We say Homeland, our colony K becanse Homeland is a part of Charlton County; because it isone “ r towas, and a little caty of which we are proud. 5 Homeland is the 1906 colony towi It was in 1906 that C. W, Waughtel, after living among us during W latter part of the year 1905 and teaching the Folkston Public School term of nine months, bought a tract ofland just north of Folkston; sy Yeyed it, cut a partion of it up in tracts, and laid it off in town lots, on § hich now stands the little town, Homeland. Homeland is just one and & half miles north of Folkston on the Atlantic Coast Line Railway, and 1s . bne of the nicest laid off towns in the South. The comers there are all hustlers and. valuable citizens. They are pushiag forwurd their wotk anilere detetmined :0 make Home land a city whick shall be one of the besk in South East Georgia. Many fine homes have been built, A beautiful brick school building - has been erected, They have a post office, a freight office, an express office. A good school, preacning, Sunday School, and prayer meeting every week. Within the last month the town has been incorporated, the election has beea held and a good set of men as town officers have been elected. Ev erything that will tend to make the town progiessive 1s being done, and nothing has been done that will hinder ite making a city. Newcomers are arriving almost dfi{?;y, everyone likes this section and buys him a tract of Charlton’s lands!!l If he does not stay when he buys he leaves saying ‘I will be back in a short while because I think there is something to Homeland, and this 1s a- fine section to live:” While Homeland 1s moving on there is much yet to be done. There shou‘ld be an awakening among the people who have always lived in this section. While Homeland is a part of this county we say and we call it ours, -Yet our people should join hands with the colonist 1n making this section wWhat it shot'd be. If we work together we all can do something —if we pull for self we cannot expect much for self, but by awakening ‘from our slumber and lookvmg_ into the future we can see many golden op portunities,” We can see a bright future for Charlton County. * We "can sce this is the finest farming and stock raising section i the Union.

' Atlanta, Ga., March 19th, 1909 My Friend: ; : -~ The General Assembly to convene pext June will be expected to on Confederate soldiers ana widows of Confederate soldiers, authorized by the Constitutional Amendment ratified by the people at the last Novem. ber election. G S Y % | In preparing this legislation “the mfirmity and poverty” qualifica. tion that exist in our present law [which has been so repulsive to the pa triotic pride of so many true Confederates] will be repealed,’ and in lien thereaf will be provided tne new Constitutional qualifications: * That is, to nay a pension to every Confederate soldier, and the widow: of every Confederate soldier (who were married prior to the first of Janusty, 1870) not worth over Fifteen Hundred Dollars, whe performed a term (to be fixed in the law) of actual military service in the army of tke Confedes rate States or of the organized militia of the State of Georgia, and who was honorably discharged therefromn. Also a provision wiil be made to lpay a pension to that class of widows who had a husband “killed in the iservicc:---h:m since remarried and is now a widow. , The amount of this annual pension is to be fixed by the law, and what that amount shall be depends largely upon the number to be provided for, i My purpose in bringing this matter to your atteatiom, is to urge upon you its importance, for everybody 1s vitally interested in the subject, and it behooves us in some organized way to secure the co-operation of all good citizens, and tax payers, county officials and especially the repre sentatives and scnators in the next General Assembly to g 9 to work indiv. 'idually and collectively by committees or in any Way torthe best results in each militia district, and ascertain just how many ex confederate sol diers and widows of ex-confederate soldiers are now residing in your county to be provided for in this new legislation. This, 1 think, can be casily done. You com get from the tax digest in your county, for 1908, a list of ex-confederate soldiers as made by your tax receiver, you can get from the pension book in the ordinary’s office 2 list of all the _pensioners, check out the pensioners, and you will then have a skeleton list to start with, Canvass each name thoroughly, you will find that the tax receiver put some on that should have been left off, and that he left off some that he should have put on, Make a correct list, then ascertain the company and regiment in which each eniisted, and in what regiment bhe served, and who the witnesses are, that each man sarvice are to be proven. Also can vass the service of the husbaads of each widaw in the same way, and of the time and where she and he where married, and of the value of what property of ull kinds that any of them are n the use and possession of, Do uot depend on what one may say or claim ot himself or herself as to the service in the army, or of their property or its value—but ascertain by investigation what the true facts are of each oce, and by whom it can be proven. Your activity and viligance in this matter will keep the unworthy frum your pension rolls and aid materially 1n making these rolls, rolls of homor, as they are intended to be, Your failure to be active in this mat ter may burden the taxpayers and embarass the State with improper claims for pensions. : The General Assembly will need the light of correct information on this subject to legislate intelligently. You can by some effart get it for them, and please do it. = The only sound basis of all legislation is a full knowledge of all the facts about the subject, matter for which legisla tion 18 sought, and there is no sarer way to guide legislation into safe channels than by furnishing them all the facts, So let me beg yon to get together and by concerted effort in sach county furnish the number to your representatives or ordinary by the Ist of June next, and I will cona solidate them aad place them before the General Ac:mbly. You will thereby do the state a great service, and protect the pension roll trorh the charge of fraud, , | Respectfully requested, “ J. .Lindsey, SI.OO A YEAR.
