A BIG FESTIVAL IN SAVAN-
NAH WILL BE HELD IN MAY

Savannah, Jan: 20-Greater and
more elborate than anything OF its
kind ever staged in Georgia will be
the celebration in Savannah during
the first week in May, known as the
May Festival.
So attractive and wonderful will
this occasion be that people from all
parts Of Georgia and the south will
flock to Savannah. Special rates
will be put on by the railroads, and
the whole city, from Mayor w. J.
fierpont down to the humblest cil-
zen. will welcome the visitors.
Mayor Pierpont and city council
are working most enthusia .tically
for the festival; that Chatham coun-
ty commissioners are lending their
aid; the Rotary club; the Retail
Merchants Association; the Board
of Trade; the Greater Savannah
Commercial club; the Cotton Elk.
change and every other civic, fra
ternal and commercial organization
Of the city have united to make May
week a great occasion. Every wo-
mans organization in Savannah,
63 IN all regardless Of class or creed /,
is being divided into committees to
lend the feminine touch Without
which any hospitable occasion is a
failure.
Meetings are being held daily Of
the various committees of men and
women working towards the per-
lection Of the elaborate plahs; these
meetings are being held at city hall i,
which Mayor Pierpont has turned
over to the festival hackers, Indi,
cations are that 5000 visitors will
flock the streets of Savannah during
this gala week, which the citizens
OF Savannah have determined shall
not be exceeded in gaiety and bril-
lance even by the celebrated Madri
Gras week in New Orleans.
Brilliant night pageants and cleo
trical parades, oyster roasts, bar
becues, boat races, banquets, dane
ing and revelry upon the city's
historical fetes, .parades,
daredevil stunts by world famous
performers-these and many other
things yet to be determined upon
will combine to make May week
more attractive than anything Of its
kind ever attempted in Georgia.

High Grade Piedmont PuIverized
Limestone

High Grade PULVERIZED LlMESIONE
comes from 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 the preliminary crushing, the stone IS
passed through aixty-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 fine powder
Every particle is not only available, but inn
mediately available There is absolutely no
waste. Every pound you see will be utilized
in the soil.

Early Cotton VIII Beat the Boil
WeeviI.

The above fact is well known by
us all. That there are several kinds
Of early cotton is also well under
stood.
What kind will you plant?
This is at present the most inpor-
tant question that confronts the
South Georgia cotton planter.
viii you plant well known
tried and true variety, or will you
experiment? II you are financially
independent you might afford to try
new tangled varieties, if not, you
had better stick to the kind you
Know will make cotton and plenty
oft.
Last year I planted 40 horse
farm in SIMPKINS IDEAL cotton
on stiff red land, and made a heavy
yield.
The. best Of these seed I saved,
ginned them on my own gin, from
8 to 20 bales at a run, taking par
ticular pains to clean up all foreign
seed, that they should not be mixed.
The IDEAL is a large boiled,
heavy fruiting, and the earliest ma
turing of any cotton that does well
| in this country.
Owing to the prevailing high
prices of cotton seed, the farmer
who waits until spring to buy, will
probably either be disappointed al
together, or have to pay an exhor-
bitant price for his planting seed.
Until Jan. Is, 1917. l am offering
these seed at the following prices:
Lots Of 1 to 10 bushels, at$2.00 per
bu. Lots of 10 to 40 bushels at
s1.75 per blu. Special prices on
quantity lots. J. A. LIPSEY,

Two Grades
Piedmont Ground Limestone
Best of Its Class

Piedmont Ground Limestone is made from
the same stone as High Grade Pulyeri2ed
Limestone. Like all other ground limestone,
however, it is manufactured from the SCREEN
iugs from the Cru5her. 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 Puverzed 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. It is superior to ordinary screenings
because it comes from quarry free from sand,
dirt or clay.
It is used by only a small percentage Of our
customers as compared with High Grade Pull
verized Limestone.

ADMIRAL DEWEY DIES
At WASHINGTON

Washington, Jan. II. - Admiral
Dewey, the Nations Spanish war hero
and by priority of grade the ranking
naval officer of the world, died at his
home here last night in his eightieth
year. He had not been conscious
since Monday, when he lapsed into
coma still believing that in a few
days he would be back at his desk in
the navy department.
A general breakdown accompanied
by arterio cslerosis incident to old
age was the cause of death. The
disease has been gradually spreading
its hold upon the powerful body for
a year and a half, but the admiral -,
proud of his physical vigor. had
fought it off and even kept its exist
encc a secret from most OF his init
mate friends. Last Wednesday he
was at his office apparently hale and
hearty. The next day he collapsed as
he was preparing tC leave the house,
and the beginning of the end was al
had.

in the Wabash and was then assign
ed to the Mississippi.
Dewey held various posts after tn,

ruary 26. 1896. In January, 1898, he
assumed command of the Asatic
squadron. with which he won his vic

the view of taking some action rela-
tive to a bond issue for the county for
building roads. All members of the

four and the session was very har-
monious. Dr.. G c. Horne, the newly
elected chairman presided.
The court, Immediately after it
convened. began consideration of the
road act. and it was thoroughly dis
cussed from every phase, practically
every member, il is stated, being in
avor of drafting a bond issue for
road building under the provisions of
the act. The court appointed a COM
mittce of seven to go over the pro-
)osrd bond bill, which will carry
about $500 ,000 for road building. the
act to be submitted to vote of the
pcOplc OF the county. The proposed
county court bill provides that all
of the leading county thoroughfares
be macadamized and the rest of the
road be graded. The Memphis-to-
Bristol highway is to be completed
lnder the proposed bill, beginning
near the Model mill here and run
lig to the Greene county line as may
)e determined. Another main thor
)ughfare to be macadamized is a
road from Embreevilel to Fali
rranch. All roads are to be four
cen feet wide. 1t is stated that un-
Ter the proposed bill that Johnson
!ity will get about five of the lead
ng thoroughfares in the county, the
roads to begin here and run out into
he county. 1t is stated that the bill

,Osad macadami2ed and graded road,

peOpe OF he county may get togeth-
AZ and adopt the bill as considered
" the court to the end that the
county may soon begin buildin

ayer, that the committee of seven had

ITO DEMORALIRE GUARD

Washington, Jan. 1S-Although VII
las operations have injected confus-
ing factors into the situation in
Northern Mexico and along the border
there is every indication that the ad-
minstration is going forward with its
plans for early withdrawal of Per-
5hings expedition and rehabilitation
of the national guard. Officials here
have nsitsed that it was impossible to
set a definite date for the troop move
ments because of the uncertainty of
transportation facilities and because
the situation at the border and be
yond constantly is causing. 1t has
been indicated clearly, howeves. chat

velopment Pershing's withdrawal and
the return of the guardsmen would

bly, by the end of this week.
The reports on Villas new cam
paign apparently have rot disturbed
this determination, bit :ney have
somewhat bewildered officials here
as to the resumption and in ne end
may operate to hold up the orders un-
til more thorough investigation has
been made. Army officers contend
that the Pershing force would be in
better military position if with
darwin and regroupcd, but they arc
anxios to locate the Villa forces more
definitely before there is any Amer
lean movemetn.
Border dispatches today transmit

be ordered home within five 1avs
