Jekyl experienced a reign Of terror. The
OAR kies respected no law-slaughtered deer
and other game in and out Of season, and
made no attempt whatever TO cultivate any
more than few patches Of ground for their
Immediate use.
Fortunately. however, John duBiguon, a
direct descendant Of the old admiral, re-
claimed bis inheritance and awoke the
negroes from their halcyonic dream of bliss.
he Immediately began the erection Of COM
Portable dwellings aud restocked the island
with cattle. InDumerable drOves Of wild
hogs, rivaling in size even those Of the fam
GUS Black forest, wandered over the island
and many horses were caught that had

Bignon's task Was not an easy one, but 20
such degree OF perfection did he bring

valuable properties on the coast

Finney. brother-in-law of Mr. duBignon.
and a prominent Union Club man. con-
ceived the idea Of establishing a sou hern
Tuxedo. \ number of his friends became
interested. and when they learned the
natural advantages Of Jekyl as winter re-
sort and game preserve a visiting commit
tee was dispatched to examine the site
Their report vas unanimou q favorable
one, and the necessary number of names was
qnickly subscribed. Negotiations then
began for the purchase of the island. which
passed out Of the hands OF Mr.. duBignon
for 1925 ,0Q0.
A charter was obtained under the laws of
the state Of Georgia with the following in

TO BE STILL MORE BEAUTITIED.
The acquisition of Jekyl Island was only
the beginning OF a gigantic undertaking,
and the transforming OF this vast wilderness
into game preserve, the laying out Of sixty
miles of walks and drives and the draining
of the savannas, was by no means an easy
undertaking. The services of noted land
seape engineer were engaged, and before the
end ei this season the grounds will be still
more beautifed with plants aud shrubbery,
and an ocean drive will encircle the entire
island.
As one approaches Jekyl from Brunswick
harbor the sharp gables and lofty towers OF
the club house seem to rise from the heart
of dense pine forest. 1t is situated upon
knoll to the southwark and westward on
the inland side of the island. The north
end, though more picturesque than the
spot selected, is inaccessible, and in heavy
weather there would be no lee under which
steamers could land.
The island is eleven miles long by two
wide and is crescent shaped. Between the
horns is deep and safe anchorage for

vrpIETE WITH HISTORIC REMINIsCKNCEs.
In the pnlmy days of the old south, when
sIavery was at it's hight, Jekyl was an. ideal
nisntation. and from its sandy shores was
sbnned the finest quality Of sea island cot
tan In historic interest this favored spot
rjvsls even Frederick, a town across the
hsv where Gen, Oglethorpe built his first
Stronghold against the Spaniards. The
island which was named in honor of Sir
Josepb Jekyl, distinguished jurist in the
tina Of George ILL.,, has been the scene OF
many stirring events, and its rich soil was
doIuged with the blood of many brave SOL
diers during the early struggles between the
spaniards and English.
In 17Ss. however, Gen. Oglethorpe made
an exnedition from his garrison town on st.
Simon Is, esLdDllStbl u S0LtaClIOhb Oil J6hJlf
and induced his friend and junior in com
mand, Maj Horton, to locate permanently
there. Rye. barley and other grains were
then planted and an orange grove laid out.
This fourished until the great freeze 100
years later. A brewery, said to be the first
on this continent, was also erected, aud a
superior quality Of beer and ale furnished
70 the troops and adjacent oolonists.
Toward the north end of the island the
ruins Of an old tabby house erected by Ogle-
thorpe still remain, as we'll as those Of an
old family mansion OF ante-bellum DAYS

& nous for the quality Of its crops, aud when

Il duBignons, distinguished French family,
