FAMILY EXTINCT,
TITLE To BURIAL
PLOT IS IN DOUBT
Tombstones So Old Inscriptions
Are Effaced-0wnership Puz-
zleS Savannah Officials.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 2o.-On the
eastern side of the city, in the subdi-
vision known as Hawthorne Park,
there Is an abandoned cemetery
wherein the members OF an old Sa-
Vannah family are buried. Four
tombstones, the inscriptions on which
are barely distinct enough to be read
are still there TO Identify the plot as
a burying ground. So far as is known
the family whose members are buried
there is extinct. The question as to
who is the rightful owner of the prop
erty has been raised.
The existence of the old cemetery
was brought to light when n. p. Nils
son, who owns the adjoining property
applied at the city hall for permission
to clear away the weeds and grass
the signs Of many years of neglect
Because Nilsson could not say who
the property belonged to he did not
get the coveted permission.
Nilsson bought the property q few
months ago from the Hawthorne I'm
provement Company Hawthorne
Park was a tract belonging to Pound
err. The Hawthorne Improvement
Company was organized to take the
property over and subdivtde II. Prac-
tically all of the property has been
sold off in lots.
One of the three lots which Nilsson
wanted to buy was the one on which
the abandoned cemetery was located
The agents Of the company explained
that they could not sell him this lot
as their deed only gave them the Gus
tody Of 1t. But they agreed to deed
to him their rights in the cemetery
property on condition that he would
buy the other two lots. This propo-
sition was accepted.
The tract of land now known as
Hawthorne Park was sold by John
Bilbo to Dennis Reardon in 1888. In
this sale Bilbo reserved the right for
the members of his family to use the
plot, IS by IS feet. as a burying
ground. Reardon subsequently sold
the tract to Founder with that under
standing. The Hawthorne Improve
ment Company agreed to the same
conditions. And Nilsson, the last
purchaser, is bound by the same
agreement. But the question is, must
Nilsson allow the property to remain
as a burying ground II all the mem
bers of the Bilbo family are dead3

PANIC CAUSED
BY BOIL WEEVIL
IS SUBSIDING
Farmers Are Learning How to
Cope With Destructive Pest,
Says Demonstration Agent, ,

SAVANNAH, Sept 2O.-That the
Georgia farmer must begin now his
preparations for combating the boil
weevil is the message which Profess
sor ]. Walter Hendricks, district dem
onstration agent for the State De-
partment of Agriculture, brings from
Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama,
where he has been with other agri-
cultural experts studying the ravages
OF the weevil.
THE first thing that impressed me
with the cotton fields Of Louisiana
and Mississippi" said Professor Hen
bricks, was that there we're nowhere
any blooms to be seen. At this time
the weevils had already destroyed al
the cotton squares, so that no more
blooming was possible. II is almost
impossible to have n top crop under
Weevtl conditions.
IF the farmer is alert, follows the
best cultural methods and picks the
weevil carefully, as we'll as the young
squares in which the eggs are laid, he
can, by planting early. always get a
bottom crop and at least a part OF the
middle crop, but none Of the top crop
If he is careless and Indifferent and
will not follow the best agricultural
methods, pick weevils and punctured
squares, he seldom gathers any cotton
at all.
Another thing that impressed me
is the spirit Of hope and determine
ton in the weevil territory that has
been infested for several years. In
other words, the farmers have found
how to make a profitable yield OF cot
ton under weevil conditions, and the
panic caused by the coming of the
weevil is over. This is true in Louisi-
ana and Texas, but not so In Missls-
sippi and Alabama. In Mississippi
the recovery from the panicky condi-
lions attendant upon the weevips ad-
vent have not disappeared, though
some of the farmers are getting on
their feet in the matter of growing, or
else have turned to other crops. In
Alabama the panic is just beginning
to be felt, since that State is not yet
more than one-half infested, perhaps.
Someone may ask what will be the
effect of the boil weevil upon the
Georgia farmer. 1t will most GER
tainly force q higher and better class
of farming, or else cause the farmer
to discontinue his occupation. II will
be impossible, in my opinion, for all
the Georgia farmers to leave off
growing cotton and depend upon 9TH
er crops. Therefore, ii will be nee
essary for them to learn now how to
grow cotton under weevil conditions.
This I believe a great many farmers
will do even at the beginning. and
when they have done so others win
follow their eXample"
