Farmer. leading deacon in the First Baptist church for over fifteen years and superintendent of the Sunday school. yesterday rendered his resigna- tion of both offices to take effect at once. The resignation Is not believed to be on account of any friction in church or Sunday school and no reason was assigned but 1t is understood to be prompted by the best motives and fs intended to avoid undue criticism on the church and Sunday school be- cause of his proposed fight against constitutional amendment in the com- ing election.
 It is reported that he will stump Houston county opposing the amend ment. As a church and Sunday school worker. Byrd Farmer would be hard to excel. He is one of the potent forces that has given the strength to the First Baptist church. which ranks 1t among the foremost in the State.

SHOWER YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
 BREAKS DROUGHT.
Big Help to Famlshed Crop and Lessens LOsses-LightninE Strikes Houses Slightly Injuring Two
 Persons.

The weather man worked overtime yesterday, in arranging a situation to suit all Montgomery. Choosing an af- ternoon with the home team on the road. he sent the rain.
 Thousands of acres of cotton around Montgomery drank in the sudden show CT, which dampened the tops already grown sterile in the long drought.
 The rain, a sudden shower, and not Of long duration, probably did more at this juncture toward the salvation of a great part of the local cotton crop than any other factor. Farmers have prayed during the last three weeks for relief from the drought. and even the small relief that was afforded yes- terday came as heaven-sent. Three days longer of the dryness, and there would have been much sadness in this section.
 Not only farmers, but the city man and the oflce dwellers, were gladdened by the shower and its breeze. Fluffy Ruffies. of course. caught the bad end of the deal. for there was lightning with the shower. but even that was en- durable with the rain.
 The rain was accompanied by a thun- der storm that did some damage to three houses at 303. 305 and BOT North McDonough Street. Each was struck by lightning. The damage at the first two was confined to the electrical wir- ing No. 307. occuped by Mir. W. J. Ryan, was damaged in the root and the ceiling of several up stars rooms was ripped to pieces and thrown down. Mir. Ryan and his daughter Annie were slightly shocked, but recovered in a few minutes.
