Ha DEVOTED TO THE MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT OF.CHEROKEE. THE BEST COUN TY IN NORTH GEORGIA. VOLUME XLVII Y AiliR CANTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1922 NUNMBEK46 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 MISS RUB) PAM DIED EASE THURSDAY Miss Ruby Pascoe died d he home in Marietta Thursday t* • •' i short illness.

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.

' Phone 5 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.
