DEFEATS
HAMPTON.
Fayetteville High School defeated the
strong Hampton High schol basket-ball
team Friday afternoon at Hampton.
The game was very interesting, be
cause the teams were almost equally
matched. The game was fast and
clean throughout. The score was 14
to 8. Beadles, Evans and Travis made
the points for Fayetteville. Edwards
and Fowler made the points for Hamp
ton. This game makes the third vic
tory for us since the basket-ball sea
son started.
Our game next Friday will be with
Starr High school played here. This
y will be one of our best games for the
season, as they are one of our strongest
opponents, so we will have to fight
harder for the game.
The line up and score for Friday’s
game is as follows:
Fayetteville— Hampton—
Travis, E,. r.f. (2) Williams, r.f.
Beadles, l.f. (8) Fowler, l.f. (6)

More Cotton In Whitfield
Dalton.—In spite of the boil weevil
Whitfield county appears to have made
more cotton this year than last. 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.
To make a fool angry, call him one.

term of my normal music school, to be held at Corinth Church, two
miles southeast of Kepwood, beginning January the first and continu

Harmony pupils will pay $7.00, and those not taking harmony will pay
$4.50 ON ENTERING.

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.

Dinner Given In Honor of Board of
Education.
A beautiful event of the past week
was the dinner given by Miss Lucile
Burnett and her two classes in cook
ery in honor of the members of the
two school boards, the two chairman
of the Childs Welfare Committee, the
president of the Woman’s Club, and
Superintendent and Mrs. L. 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. Miss Lillie Pearl Mc-
Elwaney of the Senior class, gave a

Soldier Given Year For Killing
Atlanta.—For stabbing to death h}s
comrade, F. -G. Quinn, in the rooms •
of Mrs. Bertha Poulos, on October 25,
J. O. 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.

tendent L. M. Lester. Later each guest
stated his appreciation, and Mr. C. D.
Redwine, chairman of the city board,

classes in cookery formally, for the
lovely occasion.
The menu consisted of: Oyster stew,
crisp crackers, olives, celery, turkey,

Given Freedom After Fatal Shooting
Atlanta.—W. O. Lindsey, who accci-
dentaly killed R. L. Pair with a small
caliber pistol, was exonerated by a
coroner’s jury, and ordered released
from the custody of the police. In the
verdict the jury described the tragedy
as “accidental.”
Savannah.—For the first time wom
en are members of the campaign or
ganizations in a municipal campaign
in Savannah. Mrs. Paschall Strong
and Mrs. I. P. Mendes being made
two vice presidents of the J. M. Rogers
Mayoralty Club, which has named P.
E. Seabrook president and perfected its
organization covering the city, betokens
a warm race. The Murray M. Stewart
forces are to be organized at once.
Savananh.—The fall reunion of the
co-ordinated Scottish Rite bodies, the
A. and A. S. R. of Freemasonry was
held in Savannah, with Masons from
all sections of the territory present.
Degrees were conferred upon many
classes. On special dispensation re
cently, the Scottish Rite Masons of
Savannah conferred in one day all the
degrees up to the 32° upon Rev. Gipsy
Smith, Jr., who had been here in a
revival campaign of a month.
Atlanta.—Fire of undetermined on
gin damaged several automatic pianos
to the extent of about two thousand
dollars at night in the store room of
the Automatic Player Piano company,
on the second floor of the building ad
joining the chamber of commerce on
North Pryor street. Lieut. W. B. Fan
ning of engine house No. 2 was over
come by smoke while attempting to
snter a room on the third floor of the
building with a hose.
Atlanta.—Reports from various parts
of the country indicate that the car
Bhdrtage is by no means a thing of the
past and that because of it many lum
ber manufacturers are being forced to
curtail shipments in the face of a heavy
lemand and satisfactory prices, accord-
tag to the American Lumberman. It
[ May be stated, however, that Atlanta
wad immediate vicinity has not been
seriously affected, as one of the biggest
building booms in the history of this
section is now in process, and there is
to let-up.
Macon.—The Joe Noel post of the
American Legion and the Merchants’
bureau jointly has signed a contract
ivith a company to stage a mid-air cir
cus in Macon, in which daring aerial
stunts will he performed. A' young
will jump from one plane to another,
walk on the wings of the machine,
hang from her toes from the wing of
the machine and perform' other stunts
equally as daring. The Macon Legion
expects to stage the’ greatest mid-air
cjrcus ever bfcfore attempted in the
annals of air entertainment.
Thomasville.—There will be an exo
dus of sportsmen out of Thomasville
I very soon, the party going down to
| the big lakes, Miccosoukie and Iamonia,
; below here, for duck shooting. While
; the ducks are pretty plentiful, there
' will be when cold weather develops up
North, as the season there is said to
; have been very mild so far. Several
! parties are planning to go «out after
quail. The “little brown beauties” are
! plentiful this season. A good many
; covies have been seen just on the
outskirts of town.
Thomasville.—The body of David
Harvard, wellknown traveling man of
this city, was found the other night
lying beside his automobile in a high
way near Thomasville. Harvard’s neck
was broken and a front wheel of the
car was crushed in. Authorities are
investigating to determine whether the
wheel collapsed throwing Harvard ou
or whether he was in a collision with
another car. It is believed that the
accident was the result of a collision,
but it is hard for the officials to de
termine.
WHY DOG LOLLS
O UT TONGUE
The dog sticks its tongue out when
it pants, and this is an unconscious
effort to increase the evaporating sur
face of the body. Heat required to
evaporate perspiration caused by ex
ertion cools the body.
Savannah.—A. L. Jiles, a member ot
the Savannah.police force, is held here
for the Effingham county authorities
on a charge of shooting Lawrence
Mitchell, a printer, through the neck
; near Guyton, Ga. The shooting, the
officer declares, was in teU-defens**.
The trouble between the men is said
to have started when Jiles became in
volved in a family affair—trouble in
which an Effingham comity man i9
said to have beaten ap his wile. Jiles
declares that all the parties to the
trouble ware drinking and that he had
no hand >n the affair, but that'\vhen
Mitchell asrailed him he firm; on him.
: Mitchell is in a serious condition in a
I hospital in Savannah.
