passed, which it is not necessary for
me to now explain. As attorney of
the Bank I wiil take all the risk as
to the validity of the bonds if they
are issued with the approval of the
requisite number of qualified voters.
It it shall turn out that 1 am mistaken
it will be time enough to consider
what other plan can be adopted by
the authorities and people ot the
City of Milledgeville to pay this just
debt. I am sure they want to pay
it, and pay it as it becomes due, and
that if I have made a mistake as to
the proper way to do it, they will
help me to devise some other.

largest mercantile houses in tin's citv
who have millions at their disposal
and could pay every dollar they owe
on short notice, hate their paper
out in considerable qiianliti.s mere
ly to let it be known that they have
credit. Do they meet their obliga
tions promptly? Certainly, and bor
row more the next dav. Not that
they need it. Oh, no. But the time
may come when they will need it,
and they want it known that they
have been large borrowers and good
pay. It is a bard matter for a man in
RDy business to borrow money the
first time, but if lie be a regular bor
rower aud a prompt payer for years
be can get all the money he wants at
auy time. That is credit. Men who
do not nepd credit place themselves
in a position to get it If thev waut it.
That is one of the rules of ‘ commer

My excuse for noticing the article
is that I am attorney for the bank
and was consulted in reference to the
preparation of the special act of the
Legislature, authorizing the issue of
the proposed bonds provided the
requisite majority of the qualified
voters of the city of Milledgeville
shall approve such issue. My reply
to Colonel Crawford’s communica
tion shall be very brief. It is so
unsound, both iD morals and in law,
that no elaborate reply is necessary.
The simple fact is that the city of
Milledgeville, through its constituted
authorities, received and used $22,000
of the money of the bank, which the
bank asks the city to pay back.
The bank had nothing to do with
any arrangement between the city
and the state. With what justice
then, can Colonel Crawford, or any
one else, say to the bank, “you must
wait until the state pays to the city
a certain amount which we claim
the state ought to pay, before you
call on the city to repay what it owes
you?” I doubt not Colonel Craw
ford would think it strange if I,
owing him $10,000, borrowed money
should refuse to pay it hack until
Romeone else to whom I had lent
$5,000 ot it had paid me that
amount.
I am persuaded that the good
people of Milledgeville will not he
beguiled into such an act of injustice
as to repudiate the debt due to tlie
hank by the flippant manner in
which Col. Crawford has sought to
induce them to disregard the obliga
tion. I am loth to believe that lie
will himself, on sober, second
thought, vote against the bonds and
attempt to ease nis conscience by
any such false reasoning as that put
forth in Ins communication.
1 think if it should ever become
necessary, I can produce abundant
authority to show that although the
bonds now held by the hank may
have been illegally issued, the City
is liable, as a corporation, to repay
the hank the amount of money actu
ally borrowed and used, with legal
interest. I could now cite a number
of decisions, from courts of the high
est authority, to that effect, hut 1 do
not propose to discuss such questions
m the newspapers. As the attorney
of the Bank, I am not, conscious of
ever having threatened to bring suit
against the City. I do not think
such a suit will he necessary, because
I have confidence in the rectitude
and sense of justice of the people of
Milledgeville, and I believe they will
make provision for the payment of
the debt without litigation.
1 tlunk I know what I was about
when I advised, that a special Act be
procured to authorize the issue of
the proposed bonds. I still think
that was tlie proper course to pur
sue and feel no uneasiness about the
result of any attack which may here
after he made on its constitutionality.
I am quite sure, however, that if the
special Act should he declared un
constitutional, because there ‘is a
general Act which covers this case
(and this I understand is the ground
on which Col. Crawford bases his
opinion) the bonds wall he valid if
they are issued by authority of the
requisite number of the qualified
voters. The election is to be held m
strict accordance with the require
ments of the General Act, there be-
ing no variance between tlie general
and special Acts on this subject.
There was a particular reason, how^
evar, for having the special Act

Memoriul services in honor of Dr.

Rev. D. W. Brannen, the pastor,
presided. After singing by the choir
and reading of the 1st Psalm by the
B aator, prayer was offered by Rev. J.

The pastor after paying a fitting
tribute to Dr, Harris and reading a
letter from Dr. Powell regretting hie
inability to be present on acoonut of
illness, announced that Dr. Geo. D.
Case would speak of Dr, Harris from
the stand point of a physician.
Dr. Case then read a sketch of the
professional life of Dr, Harris in
which he paid a well merited tribute
to the beloved physician, whose skill,
kindness and sympathy marked his
successful practice and endeared him
in an esDeoial manner to his patients.
A good man—he honored his nhble
