Approximately $12,000 was paid out to the landowners of Oconee county this week by the Federal Court for pro porty condemned in connection with the establishment of tl national reserve in that section. These settlements were consummat ed during the terni of court just completed al Greenwood. The settlement for all property af fected in the new reserve of Oconee county is about completed, with only a lew 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 a source of much satisfaction to the olllcials.
