Greenwood, Oct. 10.?Louis Lomax a negro hoy, 16 years old. who was brought to jail here from Hodges about two weeks ago on tne charge of lar ceny, went raving crazy yesterday af ternoon about 6 o'clock. The boy had been allowed to occupy a large cell with several other prisoners and had showed no signs of unusual action un til suddenly yesterday afternoon he seemed possessed of an evil spirit and began to make things very uncom fortable for his several cellmates. He let loose two or three blood-curdling yells as a sort of gentle reminder of Which was to come and then proceed ed to scratch, claw and kick every body, and everything in sight. At flrsi the negroes In the cell with him thought that he was joking, as rough as it seemed to them, but when he be gan to knaw on two or three of them and to shred the clothes from several of the others, they too began some yelling in a high falsetto key praying for a hasty deliverance from the wrath that had so abruptly come to them. Officer Dave Major soon arrived on the scene and telephoned for County Physician Owens, who gave the mad negro an anesthetic to get him under control, but it was several minutes before Mr. Major together with several negroes couid handle him. The boy, screaming, yelling, snapping and clawing, seemed pos sessed of supernatural strength and gave the men such a terrible tussle that they had great difficulty in landing him In a cell to himself. Af ter so long a time the anesthetic took effect and he went to sleep for several hours, but early this morning he opened up at top speed again and to day he has been an object of curiosity for numbers of people who have vis ited the Jail. When sufficiently arous ed he attempts to grab anybody and anything that comes within reach. Dr. Owens stated this morning that he thought the negro was suf fering from acute mania. He has giv en some signs of having hydropho bia, but there is no evidence -hat he was bitten by a maddog before I e was lodged in jail. He will probably be sent to Columbia tonight.?Green wood Daily Journal. WHO LAUGHED LAST! The Honeymoon Couple and the Cus toms Officers. Pearson's Weekly. .John Raphael, the brilliant Paris correspondent to a number of our English newspapers.' tells a story of another honeymoon couple. They had spent part of their holiday in Brussels, and as lace is so much cheaper there than in France, the bride wanted, to buy some to take home with her. But the husband said "No!" Py the time they paid the duty for importing it Into France, he pointed out. they might as well buy it In Paris. "Rut I could easily get it through the customs." the bride declared. But the husband said "No!" again. He was not going to get into trouble for smuggling on his honeymoon. Between Brussels and the frontier the bride, apparently brooding over the lace, explained exactly how she would have gone about the business. "I couhl have hidden any amount of lace under my dress." she said. The husband had a bright idea. He would show his wife that his words of wisdom were not to he' despised. So. when they arrived at the frontier station and the customs officers were searching the luggage of the passen gers he stepped out of the traH and approached one of the officers. Point ing to his wife, who happened to he looking the other way. he said: "I think that lady has some lace about her! The officer thanked him and made a sign to one of his subordinates. A minute later madame, protesting an grily, was taken off to be searched, while monsieur smoked a cigarette and chnckled at the thought that the search (although, of course, he knew that she had no lace) would cure her of the wish to smuggle In future. He ceased chuckling, however, when the customs officer came up to him and said: "We are very much obliged to you. The lndy had 40 pounds' worth of lace wrapped around her waist. But she says you will pay the duty and the fine!" Saved H? His Wife. She's a wise woman who knowB just what to do when her husband's life is in danger, but Mrs. H. J. Flint, Braintree.
