Lease Business Waking Up.
The approach of autumn always
causes extensive preparations for
renting and leasing. Some of the
most important leases in the city ex

leases are up at the end of the year.
The renting business also takes on
a roseate hue in the fall. People
away at summer resorts are return

dence are in order for a large part of
them. Local agencies are according
ly preparing for the rush. Some

Declaring that Governor Please, of
South Carolina, was acting under no
legal right whatever in demanding his
extradition from Georgia, P. B. Zach-
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.
Zachry.
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 1 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 three years of ag?, 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 week ago, when
Governor Blease demanded the ex
tradition of Zachry, a host of friends
of the latter held a mass meeting in
Augusta and s nt a telegram to Gov
ernor Blease requesting a hearing be
fore any decision was made.

NEW YORK, Aug 7.— Continued dry
weather over Texas and Oklahoma led
to further buying at the opening of the
cotton market to-day an<j 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
call further bullish advices relative to
the weather were received and prices
advanced still further.
There was na rain shown on the map
which was an incentive for buying, but
there Is disturbance in the Gulf, which
local weather experts claim may bring
tain in the next two days over the west
ern belt. This is causing hesitancy on
the part of bulls to buy aggressively.
Every one seemed to await the noon de
tailed weather report to see bow high
the temperatures may run and whether
or not the local experts are correct in
iheir predictions. The volume of Had
ing was small and the range was very
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 Ifand, the
bull element hesitated • when the ring.
Wall street and uptown crowd so’d the
market off a few points. Should rain
materialize in the Western belt between
now and Sunday undoubtedly it will pro
mote sufficient selling to send the mar
ket hack into last week’s low level.
At the close the market was steady
with prices at a net advance of 5 to 7
points from the final quotations of Wed
nesday.

and Misouri, but this was overbal
anced by scattered rains in the belt and
the feeling that corn is high enough.
There were cash sales of wheat of only
45,000 bushels at Chicago and export
sales were reported as dull.
The sharp break In corn during the
morning was the result of profit-taking
by one of the largest holders in the
trade, and who is located at Fort
Worth, Texas.
Provisions closed rather unsettled aft
er a session of dullness.

COLUMBUS, GA.. Aug. 7.—A sugges- :
tion made some lime ago, which looks t
as if it will be turned into a reality, is
that an exhibit of the manufactured \
products of Columbus be gathered at i

on exhibition the year around, in order j
that visitors to Columbus might have
an opportunity to see something of the !
wide variety of articles made here. ; Nv

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 7.—Liverpool
came in about 2 points lower than due
on futures, but shows larger spot sales;
total 10,000 hales at 6 points higher quo
tations. The maj> shows a generally
fair belt. Temperatures entirely nor
mal, except somewhat above in Arkan
sas and Tennessee. The disturbance in
the Gulf remained stationary, holding
forth additional promise for a change
in the weather In the west
The market opened r: unchanged fig
ures. but soon rallied a few points on
the buying in anticipation of a better
demand possibly from Europe on the
conclusion of peace. The advance was
checked by prospects of more favora
ble weather in the west.
August in New York showed addi
tional strength on a report that 10 000
halos export room had been engaged and
that the stock won’d he reduced to the
low fig> j re of 18,000 bales.
The market eased after the close of
Liverpool to 12.15 for October, with
trading small and waiting for news of
weather developments in the west.

The Chicago Inter*Ocean says: "Sen
timent in wheat is mostly bearish as
viewed by local traders on the big re
ceipts and lig.:t export business. Shrewd
operators, however, only selling on
bulges, and say that caution should
be used so long as the bull movement
in c<>rn continues. While a majority of
coin traders are bullish, there are a
number who are 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
w eat, the latter being sold and corn
bought on the carrying charge theory.

moderate.
