diamond shaped windows at the
county castle yesterday just as the

cut out the funeral wherein Estes
would have ridden In front for hav

police gigged Estes at a mullet sup

get him on the next deal.

GOV T BUILDING
STARTS AT ONCE
Excavating Will Be First
Number On List
ri
Active work on the new Federal
building will begin tomorrow morn
ing. Contractor George Becking has
arrived and today he will look after
the minor details of getting tte work
started off. Lumber will be contract-
ed for and a temporary office built.
Excavating for the foundation will
begin In the morning. This Is a part
of tho work which the Government
permits to go ahead without any red
tape, but nothing more can be dona
until the samples of materials sent
to Washington have been passed on.
It Is likely that this will be done
before the excavation la finished
Next after the completion of the
excavation will be the laying of tho
concrete footing. On this will go the
stone work and then above the first
floor will be the brick walls. The
building will be of a semi-steel con
struction, the brick work going up
Immediately behind the steel.
In about a month's time It is cal
culated that the foundation and base
ment can be completed, and after *'.:r-t
progress will be more rapid.
This la the seventh job for Mr.
Becking for Uncle Sam, and be has the
eighth already contracted for, this be

be In Georgia In four years and we
are now working to produce a variety ’
of cotton that will not only reslat the
black rot, prevalent In many counties
Georgia, but will mature sufficient-
early to resist the rsvsges of the
boll weevil."
This Is the statement of State Ento
mologist Worsham, who made a
study of tbe reports concerning the
progress of the boll weevil across the
cotton states.
These reports show that this rav
aging insect Is traveling towards
Georgia at tbe rate of about sixty-
five miles a year and is already bait
way across the state of Mississippi.
Tbe authorities who have been
studying this Insect believe that It
will reach tbe Alabama line during
the present season. It will only take
short time then for It to cross this
state and enter the cotton fields of
Ueorgla.
In order to forestall it if possible
Prof. Worebaw will establish experi
ment fields near Amerlcus this year
and plant them with a variety of cot
ton which he hopes will develop suf
ficiently early to throw off tbe attack
of the boll weevil,' which does Its
damage In the late summer.
In view of tbe great number of cot
ton mills and cotton oil mills la Geor
gia any appreciable curtailment of
the cotton crop In this state would
prove disastrous to tbe planters. ;
John K. Findley, a Pennsy machin
ist, sent to them near Glasgow, Scot
land, graphophone records, late
which he had spoken congratulations,
speeches, and sung songs. His moth
