Examination Necessary.

State Superintendent of Education
Whitfield has passed an important
question to the Attorney General for
decision. Some time ago the Supreme
Court decided that those teachers who
had taught five years up to 1892 were
not exempt from examinations. Since
that time elementary agriculture has
been added to the curriculum, and
teachers all over the state are writing
Superintendent Whitfield to know
whether this addition will vitiate their
exemptions. The former decision was
based on the fact that the history Of
civil government has been added to
the curriculum. The question has been
referred to the Attorney General for
decision, as the Superintendent can
not decide it. If the adding of ele-
mentary agriculture to the curriculum,
which was done by the last legislature,
operates against the teachers, those
who are supposed to be exempt will
have to be re-examined.

AN AMENDMENT
WAS OFFERED
BY MR.. BACON FOR MORE COT.
TON REPORTS.
SEMI-MONTHLY REPORTS
During August, September, October,
November and December. Traces
Low Prices to an Infrequency Of
Gotten Reports.

Washington The senate heard ten
witnesses in the Swayne impeachment
trial and devoted the remainder Of its
time to the consideration of the ag-
ricultural appropriation bill. The ma
jor portion of the debate in connection
with the appropriation bill was based
on an amendment suggested by Mr..
Bacon, providing for semi-monthly
reports on the condition Of the cotton
crop which was amended so as to
cover the last five months of the year
and adopted.
Mr.. Bacon in offering his amend
ment providing for semi-monthly re-
ports on the cotton crop said that no
provision could be incorporated in the
bill that would be of SO much impor-
lance to the cotton producers as this
ONE. He traced the failure Of the
growers to secure profitable returns
from last seasons crop to the infre-
quency Of the official reports. The loss
of one month on this account had not
been less than $40,000,00O He also
urged that the secretary should pub
lish synopsis Of the information on
which his estimate is based as well as
the estimate itself.
Mr.. Proctor presented a letter from
the chief statistician Of the agricultu-
raj department showing that the adop-
ton Of the Bacon cotton amendment
would involve an additional cxpendi-
ture Of 1868, 900 per annum.
Mr.. Bailey thought if the increase
could be made for the months Of Au-
gust, September, October, November
and December it would answer for the
purpose Of the farmers.
Mr.. Money said that the estimates
Of the agricultural department were re-
liable.
The amendment was adopted after
being changed so as to require semi
monthly reports for the months Of
August, September, October, Novcm-
Der and December and $1,000 was
added to the amount appropriated.
Mr.. H1RsSToueh presented an amend
meat intended to meet the condition
eeused BY the recent rulings of the
treasury department on tariff rebates
on wheat.
Pending the consideration of this
amendment the senate held q short
executive session and adjourned at
5 80 p. m.
