The ginning report for cotton ginned to November 1 shows 5,273 bales of cot ton, as compared to 5,157 ginned to that date last year. Since November 1, many hales have been ginned, and it is believed the county has really made more than 'an average crop, ini spite of the fact that this is the first ygar the weevil has been active here.

FIRST WOMAN TO WIN SEAT IN SENATE Georgia’s “Grand Old Lady” Gains Highest Office Ever Held by One of Her Sex. Agreement between the Extension Division, of the Georgia State College of agriculture and the United States De partment of Agriculture co-operating, and the County Board of Education of Fayette county and the County Com missioners of Roads and Revenues in and for Fayette county on the 7th day of November, 1922, resolved to appro priate jointly, $1,200 to meet the avail able sum of $1,200 for use in Fayette county, known as the Smith-Lever fund, for the empjpyment of a Farm Demonstration Agent. It appears necessary at this time, that there is an urgent necessity for the employment of a farm demonstra tion agent in this county to combat the boll weevil and aid otherwise in the -improving of farming condition^. The farmers of Fayette county are going to have a growing appreciation of the work of a county agent repre senting the State Agricultural College and the United States Department of Agriculture. They* (recognize the vital necessity of the maintenance of educational work through the State Extension services, which leads to a more economical pro duction and a more economical sys tem of marketing of farm produce. It is understood between the contract ing parties that this agreement is for the county agent work. The contract ing parties agree to develop and carry forward community and county pro grams of work in agriculture and home economics and help in other ways to make the work mean most to the farm ing interests of the county. This agreement becomes effective December '1st, 1922. FAYETTEVILLE SCHOOL NEWS //-2-V - Z-y This column is edited weekly by the Board of Editors of Fayettevile High school.

M. Lester. The library which was used as the dining room was beautifully decorated in yellow chrysanthemums, ferns, and pedestal baskets, carrying out the high school coloi-s, purple and 'gold. The table was adorned with a mound of yellow chrysanthemums, surrounded with cut glass candlesticks, with yel low unshaded tapers. Attractive place cards marked the guests’ places. Pur ple and gold mints were contained in purple mint baskets, artistically tied with a bo\v of gold ribbon. Mrs. L. A. Ingram graciously acted as hostess.

Brown, Fort McPherson, soldier, must serve one year on the chaingang. That penalty was imposed on him tfy Judge J. B. Parks, of the emergency criminal division of Fulton , superior court, when a jury returned a verdict of involuntary manslaughter. Washington, D. C., Nov. 21.—The star of woman suffrage reached its greatest ascendancy • in American his tory Tuesday when Mrs. W. H. Felton, the “Grand’ Old Woman of Georgia,” formally was seated as a full-fledged senator of the United States. She is the first woman senator ever to take the oath of office on the floor of the Senate / Mrs. Felton won her senatorship when cl\ivalry triumphed over legality. A single objection from any one of the 95 male senators would have pre vented her taking her seat. She was escorted to the bar of the Senate by Senator Harris and, with hand upraised, and while women in the galleries applauded, despite the Sen ate rules to the contrary, she became “senator for a day.” Senator-elect George is expected to take the office tomorrow to fill out the term of the late Senator Watson. The swearing In of Mrs. Felton came after her credentials of temporary ap pointment by Governor Hardwick were read to the senate and after Senator Walsh, seeking to clarify legal points involved, had concluded the argument which for a time delayed the ceremony Even Senators Applauded. Even senators joined in the applause as Mrs. Felton said, “I do,” after Presi dent Pro Tempore Cummins had read the oath of office. Senator Pat Har rison, of Mississippi, started the hand clapping. Applause is seldom heard in the senate and is against rules. Mrs. Felton was assigned a seat on the rear row of the chamber, Demo cratic side. A page brought her a glass of water and she rather ner vously sipped it. Curiously enough the seat "next to Mrs. Felton was occu pied by former Senator James Martine, of New Jersey, who was visiting the chamber for a day. Mrs. Felton is a pioneer dry and prohibitionist. Former Senator Martine is one of the outspok en wets of the country. George Gets Office. While Mrs. Felton was waiting to take the oath of office as “senator for a day” from Georgia, Senator-elect Walter F. George established himself in the offices he will occupy for the next .four years in the senate office building. Senator George was assigned to suite No. 129 on the first floor. These were the offices occupied by the late Senator Watson. The nameplate on tlie door was changed Tuesday morning, and “Mr. George” took the place of “Mr. Watson.” Many Georgians residing in Wash ington dropped in at the offices of Senator George on Tuesday and con gratulated him on his election. The number included both men and women, for there is quite a colony of Georgians in Washington. Senator and Mrs. George accepted an invitation to be the guests of the Georgia Society of Washington on Wedensday evening. The reception in honor of the new senator and his wife will be held at. the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Tiller, the former being president of the society. If Mrs. Felton remains in Washington over Wednesday, she, too, probably will at tend the reception. Science in High School,” by Superin tendent L. M. Lester.
