OF GEORGIA.

committeeman of Georgia, has been
selling post-office patronage was re
quested in a resolution introducted
in the senate Thursday by Senator
! Harris, Democrat, Georgia.
The Harris resolution declared that
“whereas, it is reported that the na
can party in the state of Georgia has
tional committeeman of the Republi
engaged in the barter of federal of
fices or of his influence in respect of
appointments to such offices:
“Therefore, be it
“Resolved that the president of the
senate is authorized to appoint a
special committee of three members

port to the senate as soon as practi
cable the facts in respect of the bar- |
ter or of influence in respect of ap
pointments to such offices, in the j

Cotton As Bale Binder
In Place of Jute Is
Advocated By Harris
Washington, Dec. 9.—ln an effort
to relieve depression in the cotton
market, Senator Harris, Democrat,
Georgia, Thursday offered a resolu
tion directing the secretaries of com- |
merce and agriculture to provide for
the use of low grade cotton in the
manufacture of government and for \
covering of cotton bales in place of |
jute, which is imported from India.
“Low grade cotton,” Senator Har
ris said, “is just as strong as other
grades and the surplus of this grade
is what causes the low price.
“If cotton is used instead of jute
for tare, the farmers would be saved
thousands of dollars,” he added.
THE VIDALjA ADVANCE
I MERRY CHRISTMAS I
To our customers and Friends: I
* SB
we extend the greeting of the season, and I
our best wishes for a Happy New Year I
I We have all much to be thankful
for this Christmas season. The year I
no* ending has ben marked by great- I
er progress than ever before in the up- I
building of our State, and an even B
brighter prospect looms up for 1927. I
New industries and new citizens in in- E
■ creasing numbers are seeking loca- I
• tions in our State. But of even great
-3 er importance than this is the fact that B
B 1926 has ben notable for the new spir- B
I it of co-operation among all the ele- B
ments of cur citizenship in work for I B
the welfare of Georgia. , I m
The welcome Georgia is extending 3
to new industries, and the friendliness
I and fairness toward invested capital
which characterizes our people, is
paying big dividends. And, to a great- *
er extent than ever before, all our peo
ple during 1926 have been united, in
sentiment and action, in doing those B
things which make Georgia grow. B
/ |||l|
We have endeavored to contribute
our part toward the attainment of this
ij great objective. The present year I m
has been an important one in the his
tory of Georgia because of the rapid
strides which have been made in ex-
H tending electric service to new com- B
munities and new sections. The re
sult has been not only that these com
|l munities have obtained the manifold B
advantages of electric service, includ
ling power for industrial expansion, B
but that Georgia’s invitation to new
industries have been given greater
weight because the number of availa
ble industrial sites has been increased.
Iln the future, as in the past, we will I ■
be glad to co-operate with any of the I I B
communities we serve in obtaining I fl
new industries and in any other move
ment for their development and ex
pansion. B
