Colony Of Georgia.

Georgia, the thirteenth colony, was
founded In the spirit Of benevolence
for the poor. The laws Of England
permitted Imprisonment for debt.
Thousands Of English laborers, who
through misfortune and thoughtless
contracts had become indebted to the
rich, were annually arrested and
thrown into Jail. Whole families were
destitute or starving. To provide a
refuge for these downtrodden poor of
England and the distressed Protestants
Of other countries, James Oglethorpe
the philanthropist, member Of parli.
ament, appealed to George II for the
privilege of planting colony In Amer

issued by which the territory between

tains Of those rivers to the Pacific, was
organized and granted to corporation
for twenty-one years, to be held in
