after all the details of the contract
had been submitted to it and approved.
The only bona fide offer made by any
responsible bank or party, before the
contract with the Rhind syndicate
was signed, was one by Mr.. E. n.
Pringle, of the bank of Charleston, to
take $3.50, 900 of the bonds at 81 per
cent. This was much less than we

syndicate offered to take the bonds for
4 of one per cent. is false, and some of
the Charleston holders of old bonds
antagonized the State throughout.

they schemed in every way possible to
keep US from refunding the debt at all,

and then dictate hard terms. The
editorial columns of The News and
Courier at the time, were cited by
him to sustain the truth of this con-
v;ct;on There was donhtless dean
chagrin when thew found we succeed
ed in refunding the debt without them.
As for Mr.. Rhind's commission, it
