SETTLING FOR OCONEE LANDS.
OcOnce Tracts in National Reserve
Cover Wide Area.
tGreenville News, 15th.)

approximately $4,000 was paid
out to the landowners OF Oconee
county this week by the Federal
Court for property condemned in
connection with the establishment of
a national reserve in that section.
These settlements were consummat-
ed during the term of court just
completed at Greenwood.
The settlement for all property af-
fectcd in the new reserve OF Oconee
county is about completed, with only
Il few minor contests awaiting judg-
ment. The settlements have been in
process Of transaction for two or
three years, and the fact that the
work Is nearing completion is
source Of much satisfaction to the
officials
The largest amount paid out in the
sums expended this week was for
something over $4,000, and is one
OF the largest single purchases made
in the whole reserve. The price paid
for the land has ranged between SO
and 81 per acre, with very little pro-
perty going to the maximum.
The Oconee National Reserve is
probably the largest in the whole
Appalachian Range, and is rich in
timber and natural mountain rug
gedness. There is much of the land
which has probably never been
touched by man and may be spoken
Of in the quotation Of poet, This
is the forest primeval."
