching the rain and sucking it from
his turban and loin cloth. He lived
upon flying fish that flew aboard the
raft, eating them raw. He was swept
off the raft many times by the waves,
but had managed to cling TO it. At
ter a month in a hospital at Rangoon
he was returned to prison and soli-
taTy confinement.
Another daring attempt at escape
was made by a party of six convicts
who were sent with two native po-
licemen to a small island off the
middle Andaman to work They
to escape from the guards
and, hoisting the sail of the small
boat, started out in a gale After
seven days of heavy weather they
were dashed upon the rocks of the
Tenasserin coast, and the boat was
wrecked. All escaped with their
lives and eventually reached the ST.
amose border, where they were APP
by the loca' authorities
and returned to the prison

WRIGHT CAUGHT AT EUFAULA
TRAGEDY RESULT OF PROSECU-
TTONS IN RANDOLPH COURT.
One Another, and Then One Shot
and Killed the Other.

CUTHBERT, Ga.-The people of
this section are very much gratifed
over the capture of Lum Wright at
Eufaula last Tuesday. The sheriff
went after him next day and brought
him back to stand trial He is ac-
cused of a brutal and cold-blooded
murder on Sunday of last week.
At the last May term of court two
men, Drew and Wright, had each
other up on counter charges and sue
ceeded in getting each other convict
ed. Wright came out of the wran-
gle much the worse, his fine amount
ing to about twice that of Drew's, a
fact that caused him to cherish a
deep hatred against Drew
So things rocked along, both of
them being tenants on Chas. Sealy's
places, until Sunday afternoon, when
Wright drove UP ito the home of a
man named ShelIhOuse, where Drew
and his wife were spending a while,
Mrs. Drew being ShellhOuse's daugh-
ter Wright had his wife and daugh-
ter in the buggy, and all got out
and walked toward the house. On
the outside were ShelIhouse and
Drew. Wright spoke to Shellhouse
and then to Drew, Drew replying to
his salutation that he had quit hav-
ing anything to do with him." In
answer to that Wright drew his pis-
toll and fired at Drew, as he was leav-
ing him to go to the house, four
times, two of the shots taking effect
in the body Drew died in a few
moments
ChaS. Sealy swore out a warrant
for Wright and he was arrested on
Monday afternoon at Eufaula.
1t is claimed that on Saturday
Wright shot and killed a negro with
out much cause inside the Quitman
county line.

A Few Helpful Moments
With the Get There Club
Believe in Yourself.

Did you ever meet one of those
hard luck" guys, Horace, or, rather,
is there a single day goes by that
you don't meet one of them? One
of those chaps, you know. who are
always down in the mouth, always
bemoaning their fate and bewafIing
a something or other that seems to
kepp pushing them under the minute
their heads come to the surface for a
breathing spell?
They smell of failure and they
fairly radiate mediocrity Their
backs are made without spines and
their favorite color is yellow Pass
them by, Horace, on the other side
of the road-unless, of course, you
can play the Good Samaritan and
bring them to realization that their
condition is nine out of ten times
their own fault.
And it is, too! They've lost their
grip. They think failure. They
brood upon failure. They can see
only two footholds on the ladder of
Progress. One is Failure, and the
other is Success. They lose sight
of all the rungs in between. One
Slip, they conclude, brings them to
| the bottom of the ladder with a
grand and glorious bang. They have
never learned that all success lis built
on number of Failures. But, most
of all, they no longer believe in them
selves.
Take that away from chap, Hor-
| ace,-his faith in his ultimate sue
| cess-and you have nothing but a
| hulk of a man left. It's like irving
i to stand on the quicksands of ex-
i pecting to find support on the bot
Il tom when the surface of the water is
i three inches over your head. You
simply can't do it. You're engulfed,
| you re beaten down, you're doomed.
You've lost your sand and you're
/ one OF the Neutrality-suspicious. whose
| worst enemy is his own self
| But there's a difference, Horace
between the chap sure of himself, OF
his own ability and of eventually
coming into his own, and the blatant
self-satisfed, nauseating fmbecile
who has nothing but cock-sureness
with a dot of CUFF and wind behind
it. He, this peacock i'm trousers, ISM
sincerely a believer in himself, but
a believer in his own opinion of him.
self. And therein, believe us, is g
great difference.
