Then sornc Of the moro up-so-dsts

There machines should accept a cut
of about 50 per cent in the wage.

victs who escaped from Warden Fl.
B. Chapman's convict camp, about
six miles from here on the way to
Fort Valley, Tuesday night, still
were enjoying their freedom at noon
today. They sawed out of the cage,
and the theory is that they escaped

The car was traced q few miles
north, but then the indications were
it turned south on the Dixie high
way in the direction of Waycross.
