Early Georgia Settler
Picked Location Wisely

In 1885 Pickens county, Georgia, was
Deopled by the Cherokee Indians. In
that year. one Sam Tate moved in
and settled eight miles from any 9th
er white neighbOr. He was first on
the ground when the government
moved the Cherokees out to Indian
territory in 1897. He staked off his
pick Of the lands left by the Indians,
and his claim embraced, among other
things, the finest marble deposit in
the United States and one of the most
valuable in the world. 1t still belongs
to the Tate family. There is only one
vein of Georgia marble, and the old
man got it ala solid block three
eighths of a mile wide, four miles
long and two hundred feet to a half
mile deep, the estimated worth of
which today, according to experts, runs
up to S165.0O0, 100000, and is still run

more than fifty years and in all that
