Now he 1* jdurneylng back to that state on the Southern railway In charge of Sheriff J. L. Shock of Davie county. Lang's term expired Tuesday and he wua released from iho United Statee prison. He was brought to the post' ©nice building by Deputy Marshal Mark Scott and before Clerk Fuller he took an oath that he was unable to pay a fine of 3500 assessed against him. You’re discharged." said Clerk Ful ler. and Sheriff Sheek. from Mocks- vlllo. Davie county. North Carolina, gpt ready. Accompanying him were Dep uty Sheriffs Shropshire and Chastain, of Atlanta, and the former was armed Ith extradition papers Issued by Gov. ernor Smith. A Desperate Charaeter. ‘Black Billy” has been given a dea ls rate charaeter by the Pinkertons, and Is down In the records as a dangerous man. For tills reason Sheriff Sheek, of North Carolina, was taking no chances. Hut there was no cause for any ap prehension. "Black Billy” knew when H- was released from prison that bis liberty would be short. He had learned that hlx pals had gone back to North Carolina before him. and be knew that an offleer from that state would be walling for him. After Clerk Fuller bail discharged him he opened a package or letters that had been turned over to him by the prison authorities and calmly proceed, cd to read them and converse with At torney F. H. Berbertch. Mr. Berberlch met Lang as he entered the Federal building and looked after Ilia Interests. I-ang opened the letters and the hand.: that held them never trembled In the slightest. In tones calm and quiet he conversed with Mr. Berbertch a few minutes In Clerk Fuller's office. Then he wa|ked to the door leading the corridor and said: "Gentlemen, I ain ready to go with ou.” Again handcuffs were placed on his wrists and he left the building a pris oner. At the Terminal Btatlon he asked to see the extradition papers and the charge against him. He told Mr. Berberlch to examine the papers. Didn't Need Papers. •If they suit you,” he said, “they are satisfactory to me., extradition pa pers were unnecessary, however. 1 City Employees Must Not Be Indebted to Street Car Company. Upon the form of the agreement en tered Into between the city of Atlanta and the Georgia Railway and Electric Company will depend altogether any approval of the* railroad commission of the plan of allowing city employees to ride free. In other words, the obligation of carrying the individuals—Inspectors, firemen or policemen—mutt be on the city nnd not the street car company. Employees receiving such privileges must feel that It comes from the city and not the street railway. Tuesday morning Park Woodward, general manager of the waterworks, and Frank Rice, president of the water board, appeared before the commission ae a committee from that department of the city government, to see If the order regarding free passes would not be moderated sufficiently to allow Its spectora to ride on the cars free. They' were told frankly that It would depend altogether on the agreement framed between the city of Atlanta and the Georgia Railway and Electric Com pany. They jvere asked to reduce on agreement to writing, submit It to the commission, when It would be paeaed upon. Russian GiH Killed 8tlf. St. Petereburg. Nov.

The contract for the construction of the Atlanta-Auguata Interurbon elec tric line has been awarded to the Cook Laurie Co., of Montgomery, Ala, and orders for the equipment for the portion of the line to Atlanta will be placed Immediately. . Work'will begin on the tracks In the city within a few months, certainly I before March I, 1908, the date of the expiration of the franchise granted by the city, and when once started the other. section will be constructed ua rapidly ns possible. A director of the company stated Tuesday morning that the financial ar rangements had been made with a London firm to the satisfaction of those Interested In the electric railway, and that, although there are still many things to be done, the project is pro gressing finely. The Idea of running electric cars without a trolley by use of a recent Invention will probably not be carried out. This plan works well. It Is said, for passenger service, but would give little satisfaction In handling the great amount of freight which the Atlanta- Augusta line will have to.carry. As yet, it is stated, the entire right of way has not been secured by the company, which makes the construction of certain portions of the line some what uncertain. However, It Is not ex- Iiected that the property owners will cause trouble. In view of the value op the line to the country through which It runs. J. II. Cook, president of the Cook & Laurie Company, which Is to do the work, was In Atlanta Tuesday, stop ping at the Ptedmont. He declined to discuss the Itffalrs of the company be yond admitting, when asked, that the contract Had been awarded to his firm. The proposed line will he 200 miles long, running from Atlanta to Augus ta. through l.lthonln. Conyers. Monroe, Athens, Lexington und Washington. It will furnish both freight and passenger for the sections througb which It goes. A t*n-m!nnti> ndhedlfle will l>e run upon the portion of -the line In Atlanta. * The placing of the orders-for the equipment of the Atlanta end of the line real!y marks the beginning of the construction of the railway. As eoon us the material is on hand, it Is stated, the actual building will commence. SENATOR BANKHEAD IS CRITICALLY ILL Successor *to Late John T. Morgan Reported Very Sick.
