MOST PARCEL
Additional 1,000 Feet of Space
Will Be Needed and Force
Will Be Doubled.
Heads of th* Railway Matl Depart
ment and Unit'd State* postofflce in
spectors In Atlanta have been engaged
recently in an Investigation to de
termine the extent of increased busi
ness as the direct result of the order
which goes into effect August 15 In
creasing the limit of weight of pare* '
POPt package** from 11 to 20 pounds.
Postoffice Inspector Robert K. Har
ry; Mark Hunn, chief clerk of the
Railway Mall Service, nnd G. A.
(rardner, special agent from Wash
ington.’ have been conducting the in
vestigation. They declared Thursday
that at the minimum to start with
it would be necessary to obtain 1,000
square feet additional floor space at
••ach terminal station to provide for
the increased business.
Will 8ort Mail at Terminals.
A unique system has been arranged
by which all parcel post mall here
after will be assorted at the terminal
stations.
“Carloads of packages will now be
shipped which It Is impossible to as
sort on the roads." nald Mr Barry.
"A carload of parcel post matier from
Chicago or a distant point will come
d.rect to Atlanta. Here it will be
assorted at the terminal station, and
as far as is possible this class of
mail will hereafter travel by the car
load Parcel post carriers will re
ceive their mall at the terminal, and
thus eliminate carrying U to the post-
office.
In the lapt week we have visited
all the principal cities of the South
where terminals will he established
for this purpose. Atlanta Is the larg
est of all Southern terminals, over
sixty trains of mail of from three to
d Wit cars each are assorted here
dally.
"We have decided that at least
1,000 square feet additional flour
space will be necessary to start with,
but Jutl how much more will be
needed when In operation we are un
able as yet to estimate.
“At every terminal the number of
men now employed will be doubled.
Atlanta now has ten assorting clerks
The parcel post system with Its latest
Improvements has revolutionized the
entire postal service. The benefits to
be derived by the citizens of the
United Slates are colosal.’’

AUGUSTA, July 24.—Reports from
Columbia, S. C., are that Mrs. Mary
VV. Zachry. of Augusta, appealed to
Governor Blease yesterday to not al
low her two children to be taken away
from her in South Carolina, where she
fled with her babies, Frances, aged 3,
and Mildred, 9 months. It is under
stood the Governor did not commit
himself.
Julian J. Zachry, the husband, was
asked for a statement yesterday. He
said that he had nothing to say about
the kidnaping of the children by Mrs.
Zachry.
Mrs. Zachry stated before leaving
here that she would kill her husband
or any other man who attempted to
take her babies from her. She was
frantic because of what she termed
the law s injustice in awarding trie
children to Mr. Zachry's custody.
Mrs. Zachry was Miss Mary \VTlecx
and was Mr. Zachry’s stenographer
when they were married. Within a
year the first child was bom. It was
a short time before the second child
was born that an estrangement oc
curred.
Mrs. Zachry, it is charged, found
letter? alleged to show that her hus
band had been having secret meetings
with another woman. This led to their
separation, the court’s order awarding
the custody of the children to their
father and the mother’s deflanoe of
the ruling as shown in her action In
taking them to South Carolina.
