CROPS IN ELMoRE.


Farmers Abandoning Half OF Their
Farms to save Remainder.
wetumpka, June 23.-(Special.) 1.-THE
condition of farms in Gilmore County
Is worse than 1t has ever been at the
season of the year. Daily rains have
prevented planters from working out
their crops, and the outlook 10 indeed
gloomy as the rains still continue. A
prominent farmer said yesterday he
had abandoned half of his crop In the
EFFORT to save the other half.
owing TO unsettled weather condi-
lions, the laymen's meeting which was
to have been held at the Methodist
Church, July 20 and 20, has been IN
definitely postponed.
The Baptists of the community are
making preparations for the associa-
ton which convenes here in July. The
renodeIling of the Baptist Church Is
completed with the exception OF the
installation of the windows.
Work on the Methodist Church is
progressing rapidly. About $500, will
be spent in identifying the old build
ing constructed in ante-bellum days.
Miss L. !. Fielder and Miss margaret
Macon will leave in a few days Tor
New York to study during the summer
months.
Examinations of Gilmore County
teachers will be held In Eclectic IN
stead OF Wetumpka, in July.

MRS. MATLoCK TALKS ON SCHOOL
RETIREMENT.


University, June 23.-(Special. Mrs.
=. d. Matlock, ex-President of the
Alabama school Improvement Associa-
ton, delivered q forceful address June
20 before the summer school on the
work that is being done by the Assoc
citation.
After pointing out that 81 per cent
of the children of the State were in
the rural districts, Mrs Matlock said.
In part:
The deplorabie condition of the ma
jority OF our school houses and grounds
Is q reflection on the people OF the
communities in which they are located
and on the teacher who has had charge
of the schools. In too many instances
the young teacher Of country school
accepts the position merely for the
salary, expecting to remain only until
a position In town can be secured. and
1t is sad to relate that some of the
more responsible positions are held
by persons who prefer to have as lit
tie agitation of school questions as pos
sible lest their own inefhciency and
Incidence be discovered.
Mrs Matlock then told Of the good
that had been accomplished by the
School Improvement Association. men
tioning the work Of the Tuscaloosa
County Association. which won the
$1,000 prize. This county association
has forty-seven local associations, and
during the year raised and expended
$4,546.78.
At the close OF her address, Mrs.
Matlock introduced the succeeding
President of The State Association,
Mrs. H. C. Gunnels, who made very
helpful talk to the teachers. making
many valuable suggestions.
The conference on secondary educa-
ton continued June % and among
those present were Messrs. J M. Bur-
nett, Helm; r.. e. Tidwell, Ensiey;

In part:
'"The employment of young teachers

ers we would have only good salaries.
Low salaries. not cause Of few men.
