AS there can be no denial of the
facts contained in this query, there
can be no escape from the everlasting
discredit which would attach to any
state, or even individual, that would
thus wrong their creditors. No pur-
pose of one of the officers, represent
ing the State, to repudiate a part of
the contract embodied in its bonds and
coupons, as it was undisclosed to pur-
chasers and the public until after all
bonds were sold and day of payment
had arrived, could lessen, but 1t
would intensity the wrong to the bond
buyers, and the States duty to protect
its credit and its creditors.

of the above letter, Mr.. Edwards ap-
parentIy attempts to meet it, by card
in which is set forth Letter of pro-
test which he there says was written
me, the day the first bonds were sold,
September IA, 1910. Receipts of pur-
chase money for bonds, with no notice
to the buyers of purpose to discount
the face Of any coupon, would consti-
tute waiver of the protest and an
equitable estoppel. However, no such
letter reached the governors office, as
the governors private secretary and
his stenographer will testify, and they
receive, open, promptly acknowledge,
and pass to indexed files, all office
mail, my connection with correspon-
dence being restricted to dictation and
signature of more important letters.
This Letter was not mentioned by Mr..
Edwards, in his former exhaustive
publications on the same subject
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-02-11

In an open letter, which is being
mailed to leading citizens in various
sections of the state, Governor e. F.
Noel gives details of the contention
over the 100000 state bond issue. The
letter reads:
To Mississippians:
The good name and honor of our
State should be zealously and cour-
ageously upheld in peace as in war;
and when imperiled, in either in
stance, from any source the call of
patriotism, for its defense, is equally
urgent. When such an issue con-
fronts our people, factionalism and
personalities should be forgotten.
To safeguard its appropriations, our
last Legislature authorized the issu-
ance of s60O,OOOO0 of bonds, maturing
in 20 years, interest not exceeding A
per cent, payable semi-annually. Ad-
Vertising for best sealed bids was leg
ally required. In case the bond issue
was not thus sold, the law directed
the Governor, with the advice and
consent of of the Treasurer and Audi
tor" to negotiate private sales at not
less than par.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-02-11

The state treasurer, under the law
the bond issue, had exactly
the same power to make or prevent
bond sales as was conferred on the
Governor and Auditor, the assent of
all three being required. By refusing
assent to a sale, or to receive its pro-
ceeds, the Treasurer could, without lit
igation have prevented all bond sales.
The same result would have followed
a notice from him to the Governor, or
Auditor, that the first coupons would
not be paid until he was forced by the
courts. Had he taken such action, no
bonds would have been sold, but the
State would have lost tens of thou
sands of dollars, through an extra Leg
islative session and the increased in
terest rates, which such, action would
have necessitated.
Three days after the publication
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-02-11

The state received in full what 1t
sought to get, with clear understand
ing, that every purchaser for face
value should collect the accruing in
terest on unmatured coupons, no bond
with past due coupons being sold. Not
a bid was made for more than the face
of the bonds. Every bid was accept
ed and entered on the Treasurer's
books in the order received. How
ever, with the full approval of the
treasurer and auditor, both regarding
il to the interest of the State, several
options for all unsold bonds, at face
value, were contracted, one on Octo-
Der, for the month of November, with
an outside bond firm, from whom
through his two drafts on them
through the Capital National Bank, OF
Jackson the Treasurer, collected 1921,
600. To take and use the money OF
the purchasers of bonds, and to refuse
to pay what the bonds and coupons
purchased call for, would be an act o.
indefensible iniquity as would NEE
the condemnation, and not the approx
al, of any honest man, whether thu
transaction affected an individual o.
the State.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-02-11

The validity of full payment of cou-
pons will be speedily settled by the
courts, but the path of rigth and duty
can never be followed otherwise, than
either by full compliance with the
states contract, embodied in the
bonds and coupons, which are the
terms on which it obtained the money,
or by returning the money paid by the
purchasers with interest from the time
the money was taken and used by the
state. Every state, through its off
GERS, should set an example to its cit
izenship, by having every dealing just
truthful and honest, and avoiding even
the appearance of moral turpitude
Official bonds are legally required just
as much for the protection of the in
dividual as of the state, against official
wrong-doing.

Neither words, nor actions should be
permitted to obscure the real question
before the people, which is: did
Mississippi, through its official repre-
sentatives the governor, auditor and
treasurer, borrow $660,000.00, upon
agreement embodied in bonds and
coupons, containing the states prom
ises of repayment to purchasers; and
if so, can the state, legally or morally,
escape meeting its own written obliga-
tions, by which it obtained and used
this money, without even affording its
creditors opportunity of reclaiming
their money!"

That he could have refused the
money paid for bonds, is proven by his
own action. when, in 1908, he refused to
credit a sheriff with state money paid
into state repositories which gave, as
the law authorized, guaranty bonds as
security, until after the supreme
judges decided that such security is
legal. Had he refused assent to sales
of bonds with accrued interest at face
value, or to have received the pro
ceeds of sales, or had informed me-
that he would not pay in full, the cou
pons attached to the bonds sold,
should not have sold any bonds, for
would not knowingly have sold

igation, or default in payment.

Until read Mr.. Edwards published

idea than that all the coupons would
be paid on presentation, nor, till then,
had either the auditor or the attorney
general, as each have told me- within
the past "a hours. The only CONVEX
sation on the subject of payment OF
coupons, ever had with Mr.. Edwards,
was just before Christmas, according
to my recollection. He informed me,

The bonds were sold in open mar
ket, after repeated publication of the
terms of sale, most of them after every
legislator had been written to, asking
him if he had any objection to the
sales being made as they We're, to then
state it, by collect Geographic mes
sage and without hearing objection,
after this opportunity was afforded,

Neither state, nor city bonds, bear
ing less than per cent interest, with
out some accrued interest, could be
sold at face value, on any money
market in America, during the past
six months, as was indubitably proved.
Unless these bonds could be sold, and
without some accrued interest they
could not be sold, there was no other
alternative than to re-convene the Leg
islature, thus mourning not only its
cost, but also an increase of at least
$50, in the coupons attached to each
81 900 of bonds or else to leave unmet,
Confederate pensions and other sacred
state obligations.

After his telling me this, told him,
felt certain no trouble or litigation
would result from his payment of cou-
pons, and that he could be assured, If
any point were raised against him, on
that account, would protect him from
loss, to the extent of my legitimate
power. The largest bond buyer had
obtained legal opinion from cele-
brated Chicago firm of lawyers, and
also from the Attorney General, that
the bonds and coupons delivered to
purchasers, would be an absolutely
legal demand against this State.

is a slow process, requiring months,
usually, this time, and the accruing
interest, would be naturally an appre-
ciable factor.

Under these conditions, with which
the public, through newspapers, were
kept continually advised, all the bonds
were sold, part of them directly by the
Treasurer in whose vault the bonds
were kept, including purchases from
him effected by the President of the
First National Bank, Gen. ]. B. Stir
ling, by the President of the Capital
National Bank, Mr.. 2. d. Davis, both
of jackson, and by Mr.. T. B. hampton,
of Magnolia, as those gentlemen Will
attest. All of the purchases were
made upon the clear understanding,
that all attached coupons would be paid
in full, as was expressly stipulated in
Mr.. Lampton's letter to the Treasurer,
in making direct remittance to him Of
the purchase price, $4,000, and re-
questing the Treasurer to deliver, as
he did, the bonds to the First National
Bank, for Mr. hampton, on those
terms.
Some of the bonds sold and dellV-
i cred by Mr.. Edwards, were fully
signed before his delivery, others be-
| ing sent to me for signature. With
some of the sales he effected, had no
more connection than had he with
sales | effected, merely the giving oil
assent. The name and address OF
each purchaser, with the numbers oil
bonds allotted to him, was entered or
the books of the treasurers office be
fore the completion of the sale, con
shutting full record notice of eacf
sale, before its consummation. AS
sent and subsequent receipt of pur
chase price by the Treasurer was os
Isential to each sale.

Nothing was said, then, nor at any
time, except through Mr.. Edwards let
ter of January Z, 1911, which came to
the Governors office, while l was in
Washington, of any opinion of Judge
]. A. P. Campbell, nor of any other
opinion, except that of the Attorney
General who had advised that the cou-
pons attached to bonds sold, were a
legal demand against the State, for
their face value. Since Judge Camp
bells name has been brought into this
matter, feel privileged to say, he told
me, at a casual street meeting, since
the litigation arose, that, if the Treas
urer had paid the coupons, he had nc
idea the validity of his payments would
ever have been questioned.

A Fish Aids Science.

There appears to be no limit to SCI
entifc curiosity, especially in Ger
many. Not long ago a scientist of
Leipzig, wishing to ascertain whether
fish are warmer than the water they
live in, stuck a needle connected with
a thermoelectric circuit into a living
fish in an aquarium. The needle formed
one element Of the circuit, while the
other element was immersed in the
same water that contained the fish.
The latter was not seriously injured by
the needle and quickly became indif-
ferent to it. Then as the fish swan
about, carrying the needle, the ingen-
1ous savant closed the circuit and kept
watch Of the galvanometer. It show
ed no DETECTION whatever, from which
he concluded that the fish and the
water were precisely equal in tempera-
ture, for had either been warmer than
the other a current would have been
generated in the circuit Chicago Rec
