SURPRISE SPRUNG ON
 CALHOUN TEACHERS
Applicants for Certificates Asked to Give Some Results of Recent
 Alabama Primary

Anniston, April 23.-(Special) )-That it is a dangerous thing for teacher seek ing advancement in the profession to neg lect to read the daily papers, especially to keep account of things political. was indicated here this week in the state ex- aminations by questions proqounded by Superintendent H. T. Persons, who asked them to give some of the results of the recent primary in Alabama.
 There were over 100 applicants for li- cense at the local examinations, and the teachers in each instance were asked to give the names of the nominees for United States senatorship goyernorship, lieu tenant governorship and the represen- tative in Congress of this district. The only way this could be learned was by keeping up with events in the newspapers, and local educators say that the schools are paying more attention all the time to current history as reflected in the press.
 T. D Maybank well known cotton man of this city, who went to Talladega this week to answer in the case of Reaves vs. Maybank, has telephoned back that he was accorded a verdict in the suit against him for s50,000 brought by the parents of the little child who had been run over by Mr Maybank's automobile. The child in question had previously been injured by an automobile in Anniston, and 1t was shown in the case at Talladega that death resulted from the recklessness of the victim. aH
