G2ORGIA»S PROHIBITION
LAW AGAIN SUSTAINED,
The prohibition law of Geor
gia, enacted in 1907, has been
subject to well nigh every attack
<~' constitutional inefficiency and
technical inadequacy that legal
ingenuity has been able to de
vise, and yet it has withstood
them all.
It is sound in every particular.
As a law it has been found suf
ficient to block every attempted
evasion of it.
The decision in the Cureton
liquor cases handed down by the
supreme court Tuesday serves
to iphold it again and to strength
en it further.
G. VV. Cureton, the defendant,
as was shown by the testimony,
h 1 a place of business in Chat
tanooga. He received an order
there for liquors from persons in
Alabama. He sent the order to
Rising Fawn, Ga., where he had
a liquor store room, directing his
agent at the latter place to fill it.
T o agent did so, delivering the
shipment to the Southern Kx
p \ss Com pay for transportation
to Alabama.
The supreme court of Georgia
u now decided that this trans
action was a sale of liquor in the
s’ ite of Georgia, and that Cure
toi was the seller and, therefore,
violated the prohibition law, tho
neither he nor the buyer were
w bin the boundary of the state
at the time.
I’he decision declared that the
case was free from any elements
of conflict with the interstate
commerce laws, by which the
act of the defendant was sought
to be justified.
' Continuing, the decision says:
"It matters not that the defen
< nt was without the limits of
t ■ state at the time the instruc
; ns were given. Under the
< i Vrs given by the purchasers
<the liquors, accompanied by
l • purchase price, which did not
indicate that there was to be any
retention of the title by the sell*
«-i and the manner of filling the
» lers. which did not indicate
i f the seller intended to retain
i ,e title, the common carrier be
i ue the egentof the purchasers
I receive the liquors, and when
t agent of the defendant de
erod the liquors to the agent
« the purchasers at Rising Fawn,
G . the acceptance and delivery
\ ere the same its if the respec
ts v principals had there met and
< ivered and received the liquors
\ pursuance of negotiations for
t sale. The delivery and uc
c, tance thus made were the
c ninating features of the sales.
j I brought the sales within the
l i view of the act. ”
Georgia's prohibition law is
b I'.ib-proof: its only weakness
lies in its enforcement. If this
is made bomb-pool* also, the
great benefits the state has al
ready received from this law will
be made much greater. Atlanta

VELVET BEANS
CONTAIN NITROGEN,
It has been well shown what we
i may expect from the use of a
plant that gathers nitrogen from
l the air. The plant nsed was w hat
h commonly known as the velvet
le an. A field of this plant fur
nished tlie information. The land
was poor. A bout 240 pounds of
phosphoric acid was used; also 48
potindsot muriate of potash. The
yield of green forage was 1P.040
pounds j,* r acre. Samples were
tak‘*n for analysis, and it was
b und that the hay and the roots
stubble left in the ground amount
ed to several pounds of nitrogen
P"r acre. This was equal to 2.800
pounds of cotton seed meal. As
the soil was very poor the greater
part of the nitrogen must have
In en obtained from the air. The
yield of hav on this field was un-J
ii-ually large, but even if half this
amount betaken as an average!
yield, we must stall have an iin-;
pi cssive lesson as to the value of j
the leguinilions fertilizing materi
al for the enrichment of the soil.!
It is evident, limn, that it is waste
I rany farmer to bv nitrogenous,
fertilizer after tlm growing of such
a crop. W hile the velvet bean
will not mature seed with any oer-j
tiiinty north of the Gulf {Rates,'
w i are decidedly <>f the opinion j
t at as far north as Southeast
Virginia the plant cau be grown
profitably for the reclamation of
; run-down lands, but for hay pur-1
p ,-> s it cauuot compete with the
c -w p a auj ■ north of Fior.» ;

GEORGIA FAMILY
IN MEXICO CITY.
Thomasville, Ga., March l>j—
A letter has just been received bv
Mr. R. W. Whiddon, "ftii sc tv.
from his daughter, .Mrs. Max
VV r right, who, with her husband,
a Georgian, is now in Mexico City.
Mrs. AVright states that her
brother. Mr. Henry Whiddon. Ii :■:
been trying to return to the Uni
ted States, he being also a r< -i
--deut ot Mexico, but he was stop
ped before reaching the border
i and ordered to return to .Mexico
City.
Mrs. Wright states that no new
of what is going on is allowed to
tie printed, and the country
abroad knows nothing of what is
really going on in Mexico. Sic
says that everything is in a state
of unrest, and business is dis
organized. Provisions are very ■
high, and if (he revolution is not
stopped in the next few moot li
the people are afraid that they
will not be able to get food at any
price.
President Diaz is siek, and tin
federal troops under bis contr I !
seems unable to successfully cop
with the revolutionists. She says •
the chief concern is tin- protectn n
of American life and property,
there being u manifest hatred of
all Americans, and a desire to
jeopardize whatever interests tin \
have in that country.
Mrs. Wright’s husband is in tin
printing business, and is in a
position to know how matters are
censored and suppressed. She
would of course, be glad to lenv".
nut can find no way "of getting
across the border,
