IN OFFICE BUILDING

Crazed from cocaine, Andrew Fitz-
gibbons. young white man with a long
police record, nearly scared tenants of
the Atlanta National Bank building into
panic early today when he wildly
rushed through the halls and sought a
hiding place. Several of the tenants
left the building by the nearest exit.
Fitzgibbons escaped from Deputy
Sheriff Haygood at the Union passen-
ger station, where the two were await
ing train to take them to Milledge-
willie and the state sanitarium. He
rushed across the railroad tracks and
was soon lost in the bank building The
officer followed and took a post at the
corner of Whitehall and Alabama,
where he could watch both entrances.
Then he summoned Chief Deputy
John Owen and fellow officer, John
Suttles. Thirty minutes later the es-
capped prisoner was found in an office

Tax Bill Would
Have Paid Teachers.

1t was designed to provide way
whereby the paying of the school teach
ers might be more satisfactorily adj
justed. and, in the event of its passage
and ratification. would have been in eff
feet but one year, 1913.
1t was vehemently ADVOCATED by Mr..
Ashley, its author, and several other
members, but it never was in sight of
passage.
Its author figured that under its oper-
alton sum sufficient to pay up the
school teachers might be raised and
that once the state got the teachers on
a cash basis again 1t would be easy to
keep them there.
Those who opposed the bill seemed
to feel that it would be dangerous to
let down the gap in the matter of high
er taxation for any purpose, and for
that reason the bill should not pass

COUNCILMAN TO ASK
REASON FOR CHANGE
IN SEWER PROGRAM

At the next meeting Of council, Coun-
Gilman Claude Mason will introduce a
resolution asking the sewer committee

plain why the regular program for sewer

many houses along its route. But eighty
convicts have been put on work near
Piedmont park, where there are scarcely
any houses, and they are working back
toward the thickly populated section.
The county convicts are doing the work,
