COL. SMITH TO SELL OUT?
Reported Mt Athens That He win
Sell His OgIethOrpe Holdings.

sell HIS O8letnOrpe hO1ulnSss
Athens, Ga, Nov. FIT is learned
on good authority that Col. James NJ
Smith, the big Oglethorpe county plant
er will sell his large real estate hold
ings in that county, and as result
of the deal Athens will likely gain two
splendid citizens.
According to the report received in
Athens last night, Col. Smith has en-
ployed Mr.. 7. Larry Can't, formerly
editor of the Athens Banner, who now
resides in South Carolina to sell his
farms in Oglethorpe county. 1t is UNI
derstood that Mr. CAN'T will move to
this city and at once begin nego-
tiations for the sale Of the entire prop
erty.
1t is also understood that Col. Smith
will remove to this city and erect
handsome home here to make Athens
his place of abode for the balance
of his life.
Col. Smith owns some 10000 acres of
land in Oglethorpe county and he has
large real estate holdings in a score of
other counties in the state. His land
will be divided into small farms, &C
cording to the report received here, and
Mr.. CAN'T will receive a salary of
something like 1000 per year for his
services as Col. Smiths agent.
The friends of Col. Smith in Athens
differ in their opinions as to whether
or not there is political significance in
this move on the part of Col. Smith,
many of them believing that he has
made up his mind to become the Gov
ernor of Georgia before many years.
1t has been known for some months
that Col. Smith has been thinking
of moving to Athens, but the statement
that he will sell his vast real estate
holdings in Oglethorpe county comes
as a surprise to the few that have heard
it,
If the present plans are carried out
as stated Athens will gain two citizens
in Col. Smith and Mr.. CAN'T by the
deal.
