hanks Released

According to a decision handed down a
few days ago by the supreme court of
New York, banks which handled the al
legged fraudulent drafts, to which cotton
bills of lading were attached, for the now
bankrupt cotton firm of Knight, Yancy
& Co. are in no way responsible. The
decision will be of great relief to the
Decatur banks besides to a number of
other banks in the south. 1t is believed
that it will have tendency to benefit
business, because it will restore conf
dence in these banking establishments
that handled the Knight, Yancy paper In
large amounts. There were some people
who were of the opinion that the banks
would have to pay these losses on alleged
fraudulent drafts, hence they had lost
confidence in some of these banks that
had been dealing largely in this paper.
