20-LB. HIT TO
Additional 1,000 Feet of Space
Will Be Needed and Force
Will Ee Doubled.
Heads of th* Railway Mall Depart
ment and United States postofflce In
spectors in Atlanta have hern engaged
recently In an Investigation to de
termine the extent of Increased busi
ness ns the direct result of the order
which goes into effect August IB in
creasing the limit of weight of parce*
post, package? from 11 to 20 pounds.
Postoffice Inspector Robert E. Bar
ry; Mark Bunn, chief clerk of the
Railway Mail Service, and G. A.
Gardner, special agent from Wash
ington. have been conducting the In
vestigation. They declared Thursday
that at the minimum to start with
It would he nsotlltry to obtain 1,000
square feet additional floor space at
each terminal station to provide for
the Increased business.
Will Sort Mail at Terminal*.
A unique system hits been arranged
by which all parcel post mall here
after will be assorted at the terminal
stations.
“Carloads of packages will now he
shipped which It. is Impossible to as
sort on the roads," K»id Mr. Barry
A carload of parcel post matter from
Chicago or a distant point will come
direct to Atlanta. Here it will he
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 last week we have visited
, all the principal cities of the flouth
i where terminals will be established
for this purpose. Atlanta Is the larg-
•St of all Southern terminals, over
sixty trains of mall of from three to
ele’ht cars each are assorted here
dally.
"We have decided that at leas*
1,000 square feet additional floor
space will be necessary to start with,
hut Junt 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.
Xt'anta now has ten assorting clerks
The parcel post system with Its latest
Improvements has revolutionized the
entire postal service. The benefits to
bv the citizens of the
United States are colosal.”

Flees to South Carolina With
Her Children.
AUGUSTA, July 24.—Reports from
Columbia, S. C., are that Mrs. Mary
W. 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 ti>
take her babies from her. fine was
frantic because of what she termed
the law’s injustice in awarding the
children to Mr. Zachry's custody.
Mrs. Zachry was Miss Mary Wilcox
and was Mr. Zachry's stenographer
whan they were married. Within a
year the first child was born. 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 thflr
father and the mother's defiance of
the ruling as shown in her action in
taking them to South Carolina.
