ATLANTA, GA. August 12.?The supreme v^ourt to-aay reversed the decision of Judge Hammond, of Augusta, awarding the two Zachry children to the father, J. J. Zachry, thereby further complicating the sensational case in which requisition papers by Governor Blease for Zachry were refused by Governor Slaton this morning. According to the ruling of the Supreme 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 Hammond may exercise his discretion in awarding the custody of the children, which is contrary to the opinion rendered by Judge Hammond, who held previously that he was forced to award the children to Zachry because of a previous judgment. The effect of the ruling will be to put the whole matter back in the Augusta Courts, with the possibility mat J>irs. z.achry will be awarded the custody of the two children.

' a PES M'ADOO j, ' UMb Says the Bankers of Nt^jf Vork Cannot Control Smnary McAdoo, But They acefMfter His Scalp. Washington. D. C.f August 12, 1912. Mr-"Editor: For the benefit of your readers who have not had full opportunity to keep in touch with the happenings in Washington let me write a 4?ort account of the management of tybblic money under,the Wilson administration. How things have changed! Hie change is for the better. It is reFreshing. We have in Wm. G. Mc o a. ? nuw a oecrewry 01 tne Treasury who tho thinks and acts in the interest of he people. For many years the practice was to deposit without internt millions and millions of public . thinks and acts in the interest of noney in certain large bank3, mostly , n New York. For instance, early in December 1907 four big New York , :ity banks had on deposit forty mil- , ions of public money, an average of | sleven millions for'each bank. Short? after Wilson's term began, Secre- i ary of the Treasury McAdoo announc- ( HsdlAL nuKlil* mnnav in ?<" ??? - IllUlltJ 111?caicsa cnil |tt)ring balance would be deposited in Bejhtoke, but that the banks must ( iay interest on the deposit at the rate . f two per cent per annpm. Down iur way we^ consider that mighty iJjr, The big fellows, ^ I iVU^m|Hh( t))6 JUJ? i J ?? 11 one all it could to embarass business j y staying "close to the shore." This ^ ank and other big banks have been ^ erj^ anxious to prevent currency and r ankrsg legislation at this session of j Congress or during this administra- j ion as for that matter. There is no ( oubt about it that these banks have j een increasing reserves and reduc- c ng loans. That means they were :eeping more cash in their vaults and . ending less. The big fellows have J een saying that they were doubtful bout the Democratic administration nd were remaining "close to the ( hore." Their talk and their conduct ] /ere calculated and were intended to ] nduce small bankers over the country ] o increase reserves and curtail loans. < 'hat would pinch the business world. . loney was getting uncomfortably ( ij?nt. ine cotton crop was about to t ome on the market. Some of us were ( nxious and deeply concerned. At an i pportune time McAdoo announced t hat he would deposit fifty millions i f public money in the banks of the j iouth and West to help move crops. { ^hat was splendid. The big fellows ] vere madder than ever at this /.'oolish 1 )emocratic administration. Hereto- 1 ore, even if the public funds were 1 [eposited to help move crops, they i /ere deposited without interest in the 1 iff banks in New York, thence were i ent to the South at stiff interest rates, 'he Secretary of the Treasury says ^ hat if fifty millions will not relieve l uc situation ne win deposit one Hun- 1 Ired and fifty millions. It is good to t iBe the people's money to help the t leople. The bankers in New York t lave not been able to control McAdoo ] .nd they have been knocking him. < 'he other day one of the big fellows s n New York was knocking McAdoo in i he presence of a South Carolinian, t 'he South Carolinian said, "You have lot a right to complain. You either t ould not or would not let us have any t noney. Why then do you object when i dcAdoo lets us have it. Take a t lomely illustration. Suppose you had < i crib full of corn and your neighbors < lad no corn, and were suffering for orn and you would say that you did lot know what the Democrats were I x -? ?- - ' ;uuiK mi uo ana you were going to :eep your corn. Could you justly com- j >lain if somebody let your suffering ^ teighbors have corn Or if you said ^ rou could not spare a bushel of corn. ^ vhy object to some one else coming to , he rescue " The South Carolinian ( overed the whole case. The big bank- f irs could not or would not help us. ( rlcAdoo came to our relief. Hurrah c McAdoo! Joseph T. Johnson. ] . 1 Mr. J. M. Woods, of Lockhart, was < n Union Monday.

A blackboard, nine feet by three feet will be provided on the side of the Farr & Thomson building and for the first day, at least, will be in charge of some of the members of the Agricultural committee of the Chamber of Commerce. The exchange plan is rery simple, for instance, a farmer who may have a cultivator that he wishes to sell; he writes on the "Will Sell" aide of the board the kind of :ultivator that be, has to sell, the price asked and his npne. During pass the board and shells offer ams mtn ixnmdUlfe ffHttifflSilfeitii h "Will Buy" side of the sxchkngT joard and someone who has a mule 'or sale is pretty sure to see the >oard and communicate with him. This can be done for butter, eggs, ive stock, machinery and all kinds of 'arm products. It is up tQ the farmsrs to take advantage of this.
