haven't changed in the last one-hundred years... Letter from:
ARTHUR
HOOD,
ATTORNEY AT LAW,
CUTHBERT, GA
Nov 11.
'99. Transcription My dear Mr Sutton, Enclosed your Bill
introduced in the House - the passage of which will kill any Country Bank in State -
will drive out all money (that is to loan) from the State. No loan company or anything
else can do business under any such law. I trust if it ever comes to light that you will
aid in killing it out. I see also in tax Bill an effort to tax capital stock of
Bank for full amount and then also tax additional Real Estate. For our Bank for
instance, 1.4 of our stock is in Real Estate and if we had to pay a large it would make
us pay twice as large part of our capital. I hope you will specially keep this in
mind. The Prohibitionists here are fighting our dispensary, all petitions from
women and children have given info. You know Dews was elected on whiskey issue and every
mant hat has gone up. John Yurr Homerbish & Buck Jones fought Dews. I will come up
if you say so. Hope you are well, Yours, Arthur Hood |
