MORE MONEY NEEDED
BY POWER CONCERNS
Ten Millions of Dollars Are Re
quired for Development Pro
gram of Atlanta Plant, De
clares Official.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 16. —The vit
al importance of ample power
supply for the development of At
lanta and surrounding territory,
the difficulty of it securing capital to
make necessary extensions in pow
er faculties and the injury done
bv insufficient rales, were the
principal points stressed by H. M.
Atkinson, chairman of the directo
rate of the Georgia Railway and
Power Company in an address be
fore the Atlanta real estate board.
Mr. Atkinson declared that his
company needs more than SIO,OOO,
000 for its development program
during the next two years, saying
that unless these extensions are
j carried out it will be impossible
!to meet the demand for electric
power.
Mr. Atkinson outlined the
changes due to war conditions,
j and declared that the costs of
| various items had increased in far
larger proportions than the in
creases in public utility rates. He
called for “an understanding of
the simple truth that it is impossi
ble to make two and two five, or
to make forty, fifty or sixty cents
equal one hundred cents.”
He told how operations under
war conditions resulted in a float
ing debt for the power company
of around $5,000,000, stating that j
the company during the period
from 1917 to 1920 furnished serv
ice out of borrowed money be
cause rates were insufficient to
pay the cost of the service. “That” j
he said, “is the reason Tugalo dam
has not been finished.”
" Rates that square with the
law creating the railroad commis
sion and with the decisions of the
supreme court of the United
States will amply provide the re
quirements of the money market. I
“The only cure for present con
ditions is a permanent rule where
by rates that will pay a fair rale
of return of investment can be
relied on. This is the fair, honest,
just rule.” '

LIMITATION OF
ARMAMENTS FAIL
The following extract taka*
| from Hon. W. I). Upshaw’s sLc»”
I ovation on the spiritual lesson cY
the armistice anniversary.
Compacts Have Failed.
“Solemn compacts between met.
and nations have failed througJL
the weary blood-stained centuries,
treaties of peace have failed whif v
the suffering people of the earlSv
have looked on with agony am.,
despair.
“I stand here today as ahumhlfc
believer in Him who came preach
ing ‘peace on earth, good will to
men,’ and declare my almost des
perate conviction that a limitation
of armaments itself will fail —tar.
men fought and killed each othez
before firearms were ever knowno
—all, all will fail, and treaties tuani
agreements among nations Mi l
continue to be ‘scraps of papes
unless the rulers of earth and the
people from whose consent Uwr>
gain their power, shall go back ter
rock bottom and straighten m
with God.
“All, all will fail without the e«-
generating and transforming pour-*
er of the Christ of Cavalry, Mm
Prince of Peace in the hearts of
men and women everywhere.
“It is related that in the da»k
and troublous hour just following:
the American revolution, whe:.
tory and liberalist were trying tc
graff their clash of ideas upon the
instrum nt of the unformed con
stitution, Benjamin Franklin arosA
and said: ‘Mr. Chairman: Has it
ever occurred to you and the men
of the convention that we who.
are trying to give a nation into
the fellowship of the nations oft
earth, have been so very short
sighted that we have never asked
for help and guidance from the
G'xl of nations? 1 move you, sir
that some God-fearing man among
us be called upon to implead tbs
tiirone of divine grace that we
who are trying to form and build
a new-made nation may be given
the conscious fellowship and lead
ership of Almighty God.’
“Lest We Forget.”
“Mr. Speaker, in this anxious
and far-reaching hour, I speak cl
behalf of the empty-hearted moth
er of that unknown soldier lying
yonder beneath the beauty of our
flag ar.d the wilderness of flowers
and tears, I speak in behalf of te r
million graves and more than tan
million shattered homes of earth
—I speak in behalf of the ’almost
shattered foundation of our clier
ished civilization, when I declare
that nothing would so deeply im
press the watching nations of trier
world as to see the members oi
the congress fait on their
knees and cry in confession of ski
and contrition of heart, ‘God of
our fathers be with us vet, test
we forget, lest we forget.”
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our friends
and relatives for their kindness
shown us during the illness a mi
death of our father -md husband
also, for the beautiful floral offer
ings. May God add His blessings
unto all.
