been the common report; however, that
he was very wealthy man, this belief
being induced or encouraged perhaps by
the large number of corporations of which
he was either an officer or director. He
held such place in almost every one of
the corporations in which he owned stock
The appraisers appeared before Judge
Screven before noon vest erday and filed
their report. An interesting feature of it
is the assistance it shows Mr. Denmark

young people to aid them in attending
some one or another institution of learn
ing and thus secure an education The
boys that he thus assisted have attended
principally the University of Georgia,
which was Mr.. Denmark's alma mater
and for which, till the day of his death.
