Mr. Fitzgerald, of the American Tri bune, is urging them not to come yet. as the recently purchased lands In Ir win county have not even been sur I veyed. Ilefore settlers can Kct pos session, the land must be distributed by lot. and before the allotment can take place the company must obtain its charter to do which It is necessary to advertise In the Irwin county papers six weeks." Mr. Northen says he will write today to JudRe Smith, of the Oconee circuit, asklnpr that he call a special term of court for Trwln county about Septem ber 1st, for the purpose of Krantlnp the necessary charter. The company Is organized now. and the lands bought, but before Its division of the property would be legally binding:, It will have to have the charter. It Is a blpr undertaking to divide 100, 000 acres of land among 40,000 people, and requires careful action. No preparation whatever has yet been made for the reception of these people who are arriving, and thev will have to make temporary shift by throwing up huts of some hind, until the assignment can be made. They will have to "squat" on the territory, but they have no authority to even cut a stick of timber, arul then when the allotment is made the chances are abotit one In ten thousand that they will receive the space on which they may locate temporarily. The company reprrets this early start on the part of the colonists, as In a few weeks time all would be ready und this Inconvenience saved. Everything connected with the mat ter will be ready soon. The whole plan Is absolutely settled, and It Is only a question of a short time when the lands will be ready for the colony. FIHKO ON THF3 OniM)S.
