State Debt Must Be
Refunded, of Course,
Says GOvernor-Elect
Georgia Bonds Fine Investment,
So Little Trouble Should
Be Experienced.

"There is no question of what is to bc
done about the state debt which falls
due in 1918" said John NJ. Slaton, gov
ernor-e elect. to-day The debt, Of
course. must be refunded. The only
matters to be arranged are the details,
such as the terms, and the term OF
years of the bonds.
There ought 10 be no trouble about
the floating Of the issue. The credit of
the state of Georgia ought to be the
best of any state in the Union. Georgia
always has met its obligations on the
minute, and has pledged the entire
public property of the state to payment
Of its bonded debt. The railroad alone
is worth many times the state debt, and
under the law the bonded debt can not
be increa sed
"A legislative committee, acting in
conjunction with the governor and the
state treasurer, ought to be able easily
to arrange the date of the issue, the
rate of interest, and all necessary de-
tails. The bonds should run a sufficient
number Of years to make them an at
tractive investment, and for the sink
ing fund to liquidate them at maturity"
Atlanta bankers say bonds of the
state are an unusually favored invest
ment, and that an issue of $4,000 can
he absorbed right in the state.

SHOT TO KILL
Clarence SydnOr Killed in a
Pool Hall.
James Mccoy Did the Shoot
ing-BOth Negroes.

Clarence Sydnor was shot and killed
by James Mccoy in a pool hall at 404
Kansas avenue at noon today. The
shooting put an end to an argument
over money matters concerning the
pool hall. Sydnor dropped at the
door and died within a few minutes.
Mccoy surrendered to Charles Lytle,
deputy marshal of the county court.
All are colored.
The nature of the argument be-
tween the two men is not definitely
known. 1t involved about $500 or
less but that is all that has been de-
termined. Sydnor was manager of
the pool hall until a short time ago.
He was succeeded by Mccoy and the
money which caused the argument is
said to be the amount due on some
bill that Sydnor failed to pay. How
ever this has not been affirmed.
Mccoy is reported to have been
standing fifteen or twenty feet from
the door of the pool hall when he shot
at Sydnor. The shot was fired from
revolver of large caliber. Mccoy
fired but one shot. 1t struck Sydnor
in the forehead and passed through
his head.
Arthur Ransom and William Jen-
nings were the only witnesses. A
number of men were playing pool in
the rear end of the building, but knew
nothing of the affair until they heard
the report of the gun.
