The Georgia Supreme Court granted a temporary reprieve delaying its removal from a busy Albany intersection. The 300-year-old Friendship Oak, a state landmark, faced a road-widening project after supporters appealed a lower court ruling. Attorney W T Gamble III praised the unexpected delay as the justices review the case. The tree stood at an Army camp where Spanish-American War veterans were mustered out in 1898-99.
