from loading papers of the State

of this excellent officer are duly
appreciated by a large majority of
the people of Georgia who will if

Good Words About The State
Treasurer From The State Press
NEVER A MORE EFFICIENT OFFICEU.
QuUmrn Reporter.
Hon. J. W. Renfroe, Btate treasur
er, is an unpretending gentleman, a
man worthy and well qualified for
the honorable position that he has so
ably filled. There liaB never been a
more efficient, more honest, and ca
pable man in churge of the state’s fi
nances. Ho, at tho earnest solici
tation of his host of friends, “and
their name is legion," has consented
to become a candidate for re-election
The people could not hope to do
better than to place him in the po
sition he has so well filled. His
name will bo found at our mast head
in the place of Hon. C. A. Nutting,
who has declined to become a can
didate.
A SUCCESSFUL FINANCIER.
Rome Tribune.
Upon this healthy condition of af
fairs the people of the State have
cause to rejoice—a condition of
thiugs that will reduce taxes in the
future and give to Georgia a name
and a credit that that will greatly
redound to her credit. Whatever
might have been said about Mr.
Renfroe, none can deny him credit
in this respect, and that the present
condition of affairs is due to his
prudence, economy and foresight
as a successful financier.
BELIEF THAT HIS ADMINISTRATION WILL
BE APPROVED.
Brunswick Seaport Appeal
Colonel Renfroe does not hesitate
to say to his friends that he is in tlieir
hands for nomination or defeat, at
the August convention, and we have
no hesitation in expressing the hope
and the belief that his administra
tion of the state’s finances will be ap
proved by the plain, honest, square
men of Georgia, by a triumphant vin -
dication in the covention and at the
polls.
DEVOTION TO HIS STATE.
Augusta Evening News.
We have received from State Treas
urer J. W. Renfroe, a copy of a cor
respondence between a number of the
leading business men of Rome,Thom
asville and Sandersville and theTroas
urer, asking him to become a can
didate for re-election to the same of
fice. Mr. Renfroe replies in an ex-
challengihg an impartial examina
tion of hiB official record, to show
that any act of his could lead to the
supposition that he ever entertained
a contrary view of tho fact which he
recognizes fully that a public officer
is the servant of the people. In de
votion to his state, and in official and
personal honesty and integrity, he
yields precedence to no man. Col
onel Renfroe closes his letter by say
ing tho ambition of his life has been
that his official acts might meet the
approbation of the people, and will
submit the question ns to whether he
shall again be a candidate for the of
fice of treasurer to the people ol
Georgia soon to meet in convention.
A MOST SUCCESSFL MANAGER.
Whatever may be said of TrenRiir-
J. W. Renfroe, he certainly lias man
aged the finances of the stato in n
most successful manner.
WILL HARDLY PAY TO THROW HIM ASIDE.
IMrian Gazelle.
Colonel John W. Renfroe, the effi
eient state treasurer, will probably be
re-elected, ns it would lmrdly pay
to throw aside a man who hns clone
so much to build up tho credit of our
state.
THE STATE NEVER n\D AN ABLER TREASURER
Monroe Advertiser.
Treasurer Renfroe, despite tho at
tempt to impeach nnd disgrace him,
has established tho fact that the state
never had an abler treasurer,nor one
who has managed our fiimcial affairs
with more skill anil success.
WATCHED THE INTEREST OF STATE.
Griffin News.
Notwithstanding the fight that was
made upon trr asurer Rc nfroe by tin*
the Inst legislature,he has been one of
most, faithful officers tho state has ev
er had for years. It is by his pru
dence and economical management
that tho state lias at this very time
funds amounting to a surplus of at
least $250,000 more than is uecces-
sary to meet the current and matur
ing obligations of the commonwealth.
It is a surplus fund that the state
will not need in twelve months.
Treasurer Renfroe, in advising the
governor of this fact wisely sugges
ted that tho amount of $250,000 he
devoted to the redemption of the
four per cent and such other bonds
iih could be redeemed at par. Treas
urer Renfroe has watched the inter
est of the stato very close since lie
has been in office, and his wise and
busines way of managing tho finan
ces of the state will lead to a further
reduction of taxes in the near future.

HONOR TO WHOM IIONOn IS DUE.
Rome Daily.
It is not always that a man in this
life receives his justdeRerts—“honor
to whom is due,” should be received,
as it is, a divine maxim. The state
of Gcojgia has until recently, been
in a state of great financial depres
sion. We presume not to find at
this time the cause that led to such n
condition, of affairs. Such disabil
ities had a tendency to greatly de
preciate the credit of tho empire
state. And such was its condition
until Mr. Renfroe, the present treas
urer, received his appointment. He
at once entered upon the duties of
his office. Perceiving as he did, the
chaos and confusion that enshroud
ed the entire treasury department,
ho betook himself to the task ol
steering clear of breakers and out of
tho difficulties, the ship of state, and
well and truly has he performed his
work; for in a very short period he
has shown himself one of the most
successful financiers the state of
Georgia has ever had. For not only
hns ho fully succeeded in settling all
old difficulties, but he now reports
in the treasury $260,000, more
than will be required to pay the prin
cipal and intex - est of the bonded
debt of the state becoming duo, dur
ing the current year, and all the an
nual charges against the treasury,
and now he is authorized by the gov
ernor to apply this surplus in re
deeming, to the extent of the sum
of $250,000, the outstanding four
per cent bonds, and suen other valid
bonds of the state, not due as can be
redeemed at par.
No wonder The Atlanta Constitu
tion says:
There is no state in the union to
day whose credit is higher or whose
bonds are more eagerly sought after.
Even those whose convictions com
pel them to criticise Treasurer Reu-
froe can afford to do him justice.
When he went into office the state
securities were selling below par up
on a dull market. To-day Georgia
6s are selling at 109; 7s rate from 112
to 117, according to maturity; and it
is impossible to buy 8s at 120. The
redemption of the baby bonds will re-
oaghton.
