Calling south Georgia one of the
greatest sections of the country, just
unfolding its great agriculture and
livestock possibilities, Robert Cowart,
well-known Douglas business man
and descendant of both heroes jus-
tified the selection of south Georgia
by his ancestors who came to Geoc-
gin from South Carolina."
Praising the pure stock of this
section he said, "there is no commu-
nism here --- here are true 100 per
cent Americans --- proud of liberty,
willing to die for freedom." He said
the deep patriotic and religious fer-x
vor of these ancestors trail blazers
is alive today in south Georgia. South
Georgia has been described as the
most religious section of the coun-
try.
