Last Wednesday he was at his office
apparently hale and hearty. The next
DAY he collapsed as he was preparing
to leave the house, and the beginning
of the end was at hand
Mrs Dewey and the admiral's' only
son, George. were at the bedside. They
had known there was no hope.
The body will be buried at Ar
lington National Cemetery on the Vir-
ginia shore of the Potomac river,
where many of Admiral Dewey's for
mer comrades have been laid to rest
before him.
The admiral died at $3.50 o'clock.
President Wilson and Secretary Dan
iels were notified at once and the
news was flashed by wireless to
American naval vessels and stations
all over the world. The message car
ried orders that all flags be half
masted.
When news of the Admirals death
was received at the White House,
President Wilson authorized the fol-
lowing statement:
III Sapi tooiiiB ui5 BIlt1 at llt uedtn
of Admiral Dewey the President said
the whole nation will mourn the loss
of its most distinguished naval Off

successful in time of war. 1t is just
such men that gives the service dis
tinction and the nation just pride in
those who serve it."
Won Great Naval Battle.
Admiral George Dewey, Hero OF
Manila Bay fought and won the first
great American naval battle against a
foreign foe since the war of 1872.
His whole life was full of honorable
achievement, from the days of the
Civil War down to the time when, as
the head of the General Board, he be-
gan the last chapter of his work by
laying plans for the defense of his
country in time of war. His life was a
striking exemplification of the possi-
bilities of a career based upon the ex-
act and intelligent performance of ev-
cry routine duty which molds man
on inflexible lines of duty and honor
George Dewey was born in the
shadow OF Vermonts state capitol at
Montpelier, on the day following
Christmas in 1887.
Contrary to Spanish expectations,
Dewey sailed into Manila bay on the
night of April 80 and in the morning
of the next day he annihlated Ad-
miral Montojo's squadron, destroying
eleven warships and capturing all
other vessels and all the land batteries
without the loss of a man on tne
American side

national department of agriculture, for low
cost and high profits in producing pork
While 1t is thus evident that Terrell coun-
ty has many companions in food productive
ness it should not be inferred that the state
has yet approximated its opportunities or its
urgent needs. While we raised last year a
million bushels of Irish potatoes and nearly
eight million bushels of sweet potatoes we
needed for home consumption eighteen mil
lion, seven hundred and fifty thousand bush
els of each. We lacked one hundred mil
hon dozen eggs and three hundred and nine
ty-three million gallons of milk of produc-
ing enough to supply home needs. We rails
ed some sixty-four million bushels of corn,
but we must raise still more this wear if we
are to offset the wheat shortage and pro-
vide feedstuff for livestock. Authorities es-
innate that if Georgia is to be self-sustain-
ing we must produce for eVerv man wO-
man and child in the state more than thirty
dollars worth of foodstuffs above last years
record.
In time like this patriotism and self
interest alike urge that everything possible
be done to make Georgia and the South self
sustaining in food necessaries. Terrell coun-
ty farmers, and those like them throughout
the state, are serving the commonwealth and
the nation as well as their immediate COM
munity and themselves when they make the
county independent of outside sources for
1000 staples. Ii every county came up to
this standard more than one hundred and
seventy million dollars worth of foodstuffs
now imported into this state would be free
for the army's needs and for expectation
to England and France. And, besides, the
more than one hundred and seventy mil
lion dollars now spent in distant markets
would remain at home for the improvement
of our farms and the promotion of sundry
native enterprises If all the Southern states
raised enough food to supply their needs
upwards of one and a quarter billion dol
lars worth of necessaries would be released
for war service; and the South would be
far richer than the most prosperous of big
cotton years ever made her.
There are cheering evidences that the
people of Georgia and neighboring states
have awakened to the obligations and ad-
vantages of more abundant food produc-
ton. Certain it is that III Georgian an I'M
precedentedly large acreage of food crops
has been planted and the development of
livestock industries is being pressed with
extraordinary vigor. TIE spirit which The
Dawson News praises in the farmers of it's
own county is possessing the state as a
whole. The lean, uncertain years of the all
cotton system have gone for good, except
among the most backward localities and in
dividuals And while we are still long
way from our goal we are moving steadily
forward.
