OtORGIA RAILWAY
CO. MAY FURNISH POWERHERE
We understand that The Georg a
lfi.ilwuy and Power Company i? plan
ning to come to Canton with a powei
,iie to supply our town and our
•nr nufacturing (Establishment with
electric power.
On, information is that of q'<>r' 1
contracts can be made with the Pow
er Company, and no doubt they can,
!iif will mean much to our tow r and
community.
Our Water and Light Commission
ers 1 am told have for som “ time
• cognized the fact that our present
plarl belonging to the town is inade
quate to supply the rapidly increas
ing demand for water and light ser-
.•Lsc, and before recommending to
the people a bond issue for the en
largement of our present plant, have
bee: 1 waiting to see if the Pc.-.vc.
Company v«ould bring its lin- to
Canton to supply us with electricity.
If this is done it will save the town
and our tax payers the necessity of
pending many thousands of dollars
for new electrical equipment, and a
part of the money that would have to
be ihpent for that purpose can be
-pent for the enlargement of our
facilities or handling water and for
the new standpipe on Observnti >n
Hill.
Electric power generated by
water by the Power Company doubt
less can be sold to our town at a
price that will enable our town of
ficials to reduce the cost of ’ights
and water to our citizen#, and will
mean quite u saving to thiem. In ad
dition to that, it will mean that small
manufacturing plants can be estab
lished that will furnish a market for
raw products and employment to
more people, and all that means in
creased population with resultant
increase in values of real estate
With our new school bui’ding
that is to be erected next spring,
and pralsent extensions of water
maim, that are now under way, and
preparations for receiving the newer
from the Power Company, with fl .-
ancial arrangements to raise the
funds needed for the enlargement of
water supply, next year bids to bo a
very busy one for our town officials

one brother.
and u year that looks fair to bring
nev promise to our city of gr^aici
and more useful days in the future
We mention th(|se proposed new
enterprises thnt our citizens may
have in mind the importance of the
work ahead for next year, and that
we all may realize how absolutely
necessary it Is that we have 1 usiness
men in charge of our town affairs
Canton has bee n extremely fortunate
in having just auch men at the head
of our affairs for the vast few years
These men have had the best interest
of the town at heart in all the it
undertakings. They have given us
many needed impovements and kept
the town finances in excellent shape
without raising our taxes. Ar.d
speaking of taxes, our information
is that Canton has about the lowest
mx rate of any town in the state
considering civic, improvements and
population, etc., and it is to V.o hop
ed that we will be able to keep our
affairs in the hands of men rvhc are
capable and interested in the welfare
of our people.

Washington, November 22 — The
vntr;:l figure around which two his-
oricnl events have been built in as
iv. ,v days Mi-. Rebecca L. Felton,
if Georgia, left for Atlanta ‘.anight,
ifter having made her maiden and
a t pouch in the United States Sen-
.1.' vi: its fhK v/oma n member. It
was the first time in the history oi
the nation that the voice of a woman
has been raised in the chamber.
Immediately after the Georgia
woman concluded her speech, Judge
Walter F. George, of Georgia was
sworn in as her successor, which
• —» —
aut . maticully made Mrs. Felton an
ex-senator with an actual service of
twenty-two houA, and twenty-five
minutes.
Judge George, who was elected re
cently to the unexpired term of the
late Senator Thomas E. Watsor, fol
lowing Mrs. Feltons ad intrim ap
pointment, wap escorted to th? vice
president's chair by Senator Harris,
of Georgia. The oath was admini
stered by Senator Cummings, presi
dent pro tempore, in the absence of
Vice President Coolidge. During the
ceremony several Georgians, ndmir-
ng friends and relatives of the new
senator, who had made the trip to
gee him sworn in, looked on f' - om the
alleries. He was assigned the seat
formerly occupied by Senatoi Wat
son, and settled himself there after
being warmly congratulated by his
colleagues and members of the ('
gia delegation attending the session.
Advance notice of Mrs. Felton's in
ention to address the body h i ■ been
given out, and she was on her feet I
asking recognization as soon as the ]
morning prayer, the reading of the
journal and the call for a quorum
had been disposed of.
Senator Cummings, the presiding
officer, without waiting for her to ad
dross the chair called out:
‘The Junior senator from Georgia.
This was acknowledgement of re
cognization, giving her liberty to
proceed. The galleries still carrying
their burden of the two pevious clays
looked jon eagerly and with interne
silence.*
Entirely composed, and i n a voice
that was extraordinarily firm and
full for all thase eighty-seven years',
the junior senator from Georgia—
senator since yesterday made her
first an only address i n the camber,
chamber.
“In my very remarkable campaign
in Georgia, she said, which, contrary
to precedent, all came along after I
was elected, one of the very amusing
things that came to me by mail was
a cartoon from San Antonio, Texas.
The cartoon represented the United
State*: senate in session. The seat
seemed to he a little bit hysterical,
hut most pearer in the pictui ? the
figure of a woman who had evident
ly ('Titered without sending in be: -
card.
