visor asked the delegation to make
provision for the up-kccp OF the chain

this years appropriation had been
used in paying off deficit OF last
year. Senator 0. p. Goodwin was not
present at the last meeting OF the day,
having departed earlier in the after
noon when the delegation as y whole
mad given notice tina. it would not
make any provision for the super
visor,,s nor tho shcriI's office, both of
which have exhausted their appropria-
tions.
Thc delegation came to tho city
again Friday and yesterday, when it|
was indicated to them by outside par
1'es mat the supervisor MOULD prob
ably make up 2 statement. In the
lAlddie or inc afternoon tho delegation
drew up a statement OF its own and

The delegation went To Clinton ,ist
night upon the invitation of ,he Gin
ton Chamber of Commcrce Ii is mn
derstood that the delegation wac to
be asked to rlehge the ronavmcnt or|
about $1,000 which Clinton citizon,
proposed to subscribe TO maintain thc
county chaingang while il works the
proposed Calhoun highway through
the lower part OF ,hc counly Gnnar-
visor Watts, according to his state,
ment, has already agreed to send the
gang there and allow II to be used by
the Clinton people at their expense
provided the county delegation does
mot make provision for it as the super
visor has asked. Representative Nance
before leaving yesterday, said that he
could not consistently agree to such
a proposition.
The contention Of the SUPERVISOR as
1t came out at the various meetings
Is that by reason of the cut of $l4.5OO
under last years appropriation and
OF $4,000 under this years budget and
with the greatly increased size Of the
chaingang, the appropriation for chain
gang purposes has been exhausted The
delegation claims that the supervisor
refused to come TO Columbia to tell
what he wanted tor the current year
and that they had to go by last years |
supply bill, cutting down the appro-
priatoD in view Of the lowered cost OF
living.
The Acts Of 1920 show; that the
supervisor asked then for $584Gl.S7 |
and that much was granted him. The |
report to the Comptroller General this |
year shows that he asked for $6l,l61 20
and was given $4i,50O.
Representative Carol ID. Nance who
has done most Of the talking for the
delegation said that he has no per-
sonal motives in his refusal to make
the desired appropriation, But that he
simply wishes the public to be fully

Methods Reversed
Suit Against Federal Reserve
Institution at Atlanta To BE
TriedonMer-its: Small Nom
Me MI b ers Complainants

WASHINGTON, May 16.--The Su-
nYeme Court reversed to-day DEGREES
If Georgia courts which had refused to
euicin the Federal Reserve Bank at
Atlanta from collecting checks drawn
=, non-member state banks and the
case was remanded. TO the lower courts
for further proceedings. As the issue
hefore the Supreme Court was merely
rrhether. as matter of pleading, the
nlsint;fT's bill of complaint stated
cause of action, the decision to-day
ras not q fnal determination and the
ssse will GO back to the District Court
of the Northern District of Georgia,
where the next step is expected to be
trial on its merits.
The plaintiffs asserted that in order
10 enforce its policy of par collection
ri checks the Atlanta Reserve Bank
MANNED to hold the checks of small
ron-member banks until they reached
material size and then to demand
and TO utilize other methods which
would necessitate the non-member
hanks keeping always on hand sum
out of all proportion TO their capital.
Such methods, they said, would force
them to close their doris or to join the
Federal Reserve System. 4 suit for an
injunction to restrain the Reserve
Bank from proceeding along these
lines was brought, but was dismissed
when the Georgia court sustained
demurrer of the Federal Reserve Bank.
An appeal was then taken to the Su-
preme Court.
Governor Harding, of the Federal
Reserve Board, said tonight that the
Supreme Courts decision will not in
terfere with the present check clear
ing functions of the Federal Reserve
banks and those banks will continue to
collect checks drawn upon those banks
which are listed upon the par lists.
"The opinion of the Supreme Court
does not DEM the legal authority Of
the Federal Reserve Bank 30 cellect
checks on non-member banks by MAX
ing presentations thereof at the coun-
ter" statement issued by Governor
Harding said, "but holds merely that
non-member banks may be entitled to
relief if they can prove that the Fed
eral Reserve Bank malevolently in
tends to accumulate checks and pre-
sent them in an oppressive manner for
the sole purpose of injuring the banks
upon which the checks are drawn"
In opposing the suit, counsel for the
Federal Reserve Board denied that it
"intended any illegal act" and asserted
that par collection of checks would save
more than S 100000 q year to the
American public.

Why This Opportunity
Is Offered

Our great readjustment sale last
Autumn anticipated the radical
reductions along all lines that
have followed. In consequence we
are, and for several months have
oeen, on reconstructed price
basis.
We realize, however, that unusual
values must still be presented in
oraer to appeal to the widespread
spirit of economy.
we decided to create such an op-
portunlty, by reducing our discon-
unued fabrics and patterns, and
such seasonable goods, which, if
not sold now, would remain in
stock for some time, to prices
which would make certain their
sale by June 30th.
Our further desire was to bring our
establishment, it's resources and the
attractive prices of our merchandise to
the attention Of those who, for some
reason, may not have visited US before,
