The prisoner escaped in gray

had been planning for this very
moment. All his thoughts had
been turned to this end, and now
he was free.
He walked very fast. He didn't
dare to run. The road was strange
to him. There were more houses
on it than there had been twenty
years ago, and more telegraph.
poles. The man had expected to
cut across the fields to the city,
but he found himself bewildered

up into lots and gardens. He came
back to the road and hurried on,
counting the poles as he passed
them, his eyes was on the gray
blot of the city ahead, in which
he must lose himself before the
hue and cry was raised.
Now and then a man passed
him, going home from work. He
tried TO initiate the plodding tread
OF these laborers, but in spite of
himself his feet moved stealthlly,
and with winged swiftness. Oace
he heard sound of wheels com-

PEOPLE ENJ0IN
TAX COLLECTOR.
Residents of wilcox County Kick on
High Hate.

Atlanta. Sept. 21.-Tax Collector C. S.
Mccall of Wilcox county to-day notified
Controller General Wright that 1000
taxpayers of the county had enjoined
him from the collection of the taxes
in the county this year. and inquired if
he must proceed with the collection of
the state rate of IS per 81 200.
The injunction has been expected
since the announcement several DAYS
ago that the rate for the county this
year was 1876 per $1,000. As soon as
the rate fixed was announced by the
County Commissioners there was a
storm of protests from the taxpa yers.
Advice of attorneys was at once sought,
and Saturday an injunction was served
upon the tax collector preventing him
from making any collection.
Controller Wright wrote Mr.. Mccall
to-day that the injunction could not
apply to the state rate, and for him
to begin at once TO enforce the collec-
ton of it. He stated that in his opin-
ion the Injunction was not against the
state rate but against the county rate.
and that the collection of the state levy
was impera tive.
