Early Cotton Will Beat the oil
WeeviI.

The above fact is well known by
us all. That there are several kinds
of early cotton is also we'll under
stood.
What kind win you plant?
This is at present the mostimpor-
tant question that confronts the
South Georgia cotton planter.
Win you plant well known
tried and true variety, or will you
experiment? If you are financially
independent you might afford to try
new tangled varieties, if not, you
had better stick to the kind you
snow will make cotton and plenty
.ofit.
Last year | planted a 40 horse
farm in SINIPKlNS IDEAL cotton
on stiff red land, and made a heavy
yield.
The best Of these seed saved,
ginned them on my own gin, from
g to 20 bales at a run, taking par
ticular pains to clean up all foreign
seed, that they should not be mixed.

turing Of any cotton that does well

High Grade Piedmont Pulverized
Limestone

High Grade PULVERIZED LIMESTONE
comes from a clean quarry, containing nothing
but high calcium Limestone Nothing but
clean stone goes to the Crushers No quarry
in the country surpasses ours in uniformly pure
stone and absence Of sand, clay or dirt.
After preliminary crushing, the stone is
passed through sixty-foot rotary steel dryer.
In this way we remove about 200 pounds per
ton of natural moisture. Otherwise You
would pay for this moisture.
After the drying process. the stone is pull
verized in heavy duty Cement Pulverizing
Mills. The finished material is fnepowder.
Every particle is not only available, but i'm
mediately available. There is absolutely no
waste. Every pound you see will be utilized
in the soil.
There is no Limestone on the market that
approaches our High Grade Pulverized Lime
tone in purity, fneness, dryness and avaiabi-
lily, and quick, lasting and economical results.

verized Limestone.

Two Grades
Piedmont Ground Limestone
Best of Its Class

Piedmont Ground Limestone is made from
the same stone as High Grade Pulverized
Limestone. Like all other ground limestone,
however, it is manufactured from the screen-
irlgs from the Crusher For this reason any
foreign matter like clay or dirt that adheres to
the stone goes into the finished product In
our case such impurities are negligible because
our stoneis naturally clean.
Piedmont Ground Limestone is coarser, un-
dried, and more slowly available than High
Grade Puverized Limestone
Like all other ground Limestone it requires
larger application for equal results.
It is equal to any ground limestone in Geor-
giA except our High Grade Pulverized Lime
stone. 1T is superior to ordinary screenings
because it comes from quarry free from sand,
dirt or clay.
It is used by only small percentage Of our
customers as compared with High Grade Pull
verified Limestone.

Endeavor to Turn Back Adj

London.--Great Britain and France
are rushing to the aid of Italy in her
critical hour. Not alone have men and
guns been sent to the battlefront along
the Tagliamento river, where the Ital-
lans are holding the Teutonic invaders
at bay, but the war brains of Great
Britain and France are on their way to
italy to consult with tho italian
leaders.
Premier Lloyd George and General
Sir William II. Robertson, chief of the
imperial staff at British army head
quarters, are the leaders of the British
delegation, while Premier Painleve is
the chief representative of the French
mission. No details of the plans of the
but undoubtedly the purpose is to give
Italy what she requires in the way of
material for an intensive conduct of
the war and also to assure her of a
great reinforcement in man-power,
guns and ammunition.
Meanwhile, General Cadorna's forces
are holding the invaders along the
Iagllamento by means or their neaVy
artillery and quick firers. All along
the front Italian ayiators are dropping
bombs on enemy ammunition depots
and troop formations.
What for the moment would indi-
cate further menace to the Italians is
an offensive begun by the enemy in the
Trentino region, in the zone of the
Giudicaria. Here the enemy has en-.
deavored to break through the terri
tory to the west of the northern shores
of Lake Garda, but was repulsed after
a heavy battle, leaving prisoners in the
hands of the Italians.
Recently there have been reports
that the Austro- Swiss border has been
closed and that the enemy forces in
the Trentino region were being rein
forced,

BRITISH MOSQUITO FLEET GOES

Teuton Raiders Believed to Have Been
Headed for Another Exploit Like
Recent one Near Shetland Isles
When They Met Surprise.

London.-Bleyen German ships, per-
haps twelve one of them an auxiliary
cruiser, armed with six-inch guns,
were sent to the bottom of the Catte-
gat, the large North sea arm between
Sweden and Denmark, by British
mosquito fleet some time Saturday.
Ten of the sunken vessels were patrol
craft.
The Teuton fleet, 1t is believed, was
headed for an exploit like the recent
one near the Shetland isles, when nine
Scandinavian ships and two British
destroyers were sunk. They may have
been the same raiders who got away
that time.
Sixty-four prisoners were rescued by
the British torpedo craft.
OF the crew of the Teuton auxiliary
cruiser the Marie, of 5000 tons, thirty
were killed outright by the British
shell fire.
Captain Lauterbach, her command
er, and six of his men were picked
up by Danish vessel and taken to
Copenhagen. All are more or less
seriously wounded.
Report Thrills England.
Official announcement of the British,

Britain. 1t could not have come at
more opportune moment. A great part
of the British press, including some
of the governments staunchest sup
porters, had just Embossed a concert
ed TRADE against the admiralty on ac-
count of the recent German raiding

Sir Eric Geddes was the target of

FIXES WAGES IN SHIP YARDS.
Men Granted Increase of From 10 to
80 Per Cent over Old Scale.


San Francisco.-Uniform minimum
wage scales for the Pacific coast ship
building yards, a guide for all ship
yards in the country, were announced
Sunday by the United States ship
building labor adjustment board. The
decision effects an increase of from
10 to 80 per cent over the old scale
here, although its uniformity makes
1t lower in some localities than the
temporary scale now in force.
The decision, the first to be handed
down by the board, declares that EN-
ployeS' discrimination, interfering
with the defense of the nation in.
time of war, against so-called unfair
materials would be intolerable."
There won't be many ships built
under this SCALE" declared NJ. j. Ma

district. II believe the entire ship
building crafts of the Pacific coast win

the American flag have had their first
clash with German soldiers in an at

known Sunday on receipt of dispatch
from General Pershing showing that
the German forces, soon after learning
the position of the new enemy from
overseas, bad launched a desperate eff
fort to overcome them The Teuton
attack came in the form of a heavy
barrage fire, which isolated a salient
of the American trench, and apparent
ly left a small force of Americans at
the mercy of their enemies. That the
American soldiers fought gamely is
shown by Pershing's report of pris-
oner being taken by them. How some
of his troops escaped, bringing this
German back with them, is not told
in the brief dispatch of the American
commander.
