HEYwARD-sPEER, MACON.

Macon, Ga, March 10.-Mr. Andrew.
Hasell Hayward of Charleston, and
Miss Marion Speer were married to-
night.
The invited guests to the wedding
were Miss Plant of Texas, Miss Hughes
of Danville, Mr.. Alexander Marshall
of Charleston, and Mr.. Walter Hen
derson of Charleston. In the absence
of Rev. F. F. Reese, rector of Christ
Episcopal church, who is in New
York, the ceremony was performed by
Rev. John M. Northrop of st. Paurs
Episcopal Church. Immediately after
the ceremony the couple left for Mas
sau. where they will spend some time.
Their future home will be at Charles
ton.
Miss Speer was the last unmarried
daughter of Judge Emory Speer, Judge
of the United States court for the
Southern District of Georgia. The
ceremony was performed at his beau
tiful home in Vineville, The Cedars.
The bridal presents were numerous
and remarkably handsome.
Few young ladies have ever been
more popular in society in Georgia
than has the bride since her debut.
She inherits the brilfance of mind
that has made her father one of the
nations conspicuous figures for years,
and this, with beauty and grace, have
enabled Miss Speer easily to adorn the
circle in which she moved.
Mr.. Hayward is one of those young
men of talents and industry who bid
fair to rise to prominence in whatever
line of business they engage, and for
him and his bride great happiness and
success are predicted.

MERCURY WENT A WAY UP.
AZ Degrees Above Normal for First
10 Days of March.

The first ten days of March
have been above the nor
NAL in climatical conditions. The
records of the local weather
bureau show the temperature to have
been AZ degrees in excess for this pc
Rad, or an average of about degrees
daily.
The warmest day was the Sth, with
a maximum mercury reading of II de-
grees, and the coolest "A degrees on
the 3D.. The rainfall amounted to 1.3S
inches, or rs inch of excess. Yester-
day was also a warm day, the mercury
coming within $40 degrees of equal
ing that of the Sth. This temperature,
however, is by no means a record
breaker as the mercury has frequently
climbed higher during a corresponding
period in previous Marches.
Rain is predicted to-day with colder
conditions in the northwest portion of
the state. Tomorrow will be fair with
light south winds, becoming northwest.
The conditions existing throughout
the country yesterday as reported by
Local Forecaster Boyer were as fol-
lows:
Except the eastern slope of the
Rockies and the extreme Northwest,
rain has fallen over most of the coun-
try east of the Rockies, Memphis re-
porting 1.S4 inches.
1T is colder over the Dakotas and
Nebraska, while over the Atlantic
coast from Maine to North Carolina
and the southern half of the Rocky
Mountain slope temperatures are low
er; over the central Sections the Their
NAL values show more or less of an
increase.
"Pressures are highest over the
Northwest and the Middle Atlantic
coast, while a storm is entering the
North Pacific coast and slight distur-
Dances are central off the Texas coast
and in the Middle Mississippi valley.
High winds are reported from
Washington and Oregon, and a thun-
der storm was experienced at Palestine
during the night"

SOCIETY IN SPRING.

Informal Entertainments.

BannOn Lodge the Scene of Many
Informal Entertainments.
AS the spring days grow warmer,
suggesting the approach of summer,
people are falling almost unconsciously
into the habits of summer time. Troll
ley rides of an afternoon to the nearby
resorts, quiet evenings at the Yacht
Club or the Casino, even trips to Ty-
bee, are already beginning, and every
day there are parties, large and small,
TO be seen enjoying an hour or two of
pleasure in the country. ~
At Bannon Lodge, in particular,
town visitors increase in number with
every week. Hardly a day passes that
the popular little inn does not welcome
guests from the city, happy in the cer-
tainty of a delicious meal and enjoy
ing to the fullest the quiet after-hours
on the piazza with a glimpse of the
river in the distance, and the moon
light making the world beautiful at
night. There are luncheons of that
charming informal kind arranged by
mutual agreement in a circle of con-
genial friends and little suppers where
the particular chosen few meet for the
evening.
Yesterday there was a single lunch
con party of twenty at the Lodge. and
in the evening about forty people in
all were present.

PICNICKERS PREPARE.

Outlook Auspicious for Prosperous
senson for the Island.
If the present outlook be any critic
rion Tybee Island will enjoy a most
prosperous season this year. 1t has
been growing in favor as resort from
year to year, not only locally, but all
through the state, and as place for
picnics is probably the most popular
resort in the neighborhood of Savan-
nah.
That it will get even more of such
entertainments this year than formerly,
is probable from the fact that already
different organizations are planning to
have their annual outings there. West
minister Presbyterian Church has all
ready arranged for its picnic to be held
there about June l, and one of the
Kings Daughters circles will have a
similar entertainment about the mid
die of May.

TO PLAY FOR THE LADIES CUP.
An event Of special interest to femi-
nine members of the Golf Club is be-
ing arranged for Saturday, March 81
a ladies' handicap tournament for the
club cup. This will be the fourth tour
nament of the kind since the establish
ment of the Golf Club. The cup was
won by Miss Elizabeth Haskell two
Years in succession, and was then won
by Miss Freda Rauers, who now holds
1t, no tournament having been played
last year.
To enter. it is only necessary to hand
in ones name and average score as
no qualifying matches are played. The
handicaps will be arranged from the
scores thus presented so as to give the
contestant, as nearly as possible, equal
chances, if playing up to their usual
game.
There is always a particular fascina-
ton about handicap tournaments, so
many of which are played in the long
spring afternoons every year, and with
the added chance of winning the cup,
no doubt there will be many entries for
the annual match.

+Our Investigations have gone back

the evidence before us shows that cor.

hide or to ignore rather to expose
and punish this infamous crime. p,
Laws have been sold to the highest

have evidence of. We believe that

MAY CALL LEGISLATURE.
Flood Condition Throughout State
May Make 1t Necessary.

DeS MoineS. June 1.-GOVernoI
Cummins may call an extra session
of the general assembly early this
week for the purpose of taking meas.
ures to relieve the well-nigh desper-
ate conditions caused in many parts
of Iowa by the floods. In case such
an extra session is called undoubted.
ly it will make an appropriation for
the providential contingent fund,
which is now practically run out. AS
things stand now, the executive coun.
Gil is absolutely helpless in the face
of flood disasters that in point of loss
of property and of extent of human
suffering excel any similar calamities
in the history of the state.
The last general assembly appropri-
ated $4,000 for the providential con-
tngent fund There is but $4,000 left.
The recent destruction of property
at Glenwood has entailed losses that
it will require $4,000 to repair tenn
porarily. Today the board of con.
troll will ask an appropriation out of
the contingent fund to assist in max.
ing needed repairs, but even If the en-
tire sum is turned over to the board,
the amount will be far inadequate TO
the needs of the institution.
Prominent citizens here have al
ready discussed the situation with
Governor Cummins. The governor
last night had not decided whether he
would call an extra session, though
he freely said there were many rea-
sons why it should be done. He took
the view that the developments of a
day or two would show whether the
suffering was confined to the cities
chiefly. In that case, each commun.
ity could take care of its own distress.
ed In case, however, it develops
that in the smaller towns and the
country districts, conditions are SO
bad that relief is imperative, then the
governor said he would call an extra
session.
The cost of an extra session for a
day would not exceed $1,000, it is
figured, providing the members of the
legislature would serve without pay.
No question is entertained that they
would do this. AS to the practical
working out of plan for preventing
distress, it is suggested that the leg
islature appropriate from $4,000 to
100000 for the providential contin.
gent fund, to be expended at the dis.
erection of the council. Through
mayors of towns and the trustees of
townships it would be possible then
for the council to give such aid as
the exigencies of each locality might
seem to demand
