                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              QUARTERS ENDED AUGUST 29, 1997 AND AUGUST 30, 1996
                                 (UNAUDITED)

1.         The foregoing unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect
   all  adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,  necessary
   to  a  fair  statement of the results for the interim periods.   All
   such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The results  for
   interim  periods  are not necessarily indicative of  results  to  be
   expected for the year.

2.         The financial information presented herein should be read in
   conjunction  with the consolidated financial statements included  in
   the  Registrant's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for  the  fiscal  year
   ended May 30, 1997.

3.    The  Company  is  involved  in certain  legal  matters  primarily
   arising  in  the  normal  course of business.   In  the  opinion  of
   management,  the  Company's liability under  any  of  these  matters
   would  not  materially affect its financial condition or results  of
   operations.

4.       In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS No. 128) "Earnings
   per  Share." The new standard simplifies the computation of earnings
   per   share  (EPS)  and  increases  comparability  to  international
   standards.   Under SFAS No. 128, primary EPS is replaced by  "Basic"
   EPS,  which  excludes dilution and is computed  by  dividing  income
   available  to common stockholders by the weighted-average number  of
   common  shares outstanding for the period. "Diluted" EPS,  which  is
   computed  similarly  to  fully diluted EPS, reflects  the  potential
   dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to  issue
   common stock were exercised or converted to common stock.

   The  Company  is required to adopt the new standard in its  year-end
   1998   financial  statements.   All  prior  period  EPS  information
   (including  interim EPS) is required to be restated  at  that  time.
   Early  adoption is not permitted.  Pro forma EPS, as if the  Company
   adopted SFAS No. 128 for each period presented are as follows:
     
                             For the quarters ended
                      August 29, 1997  August 30, 1996
       Basic EPS        $0.61             $0.40
       Diluted EPS      $0.61             $0.40

              Condition and Results of Operations.
                                
                      Results of Operations
                                
                                
NET SALES
     Net sales for the first quarter of the 1998 fiscal year,
which ended August 29, 1997, increased 12.0% from net sales for
the first quarter of the previous year.  Oxford Shirt Group sales
increased by 12.2%, the result of increased sales in Tommy
Hilfiger Golf, Tommy Hilfiger Dress Shirts, Oxsport and
Polo/Ralph Lauren for Boys offset by decreased sales in private
label dress shirts.  Lanier Clothes sales increased by 6.9%, the
result of increased sales in Oscar de la Renta and the initial
first quarter sales of Nautica offsetting decreased sales in
private label.  Oxford Slacks posted a sales increase of 16.3%,
primarily in specialty catalog.  The Oxford Womenswear Group
posted a sales increase of 13.7% primarily in the Sportswear
Collections division.

     The Company experienced an overall net sales unit volume
increase of 12.8% and an overall 0.6% decrease in the average net
sales price per unit.  Increased sales in the Oxford Womenswear
Group with a decreased average net sales price per unit slightly
offset increased sales in the licensed designer divisions with
increased average net sales price per unit.

COST OF GOODS SOLD
     Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 81.0% in
the first quarter of the current year as compared to 81.7% in the
first quarter of the prior year.  The decrease in cost of goods
sold as a percentage of net sales was due in part to increased
sales of higher margin lines.   Another factor contributing to
the decreased percentage of cost of goods sold was a 13.2%
reduction in the Company's domestic production capacity and a
9.4% increase in the Company's offshore production capacity from
the same period in the prior year.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
$2,109,000 to $26,795,000 or 13.9% of net sales in the first
quarter of the current year from $24,686,000 or 14.3% of net
sales in the first quarter of the prior year.  The two major
contributors to this increase were increased selling, general and
administrative expenses associated with the start-up of Geoffrey
Beene and Nautica tailored clothing and increased advertising
associated with licensed designer divisions.  Subsequent to the
end of the first quarter, one of the Company's customers, Bedford
Fair, filed for bankruptcy protection.  In the first quarter, the
Company had adequately provided for this subsequent event.

INTEREST EXPENSE
     Net interest expense declined by $115,000 to $981,000 or
0.5% of net sales in the first quarter of the current year from
$1,096,000 or 0.6% of net sales in the first quarter of the prior
year.  The slight reduction in interest expense is due to lower
average short-term borrowings.

INCOME TAXES
     The Company's effective tax rate was 39.0% in the first
quarter of the current year and 40.0% in the first quarter of the
previous year and does not differ significantly from the
Company's statutory rate.

FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS
     Although apparel sales at retail have improved during the
quarter, the Company has experienced a slowdown in wholesale
booking in some groups.  The Company continues to expect another
record year in sales and earnings, but will not maintain the high
percentage increases of the first quarter.






LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

OPERATING ACTIVITIES
     Operating activities used $36,094,000 during the first
quarter of the current year and used $22,891,000 in the first
quarter of the prior year.  The primary factors contributing to
this increased use of funds were a larger increase in accounts
receivable than in the prior year offset by a decrease in
inventory in the current quarter compared to a slight increase in
inventory in the prior year.  The increase in receivables and the
decrease in inventory are both functions of normal seasonal
activity.


INVESTING ACTIVITIES
     Investing activities used $1,711,000 in the current period
and $873,000 in the comparable period of the prior year.  The
change was the result of increased spending for capital
expenditures, primarily for the new Oxford Slacks manufacturing
facility in Mexico.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES
     Financing activities generated $38,758,000 in the first
quarter of the current year and generated $26,606,000 in the same
quarter of the previous year.  The primary difference was
increased short-term borrowing activity in the current year.

     On October 6, 1997 the Company's stockholders approved two
employee stock option plans, one restricted and one non-
restricted.

     On October 6, 1997 the Company's Board of Directors declared
a cash dividend of $.20 per share payable to shareholders of
record on November 14, 1997.

WORKING CAPITAL
     Working capital increased from $138,155,000 at the end of
the first quarter of the prior year to $150,640,000 at the end of
the 1997 fiscal year and increased to $155,432,000 at the end of
the first quarter of the current year.  The ratio of current
assets to current liabilities was 2.1 at the end of the first
quarter of the prior year, 2.6 at the end of the prior fiscal
year, and 2.2 at the end of the first quarter of the current
year.

FUTURE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     The Company believes it has the ability to generate cash
and/or has available borrowing capacity to meet its foreseeable
needs.  The sources of funds primarily include funds provided by
operations and both short-term and long-term borrowings.  The
uses of funds primarily include working capital requirements,
capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends and repayment of
short-term and long-term debt.  The Company regularly utilizes
committed bank lines of credit and other uncommitted bank
resources to meet working capital requirements.  On August 29,
1997, the Company had available for its use lines of credit with
several lenders aggregating $52,000,000.  The Company has agreed
to pay commitment fees for these available lines of credit.  On
August 29, 1997, $52,000,000 was in use under these lines.  Of
the $52,000,000, $40,000,000 is long-term.  In addition, the
Company has $186,000,000 in uncommitted lines of credit, of which
$98,000,000 is reserved exclusively for letters of credit.  The
Company pays no commitment fees for these available lines of
credit.  At August 29, 1997, $32,500,000 was in use under these
lines of credit.  Maximum borrowings from all these sources
during the first three months of the current year were
$84,500,000 of which $44,500,000 was short-term.  The Company
anticipates continued use and availability of both committed and
uncommitted resources as working capital needs may require.

     The Company considers possible acquisitions of apparel-
related businesses that are compatible with its long-term
strategies.  The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the
Company to purchase shares of the Company's common stock on the
open market and in negotiated trades as conditions and
opportunities warrant.  There are no present plans to sell
securities (other than through employee stock option plans and
other employee benefits)or enter into off-balance sheet financing
arrangements.

                         CORPORATE EXISTENCE
                         -------------------

            The corporation shall have perpetual duration.

                                 III.

                    CORPORATE PURPOSES AND POWERS
                    -----------------------------

      The purpose of the corporation shall be to manufacture, purchase
and sell garments and clothing of all kinds; to manufacture, purchase
and sell dictation equipment and other business machines and equipment
of all kinds; to deal generally in properties of every kind or
description, tangible or intangible, real, personal or mixed; and to

                                 IV.

                            CAPITAL STOCK
                            -------------

      A.   General.  The total number of shares of capital stock which
the corporation shall have authority to issue is sixty million
(60,000,000), of which thirty million (30,000,000) shall be common
stock of $1 par value per share and of which thirty million
(30,000,000) shall be preferred stock of $1 par value per share.  The
authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock
shall be available for issuance and sale at any time and from time to
time, either in whole or in part, and upon such terms and conditions
and for such consideration, not less than the par value thereof, as may
be provided by the Board of Directors of the corporation.

     B.   Common Stock.  The common stock shall be deemed to be stock
entitled to vote within the meaning of any of the provisions of the
laws of the State of Georgia and each holder of common stock shall, at
every meeting of stockholders, be entitled to one vote, in person or by
proxy, for each share of such stock held by him.

     C.   Preferred Stock.  The following is a description of the
terms, provisions, preferences, rights, voting powers, restrictions and
limitations of the preferred stock:

          (1)  Dividends on the preferred stock shall be cumulative.

          (2)  The preferred stock shall rank superior to the common
     stock both as to the payment of dividends (other than dividends
     payable solely in shares of common stock) and as to amounts
     distributable upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the
     corporation.

          (3)  At any time after full cumulative dividends for all
     previous dividend periods shall have been paid on the preferred
     stock and each other class of stock (if any) ranking superior to
     or in parity with the preferred stock as to dividends, and after
     declaring and making provision for the payment in full of the
     quarterly dividends for the current dividend period on the
     preferred stock and on each other class of stock ranking superior
     to or in parity with the preferred stock as to dividends, and
     after all requirements with respect to any purchase, retirement or
     sinking fund or funds for all series of the preferred stock and
     each other class of stock ranking superior to or in parity with
     the preferred stock have been complied with, then, but not prior
     thereto, out of any funds of the corporation lawfully available
     therefor, dividends may be declared and paid on the class or
     classes of stock junior to the preferred stock as to dividends,
     subject to the respective terms and provisions (if any) applying
     thereto.  The provisions of this paragraph shall not be applicable
     to dividends payable solely in shares of common stock to holders
     of the common stock.  If at any time the corporation shall fail to
     pay full cumulative dividends on any shares of the preferred stock
     or on any other class of stock ranking superior to or in parity
     with the preferred stock, or if at any time the corporation shall
     be in default under the requirements with respect to any purchase,
     retirement or sinking fund or funds applicable to any series of
     the preferred stock or any other class of stock ranking superior
     to or in parity with the preferred stock, thereafter until such
     dividends shall have been paid or declared and set apart for
     payment and any other such default remedied, the corporation shall
     not purchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire for consideration any
     shares of any class of stock then  outstanding and ranking in
     parity with or junior to the preferred stock.

          (4)  In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation
     of the corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the
     debts and other liabilities of the corporation, after making
     provision for preferred stock superior to the preferred stock as
     to payments upon liquidation and before any distribution to the
     holders of the common stock or any subordinate preferred stock,
     the holders of each series of the preferred stock shall be
     entitled to receive out of the net assets of the corporation an
     amount in cash for each share equal to the amount fixed and
     determined by the Board of Directors in the resolution providing
     for the issuance of the particular series of preferred stock, plus
     all dividends accumulated and unpaid on each such share of
     preferred stock up to the date fixed for distribution, and no
     more.  If the above-stated amount payable to the holders of the
     preferred stock cannot be paid in full, the holders of the shares
     of preferred stock shall share ratably in any distribution of
     assets in proportion to the sums which would have been paid to
     them upon such distribution if all sums payable to holders of the
     preferred stock and all classes of stock in parity with the
     preferred stock were paid and discharged in full.  For the
     purposes of this paragraph, the voluntary sale, conveyance, lease,
     exchange or transfer of all or substantially all the property or
     assets of the corporation or a consolidation or merger of the
     corporation with one or more other corporations (whether or not
     the corporation is the corporation surviving such consolidation or
     merger) shall not be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary
     liquidation.

          (5)  For purposes hereof, any class or classes of stock shall
     be deemed to rank (i) superior to the preferred stock, either as
     to dividends or as to distributions in liquidation, if the holders
     of such class or classes shall be entitled to the receipt of
     dividends or to the receipt of amounts distributable upon
     liquidation of the corporation, as the case may be, in preference
     or priority to the holders of the preferred stock; (ii) in parity
     with the preferred stock, either as to dividends or as to
     distributions in liquidation, whether or not the dividend rates,
     dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per
     share thereof be different from those of the preferred stock, if
     the holders of such class or classes of stock shall be entitled to
     the receipt of dividends or to the receipt of amounts
     distributable upon liquidation of the corporation, as the case may
     be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or
     liquidation prices, without preference or priority one over the
     other with respect to the holders of the preferred stock; and
     (iii) junior to the preferred stock, either as to dividends or as
     to distributions in liquidation, if the rights of the holders of
     such class or classes shall be subject or subordinate to the
     rights of the holders of the preferred stock in respect of receipt
     of dividends (other than dividends payable in shares of common
     stock) or to the receipt of amounts distributable upon liquidation
     of the corporation, as the case may be.

          (6)  All shares of preferred stock shall be identical except
     that the Board of Directors of the corporation is hereby expressly
     authorized and empowered to divide the preferred stock into one or
     more series, and, prior to the issuance of any of such shares in
     any particular series, to fix and determine, in the manner
     provided by law, the following provisions of such series:

               (a)  The distinctive designation of such series and the
          number of shares to be included in such series;

               (b)  The rate of dividend, the times of payment and the
          date from which the dividends shall be accumulated;

               (c)  Whether shares can be redeemed and, if so, the
          redemption price and the terms and conditions of redemption;

               (d)  The amount payable upon shares in the event of
          voluntary or involuntary liquidation;

               (e)  Purchase, retirement or sinking fund provisions, if
          any, for the redemption or purchase of shares;

               (f)  The terms and conditions, if any, on which shares
          may be converted;

               (g)  Whether or not shares have voting rights, and the
          extent of any such voting rights, which rights may include,
          without limitation, the right to vote generally with the
          common stock for the election of members of the Board of
          Directors and on other matters and/or the right, either
          generally or upon the occurrence of specified circumstances,
          to vote specially as a class for the election of one or more
          members of the Board of Directors; and

               (h)  Any other preferences, rights, restrictions and
          qualifications of shares of such class or series permitted by
          law and these Articles of Incorporation.

          (7)  After the Board of Directors of the corporation has
     established a series in accordance with the terms of applicable
     law and these Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors
     may at any time and from time to time increase or decrease the
     number of shares contained in such series, but not below the
     number of shares thereof then issued, by adopting a resolution
     making such change.

          (8)  Each share of preferred stock within an individual
     series shall be identical in all respects with the other shares of
     such series, except as to the date, if any, from which dividends
     thereon shall accumulate and other details which because of the
     passage of time are required to be made in order for the
     substantive rights of the holders of the shares of such series to
     be identical.

     D.   Miscellaneous.  Except as otherwise provided in these
Articles of Incorporation, and in addition to the powers conferred on
the Board of Directors by Article VI of these Articles of
Incorporation, the Board of Directors shall have authority to cause the
corporation to issue from time to time, without any vote or other
action by the stockholders, any or all shares of stock of the
corporation of any class or series at any time authorized, and any
securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such shares, and
any options, rights or warrants to purchase or acquire any such shares,
in each case to such persons and on such terms (including as a dividend
or distribution on or with respect to, or in connection with a split or
combination of, the outstanding shares of stock or the same or any
other class or series) as the Board of Directors from time to time in
its discretion lawfully may determine; provided, that the consideration
for the issuance of shares of stock of the corporation (unless issued
as such a dividend or distribution or in connection with such a split
or combination) shall not be less than the par value of such shares.
Shares so issued shall be fully-paid stock, and the holders of such
stock shall not be liable to any further calls or assessments thereon.






                                  V.
                      DENIAL OF PREEMPTIVE RIGHT

to purchase any shares of stock or other securities issued by the
corporation.

                                 VI.

                       STOCK RIGHTS OR OPTIONS
                       -----------------------

     The corporation shall have the power to create and issue, whether
or not in connection with the issuance and sale of any of its shares or
other securities, warrants and other rights or options entitling the
holders thereof to purchase from the corporation, for such
consideration and upon such terms and conditions as may be fixed by the
Board of Directors, shares of common stock of the corporation, whether
authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.
                                 VII.

                  DEALINGS IN SHARES OF CORPORATION
                  ---------------------------------

     The corporation shall have the full power to purchase and

granted by the laws of the State of Georgia and shall have the right to
purchase its shares out of its unreserved and unrestricted capital
surplus available therefor, as well as out of its unreserved and
unrestricted earned surplus available therefor.

                                VIII.

                  DISTRIBUTIONS FROM CAPITAL SURPLUS
                  ----------------------------------

     Subject to the provisions of Section 22-512 of the Georgia

to distribute a portion of the assets of the corporation, in cash or in
property, to holders of shares of the corporation out of the capital
surplus of the corporation.

                                 IX.

                                  X.

                         FAIR PRICE PROVISION
                         --------------------

     A.   Business Combination Approval.  In addition to any vote
otherwise required by law, these Articles of Incorporation or any
resolution of the Board of Directors pursuant to which preferred stock
is issued, and except as expressly provided in this Article X, a
Business Combination shall be (a) unanimously approved by the
Continuing Directors, provided that the Continuing Directors constitute
at least three members of the Board of Directors at the time of such
approval, or (b) recommended by at least two-thirds of the Continuing
Directors and approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast
by holders of Voting Shares, other than Voting Shares beneficially
owned by the Interested Shareholder who is, or whose Affiliate is, a
party to the Business Combination.

     B.   Exception to Approval Requirements.  As used in this
paragraph B, the term "Interested Shareholder" refers to the Interested
Shareholder which is a party to, or an Affiliate of which is a party
to, the Business Combination in question.  The vote required by
paragraph A of this Article X does not apply to a Business Combination
if each of the following conditions is met:

          (1)  Minimum Value.  The aggregate amount of cash, and the
     Fair Market Value as of five days before the consummation of the
     Business Combination of consideration other than cash, to be
     received per share by holders of any class of common shares or any
     class or series of preferred shares in such Business Combination
     is at least equal to the highest of the following:  (a) the
     highest per share price, including any brokerage commissions,
     transfer taxes, and soliciting dealers' fees, paid by the
     Interested Shareholder for any shares of the same class or series
     acquired by it (i) within the two-year period immediately prior to
     the Announcement Date, or (ii) in the transaction in which it
     became an Interested Shareholder, whichever is higher; (b) the
     Fair Market Value per share of such class or series as determined
     on the Announcement Date and as determined on the Determination
     Date, whichever is higher; or (c) in the case of shares other than
     common shares, the highest preferential amount per share to which
     the holders of shares of such class or series are entitled in the
     event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or
     winding up of the corporation; provided that this clause (c) shall
     only apply if the Interested Shareholder has acquired shares of
     such class or series within the two-year period immediately prior
     to the Announcement Date;

          (2)  Form of Consideration.  The consideration to be received
     by holders of any class or series of outstanding shares is to be
     in cash or in the same form as the Interested Shareholder has
     previously paid for shares of the same class or series.  If the
     Interested Shareholder has paid for shares of any class or series
     of shares with varying forms of consideration, the form of
     consideration for such class or series of shares shall be either
     cash or the form used to acquire the largest number of shares of
     such class or series previously acquired by the Interested
     Shareholder;


          (3)  Procedural Requirements.  After the Interested
     Shareholder has become an Interested Shareholder and prior to the
     consummation of such Business Combination:
               (a)  Unless approved by a majority of the Continuing
          Directors, there shall have been (i) no failure to declare
          and pay at the regular date therefor any full periodic
          dividends, whether or not cumulative, on any outstanding
          preferred shares of the corporation, (ii) no reduction in the
          annual rate of dividends paid on any class of common shares,
          except as necessary to reflect any subdivision of the shares,
          (iii) an increase in such annual rate of dividends as is
          necessary to reflect any reclassification, including any
          reverse share split, recapitalization, reorganization, or any
          similar transaction which has the effect of reducing the
          number of outstanding shares, and (iv) no increase in the
          Interested Shareholder's percentage ownership of any class or
          series of shares of the corporation by more than one percent
          in any 12-month period;

               (b)  The provisions of clauses (a)(i) and (ii) of this
          subparagraph (3) shall not apply if the Interested
          Shareholder or an Affiliate or Associate of the Interested
          Shareholder did not vote as a director of the corporation in
          a manner inconsistent with clauses (a)(i) and (ii) of this
          subparagraph (3) and the Interested Shareholder within ten
          days after any act or failure to act inconsistent with
          clauses (a)(i) and (ii) of this subparagraph (3), notified
          the Board of Directors of the corporation in writing that the
          Interested Shareholder disapproved thereof and requested in
          good faith that the Board of Directors rectify the act or
          failure to act; and

          (4)  Dealings Between the Corporation and an Interested
     Shareholder.  After the Interested Shareholder has become an
     Interested Shareholder, the Interested Shareholder has not
     received the benefit, directly or indirectly, except
     proportionately as a stockholder, of any loans, advances,
     guarantees, pledges, or other financial assistance, or any tax
     credits or other tax advantages provided by the corporation or any
     of its subsidiaries, whether in anticipation of or in connection
     with such Business Combination or otherwise.

                                 XI.









                          BOARD OF DIRECTORS
                          ------------------

     A.   Number.  The Board of Directors of the corporation shall
consist of nine or more members.  The number of directors shall be
fixed by the Bylaws.  Such number may be increased, or decreased to no
less than nine, by amendment to the Bylaws either by the Board of
Directors or by the vote of the holders of seventy-five (75%) percent
of the corporation's outstanding capital stock entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, voting as a single class.

     B.   Classes.  The Board of Directors shall be divided into three
classes (not to include directors that may be elected under these
Articles of Incorporation or resolutions of the Board of Directors by
the holders of preferred stock), each class to be as nearly equal in
number as possible, designated Class I, Class II and Class III.  At the
1986 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Class I directors shall be elected
for a one-year term, Class II directors shall be elected for a two-year
term, and Class III directors shall be elected for a three-year term.
Directors shall serve until the annual meeting of stockholders held in
the year during which their terms expire and until their successors are
elected and qualified.  At each annual meeting after 1986, directors
shall be elected for three-year terms to succeed those whose terms
expire at such meeting.  Directors shall serve until their terms expire
and until their successors are elected and qualified, subject, however,
to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal
from office.  Any increase or decrease in the number of directors shall
be so apportioned among the classes as to make all classes as nearly
equal in number as possible.  When the number of directors is increased
and any newly created directorships are filled by the Board of
Directors, there shall be no classification of the additional
directors, and such additional directors shall only serve, until the
next election of directors by the corporation's stockholder.

     C.   Removal of Directors.  Any director may be removed from
office, with or without cause, by a vote of a majority of the total
number of members of the Board of Directors without including the
director who is the subject of the removal determination.  Such
director shall not be entitled to vote with respect to his removal.
Any director or the full Board of Directors may be removed from office,
with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of
seventy-five (75%) percent of the Corporation's outstanding capital
stock entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting as a single
class.

     D.   Vacancies.  Any vacancy in the Board of Directors resulting
from an increase in the number of directors may be filled by a majority
of directors then in office, provided a quorum is present.  Any other
vacancy may be filled by a majority of directors then in office, though
less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director, as the case may
be, or, if no director remains, by the affirmative vote of the holders
of a majority of the corporation's outstanding capital stock entitled
to vote generally  in the election of directors, voting as a single
class, and any director so elected shall serve for the full unexpired
term of his predecessor.





     E.   Exceptions for Directors Elected by Particular Class or
Series of Capital Stock.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Article XI, whenever the holders of any one or more classes or series
of preferred stock issued by this corporation shall have the right,
voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual
or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office,
filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be
governed by the terms of these Articles of Incorporation applicable
thereto, and by the terms of the resolutions of the Board of Directors
pursuant to which such preferred stock is issued, and such directors so
elected shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Article XI
unless expressly provided by such terms.

     F.   Special Meetings of Stockholders.  Special meetings of the
corporation's stockholders may be called by the Chairman of the Board
of Directors, the President, the Board of Directors, the holders of
seventy-five (75%) percent of the corporation's outstanding capital
stock entitled to vote in the election of directors (voting as a single
class), or, in the event there are no directors, any stockholder.

     G.   Amendment or Repeal of this Article.  Notwithstanding any
other provision of these Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the
corporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of seventy-five (75%)
percent of the corporation's outstanding capital stock entitled to vote
in the election of directors, voting as a single class, shall be
required to amend, alter, change or repeal this Article XI or to adopt
any provision as part of these Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws
of the corporation inconsistent with this Article XI.

                                 XII.

                  LIMITATION OF DIRECTORS' LIABILITY
                  ----------------------------------

     No director of the corporation shall be personally liable to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of duty
of care or other duty as a director; provided, however, that this
Article shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i)
for any appropriation, in violation of his duties, of any business
opportunity of the corporation; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law; (iii) for the types of liability set forth in Section 14-2-154 of
the Georgia Business Corporation Code; or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  If the
Georgia Business Corporation Code is amended after approval of this
Article by the corporation's stockholders to authorize corporate action
further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors,
then the liability of a director of the corporation shall be eliminated
or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Georgia Business
Corporation Code, as so amended.  Neither the amendment or repeal of
this Article nor the adoption of any provision of these Articles of
Incorporation inconsistent with this Article shall eliminate or
adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the
corporation existing immediately prior to such amendment, repeal or
adoption.

                                    Date   August 15, 1997




  The "Bank' referred to in this Note is SunTrust Bank,
Atlanta, Center Code 126  One Park Place, N.E., Atlanta,
Georgia 30303.



              545      days after date, the obligor
promises to pay to the order of Bank the principal sum
of $    40,000,000.00.  The obligor will also pay
interest upon the unpaid principal balance from date
until maturity at the Note Rate specified below.
Interest payments will

 be due on      February 11, 1999  and upon maturity.
Should the obligor fail for any reason to pay this note
in full  on the maturity date or on the date of
acceleration of payment, the obligor further promises to
pay (a) interest on the unpaid amount from such date
until the date of final payment at a Default Rate equal
to the Note Rate plus 4%, and (b) a late fee equal to
five percent (5%) of any amount that remains  wholly or
partially unpaid for more than fifteen (15) days after
such amount was due and payable, not to exceed the sum
of fifty dollars ($50.00). Should  legal action or an
attorney at law be utilized to collect any amount due
hereunder, the obligor further promises to pay all costs
of collection, including  15% of such unpaid amount as
attorneys' fees.  All amounts due hereunder may be paid
at any office of Bank.

  The Note Rate hereon shall be  to be determined
                                 ----------------


  If not stated above, the Note Rate in effect on the
date this note is executed is _______%
     The amount of interest accruing and payable
hereunder shall be calculated by multiplying the
principal balance outstanding each day by 1/360th  of
the Note Rate on such day and adding together the daily
interest amounts.  The principal balance of this note
shall conclusively be deemed to be the  unpaid principal
balance appearing on the Bank's records unless such
records are manifestly in error.
           As security for the payment of this and any
other liability of any obligor to the holder, direct or
contingent, irrespective of the nature of such
liability or the time it arises, each obligor hereby
grants a security interest to the holder in all property
of such obligor in or coming into the possession,
control or custody of the holder, or in which the holder
has or hereafter acquires a lien, security interest, or
other right.  Upon default, holder may, without notice,
immediately take possession of and then sell or
otherwise dispose of the collateral, signing any
necessary documents as obligor's attorney in  fact, and
apply the proceeds against any liability of obligor to
holder.  Upon demand, each obligor will furnish such
additional collateral, and execute any  appropriate
documents related thereto, deemed necessary by the
holder for its security. Each obligor further authorizes
the holder, without notice, to  set-off any deposit or
account and apply any indebtedness due or to become due
from the holder to the obligor in satisfaction of any
liability described  in this paragraph, whether or not
matured.  The holder may, without notice, transfer or
register any property constituting security for this
note into its  or its nominee name with or without any
indication of its security interest therein.
           This note shall immediately mature and become
due and payable, without notice or demand, upon the
filing of any petition or the commencement of any
proceeding by any Debtor for relief under bankruptcy or
insolvency laws, or any law relating to the relief of
debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, debtor
reorganization, or composition or extension of debt.
Furthermore, this note shall, at the option of the
holder, immediately mature and  become due and payable,

or indebtedness, and release any other Debtor from
liability, without releasing such obligor from any
liability to  the holder.  This note is governed By
