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 Georgian. TWO FOR JUDGESHIP, A merieus, Ga , Mure!)

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.» ; la. —II me and Farm. UNCLE SAM MAY TACKLE MEXICO, Washington, .March IS—Mis treatment of United States eiti •/ ns m Mexico by the Diaz govern ment, may prove a firebrand thut will be fanned into war between it he two nations and cause the American army now on the bor der to cross the Rio Grande and j sweep southward to Mexico City. Every United States consul in Mexico today is in receipt of or ders from the state department, t>> investigate and promptly report every charge of abuse of an A meri no citizen either by the military or t he civil authorities in Mexico. This situation, it was learned I today was another reason for the idol iz it ion of u quarter of the American standing army in Texas "ii an actual war footing. The I uited States is concerned both vl l h the insurrectionary move- 1 un lit and with the shortcomings ! f the Mexican government itself. 1 ■'ue ease of Hiatt and Converse, ihe two Americans w hom Mexico fuses to free from arrests on the ■ presentations of this govern* ue ll l that thev were illegally up- \ U' bended on United States soil, uas brought to light other m- 1 s;snees i,f persecution if Ameri-| •mis by the Diaz government | (in ihe slightest pretext Ameri-j ' .■ms m no way identified w ith the revolution are cast into Mexican prisons and held incommunicado, i tlie state department was heard.

Mexico’s refusal to free them may 1 result in u force of troops moving on Juarez, where they are impris oned. and releasing them by force I >f arms This, of course, would mean war, but the United States i government believes that the at-1 tit tide of President Diaz and his iss abates toward Americans tvsi* ] lent in M< xico will prove a justi fication in the eyes of the people for an appeal lo arms it it be conn > necessary, LITTLE DAMAGE TO PEACHES. U me, Ga , March 19.—Phut the damage to tlie peach crop bv Me recent cold spell is much less ’ban was anticipated is the tosti motiv of growers and others who i iV' \amined the trees Phe mild and favorable weather of tin past ten days has hastened the development of the trees, until new the point has been reached whore an intelligent estimate of •he prospects can tie mads. In - me places there has been slight bunage, usually about 10 per cent. At other points about one bud in four, or 25 per cent, are de . stroved. In some orchards there t :ii'p"ars to be no damage whatev er These are located on hill tops. It seems safe to say that unless - I ite March or early April brings < • vere weather the crop in this ' s ot ion, or the larger portion of it, is in good couditiou. THE MftyTOOMERV MO V TTORTHm D AT. AfARTH 2T 1011. 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, Uitat ion. Georgt t .Montgomery U.unity. Whe teas, L. C.
