We see from the State Sentinel that Governor
Morton advertiSes that. through WiHslov. LHuier
4 Co. The interest on tie State deot for last
July and the interest falling due in January
next. will BE- paid. II MeSsrs. WirsIow, Lanier
4 Co. have conclude. to pay such interest We
are glad of IL A il h a voluntary payment

pie OF the State are in no wise bound TO compen
safe the doners Of the 1920 600. In this arrange
ment, We very strongly suspect there u an at
temp; between the Governor and the donors of
this magnificent gift similar that which
isted between The Governor and his brother Bill
Morton. Mr. Vaen. Nc. Sulgrove and others in
their contracts 10 aid the General Government in
