JAIL BREAKING IN BAKER
Jesse Hudgins Helped Others to Es-
cape, But Refused to Go to
Freedom With Them.

NEWTON, Ga.-Much excitement
prevailed here Thursday about noon,
when it was discovered the prisoners
were escaping from the Baker coun-
ty Jail. While Mr.. A. J. Passmore
was passing the jail on his way to
dinner his attention was attracted by
suspicious actions Of two white bows
just outside the fence at the rear
end of the Jail yard. While he was
questioning these boys a negro
craWIed out from under the Jail
fence, and Mr. PassmOre immediate
ly gave the alarm. The white bows
ran away, and two negroes, who had
also escaped from the Jail but had
not succeeded in escaping from the
jail enclosure, returned to the Jail.
A posse of citizens pursued the
white prisoners, soon recaptured
them and returned them to Jail.
After the prisoners were securely
licked in again and the excitement
mad somewhat subsidized one of the
prisoners, Ed Jones, a negro under
sentence to be hanged for murder
gave an account to the sheriff as tn
now the escape was made Some

OF the conditions in one portion of
the great famine district.
To a correspondent Miss Board
man of the American Red Cross
stated:
The plague IS erecting south
ward towards this famine district.
1t has raVaged Mancnuria, and thou
sands Of refugees who have fled TO
Cheefoo, in Changtung province,
nave carried it there Hundreds Of
deaths occur daily. The frozen
ground prevents the burial of the
dead, and long rows of collins lie
on the roadside. American Con mi
General Wilder, at Shanghai, cable6
to the Red Cross that people strick-
en- with this plague die within a few
hours, and that it is so fatal a ma
ture no one ever RECEIVERS. The peo-
pie have at last consented to crema-
ton, and several thousand of these
bodies have been burned"
President Taft, as president of The
American Red Cross, has sent out
an urgent appeal to our people to
aid China, which is suffering from
these dual calamities. COntribr-
tions of money can be sent to the
American Red Cross, Washington.
D. G. - o '>''''
If the people of America desire
to help these sufferers in China they
must act Immediately. The Red
cross makes all rem,ttances to CHI
ma by cable. through the state de-
partment, thus insuring safe pas
sage of funds from the giver to the
beneficiary and the speedy applica-
ton of such funds where they will
do the most good.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1911-03-01

Recent advices from China indi-
cate that conditions in the famine
districts are as bad as have been
rumored, and are growing worse as
days go by. Two and half million
Chinese will die for the want of
bread if assistance is not rendered
Immediately This number compris-
es nearly the entire population Of
the northern part of the provinces
of Kiang-Su and Anhui.
The famine in China is the direct
result of the great floods which in
undated the provinces mentioned
last summer, running the crops. Con-
sequently there was no harvest, and
the supply of food on hand was not
sufficient to sustain the people OF
these sections until the next harvest.
In fact, unless prompt aid is rem
dered there will not be a next har-
vest. as the Chinese will eat the
seed instead Of planting them. Dur
ing the first days of the famine
mothers endeavored to sell their ba-
bies to provide food for themselves
and save the children from starva-
ton. Now they are trying to give
the children away in the hope that
those to whom the babies are given
will be able to feed them. Along
the banks Of the Grand Canal the
victims Of this terrible calamity are
living in mud and water, with only
shacks Of mating over their heads,
hoping against hope that they may
exist until boats bearing the staff of
life come up the canal to relieve
them.
