NEVER PAY BILLS
GOVERNOR OF NORTH CAROLINA
STANDS PAT ON
REPUTATION.
REPUTATION.

New York, Dec Ex-Governor Rob
ert B. Glenn of North Carolina, in
letter replying to communication
from Edward L. Andrews, who repre-
sents holders of $11,000,000 of special
tax bonds of North Carolina, which
matuTed three years ago and were
never paid, declared that the legislat.
ure has twice repudiated the bonds
and that the state would not pay one
cent for them. GLENN declares that
North Carolina has acted fairly with
its creditors but would not pay for
bonds conceived in sin and brought
forth in iniQuity."
Andrews urged that a settlement be
effected, stating that arrangements
were being made to donate 100000
of the bonds to a foreign government
for the purposes Of a suit, since under
the law individuals cannot sue a state.
The question of the payment of the
bonds has been the subject of inter-
minabIe litigation. Payment was de
cIined because it was urged that the
agent who disposed Of them failed to
make proper returns to the state.
