lengthy conference with President
Coolidge Sati^-duy Senator Wm. J.

portance of Muscle Shoals to the
South and the country, in Which it
was emphasized that there is great
need for nitrates in fertilizer demand
ed in the South, where cotton growing
has been conducted for over a hun
dred years. Senator Harris also called
attention to the fact that this coun¬
try was the only nation without facili
ties for manufacturing nitrates in
time of war. He urged utilization of
Muscle Shoals as a nitrogen produc

with any surplus power distributed
over the territory.
Kenator ,, Harris also took occasion
to discuss the shipping board situa¬

that Savannah, leading port of the
South, both in imports and exports,
together with Brunswick had been
discriminated against. He gave the
President his views on the kind of
man who should be appointed to suc¬
ceed Thompson, who has resigned.
The matter of representation to the

MRS. A. H. McCARTY
<From I5arn«**ville News Gazette)
Mrs. A. If. McCarty's death, which occurred
at a hospital in Atlanta Sunday evening: about
6 o’clock, ha* causeri universal sorrow among
*ii the ,,,.<,,, 1 ,. „t Bam^viu. enn vicinity, for
no woman ben* was more witiviy known or
more K- nuiricdy respected and loved through
out the city and county than she was. I
j She went to an Atlanta honpital about ten
day* ago for operation* and treatment. It
v/aH K«*nenUly known that the operation* were
of a serious nature but it was hoped that she
would be able to stand and recover from them.
Two or three operation* were performed last j
I week'ami she was understood to be Kelt ini:
well until pneumonia developed ly
Saturday, when her condition became most
i critical, death resulting Sunday evening, al
I though every possible effort Was made to
1 save her lift*. ,

' in the First Methodist church, the officials of
the church generously tendering the u«e of the
I church becau.sc of the work going on at the
First Baptist church. The church auditorium
1 wm filled to it» capacity, many people , from ,
the surrounding communities being in at
! tendance. There has never been seen a great
,-r number or more beautiful floral offerings
I similar service in this city and the 1
any
service was an exceedingly impressive one. The
wnrnt ' n ,lf the Baptist church, ail of whom
greatly admirootl and loved Mrs. McCarty, at
tended the service in a body as did the mem¬
bers of the Gordon Freshman class, of which
Mrs. McCarty's daughter, Miss Mildred Mc
Curty, was a member.
* The funeral Berviee was very affecting, The
large congregation appeared conscious of the
great loss which the community had sustained
in , the death of this good woman and at
time* scores of those present were moved with
emotion. The special songs which were sung, !
favorites of Mrs. McCarty, the beautiful pray
er offered by Rev. Marvin *'ranklin, pastor
of the Methodist church, and the tender tri¬ |
butes by Rev, Arthur Jackson, her pastor, !
made the service one which will long be re
membered. Her pastor told of the many beau
tiful traiti of her character, how .she had
'wauere.1 sunshine and happiness everywhere
by h<*r Hmilcs and good deeds anti how she
had responded to every call for service to her
church and to the community. She had not
lived many year* in Barne«ville but *he had
made hundreds of friends and they appreciat
ed h«*r and made their appreciation known to
her. The women of the First Baptist church,
her co-laborer* in good works, loved and ap
predated her to a marked degree, and in fact
in every «phere of the community’* life* she
exerted a wide and wholesome influence, all
of which i* due to her attractive and beauti¬
ful per«ona)ity. It in hhh! that she was never
heard to *ay anything against anybody. She
waB gentle, kind and good and her life was a
benediction to nil who knew her. She was a
member of the First Baptist church and was a
sincere and faithful Christian woman who has
gone to her Heavenly reward.

vived by her husband, one daughter. Miss Mil
