Augusta Attorney Denies Blease’s
Right to Ask Extradition for
Alleged Kidnaping.
Holiness Meet To Be
Held at Waycross
The eighth annual Holiness camp
meeting will start at Waycross August
14, and last ten clays. - It will be held
at the William Parker Memorial Camp,
under the auspices of the Waycross
Holiness (’amp Meeting Association, of
which W. L. Hinson is president and
Mrs. John W. Adams secretary.
A feature of the meeting will be the
“Former Texas Cowboys.’’ the Roberts
Brothers, of Pilot Point, Tex.
Declaring that Governor Please, of
South Carolina, was acting under no
legal right whatever in demanding his
extradition from Georgia. P. B. Zaeh-
ry, of Harlem, charged with kidnap
ing his own child in Columbia, S. C.,
called upon Governor Slaton Thurs
day morning to arrange for the hear
ing which will be held Monday morn
ing. Governor Slaton changed the
time of the hearing from Friday un
til Monday upon the request of Mr.
Zach ry.
Mr. Zachry declared he would fight
the requisition to the last ditch. He
will be represented at the hearing by
Hamilton Phinizy and C. Henry
Cohen, of Augusta, and John T. West,
of Thomson. The requisition papers
of Governor Blease probably will be
the only testimony offered by the
plaintiffs.
Mr. Zachry told a graphic story of
the case Thursday morning. He had
been awarded the two children four
times, he declared, when Mrs. Zachry
left with them on the very day that
the Superior Court judge in Augusta
upheld the decision of the ordinary
favorable to Zachry.
Sued In South Carolina.
It was then, he declared further,
that he took his automobile and has
tened to South Carolina, wnere he
entered suit again for the children in
the Columbia court.
‘‘I did not want to make out requi
sition papers for Mrs. Zachry.’’ de
clared Mr. Zachry, “because I do not
believe in fighting a woman in that
way. That is the reason I instituted
court proceedings in South Carolina.
“When I entered the courtroom
there was my little daughter Frances,
the older of the two. and the first
thing she said was ‘Hello, papa, are
you going to take me?’ She always
was fond of me and she was the one
I wanted. However, according to a
previous agreement with Mrs. Zachry,
I allowed even this one to visit her
mother once a month.”
Friends Rally to Aid Him.
Following the decision of Judge
Gary awarding the children to him as
claimed, Mr. Zachry declared he took
the older, just tliree years of age, in
his automobile and started for Geor
gia. Several times on the way, he
says, he was warned that he was be
ing followed, and at a bride near the
Georgia line he was fully prepared for
interference by the South Carolina
authorities acting under orders ol
Governor Blease.
“They would not have stopped me,
though,’’ declared Mr. Zachry, “for I
was bound for Georgia with my little
girl, and I meant to get there at all
odds.”
Mr. Zachry Is a prominent attorney
in Augusta and resides in Harlem, a
suburb. Less than a w r eek ago. when
Governor Blease demanded the ex
tradition of Zachry, a host of friends
of the latter held a mass meeting in
Augusta and sent a telegram to Gov
ernor Blease requesting a hearing be
fore any decision was made.

that an exhibit of the manufactured

that visitors to Columbus might have
an opportunity to see something of the

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
Morris H. Rothschild A Co.; We
continue to advise caution as to short
sales around the 11c level.
Hayden, Stone & Co.: Spinners have
not become anxious as yet
Miller & Co.: Everything depends
upon climatic conditions in the South
west.
I^ogan & Bryan: We believe that It
may be well not to press the selling
side too closely, for as indicated in our
advices of to-day shorts displayed some
nervousness and were disposed to re
duce lines pending further developments
in the western belt.

Both Elements Hesitate Pending
Texas Weather Outlook—Sen
timent Continues Bearish.
NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—Continued dry
weather over Texas and Oklahoma led
to further buying at the opening of the
ootton market to-day and first prices
were 1 to 5 points higher than the clos
ing quotations of Wednesday. August
made the best gain. There was a great
deal of warehouse buying. After the
all further bullish advices relative to
the weather were received and prices
advanced still further.
There was na rain shown on the map
vvhioh was an incentive for buying, hut
there is disturbance in the Gulf, which
local weather experts claim may bring
rain in the next two days over the west
ern belt This is causing hesitancy on
the part of bulls 10 buy aggressively.
Every one seemed to await the noon de
tailed weather report to see how high
the temperatures may run and whether
or not the local experts are correct in
heir predictions. '1 he volume of trad
ing was small and the range was veiy
narrow throughout the early session.
The detailed weather record
showed temperatures ranging from 100
to 107 degrees and no rain. The tem
peratures were not so high in the east
ern belt and very little rain was shown.
These high temperatures are causing
uneasiness among the bear forces and
some short covering was in evidence
about noon. On the other hand, the

ures. but soon rallied a few points on
tlie buying in anticipation of a better
demand possibly from Europe on the
conclusion of peace The advance was
checked by prospects of more favora

Notes
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: “Sen
timent in wheat is mostly bearish a.4
viewed by local traders on the big re
ceipts and light exhort business. Shrewd
operators, however, only selling on
bulges, and say that caution shou d
be used so long as the bull movement
in corn continues. While a majority of
corn traders are bullish, there are a
number who arc afraid to follow the
advance much further, because prices
are unprecedentedly high for this season
for December and May. There is a good
deal of spreading between corn and
wheat, the latter being sold and corn
bought on the carrying charge theory.

Bartlett, FYazier & Co. says: “Wheat
—Weather In Western Europe genera ly
favorable. Partly cloudy conditions pre
vail in the Northwest this morning, with
light rains reported at a number ot
points in* both North and South Da
kota. The market shows a rather stead
ier tone and there seems to be more
friendly sentiment to wheat around
these prices.
“Corn—According to reports thus far
received there have been some light
showers in parts of Nebraska. Iowa, Illi
nois and the River Valley, with tempera
tures running slightly lower. We look
for a nervous market to-day. and untU
general rains occur do not expect any
lasting decline.
“Oats—There seems to be more com
mission house buying, but local profes
sionals work on the short side of the
market. Receipts are of fair volume,
though offerings of the new crop are
moderate.
“Provisions—There was fair realizing
on the advance yesterday, but the buy
ing was of a good character. Packers
bought October ribs. Cash trade was
fair with shipments of lard larger than
those of last year.”

MILLER-COTTER COTTON LETTER.
MEMPHIS, Aug 7.-—Texas at the
present time and Oklahoma are dry and
hot. This put the market up early, but
experts were able to find Gulf storm or
other disturbance somewhere, and on
their assurance of rain some time In the
near future prices declined a few points.
It is a dull, pointless market that waits
on the weather. Without rain and with
the present high temperatures continued
considerable deterioration will take place
In the Southwest, but If rains come, the
situation will be entirely different.
Eastern belt reports are brilliant.
