It was neither fierce j nor very protracted. Seventy-live j thousand dollars were drawn out, and ■ in addition to large sums loaned by | other banks and by citizens, the cus tomers paid In on deposit accjtints 165,000. When the bank closed at 2 p. m. the excitement had about died out and few there were left who were asking for their money. "I state positively and unerjuivocally, that I know of no cause or reason that should have caused the uneasiness or time tion of certain deposit! and I am perfectly' at loss to locate t starting point of the wild rumor that did the bank so great an injustice." ATLANTA, July 3.—For the the history of legislative sum mer sessions, the House and Senate have decided to adjourn over for a period of four days, and there will be no session of the General Assembly until next Monday, three of the inter vening days, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, having been declared non legislative days, which means they will terday, be added on at the end of the session.

The report spread rapidly during the after noon and night and when the doors of the bank wore thrown open yester day morning a number of depositors began to withdraw their deposits, but the run was met with the utmost case. Information as to what was to be expect»t1 reached the ears of the of ficers of the institution, and-realizing that a run was Imminent, a call was Issued for a meeting of the Macon Clearing House Association, composed i f b of the bnnks of the city, and preuara- itions were immediaely made to meet it. Another meeting of tile Clearing House Association was held before hanking hours yesterday morning, and while the crowd was gathering at the door of the bnr.k luge .ind bulky sums of money wore, transferred, In full of all, from the other banka to th Exchange Bank. This action seemed to lessen the excitement to some de gree. but when the doors of the bank were thrown open a goodly' number began to present checks covering their deposits. Behind the cashier in his office were piled up a huge sum of money, and not en awkward or hesitating move was made bv him as each check was pre sented and currency promptly given in return. In great contrast to the scene at the paying teller's window, at the receiving window were being handed in by many or the most prominent business men of the city substantial deposits, which, when the statistics of the day’s busi ness were finally compiled. almost has adjournment been taken for the fourth, but also for Friday and Sat urday of this week. Some surprise has been expressed at this action, especially in view of the fact that this Legislature has been looked to as a body of reformers. The reason given for the adjournment is the fact that neither the President of the Senate nor the Speaker of the House has been able as yet to name the committees, which are necessary to the transaction of business. It is also claimed that. Saturday is not a working day, a quo rum seldom being present the last day of’t,he week. There was quite a discussion over adjournment resolution in the House when it was called up by Mr. Hall, of Bibb. Several amendments were offered looking to declaring all the intervening days “dies non.” Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, said it would be bad precedent to include Sunday in that list, because it would ultimately mean that the seven Sunday's would Pvv be declared dies non and added on at the end of the session. The House finally compromised by declaring only Friday and Saturday non-legislative days or dies non. hut when the resolu tion reached the Senate, it caused con siderable debate on the same score. The Senate finally passed the ad journment resolution as it was passed by the House, with the exception that the glorious fourth was also declared a “dies non,” despite the fact that it I is one of the biggest days in the na tion’s history. of any transportation company to accept or collect fare from a person who is not provided with a seat.

Hawley, senior counsel for the State, said in reply that it was the intention of the State to present a series of motions dealing with the evi dence presented by the defense. At torneys Darrow and Richardson were on their feet instantly, to say together that the defense also would have some motions to make, so that the end or this week, or the earlv part of next, the taking of testimony will probably be interrupted for an extended argu ment on the admissibility of a mass of evidence already in the record.

Such a demonstration as the dispatch of the American fleet as the greater part of it. to the Pacific, according to some of the German critics, would result in Japanese at tacking any American vessels caug.it in the Pacific without waiting for the concentration of American war ships. The Japanese officers who recently- visited Germany with Admiral Yama moto and those attached to The Hague delegation to the peace conference, who spent some weeks in Germany, placed no orders with German am munition or small arm factories. They were on the lookout for new ’machine guns, but did not find any as far as jean be learned. They placed an order for some 12-inch naval guns with the Krupps, but the number ordered is i not known. These guns take nine months to build. Fertilizer Inspection Fee. ATLANTA, July 3.—Two bills whose object is to increase the inspection fee on fertilizers, made their appear ance in the general assembly today. One of these was introduced in the senate by Senator L. G. Hardman, of the Thirty-third and the other in the house by Mr. Martin, of Elbert.

The theft was de tected Monday. It had been executed : with a holduess as startling as the j deed itself, and was surprising to those who had known and trusted the young man. Runyan had announced his inten tion of spending last Sunday with his mother at Rochester, and no surprise was expressed when he brought his suit cast* to the bank Saturday.

Mass., July 3.—After a search lesting nearly two weeks in which reports of the United States marshals of Chicago, Cleveland. New York and Boston have been endeavor ing to serve upon John D. Rockefeller, head of the Standard Oil Company, a summons issued by Judge Landis, of the Federal court of Chicago, Mr. Rockefeller was located in this city today and personal service made on him by Deputy United States Marshal Charles L. Frink, of North Adams. Mr. Rockefeller explained that he had not been endeavoring to dodge service but that he did not know ex actly what was wanted of him. Early in the day Deputy Marshals Frink and James Ruhl. the latter of the Boston office, visited Taconic farm but E. Parmelee Prentice told them that his father-in-law was not there. The officers professed to be satisfied with the statement and de parted. Deputy Ruhl boarded the train for Boston and Deputy Frink went to His home in North Adams, about twenty-five miles from this city. Later Deputy Frink decided to pay another visit the the farm and he re turned to Pittsfield and drove out there in the afternoon. He proceeded through the wooded driveway into tho open space in front of the house and recognized Mr. Rockefeller sitting on the piazza. The deputy passed the with a smile, shook hands with 'bs deputy and expressed pleasure at meeting him. He invited the officer to sit on the piazza and rest, which invitation was accepted. Mr. Rockefeller chatted for a few moments, saving that he had not in tended to evade the officers, but that he did not know exactly what was desired of him." He referred to txrd newspaper stories that have' been printed about him lately and ridiculed the idea that he had been surrounded by armed guards or that the Taconic farm estate had been equipped with a searchlight. As the officer was leaving the house. Mr. Rockefeller again shook hands with him. said ho was glad to have met him and added: "If you are ever near my home. I hope you will come and call on me.” It is thought that Mr. Rockefeller was advised after the morning call of the officers that he had better ac cept service. It is generally believed that Mr. Rockefeller has been at Ta conic farm since last Thursday. irt reply to questions regarding Mr. Roc kefeller’s presence at Taconic farm, Mr. Prentice on Saturday said thaf. Mr. Rockefeller was not there and! offered a reward of $50,000 to anyone who could prove that his father-in- law was in Pittsfield.

While it cannot be doubted , that he would sign a State prohibi tion bill if the Legislature should pass it. the business men of Atlanta who have discussed the matter feel sure of his co-operating against such legisla tion on the grounds which he has al ready stated. There is no doubt that the fight is going to be strongly waged.
