his purpose to use these four per cents.
solely for the purpose of replacing the

Southern State, and the readiness
with which they are taken speaks elo-
quontly of restored confidence.
Georgia As, due in 1892, sold yesterday
at ll1l A notable point is that the
greatest part Of Gcorgia's late issues
OF bonds is held by her own people.
The new four per cents. are, in shape
and general appearance, tbs counter
part OF greenbacks. The IS bonds
are almost fac -similcs of S. bills
1t is believed they will circulate
as currency quito freely. Before the
issue was ordered the most searching
inquiry was made into the constitu,
tiOnality of the matter. A decision
was obtained from the revenue denart-
ment to the effect that they were not
subject to tax under the revenue law
and the opinions of the ablest lawyers
were obtained. The Georgia bonds
differ from the currency protested in
the celebrated Missouri case, in that
each bond has its coupons regularly
attached. The only crime in their
issue, said a leading lawyer, if any
crime there is, is in the use of small
type, small denominations and small
pieces of paper" By the substitu-
ton of the present issue of four per
cents Georgia saves half the interest
on half-million of eight per cents.
The law prescribes that they shall all
be sold at par. Treasurer Renfroe
has received letters from the authori-
ties of various Southern States, asking
for information as to the issue and sale
of his bonds, and it is probable thar
this experiment will lead to the gene
raj issue Of a series of low-rate bonds
throughout the South. The city of
