Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Educational Survey of Laurens County, Georgia, Vol. 30 Laurens County is located a little southeast of the geographical center of the State of Georgia, at the head of navigation and on both sides of the Oconee river. The river being navigable up to Dublin, the county seat, affords to the county the benefits of water competition in freight rates. From the county seat railroads run out in six directions, and there are one thousand miles of public roads in the county, mostly good. As there is very little grading required and excellent materials for building clay-sand roads are close at hand, the cost of road maintenance is comparatively light. Many bridges are required, and these are being replaced with permanent first-class concrete under a recent $450,000.00 bond issue. In the big problem of transportation, therefore, Laurens County is exceptionally favored. The county has an area of seven hundred ninety-one square miles, or 506,240 acres, being the largest county in the state excepting only two or three in which there are large areas of swampy waste lands. The land has a good clay foundation and was originally covered with a fine growth of yellow pine, affording immense quantities of lumber and turpentine. Agriculture has been intelligently developed, and much of the land is in a high state of cultivation. Frequently the county has held the record of producing the largest cotton crop of any county in the State. Corn, oats and other crops grow equally well, and the live stock industry is receiving intelligent attention. The tax digest for 1920 shows a property valuation (at 36 per cent of its estimated true value) of $16,218,233.00, to which should be added $910,230.00 of corporate property making a total of $17,127,463.00, of which $983,373.00 is negro property. The estimated real value of the property of the county is $46,488,363.00 and $2,725,000.00 corporate property, or a total of $59,213,363.00. Laurens county pays into the State, as state taxes $77,613.96, and receives from the State for schools and pensions $48,321.00, being one of the few counties that pays more into the State Treasury than it receives from it. The population of the county is 39,605, of whom - are negroes. The school population of the county is 11,700 of whom there are 5,899 white and 5,801 negro children.
