Macon, (la,, Nov, 27.—After 12
lear oi freedom, W. Bonnie Dean, ou
operator of a grocery store in Macon
was behind the bars again Monuaj
night and opposite his name on the
county jail register was the one word;
"Escape.”
Arrest of Dean was announced
Monday by Sheriff’s Deputies Oscar
L. Harris ai d Luther J. Stevens, who
faitl tnat the suspect admitted his
identity and said lie never had tried
to hide it.
During the 12 years of his freedom
Dean resided in Macon and, with his
family, lived the life of a normal
business man.
He was sentenced 14 years ago to
serve from four to 10 years on a
voluntary manslaughter charge, and
had served 18 months when he es
caped, records show.
Dean admitted that he escaped in
Macon in 1922 shortly after he uiul
a state penitentiary guard, who was
transferring him trom the Candler
county chain gang to the Milledge-
viille institution, left a theater at
Macon, He has used his correct
game.

Preston, Ga., Nov. 23.—Webster
county officers Friday sought a solu
tion to the death of Miss Lula G.
hpmpson, oO, a prominent invalid
spinster whose charred body was
found in the ruins of her home, 14
miles from Preston—with $UJ0 in
gold lying nearby.
The theory was held by officers
that Miss Thompson, who lived alone
although an invalid and was reput
edly well-to-do, had been robbed and
then killed. Sheriff T. J. Jordan said
he was holding three r.egroes, but
that no charge had been placed
against them.
The gold was found lying in the
ruins of what apparently had been a
trunk. The robbers were believed b'
officers to have overlooked the trunk
in their search for money Miss
Thompson was said to have had.

R. F. D Notes
Still aboard the ship We shall
soon he in Hamburg where we are to
land. We go to Berlin, and then on
to Warsaw and up to the Russian
border where I shall speak to a mis
sionary convention. I have heard so
many wonderful things about the
Russian and Polish Christians that 1
am eager to see conditions as they
really are.
I am thinking about modern com
forts. Whitfield crossed the Atlantic
ocean thirteeen times. It took him
weeks to get across. Now it ;s pos
sible to travel on ocean liners and to
he as comfortable us one is In tile
best American hotels. How much
safer it is, too! The radio and the
wireless give constant contact with
home.
Why the Sudden
Change to Liquid
Laxatives?
Doctors have always recognized the
value of the laxative whose dose can
he measured, and whose action can
be thus regulated to suit individual
need.
The public, too, is fast returning
to the use of liquid laxatis'es. People
have learned that a properly pre
pared liquid laxative brings a more
natural movement without any dis
comfort at the time, or after.
The dose of a liquid laxative can
he varied to suit the needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. It forms no habit; you
need not take a “double dose” a day
or two later. Nor will a mild liquid
laxative irritate the kidneys.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a
prescription, and is perfectly safe.
Its laxative action is based on senna
a natural laxative. The bowels will
not become dependent on this form
of help. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin
is obtainable at all druggists.

I have just read the 27th chapter
of the Acts of the Apostles. It Is the
story of the shipwreck There were
274 aboard the ship. They had not
eaten for 14 days. Paul, a prisoner,
1 took charge of the situation. He
urged the people to eat and he gave
thanks in the presence of them all.
He made no effort to conceal the
fact that he was a minister or the
Gospel of Christ. All signs pointed
to destruction. Revelation said they
would all be saved.The modern world,
instead of taking God’s revelation,
usually watches for the signs of the
times. Jesus said, “A wicked and
adulterous generation seeketh after a
sign.”

The ship was wrecked The people
were saved. Human life is more valu
able than ships and cargoes. When
Jesus cast some demons out of a
man and. they went into swine and
swine ran over a precipice into the
waiter and were drowned, the people
besought Jesus to depart from their
country. They thought more of swine
than they did of men. Human nature
hasn’t changed. Selfish men still put
material things above their interest
in human life.
When the ship on which Paul was
traveling was wrecked, we read that
some came to land on broken pieces
of the ship and some on boards. On
the ocean of life many of our ships
are wrecked. The ship of hope some
time sinks. The ship of ambition is
sometimes destroyed by storms The
real man doesn’t go down with the
ship. He rides some board or broken
piece of timber to shore and to safe
ty. The real test of character is the
ability to keep going after the ship
is wrecked.

truth, 1 didn’t know about them

“Just after you took charge,
you told me you would do every
