                                                 -3-
<PAGE>
     As part of the Robinson Acquisition, Mr. Joseph H. Robinson,
Jr., an officer, director and principal shareholder of the
Selling Shareholder, entered into a Management Agreement with the
Company and a subsidiary of the Company pursuant to which he
agreed to provide certain managerial and consulting services to
the Company and its affiliates for a period of three years from
the closing date.  Under the Management Agreement, the Company
and its affiliates will pay Robinson, in the aggregate, $500,000
for each year of the Management Agreement, such payments being
due on January 2 of 1996, 1997 and 1998.

     The Shares, which represent approximately 1.2% of the issued
and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, include all
of the securities of the Company beneficially  owned by the
Selling Shareholder immediately prior to this offering.  After
the offering has been completed, the Selling Shareholder will own
no shares of the Company's Common Stock.


                         PLAN OF OFFERING

     The Selling Shareholder and its pledgees and donees may sell
the Shares described above from time to time as market conditions
permit in The Nasdaq Stock Market, or otherwise, at prices and on
terms then prevailing or in negotiated transactions.  The Shares
may be sold by one or more of the following methods:

     (a)  a block trade in which a broker or dealer so engaged
will attempt to sell the Shares as agent, but may position and
resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction;

     (b)  purchases by a broker or a dealer (including a market
maker) as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its
account pursuant to this Prospectus;

     (c)  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in
which the broker solicits purchasers; and

     (d)  face to face transactions between sellers and
purchasers without a broker-dealer.

     In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the
Selling Shareholder may arrange for other brokers or dealers to
participate.  Such brokers or dealers may receive commissions or
discounts from the Selling Shareholder in amounts to be
negotiated.  Such brokers and dealers and any other participating
brokers or dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.


                     SECURITIES TO BE OFFERED

     The Shares offered hereby are shares of Common Stock, $.10
per value per share, of the Company.  The Company's Common Stock

Shares offered hereby will be passed upon by Kilpatrick & Cody,
Atlanta, Georgia.  As of April 12, 1996, attorneys of Kilpatrick
& Cody who worked on this matter beneficially owned 8,211 shares
of the Company's Common Stock.

                         INDEMNIFICATION

     As provided under Georgia law, the Company's Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that a director shall
not be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders
for monetary damages for breach of duty of care or any other duty
owed to the corporation 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 corporation, (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.

     Articles VII of the Bylaws of the Company authorize
indemnification of the Company's 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 Company, 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 negligence or misconduct in the performance of his corporate
duties is entitled to indemnification, unless and except to the
extent that the court reaching such a determination of liability,
in view of all the relevant circumstances, shall also determine
that despite such liability such person is fairly and reasonably
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 by the Company
as of right.  All other determinations in respect of
indemnification shall be made by either:  (a) a majority vote of
a quorum of disinterested directors; (b) independent legal
counsel selected in accordance with the Bylaws and at the request
of the Board; or (c) the holders of a majority of the Company's
stock who at such time are entitled to vote for the election of
directors.

     In the event any payments are made to an officer or director
by way of indemnity, other than by court order, action of the
shareholders or by an insurance carrier, the Company must notify
the shareholders of the Company of such payment and all relevant
details in a timely manner and in no event later than 15 months
after the date of such payment.

     The provisions of the Company'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 Company'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.
