JAIL BREAKING ESCAPE

FALDOSTA, GA, Oct. 26-Two negro
women prisoners, Roberta King and
Claudia Mitchell, dug their way out of
the county jail and by knotting blankets
together swung themselves from the
second story and made their escape.
The women were confined on a charge
of having furnished saws to other pris-
oners, with which they nearly effected
their escape some days ago.
With stove handle the women dug
the mortar from around the brick where
electric wires entered the prison and made
a hole large enough to crawl through.

will do great things in the future
which We would be able to do at the
present time if it were not for this
lack of the necessary knowledge. A
little child is about as perfect example
Of man at the time when the human
race was in its infancy. It has no de-
sires besides a full stomach and a
little comfort and with these things
provided, feels supremely contented.
When he grows bigger his parents
and his community teach him all the
requirements of modern civilization.
Original man, devoid of any knowledge
had nothing to teach his child and n.
after maturity, in consequence had
nothing to impart to his progeny. This
primeval status of man lasted prob
ably during untold numbers of gen.
erations, until the first signs Of
crude sort of civilization we're pre-
ceptible.
Modern man may not like the idea
of being a descendant of a creature

Mans anatomy and his instincts are
still animal and his civilization, which
him nowadays from
mere animal, is only product of evo-

EUGENE CATLIN WINS
SPELLING CONTEST

The spelling contest at the high
school building was won by Eugene
Catlin, pupil in the sixth grade of
the city school. Eugene certainly was
a speller as he stood on the floor over
three hours before winning the con
test.
The pupils of the fifth to the eighth
grade inclusive, We're eligible to enter
and at the beginning of the contest
there were about sixty spoilers on the
floor, but one by one they were forced
to sit down until only four remained
and it began to look like they would
never miss but finally all were down
except Eugene and he was announced
to be the winner of the handsome gold
medal which was presented to him by
Superintendent Masterson.
There was large crowd out to see
the contest and it was frequently inter-
rupted by burs,S Of applause as some
speller managed word which was
almost too much for him.
The contest was ruled in quiet
orderly manner and it could be seen
that the teachers were trying to keep
all bitter feeling out of the match.
