ment to amend section So to add county
bonds" OF any county i'll the state, the
county bonds to be of par value. He
said the bonds of Buucombe county
were at par or ABOVE in New York.
Mr.. Watson, of Forsyth, said such
bonds would not add one cent to the cir
culation. They might be valuable at
home, but were destructed abroad. be-
cause of the very nature of counties,
which were the creations of the legisla-
ture, and also of the possible tickle or
transient nature of county investments
and transactions.
