Thursday, Oct. 15, 1936 FTrsFTVrCity Sponsors Rural Power Movement The Tennlessee Valley Authority announced today that the City of Athene, Alabama, the first city in Aabama to contract for TV A power, has also become the first to sponsor a county-wide rural network to bring TVA power to the surrounding farm areas. Arrangements have just been completed, the announcement states, where by Athens will acquire from TVA all of the Authority's rural lines in Limestone County, and, in addition, construct some 65 miles of new lines with funds borrowed from J the Rural Electrification Administration. The result will be a combined rural system radiating out of Athens and serving a total of 649 farm customers on 135 miles of line. Transfer of the TVA lines to Athens will be made on October 31. and arrangements for construction of the new REA lines will be undertaken immediately. The rural customers 1 will receive power at the standard TVA resale rates, plus an amortiza- ' tion fee of 1 cent per kilowatt hour up to the first 100 kilowatt hours ' per month, which will be used to re- 1 tire the cost of the lines. The City of Athens first began to 1 receive TVA power for its munici- 4 pal electric system on June 1. 1934, ' and since that time its electrial de velopment under TVA rates has attracted nation-wide interest. Re- 1 tween June, 1934, and September, 1 1936, consumption of electricity doub { led, and average home use increased threefold, from 51 kwh to 151 kwh. 4 On September 1, 1936, 78', of the ' city's customers ha 1 electric refriizer- 5 ators, 35',' electric ranges, and 14', * eletric water heaters. During the period of TV A power service, the number of customers increased from 692 to 1,032. Addition ^ of the rural system will bring the ^ total to nearly 1,700. The plan for extension of rural lines by municipal electric systems has been put into practice by a number of cities distributing TVA power. Within the past year, extensive rural systems were constructed by the cities of Dayton and Pulaski, Tennessee, and New Albany, Mississippi. An RE A grant for a 70-mile rural network has recently been received by the city of Holly Springs, Mississippi, and the cities of Bolivar. Milan, and Soniervillc, Tennessee, are all proceeding with surveys for rural lines radiati: g out of their municipal 1 systems. In :i nu :ige To "ay.-r RfSj II. Ri?-liardsoni jr., of Athens.

Oct. 15?There mil .t be no makeshift substituted for Christ's gospel if the world is to retrain its equilibrium, the Rev. George W. Truett, pastor of the hirst Baptist church of Pallas, Texas, and president of the Baptist World Alliance. said Sunday afternoon at the mass meeting which marked the close of the National Breaching Mission here. Thousands attended the final session of the four-day mission which is a part 01 a national program arranged by the Federal Council of Churches. After predicting that "stupenduous changes" will take place in government, and in economic, industrial, social, financial moral and religious renditions, Dr. Truett said Christianity alone could affect a worthwhile reconstruction. 8 Billions Spent Since Prohibition On Liquor, Beer CHICAGO, Oct. lf??The Ameri-i can Business Men's Research Foundation has estimated the people of the United States had spent more than S.OCO,000,000 for alcholic beverages since prohibition ended.

The pri e of dairy feeds in North Carolina has risen more than 35 per cent since June 1, he pointed out, and there is possibility of still a further increa e as a result of the midwestern drought during the past summer. A rev also stated on many dairy farms it is advisable to grow winter hays as well as summer hays to insure an adequate supply throughout :>.e year. Winter hays are r.ot affected by dry weather as are those grown in summer. lie recommended that the following mixtui- for winter hay should be shown during the early part of October on well fertilized soil: Two bushels of winter oats, one bushel of beardless barley, one-half bushel of breadless wheat, and either 20 pound of Austrain winter peas lerokee Scout, Murphy, Ni P WITH BOARD OF COLLECTIONS GOOD i! sioners met with the Sheriff on the jvided by law to settle with the I im $101,322.18.

This quantity of seed is enough for o:.e acre. Yields of 'wo to three tons of hay per acre have been secured from this mixture. Mowing she uld be done when the cereals are in the milk stage, as the hay cut at that time will be of better quality than that cut when the crop is more mature. Permanent pastures can ais? be seeded in most parts of the State up to the middle of October. Seed mixtures for various sections are given in extension circular No. '202, which may be secured free from the agricultural editor at State College, Raleigh. KNOX IS HEARD ...

Before starting to deliver his prepared address Knox recognized the World War veterans from Qteen hospital present, and urged the United States to avoid the war-like situation that has arisen in Europe, and to steer clear of a dictatorship which, he said, deprived citizens of their basic rghts. Co!. Knox prefaced his half-hour address here, the them- of which wa? ' free enterprise", with special refer nee to North Carolina, with a few remarks pointed at President Roosevelt and his use of a Bibica! text in a recent address at Charoltte. Could Use One Sentence The candidate said: "I might also choose a text from that sacred work. There i- the parable of the man who buried the ten taients and thus used then: unproductive!}*. There is a sermon in that. There is al o the parable of the prodigal son. There is a sermon there. There is the story of the unhap) y Biblical character who sold his birth-right for a mess of porridge. I could easily devote my time tonight to one sentence from the Bible, that solemn statement th&. "by their fruits ye shall know them''. There is an even more somber statement in our Bible: "They know not what they do".
