Money borrowed.
Governor Smith Saturday ne¬
gotiated a loan for fifty thousand
dollars for the state. He borrow¬
ed the money of the Fourth Na¬
tional Bank, Atlanta. The money
was needed to meet a casual defi¬
ciency in the state treasury, and
more will likely be borrowed be¬
fore the first of the year.
The funds of the state always
run short during the last quarter
of the year, aud it has been cus¬
tomary for many years for the
state to borrow money along in
October and November.
The money from taxes does not
begin to come in until December,
and October and November are
always lean months, financially.
Owing to the paucity of funds,
the last quarterly pension pay¬
ment will not be made until the
1st day of December—just be-
fore the holidays, so that the old
veterans will be fixed to enjoy
Christmas.-—Atlanta Journal.
