and hold any bequests of lauds in

shadows a strong effort that will be
made at an early day to show that

Tbe senator said that the section of
the state that he la part hnd the honor
to represent was an agricultural and
stock Raising territory and that South
Georgia was rapidly forging its way
to the^front not ouly in this line, but
also in the way of population.
He tailed the attention of the mem
bers Of the sonata to the fact that
there v ore in his section of the state
hundreds of thousands of acres of land
from tvhlch the timber had been cut
and that these were being rapidly
taken tpp by a thrifty class of farmers,
who «$cro doing well. He said when
the lumbermen left these lands they
did so under the impVesston that they
had parried away all that was of
value, when us a matter of fact they
hadmore than they had hauled
ff, in the lands that they had de
vastated of their timber. lie said
that the real value of these lands is in
1, and that they are more vulu
able for farming and grazing purposes
now than when they bad timber
them.
The senator’s earnestness in this
matter had the effect of couwnund-
ing the closest attention of the mem

concluded the resolution was nassod
