SOUTHERN RAILWAY CONSID
ERING HANDLING THROUGH
TRAINS OVER G. & F. FROM
AUGUSTA TO VALDOSTA.
Through trains from the east to
Florida may be handled over the G.
& F. Railway this winter if plans
that are now being discussed by the
officials of this road and the Southern
Railway materialize.
The Georgia & Florida is consider
ing putting on additional passenger
service and they are negotiating with
the Southern with a view to handling
some of their sleepers from eastern
points to Florida on these proposed
trains.
A group of officials from these two
roads made an inspection trip over
the G. & F. line last week, the of
ficials including R. C. Hicks, traffic
manager of the Georgia & Florida,
D. F. Kirkland, assistant traffic man
ager of the same line; W. H. Taylor,
passenger traffic manager of the
Southern Railway, with headquarters
at Washington, D. C., and J. C.
Beam, assistant general passenger
agent of the Southern Railway, with
headquarters in Atlanta.
The officials were met by a number
of Vidalia citizens who urged the es
tablishment of this through train ser
vice. Use of the G. & F. line from
Augusta to Valdosta would mean a
much shorter route to Florida than
\
the routes at present used and would
result in the Southern being able to
offer better schedule to tourists.
FILLING STATION TO DONATE
RECEIPTS TO CHURCH FUND
Mr. E. L. Meadows, proprietor of
the Meadows Buick Co., announces
that beginning Dec. Ist and contin
uing one year, he will donate all net
receipts from his filling station on
Meadows street to the Methodist
church building fund.\
The offer is a very generous one
and will be learned of by the mem
bers of the church with much pleas
ure, as the monthly receipts Horn this
source will make a substantial de
crease in the church debt during the
course of a year.

SEATEDAS SEBATOB
GEORGIA WOMAN, THROUGH
THE COURTESY OF SENATOR
GEORGE, WINS DISTINCTION
AS FIRST WOMAN SENATOR.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 21.—After
the end of a constitutional argument
raised by Senator Walsh of Montana,
who finally contended that she was
entitled temporarily to a seat, Mrs.
William H. Felton, eighty-seven, of
Cartersville, Ga., took the oath of of
fice as a senator of the United States
at 1:50 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Thus Mrs. Felton became the first
woman senator in the country’s his
tory.
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 senate
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 jn of Mrs. FJton
came after her credentials of tempo
rary appointment by Governor Hard
wick were read to the senate, and af
ter Senator Walsh, seeking to clarify
the final legal points involved ,had
concluded the argument which for a
time delayed the ceremony.
Even Senator Applauded.
Even senators joined in the ap
plause as Mrs. Felton said “I do,”
after President Pro Tempore Cummins
had read the oath of office. Senator
Pat Harrison of Mississippi started
the hand-clapping. Applause is sel
dom heard }n the senate and is con
trary to the rules.
Senator Harris, Democrat, Georgia,
soon after the senate convened, ad
dressed the presiding officer, tender
ing the credentials of Mrs. Felton,
announcing that Walter F. George,
who was elected senator from Geor
gia at the November 7th election, had
agreed to withhold his credentials,
and expressing the hope that no sen
ator would object tp the honoring of
American wcmr.nhocd bv a scat at
this time in the senate, if only for a
day.

NUMBER 47
TOBACCO MARKET IS
ASSURER FOR 1923
OFFICERS OF VIDALIA TOBACCO
WAREHOUSE CLOSE CONTRACT
WITH EXPERIENCED WARE*
HOUSEMAN FOR SEASON.
The re-opening of the Vidalia To
bacco Warehouse for next year and
the resumption of a tobacco market
at Vidalia for tobacco growers in this
immediate section was assured Sat-*,
urday when officers of the Vidalia
Tobacco Warehouse closed a contract
with -Mr. J. R. Hutchings, an expe
rienced warehouseman of Sanford,
N. C., to conduct the warehouse
next year.
Mr. Hutchings comes highly re
commended an expert warehouse
man and is held in high esteem by
the buyers of the different companies
in the tobacco territory. He has al
ready had promises of a full corps
of buyers from the leading compa
nies and is looking forward to a suc
cessful season in Vidalia.
Increased Acreage.
Indications point to a considerable
increase in acreage in tobacco in this
immediate territory. Reports from
the Collins section, where gr wers
were fortunate in securing! experts to
advise them the first few years of
undertaking to grow tobacco, and
where they have always made a finan
cial success of their crons, is that the
acreage in that section will be consid
erably increased for nex* year.
The acreage around Vidalia will be
much heavier the coming year. On
the E. L. Meadows plantation near
Vidalia from 40 to 50 acres will be
in tobacco, Mr. Meadows having con
tacted with Mr. R. B. Hester, who
was demonstrator in the Collins sec
tion for several years, to have charge
of the drop. Mr. Hester will have'
from 20 to 25 acres individually and
Mr. Meadows says other farmers witk
put in fully 20 acres more.
May Secure Demonstrator.
Local business men are working on
a plan to secure a sufficient fund to
rmplor Mr. Hcstp- for the six weeks,
from this date to January Ist and to
use Mr. Hutchings a dcroonst-ator
from January 'to TuTv Ist. It is
believed that if t.hi; i; Co-a a large ,
number of farm'—s will rut it a r :inl!
