PART II.  INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT


ITEM 3.   INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

     The following documents are incorporated by reference into this
Registration Statement and are deemed to be a part hereof from the date
of the filing of such documents:

     (1)  The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year
ended December 31, 1995.

     (2)  All other reports of the Registrant filed pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year
covered by the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal
year ended December 31, 1995.

     (3)  The description of Common Stock contained in the Registration
Statement on Form 8-A, filed on April 30, 1984, as amended by a Form 8
filed on August 19, 1988, including all amendments or reports filed for
the purpose of updating such description.

     (4)  All other documents subsequently filed by the Registrant
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior
to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities
that remain unsold.

ITEM 5.   INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     Certain legal matters with respect to the validity of the shares of
Common Stock being registered hereby will be passed upon for the Company
by Raymond S. Willoch in his capacity as Vice President, General Counsel
and Secretary of the Registrant.

ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     As provided under Georgia law, the Registrant's Amended Articles of
Incorporation provide that a director shall not be personally liable to
the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of
duty of care or any other duty owed to the Registrant as a director,
except that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of
a director (a) for any appropriation, in violation of his duties, of any
business opportunity of the Registrant, (b) for acts or omissions which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) for
unlawful corporate distributions, or (d) for any transaction from which
the director received an improper benefit.

     Under Article VII of the Registrant's Amended Bylaws, the Registrant
is authorized to indemnify its officers and directors for any liability
and expense incurred by them in connection with or resulting from any
threatened, pending or completed legal action or other proceeding or
investigation by reason of his being or having been an officer or
director.  An officer or director may only be indemnified if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to a
criminal matter, he did not have reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.  No officer or director who has been adjudged
liable for the improper receipt of a personal benefit is entitled to
indemnification.

<PAGE>
     Any officer or director who has been wholly successful on the merits
or otherwise in an action or proceeding in his official capacity is
entitled to indemnification as to expenses by the Registrant as of right. 
All other determinations in respect of indemnification shall be made by
either:  (i) a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors; (ii)
independent legal counsel selected in accordance with the Bylaws and at
the request of the Board; or (iii) the holders of a majority of the
Registrant's stock who at such time are entitled to vote for the election
of directors.

     The provisions of the Registrant's Bylaws on indemnification are
consistent in all material respects with the laws of the State of
Georgia, which authorize indemnification of corporate officers and
directors.

     The Registrant's directors and officers are insured against losses
arising from any claim against them as such for wrongful acts or
omissions, subject to certain limitations.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

     (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement, to
include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
<PAGE>
Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement; (2) that, for the purpose of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-
effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof; (3) to remove from
registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

     (b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (c)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver
or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to
whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to
security holders that is incorporated by reference in the
prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements
of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934; and, where interim financial information required to be
presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the
prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person
to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly
report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the
prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

     (d)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

ITEM 3.   INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

     The following documents are incorporated by reference into this
Registration Statement and are deemed to be a part hereof from the date
of the filing of such documents:

     (1)  The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year
ended December 31, 1995.

     (2)  All other reports of the Registrant filed pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year
covered by the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal
year ended December 31, 1995.

     (3)  The description of Common Stock contained in the Registration
Statement on Form 8-A, filed on April 30, 1984, as amended by a Form 8
filed on August 19, 1988, including all amendments or reports filed for
the purpose of updating such description.

     (4)  All other documents subsequently filed by the Registrant
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior
to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities
that remain unsold.

ITEM 5.   INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     Certain legal matters with respect to the validity of the shares of
Common Stock being registered hereby will be passed upon for the Company
by Raymond S. Willoch in his capacity as Vice President, General Counsel
and Secretary of the Registrant.

ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     As provided under Georgia law, the Registrant's Amended Articles of
Incorporation provide that a director shall not be personally liable to
the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of
duty of care or any other duty owed to the Registrant as a director,
except that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of
a director (a) for any appropriation, in violation of his duties, of any
business opportunity of the Registrant, (b) for acts or omissions which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) for
unlawful corporate distributions, or (d) for any transaction from which
the director received an improper benefit.

     Under Article VII of the Registrant's Amended Bylaws, the Registrant
is authorized to indemnify its officers and directors for any liability
and expense incurred by them in connection with or resulting from any
threatened, pending or completed legal action or other proceeding or
investigation by reason of his being or having been an officer or
director.  An officer or director may only be indemnified if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to a
criminal matter, he did not have reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.  No officer or director who has been adjudged
liable for the improper receipt of a personal benefit is entitled to
indemnification.
Any officer or director who has been wholly successful on the merits
or otherwise in an action or proceeding in his official capacity is
entitled to indemnification as to expenses by the Registrant as of right. 
All other determinations in respect of indemnification shall be made by
either:  (i) a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors; (ii)
independent legal counsel selected in accordance with the Bylaws and at
the request of the Board; or (iii) the holders of a majority of the
Registrant's stock who at such time are entitled to vote for the election
of directors.

     The provisions of the Registrant's Bylaws on indemnification are
consistent in all material respects with the laws of the State of
Georgia, which authorize indemnification of corporate officers and
directors.

     The Registrant's directors and officers are insured against losses
arising from any claim against them as such for wrongful acts or
omissions, subject to certain limitations.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

     (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement, to
include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement; (2) that, for the purpose of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-
effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof; (3) to remove from
registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

     (b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (c)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver
or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to
whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to
security holders that is incorporated by reference in the
prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements
of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934; and, where interim financial information required to be
presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the
prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person
to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly
report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the
prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

     (d)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
