ATLANTA, Ga, May 10-AIthouch &C.
cupied today with important business at
sessions of their respective assemblies,

terian Church organizations, the north
ern, southern, United and Associated Re-

During the ten-day joint sessions a pro-
-posal to amalgamate these organizations

there is no certainty that such a proposr
al will be adopted.

both the northern and southern organiza-
tions. A feature of the days program was

berships
Appointing committees for the present
Congress is difficult task. Owing TO the
rule adopted by the democratic caucus
the men who serve on the ma jorities OF
the twelve major committees will not be
placed on any other committee. MIR. Un-
derwood and others now believe that
rule was trifie too severe, as it takes
144 democrats to make the majorities OF
the dozen major committees and leaves
1j6 democrats to be placed on abou,
forty smaller committees. and for thai
reason eacn of the forty minor commit
tees will be filled up by men with three
and four committee assignments. In ad
dition. the House will have two new com
mittees. one on roads and another or

Destruction at Seward.

At Seward a much greater disaster was
averted by the fact that the tornado
crossed only comparatively small part
of the town, instead of sweeping across
the more densely populated section two
blocks south. The property loss in that
city is estimated at 100000.
Eight persons were killed and fourteen
injured. The wind followed a violent
hail and rain storm.
No one has Yet been found who saw
the funnel-shaped cloud or who knew
what danger the unusual darkness of the
late afternoon contained Three persons
were killed who had every opportunity
TO seek refuge in their cellars, and half
dozen were injured who said that they
could see no tornado approaching.

COLD WEATHER MAY
INJURE COTTON CROP
Fear Expressed Here By
Farmers

That the unusually cold weather pre-
vailing yesterday will result in mate
rial injury to the young cotton crop
was the fear expressed by farmers who
came to Americas to attend the court
session, or upon other business. This
opinion was very general among the
farmers, and doubtless is we'll founded.
Cotton is among the most sensitive OF
local crops and cannot withstand cold
to any great extent. 1t is essentially
a sun plant, and thrives in hot weather,
standing long periods of drouth with
little apparent injury.
Here in Sumter and adjoining coun-
ties a considerable portion of the cot
ton crop is just now coming up, and is
at the tenderest stage. A great deal
0f this cotton, of the re-planted portion,
has come up within the past week, and
il cold weather continues it may |
Killed or seriously injured.
The continued rains, which have
lasted now for a week, are injuring
the cotton. to scme extent as we'll, be-
sides bringing up crop of grass,
which the farmers may find difficulty
in handling unless good blowing
weather comes again soon.

EXAMS FOR TEACHERS
FRIDAY and SATURDAY
To Be Held at County Seat
Of Each County

Atlanta, June 10.-On next Friday
and Saturday examinations for teach
ers will be held in the county seat of
every county in the state. Especial
pains have been taken to guard the
packages containing the examinati IN
questions. Sealed packages have been
sent to each county superintendent
Those marked f3r June 10 are not to
be opened until $50 Friday morning
in the presence of the applicants; those
for June IA are to be opened the same
way.
On next Friday and Saturday exams
nations will be held for primary lic-
ense, and this is also to be the first
days work for the general elementary.
In addition, on this date questions will
be used for two of the FIVE groups Of
the high school and supervisory exam
ination: /. History (ancient, modern
and English; 2. Languages Oatin,
French, German, Spanish and Greek)
Only two of the languages are requir-
ed. Also on this date there will be
questions for both the high school and
the elementary reading course, and the
questions on the history and geography
of Georgia for those teachers having
license from other states.
On Saturday there will be questions
for the last half of the general elemen-
tary examination and for English, sci
ence and mathematics in the high
school test. English includes grammar
composition and rhetoric, English and
American literature. The science test
will consist of questions on agricu!-
ture, physics and biology. Since the
last mentioned subject is comparatively
new, the educational department states
that such text as Hunters or that by
Bailey & Coleman is sufficient as a
basis for preparation. Mathematics
will include arithmetic, algebra
through quadratics, and plane geom,
etry.
High school and supervisory certifi-
Gates may be secured by taking exam
ination on any three of the five groups
mentioned in the system of certifica-
ton.

CRITICISES WIVES

Continued from page six

time ago $4,000 or $4,000 was con-
sidered a reasonable figure. To the
wife Of William Gould Brokaw was
awarded $4,000, and her husband
was reputed to be worth $2,000,000
when women are married to a
man fortunate enough to have mil
lion dollars they come into court and
say that their social position requires
an exorbitant amount of alimony.
1t will take me but very little time
tc decline this motion.
Justice ApsinwalI reserved decision,
however, and took the papers in the
case.
Mr.. Willett alleged that as Mr..
Heye was paying $4,000 for an apart
ment at a hotel for the correspondent
and was spending large sums other
wise not on Mrs. Heye, he should be
compelled to pay for the support Of
his wife and their two children III
, the same manner to which they hal
been accustomed He said that the
rooms in the Langdon hotel cost $10,-
O0C year, that the food cost $500 4
month and automobiles $500 month.
Clothes and entertaining, he said
would make it necessary for Mrs.
Heye to have the amount asked for.
In her petition Mrs Heye named
one of the correspondents as Myrtle
Vincen, or Vinson, and said Mr.. Heye
had taken her on voyages to the
West Indies, where he went in search
of historical data concerning the
American Indian.
Isaac E. Oeland, of Brooklyn, Mr..
Heye's attorney, replied that through
his wife's extravaganza, Mr.. Heye,
who was left more than a million
dollars by his father, now was worth
only about $S6O,0OO, with an income
of $4,000 a year He said that "the
Unsuitable desire for social promi-
hence, the ungovernable temper and
the excessive drinking of the plaintiff
caused such an expenditure that Mr..
Heye's property was much reduced"
