ValdOsta. Ca, in 1891, about the time
the Georgia Southern and Florida rail-
road was built through from Macon,
and the road penetrated a magnificent
pine forest, almost solid for 10 miles
from Pinehurst to yal1osta. The gen
eral price, then. for this land in fee
simple was $3.50 to 5000 per lot of 400
acres, YET many regarded that az to-
high, and did not invest.

ago. where well known and wealthy
man, with the money in his
pocket, declined a trade for 100 1000

MEXICAN Poems ON

IA few words about tae peon labor of

to speak authorl1ativeiy on this sub

prejudice in favor of our negro labor,
and with a good deal of skeptiolsm
about the availability OF any other

And now | wish to say that / have
found the Mexican poems can be easily
and quickly trained to do just as good
work in the woods as any OF the best
negro laborers in the. South. We have
been successful in getting as COOL
boxes CUT and as fine streak pu.

and they take to turpentine work like
