the land owners of Middle Georgia
and to the people of the State will

the state’s paper making laboratory
in Savannah where he is engaged in
experimental work looking to per
fection of a process for the making
of all kinds of white paper from the
pulp of the Georgia pine tree, and
while his work is far from being
completed, yet it is so successful thus
far as to warrant every hope of a
complete success. He is the only
chemist who has succeeded in making
white newsprint paper from the un
mixed pulp of the pine tree of the
South. Dr: Herty is one of the coun
try’s leading chemists, being a past
president of the American Associa
tion of Chemists, and is the greatest
living authority on the Southern
pine tree. He is a native Georgiav,
ar.d was born in Milledgeville, and is
now doing the greatest work of a life
time of usefulness which promises to
bring to the South the paper mak
ing industiy of the United States.
The program of the meeting will
be complete with interesting talk::;
on the subject of forestry, in which
the following prominent citiens will
take part:
T. G. Woolford, President of the
Forestry Association; W. T. Ander
son, editor of the Macon Telegraph,
E. M. Lufburrow', State Forester and
Bonnell Stone of the Forestry De-
partment.
The South is destiried to become
the center of the paper making in
dustry of the country, and Georgia
can become the greatest timber pro
' ducing state of the nation, and there
fore the logical state for the locating
of paper mills. It is hoped that the
and owners and citizens generally
H'will attend the meeting.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS- ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
EIGHT MILLIONS PAID
PENSIONERS IN SOUTH
GEORGIA NOW HAS 878 CON
FEDERATE VETERANS AND 2,-
957 WIDOWS ON ROLL. WAR
CLOSED 68 YEARS
Sixty-eight years have passed since
Appomatex and time has taken a
heavy toll of Lee and Jackson’s men
but the south still spends more than
$8,000,000 annually in pensions to
Confederate veterans, their widows
arid in some states servants.
Figures from eight of ten states,
from Virginia to Texas, show less
than 7,000 who wore the grey uni
form of the south on the pension
rolls. Widows receiving a bonus num
ber almost 20,000.
Unlike the hosts of Grant, the
Confederate veteran draws his small
honor pay directly from the state.
There are 878 veterans on Geor
gia’s roll and 2,957 widows. The {Ten
sion fund gets all reecipts from the
cigar and cigarette stamp tax levy
but during the past year that* has
been insufficient to raise approxi
mately $1,600,000 needed. The gov
ernor has aided from his contingent
fund.

dining room furniture, radio, chairs,
tables, clock, etc. The exhibit, pre
pared by a friend of the underpriv
ileged children, has been widely' ad
mired and the set will no doubt bring
much joy and pleasure to the chil
dren in the Scottish Rite home.
