people Of this State are extending the work
Of development south ward also. The great
majority OF the firms engaged IN the turpen-
tine business in Georgia are North Caro-
lnIans, aud nearly all OF these are from
Cumberland, Simpson, and Robson coun-
ties, which years ago were the centres OF
that Industry. 1t is further stated thst
every commission business in Savannah IS
owned by North CarolIuans.

ton OF the Legislature, the members OF
