FACTS ABOUT CEMENT
The fact that one of the big
cement manufactures of the coun
try is soon to establish a great
plant in this seetion has stim
ulated interest jn this industry,
which is especially adapted to the
taction near Perry on account of
the necessary minerals found here.
The importance of the cement
industry and the magnitude of
its operations may be learned
from the following facts about
•cetnent.
For every ton of Portland ce
ment shipped, over two and one-
half tons of raw materials and ce
ment clinker mast be ground to
the fineness of flour.
In addition, half a ton of eoal or
equivalent fuel is burned ia man-
14BSgfo.
SKjjfe
terials for cement are burned. _
ment plants use pulverized coal,
fuel oil, or gas. The fuel is blown
into one end of the kiln and,burns
like a huge blowtorch.
Three hundred miles of belt con
veyors were worn out in the ce
ment mills of. this country last
year.
Over 4,500,000 fire brick wero
used last year in relining cement
kilns. One of the biggest kilns
weigh as much as four Pullman
cyrs.
Sieves used in testing the fine
ness of cement are woven of bronz
wire and are finer than a silk
handkerchief. The sieves have
40.000 holes to the square inch,
and will hold water. Standard
specifications require that at least
78 per cent of a given qiianity of
cement be fine enough to pass
through the seive.
Last year approximately 50,-
000,000 cement sacks were lost or
destroyed ia this country. Over
50.000 bales of cotton were requir
ed to weave the cloth for saoks to
replaee the losses. This would
make a strip of cloth 28,000 miles
long.
Over 46,000 miles of wire were
used in tying cement sacks in tho
United States last year.
The cement industry ranks ten
th among all manufacturing in
dustries in power installed, ac
cording to the latest U, 8. census
figures. These census returns
show that only two industries had
more power installed per dollas’s
worth of produot.
For shipping cement last year,
the manufacturers required three-
quarters as many cars as were
used in moving the country’s
wheat crop. X
ADVERTISE GEORGIA.
URGES FARM LEADER
Quitman, Ga., J Kelly Simmons
foBmer president of the Georgia
Press association, and for many
years owner and editor of Geor
gia weekly newspapers, but now
representing the Georgia asso
elation has spent a part of two
days in Quitman this week in con
ference with business men, bank
erS and prominent farmers, taking
a survey of general conditions in
the county from an agriculture
viewpoint.
Mr. Simmons recently was
commissioned by the Georgia as
soeiation to visit California and
other western states to study the
program there and bring back
the best plan which can be ap
plied to rural farm life in Georgia
Mr. Simmons spent several weeks
on the Pacific coast and found
tbat California advertised and
worked.
“Georgia has just as good pros
pects, and just as fertle lands and
as favorable climate as California”
said Mr Simmons. “If Georgians
would standardize their produets,
advertise them and mix this with
hard and intelligent work Georgia
would be able to do exactly what
has been done in California and
even more, for our lands here are
vastly cheaper than out there. I
am preaohing the doctrine of co
operation wherever I go and I
find the farmers are now in a most
receptive mood.”

THE GREATEST OF FAIRS NOT FOR
PLEASURE AND AMUSEMENT ALONE
BUT TO IMPROVE AND TO EDUCATE AND TO INCREASE
THE MEASURE OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
AND HAPPINESS.
Atlanta, Ga.—Indications point to
larger attendance and exhibits at
the eighth annual Southeastern Pair
in Atlanta, October 6 to 13 this year.
Improved voonditions in the South are
evidenced by correspondence arriving
from prospective exhibitors and this
condition is going to be reflected in
the * number and quality of the dis
plays.
Public opinion, bo often indifferent
concerning matters of real import
ance, is beginning to give proper rec
ognition to the merits of this great
fair. The Southeastern Fair Associa
tion was not organized for profit or
gain to its incorporators, but solely
for constructive and educational pur
poses. Men have given their time,
their money and their ability to (he
development of this institution, and
not one grain of selfichnoss has been
behind their activities.
“The true value of the fair," says
Mr. R. M. Striplln, the secretary and
one of its founders, “will be measured
by the number of persons who pass'
through its gates between October 6
to 13 to receive educational benefits
provided by Its various departments.
“The Midway attractions and
amustments are excellent The thril
ling displays in front of the grand
stand are unsurpassed. The horse
races and the automobile races will
contribute their part to the entertain
ment of patrons but one must look
for the fair’s lasting results to those
things that make for Individual and
community advancement that tend to
educate. The fair is in itself an edu
cational short term course.”
Nature has been bountiful in bless
ing the Southeastern Fair with a loca
tion for lta home which is incom
parable. The scenic beauty. of the
grounds at Lakewood as the grounds
have been named elicited the follow
ing tribute from Mr. John W. Kent, of
Toronto, who is president of the In
ternational Association of Fairs, and
therefore an eminently qualified
judge: “The race track and the en
tire grounds are the most picturesque
that I have ever seen. After all, the
breathing: space and the beauty of
the grounds are the essential things
when crowds that attend fairs are
considered. The permanence of the
plant here is another great feature." ;
The 1923 Fair will have increased
facilities for handling the crowds, and
the beauty of the park will be en-i
hanced. THe number of graded and
paved drives and walks' will be
doubled; another entrance for auto
mobiles provided, which will shorten
the distance between the city and
the grandstand and make traffic con
gestion impossible; a permanent -iviro,
iron and concrete fence will encircle
the whole grounds with modernly
equipped gates. All these imprpve-
ments are well under way and will be
completed before the opening of the
fair in October.
“And do not forget,” sayB Mr. Oscar
Mills, who has been president Of the
fair for three years, “while the Dia
mond Jubilee, Atlanta’s seventy-fifth
anniversary will be celebrated in
grand style at the fair this fall, it is
the fair of all of Georgia, of all of
the Southeast, and of every individual
who cultivates the land, who raises
a pig or a cow or chickens, a fair
of the whole people, if you please, and
everybody is invited.”
The Southeastern Fair is fortunate
in haring in its active directorate
men who ere intensely interested in
the different departmental exhibits.
President Mills is not satisfied if the
hog and cattle show 1b not bigger and
better than ever, and Secretary Strip,
lln is always looking for new ways to
train and interest the young people,
while Direotor H. G. Hastings takes
great pride in tho excellence and high
standard of' the agricultural exhibit.
They all oo-operate; however, for one
big thing—success.

people will get out of the Southeastern Fair, in Atlanta, October 6 to

RACING CARD TO BE THE BEST EVER
AT SOUTHEASTERN FAIR THIS YEAR
Atlanta, Ga^—Good racing is < bill
ed'for the Southeastern Fair this-
year—the first day, Saturday, October
6, being devoted to auto racing, and
the whole of (the next week to har
ness and running races.
Only one day of running races is
programmed, but for this, thorough
bred horses and famous jockeys have
been entered, and for those who pre
fer the saddle' horse .this will be a
treat.
The Lakewood track has become
one of the most noted in the country
for harness races. Many fine horses
have been trained on It and the
record of 1:59 3/4 was made by both
Lee Axworthy and Peter Manning.
Next to man in intelligence among
animals comes the horse, or at least
so many people believe, so when the
skill of man and the speed of the
beast are combined on the race track
the most sluggish blood runs swiftly.
The pacing and trotting races at
Lakewood during fhe Southeastern
Fair this fall will assemble a large
numljer of the fastest horses that ever
came South, with trainers and driv
ers of national renown, so that the
fans may be assured a great week oi
entertainment on the track.

Santa Barbara, Calif.—Seven United
States navy destroyers and the Pa*
ciflo Mail liner Cuba were wrecked
recently, the navy vessels crashing
on the rocks in a dense fog off AT*
guello light, 75 miles north of Santa
Barbara, and the passenger steamer,,
on a reef off the southeast end ot
San Miguel island, 85 miles off thl*
port.
Twenty-five enliBted men of the de^

disaster and all the destroyers worei
reported as total losses.
The liner Cuba was reported to
have sunk during the night, but all'
passengers and members of her creW|
either were landed at Los Angeles by|
the destroyer Reno or are on their;
way to San Francisco on board the,'
Standard Oil tanker W. S. Miller, with
the exception of Captain C. J. Hoi*

silver bullion.
Dense fog was the cause of both;

The destroyers Chauncey, Wood*
burg, Fuller, S. P. Lee, Nicholas,.
Young and Delphy were all bleached 1
within a few minutes of one another,,
according to naval officers.
The flotilla, of which the wrecked)
craft formed a part, was in com
mand of Captain Edward Watson,
commanding officer of the Delphy,
and was on a practice cruise^
The dead were all trapped in their
bunks on the Young when that vessel
struck a/id were drowned when the
craft capsized within two minutes
after striking.
More than five hundred men were,
rescued from the wrecked destroyers,
which were reported to be pounding
to pieces on the rocks, all total losses.
Of the survivors, 16 of the serious
ly injured were brought to the Santa
Barbara county hospital. One hun
dred others were cut and bruised in
their swim to safety over the jagged
rocks. The destroyers were traveling
in formation at 20 knots an hour In
a heavy sea and dense fog when the
leading vessel was wrecked.
Carried ahead by a strong tide, the
others piled on the beach in succes
sion. Lying in line along the shore
at intervals of 260 feet, the boats are
slowly breaking up. One of them,
the Chauncey, was resting high on
the rocks.
