An Important Decision.

The Supreme Court has decid-
ed by a unanimous opinion that
State Treasurer Edwards must
accept surety bonds from banks
that have been selected as state
repositories. A Yazoo bank was
named as one of the repositories
and rendered a surety bond as
collateral which was accepted as
good by Gov. Noel and Attorney
General Fletcher, a majority of
the commission of three named
to represent the state in making
deposits of the state funds. Mr..
Edwards refused to deposit the
money with the bank on the ten
der of surety bonds as security
and the matter was taken to the
supreme court. The court holds
that Mr.. Edwards has no option
in the matter. "the action of the
commission is conclusive on the
treasurer, and he must accept
the surety bonds, the majority
having accepted them.
