Atlanta, Ca, April 13.-The supreme
court to-day rendered a decision sus-
tanning H. c. Peoples, reporter of the
supreme court, in contracting with the
Franklin Printing and Publishing Com
pany for the publication of the reports
of the supreme court. Some time ago
bids were asked for the work, c. P.
Byrd of this city being the lowest bidder.
Mr.. Peoples, however, did not consider
that Mr.. Byrd was equipped to perform
the work satisfactorily, and so SUISSE
quently let the contract to the Franklin
Publishing Company, who had not put in
a bid under the advertisement calling for
them.
Mr.. Byrd. through Judge Gober of the
Blue Ridge circuit secured a restraining
order to prevent Mr.. Peoples from COM
plotting the contract with the Franklin
Company, and the case was appealed to
the supreme court. The Franklin Com
pany Will now go ahead with the publi-
cation of the reports. The supreme court
held that Reporter Peoples had carried
out the spirit of the law, and even if he
hadn't, the state being a party to the
contract, no suit could be brought against
the reporter.

INTEREST on STATE DEPOSITS.
The Amount Received for the First
Year $4,000 TO $4,000.

Atlanta, Ca, April 1S.-Returns from the
state repositories for the first year. during
which they have been paying interest on
the states money, under the demand made
upon them by Gov. Atkinson, soon after
he came into office, show the governor
has made between $4,000 and $4,000 for
the people from this source. The banks
began the payment of interest Feb l, 1895,
and so far as the reports now in go they
show that for the year ending March !
last, the state treasurer has received from
them as interest $12, $685.. 1t is impossi-
Bile to state the exact amount as yet,
but it is probable that 1t will reach S15,-
600.
The salary of the governor is 5000 a
year. By enforcing a statute that had
previously been allowed to lie dormant
by other governors, Gov. Atkinson has
succeeded in making for the people from
this source alone more than five times
the amount which the state paws him.
