SGabOard Also Interested in
Development Of Lee County
GENERAL INDUSTRIAL AGENT PRIDE OF THAT ROAD PIE
DGEs LEE COUNTY COOPERATION IN DEVELOP
MENT HERE IN WHICH He is ALREADY
TAKING AN ACTIVE INTEREST

While on a visit recently to this
section Of Georgih, General Indus
triol Agent J A. Pride. Of the Sea
board railway, whose, headquarters
are in Portsmouth, pledged his CO.
operation in the work of develop
ing Lee county, which is also being
done in such notable manner BY
the Central Of Georgia railway. The
Seaboard's line from Albany to
columbus passes through the SOU
thwestern section Of Lee county,
just opposite the tract recently ac-
quired BY the Central Of Georgia
for its experimental farm and
colonization scheme.
While in this section, Mr.. Pride
endeavored to list all the lands for
sale along the Seaboard. The main
place on the Seaboard in this coun-
ty is Armenia. That section of the
county is subject to the highest de-
velopment, as it contains some Of
the best land not only in this coun-
ty but also in Georgia. An active
campaign for white immigrants to
be settled in that section Of the
county should produce most excel
lent results.
Every land owner in Lee county
who has lands along the Seaboard's
line in the county should get in
touch with Mr.. Pride, in case they
wish to sell their lands and to aid
in bringing white immigrants tothe
county. The Seaboard's plan in a
general way is like that Of the Cen
trail, as each road has constantly on
its lists OF lnqulrers a large NUMBER
Of those who are seeking homes in
sections of the country where the
lands are good and the Agricultural
resources are excellent. In this
particular Lee county opportunities
are unexcelled. With the aid Of
the Seaboard cooperating with the
Central the development Of the
county should be unusually rapid.
Though the section Of Lee county
covered by the Seaboard is limited
more than that Of the Central, it is
none the less one OF the most valu-
able parts Of the county Its pos

that are expected to come from the

that it will be the purpose of the

The foregoing announcement was
made after the County Commits

The Lee county road gang will &c

tract Immediately, according to the
announcement made here. The
road squad is now engaged on com
plotting the last short link Of the
Andersonville- Townsville highway
which will require the remainder Of
this week. After this work has
been completed, the gang willcom-
mence work on the roads through
the Central tract.
The work to be done there inn
mediately will be tolay off the roads
that are to be constructed and to
grade them SO as to make them all
right for immediate use. The final
surfacing of the roads according to-
the manner used in perfecting sand
clay roads will be done later, when
the roads will be put in Thoroughly
good condition for permanent use.
The short mileage Of roads in the
tract makes the work light.

than eight miles of roads to be con
structed. These roads are in part

Central Booklet is Being Sent
Out to Prospective Immigrants
WITH LETTERS SOLICITING SETTLERS FOR THE CENTRALs
CHOICE 4OOO-ACRE TRACT OF LAND JUST SOUTH OF

With characteristic energy, en-
thusiasm and faith in the virtue Of
lee county lands and Lee county's
future progress, Agricultural Agent
j. n. jackson, Of the Central of
Georgia railway, has had Issued a
sixteen-page booklet, descriptive OF
the attractive farms that are offered
to white immigrants by the Central
on its fine 4,000-acre tract just SOU
til Of l-eesburg. The booklet is just
off the press. but already copies Of
it have been mailed to large num-
Der Of inquirers and prospective inn
migrants, with letters sent out
directly by Mr.. Jackson.
Immediate results are expected
from these letters by Mr.. Jackson,
who has sent them to the most
desirable prospective immigrants Of
whom he has information. As the
sixteen-page booklet includes COM
pIete information concerning the
tract brought right up-to-date, with
the results of the action ofthe Coun-
ty Commissioners in agreeing to
build roads through the tract at
once, it will be a great drawing card
to bring immigrants. No better OPP
portuuities are offered along the en-
tire lines Of the Central, when all
things are considered, than are told
Of in the booklet, according to Agri-
cultural Agent Jackson himself
In the tract chat will be sold are
approximately sixty smaller tracts
Of about 25 acres each. 1t is the
purpose of Mr.. Jackson to secure a
good white immigrant for each one
of these tracts. Not more than 200
acres will be sold to any applicant.
It is the belief of Mr.. Jackson that
the inquiries received in this man
ner will lead ultimately to the ra-
pid sale Of farms throughout all OF
Lee county, with the breaking up
of the large and unwieldy farms
that have been such handicap to
the progress of the county in the
past It's generally believed here
that an era of development has set
in for Lee county that will resultin

Oh Mr.. Nelson's calf bill.
The female calves in Georgia
never realized perhaps how many
friends they have in the legislature.
Half a dozen or more expended
their eloquence on the subject.
One member almost wept as he
described the pitiful spectacle Of
baby calves being led to the sham
bIes to be foully murdered to feed
a colioused public.
Mr.. Nelson's bill had q serious
purpose in fact. It was to prevent
the slaughter Of calves under one

would go farther to promote stock
in Georgia than anything
else.
But the House ridiculed it to
death.
