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. Winter Fashions Must Go!
