leave for a subsequent chapter the continuation of this account, while
we revert in the meantime to other matters. As disclosed by the census
of 1830, Georgia's population was over half a million. On this basis
Georgia was entitled to nine representatives in Congress, but it was
not until 1833 that the new apportionment went into effect. Mean
while, Georgia sent to the Twenty-first Congress (1829-1831), the fol
lowing strong delegation: Thomas F. Foster, Charles E. Haynes,
Henry G. Lamar, "Wilson Lumpkin, Wiley Thompson, James M. Wayne,
and Richard Henry Wilde. Georgia's representatives in the Twenty-
second Congress (1831-1833) were as follows: Augustin S. Clayton,
Thomas F. Foster, Henry G. Lamar, Daniel Newnan, Wiley Thomp
son, James M. Wayne, and Richard Henry Wilde.
The Legislature of 1831, out of lands taken from Randolph, created
a new county to be known as Stewart, in honor of Gen. Daniel Stew-
art, of the Revolution, a native of Georgia. At the same time Sumter
was detached from Lee and named for Gen. Thomas Sumter of South
Carolina.
Georgia's exports of cotton, in 1830, through the port of Savannah,
aggregated 250,000 bales. The total value of the state's entire exports,
for the same period, was $4,000,000, while her imported articles cost
her only $400,000. The Georgia Medical College at Augusta—the
state's oldest school of medicine—was incorporated under an act ap
proved December 20, 1828, designating it as the Medical Academy of
Georgia. The following names are mentioned in the act as the incorpo-
rators of this pioneer institution: William R. Waring, John Carter,
Lewis D. Ford, Igriatius P. Garvin, Benjamin A. White, Samuel Boy-
kin, William P. McConnel, Walter H. Weems, William P. Graham,

Thomas Hoxey, James P. Scriven, William C. Daniel, Richard Banks,
Henry Hull, John Dent, Thomas Hamilton, Tomlinson Fort, Nathan
Crawford, 0. C. Fort, and John Walker.* The founder of this insti
tution was Dr. Milton Anthony, who lies buried within the college en
closure, amid the scenes of his former activities.
