1t is not generally understood what
the conditions are that govern the sale
of wild lands by the State for the pay
ment of taxes. These lands are sold
to the highest bidder by the State
treasurer that the State may recover
the amount due for taxes. But it does
not follow that the owner of the land
loses it on this account. He is given
certain length of time in which ne
can redeem it by paying the highest
bidder the amount he paid the State,
and also a 20 per cent. rate of interest
on the amount paid. This gives pro-
lection to the man who purchases the
land, as well as giving the owner a
chance to redeem his own.
If the land is not redeemed within a
term of months the title to the pur-
chaser is clear.

Some Additions May De Made to Its

Tybee's season has closed. OF this fact
there is little doubt. A few people went
down to the island yesterday, but for the
most part they looked as If they didn't

rainy day kept away considerable num-

Hotel Tybee closed up some days ago and
the South End Hotel was burned shortly

Tybee season, and there have been very
few people on the island since. The sea-
son, however, has been a good one and
the visitors to the island have enjoyed the
season. There are some plans on foot for
Tybee, 1t is said, which may made it a

FUNERAL OF MRs. GARNETT.
/ Pathetic scenes at the Burial Mt
Black swamp Church.

Despite the inoessant rain and the early
hour many relatives and friends gathered
at Garnett station yesterday morning in
the gray light of the dawn to meet the
train bearing the remains of Mrs. John
X. Garnet, whose sudden death at Flat
Rock, N. c., was announced in yesterdays
Morning News.
The dark forms of the slaves of other
days could also be seen about and among
them her Old mauma who stood as the
casket was borne away with infrm but
faithful arms outstretched as II again
TO enfold the form she had so often held.
To seven first cousins, DR.. Southwood
Smith, Maj. II. w. Richardson, Messrs.
J. X, w. +. and II. x. Manner, Messrs.
A. +. and Il. r Lawton and life long
friend of the family, Mr.. Henry H. Mckee
OF Savannah, was accorded the sad priv
ilege of acting as pall-bearers and by
them her remains were taken first to the
home of her aged father, Maj w. J.
Lawton, and thence to Black Swamp
Church, where the funeral services were
held by Rev. r. l.. I1olroyd of the
Methodist Church The remains were
buried in the presence of a large gathering
of friends and neighbors many of whom
drove from remote parts of the county or
came by rail from Savannah and other
points at a distance.
As Christian Mrs. Garnett was char
acterized by a deep and abiding faith
clearly felt by all who came within the
sphere of her influence and by a charity
that was as unfailing as it was unosten-
tatious. But it was in her relations as
daughter, sister, wife and mother that the
most beautiful traits of her character were
manifested, and they can never be for
gotten either by the recipients of her
genileness and love or those who were
fortunate enough to witness her home life
She leaves besides her husband and
daughter and aged parents, three brothers,
Messrs. Warren, William and Clifford
Lawton, and one sister. Mrs. j. S. Baxter.
