What a pity It la that tho state ot Georgia la so careless ol her future, so careless of her future wealth and of bur future citizenship, that she has dotto nothing to oncour age the replanting or these lands— and Instead leaves them there, rob bed of their wealth, worthies now and with no promise ot ever being any thing .else than worthless. They might be growing up In hopeful young pines or n sort that wouM untlmately make trees ot value—fnitdad they are upgrown with worthless scrubs that are not now and win not he ot any value, unless it be for firewood. We have practically ffntshed the destruction of onr yellow pine forests and yet not one step ham wo made In the direction ot replacing them. Thera might fee some excuse It the lands had been put to some other use hut bow much ot them hat been left lust as the, were when (ha axeman passed on! We have taken away to our selfish uses ths wealth ot the tend—and era have put aethlag bach. We have hacked aad hewed—and we have not even pot back the seed for another crop.
