Section 2. Relative to the man
ner of selling such lands, etc., as

Apparently tho Georgia Orphans
Homo did not mulerialixe and the
land reverted to thft Stato. For we
find In ISH'J an act of legislature was
passed, authorizing the sale of the
Okefenokee Swamp to the Hewanee
Canal Company. A company incor
porated under nurne act, by Frank W.
Hull. Marshall Phillips and his as
sociates, with u capitul stock of one
million dollars. Tho purchasing price
was not to bo Iosb t Imu twelve and
one-half cents per acre.
An Interesting fact is that the
State reserves a right (which exists
today) to a royalty of one'dollar per
ton on auy phosphate rock that might
be worked in the swamp.
The above mentioned company
went to work on their great plans
lor draining the swamp and the canal
may yot be seen, near Folkston. But
the expense was apparently too great
and the company eventually went In
to the hands of a receiver, who la
ter sold It to the Hebbtrd Lumber
Company, and this company recently
sold the cypress timber rights to the
Hebbard Cypreaa Company, now op
erating their Immeuae cypress plant
at Waycross.—This Is the present
status of tho swamp.
