GEORGIA TIMBER LANDS

Turpentine Men Are Eager to
Secure Trees for Their
DiStiIIefieS

.SWAINSBORO, Ca, Jan z.-Notwith-
standing the fact that there has been
much ruthless slaughter and devastation
OF timber in this country still there is
left some considerable bodies of timber
in the country. 1t has been only a
few months ago that Mr.. Allen Jones
transferred to the Hickson Lumber COM
pany a magnificent body OF timber at
a price aggrekating $4,000. The Hick-
son Lumber company are now preparing
to cut this timber for saw min pur-
poses, a railroad being now under pro-
cess of construction from Summit to this
timber
Besides this there has-.yxithfn thesIast
few weeks been <transfers OF turpentIne
finb9f IN vast quantities. t would
seem from the eagerness with which
turpentine men grasp at amy opportunity
to buy timber that the turpentine In
terests are taking on new life.
At Summertown, about nine miles from
Swainsboro, is being erected a large
turpentine distiIIery within the incorpor-
ate limits OF the town. This distilIery
Is owned and will be operated by Mr..
A. L. sutton, who has had a large ex-
perience in turpentine and saw mill bus
mess fn
In addition to the pine, saw mill and
turpentine timber in this county, there
are a few patches OF original forest
which the owners prize beyond their
present money value, but as vet the ma
jority of the population has not been
able to bring its mind beyond the time
when land that was covered with for
ests was regarded as a nuisance.
few of the farmers. however. have
intelligent estimates of the value OF
trees and realize the tremendous profit
that can be made for old age and fu-
ttire posterity, even by stopping the
ruthless waste OF timber to say MOTH
ing of planting out trees.
