A wordless gurgle from Jim Blake
interrupted him. The telephone was
set down by hand that shook as
though from palsy. For a single in.

stupidity upon Grace who bowed heI

their gaze.

whisper of eager futile comforting

Monday afternoon a card of warn
ing to advertising sharpers was
drawn up and the Secretary was in
structed to have a number of them
printed. The card reads, 1--WE are

very strongly within the past few
weeks by crew of advertising So
licitors who took two hundred dol
lars away from the business men and
merchants by means of fraudulent
laundry advertising scheme. In a
great many cities this plan adopted
by the Chamber of Commerce has
saved business men thousands of dol
lars and if the business men take
advantage of it, should entirely do
away with this type of graft. The
committee will take the time to in
vestigate thoroughly, and if neces-
sary to supervise any advertising
schemes that are presented to the
people of Union.

SLATON TURNS
DOWN REQUISITI0N
Blease Offers $3.50 Reward for
Zachry'S Arrest-CaSe Involv-
ing Custody of Children Com
plicated by Georgia Supreme
Court.

ATLANTA, GA. August 12.-The
Supreme Court to-day reversed the
decision of Judge Hammond, of Au-
gusta, awarding the two Zachry chill
dren to the father, J. ]. Zachry,
thereby further complicating the SEN
sational case in which requisition pa
pers by Governor Blease for Zachry
were refused by Governor Slaton this
morning.
According to the ruling of the Su-
preme Court, the decision awarding
the children to the father is reversed
and remanded to Judge Hammond's
Court for further hearing. The ruling
further specifies that Judge Ham,
mond may exercise his discretion in
awarding the custody of the children,
which is contrary to the opinion rem
dered by Judge Hammond, who held
previously that he was forced to
award the children to Zachry be-
cause of a previous Judgment.
The effect of the ruling will be to
put the whole matter back in the Au-
gusta Courts, with the possibility
that Mrs. Zachry will be awarded the
custody of the two children.

may also say that< this big bank has
done all it could to embarass business
by staying "close to the shore" This
bank and other big banks have been
very anxious to prevent currency and
banking legislation at this session of
Congress or during this administra-
tion as for that matter. There is no
doubt about it that these banks have
been increasing reserves and reduc-
ing loans. That means they were
keeping more cash in their vaults and
lending less. The big fellows have
been saying that they were doubtful
about the Democratic administration
and were remaining "close to the
shore" Their talk and their conduct
were calculated and were intended to
induce small bankers over the country
to increase reserves and curtail loans.
That would pinch the business world.
Money was getting uncomfortably
tight. The cotton crop was about to
come on the market. Some of us were
anxious and deeply concerned. At an
opportune time McAdoo announced
that he would deposit fifty millions
of public money in the banks of the
South and West to help move crops.
That was splendid. The big fellows
were madder than ever at this roolish
Democratic administration. Hereto
fore, even if the public funds were
deposited to help move crops, they
were deposited without interest in the
big banks in New York, thence were
sent to the South at stiff interest rates.
The Secretary of the Treasury says
that if fifty millions will not relieve
the situation he will deposit one hun
dred and fifty millions. 1t is good to
use the peoples money to help the
people. The bankers in New York
have not been able to control McAdoo
and they have been knocking him.
The other day one of the big fellows
In New York was knocking McAdoo in
the presence of a South Carolinian.
The South Carolinian said, "You have
not a right to complain. You either
could not or would not let us have any
money. Why then do you object when
McAdoo lets us have it. Take a
homely illustration. Suppose you had
a crib full of corn and your neighbors
had no corn, and were suffering for
corn and you would say that you did
not know what the Democrats were
going to do and you were going to
keep your corn. Could you justly COM
plain if somebody let your suffering
neighbors have corn Or if you said
you could not spare bushel of corn.
why object to some one else coming to
the rescue The South Carolinian
covered the whole case. The big bank
ers could not or would not help us.
McAdoo came to our relief Hurrah
fo McAdoo!

Union TO Have
Farmers EXCHANGE

On Saturday, August %, the day set
for the illustrated farmers lecture, the
farmers exchange plan will be at
tempted in Union. This plan has
worked very successfully in Anderson
and in many other farming centers
throughout the country. A black
board, nine feet by three feet will be
provided on the side of the Farr G.
Thomson building and for the first
day, at least, will be in charge of
some of the members of the Agricul-
tural committee of the Chamber of
Commerce. The exchange plan is
very simple, for instance, a farmer
who may have a cultivator that he
wishes to sell; he writes on the "Will
Sell1 side of the board the kind of
cultivator that he has to sell, the
price asked and his name. During
the week hundreds OF faxmers vim
