Any debt not due, which has been presented, may be paid by an executor or administrator after six months from the grant of letters, and the provisions of section 43-2-374 include such debts; but such payment must not be made unless the creditor accepts, in discharge of such debt, such an amount as, with interest from the day of payment to the day when such debt is due, would make the amount thereof.
