IS FINALLY SETTLED
Dealers Who So Elect May Give
Bends for Payment Later, But
Stamps Must Be Used By -All
ATLANTA, Jan. 21.—The super
edeas which has been the subject of
controversy between the attorney
general and counsel for retail to
bacco dealers, growing out of de
nial of the stamp tax injunction,
was settled on Saturday by an or
der prepared by Albert Howell, at
torney for the plaintiffs, and sign
ed by Judge George L. Bell, of Ful
ton superior court, who tried the
case.
The attorney general contended
that while the appeal was pending
and until it was finally decided
the dealers should be required to
pay cash for all stamps obtained
by them and should not be permit
ted any advantage denied dealers
not parties to the litigation.
Under the terms of the supersed
eas order granted by Judge Bell,
none of the dealers who are now
plaintiffs, or who may be hereafter
made parties plaintiff, are requir
ed to pay for stamps obtained by
them, but such dealers are permit
ted and required to obtain stamps
and attach them to goods offered
for sale upon execution of a bond
conditioned to pay for such stamps
if the supreme court should finally
sustain th?: tax.
The order provides that the pro
curing of stamps and giving of bond
shall not affect any rights of the
litigants, and provides that any of
the plaintiffs who may desire to do
so may pay cash for stamps pro
cured by them.
It is further provided that Hon.
John M. Vandiver is appointed
custodian of the court to accept and
deposit in the Fourth National Bank
of Atlanta any funds resulting from
the voluntary payment of such
taxes.
