Of South Carolina and Georgia was

may be put to: excellent use in max
ing farms for the soldiers.
It is proposed to take the lumber
from the various cantonments and
send to such locations as may be
agreed upon for the farms. This lum-
Der, it is said, could not be well put to
q better purpose. It is proposed ito
divide up the tracts to be secured

it is believed would be large enough
/ to meet all necessary demands. The

at Camps Jackson, Wadsworth,
Wheeler and other Carolina and
Georgia camps that is now tied up in
or contracted for by the cantonment
construction service Of the war de-
partment would be used upon these
newly settled lands by the returned
soldiers.
On December the department Of
labor was ordered to begin this work
and already much of the preliminary
labor has been undertaken. AS rapiG-
ly as possible lists by counties in
South Carolina and Georgia of lands
on such lists will be made by the gov
ernment authorities IL. as soon as
this is in hand here the actual work
of laying out the new colonies will be
begun in earnest. Other States in
