 "AI of the contestants followed the Williamson plan strictly in the eompetl- tlon."
 It Is seen that the lowest yield per acne is 471a bushels. and highest is 121. One man made 11s and one made 107. Nobody in the contest made less than 475S bushels per acre. This was done on land no bet ter than the uplands of Alabama. say in Shelby. BeKalb or Walker Counties.

suit to recover the value of their property.
 That is the origin of the litigation which is now before the highest court of the State for settlement. The at- torneys for the bottle owners hold that the authorities mad the right to empty out liquors from bottles found in uniissnsed places. but that they had no legal right to destroy the bot ties. In other words, he maintained that the amendment is unconstitution- al, inasmuch as in the majority of cases in which liquor is seized, the bottles containing it are not the prop erty of the persons from whom the liquor is taken, but of the liquor. man ufacturersa. or. bottlers. Hence the appeal to the Supreme Court of. the State. That the ,court deemed the matter worthy of serious attention. is evident in the fact that briefs have been ordered on the point of law in- volved. Should the New York Supreme Court render decision in this case against the excise law amendment and in favor of the bottlers. 1t would not be surprising if similar cases should appear on the court dockets of other States" s s'

A NICE QUESTION.

Many. and oftimes queer are the forms in which liquor litigation gets before the courts of the country, es- pecially where there are prohibitory laws, and one has just been sent up to the Supreme Court of New York which is not only interesting but may be significant in its effects. It seems that a recent amendment to what is known as the excise law of New York gives to the authorities the right not only to seize any liquor stored in or on unlicensed premises but also to seize "the vessels in which such liquors are contained"
 That is the reading of the amended law. and under 1t the officers captured two hundred and thirty eight bottles of beer in restaurant which had no license to sell liquor of any kind. The officers not only conhscated the beer but held fast to the bottles that con- tained it. It is not stated whether the seizers drank the beer or not but they probably put it to some such use, though that is not material Be that as 1t may, the owners of the bottles we believe 1t Is what is called the Bottlers' Association-cIaimed that the said bottles were their property and that the officers had no right to con fscate or destroy them, and brought

BARRING HIM OUT.

The French government is disposed to be real cruel to that more or less eminent -statesnian. President Castro, of Venezuela. The announcement that he will not be allowed to visit Paris. or to even have look at the gay city must be source of acute pain to him. No doubt he expected to have a good time there after he is cured of his, present aflment. but Paris Is not for him. not If it knows itself.
 It should be borne in mind that some months ago the French Minis ter to Castros republic was somewhat ignominiously expelled from Caracas told to skidoo and not come back. As matter of course this offended France and the government intends to pay some of the debt, now that an opportunity is offered. For a time the question of refusing to allow him to land on French soil was debated, hut owing to his ailment it was finally agreed to allow him to land at Bor- 0CahA WuGIS HS CdH EGCelNe proper surgical and medical treatment if he is wiling to remain there. If. how ever. he prefers to go to Berlin he is to be furnished passports across France. but must not go to Paris.
 While this proceeding may seem harsh and cruel from one point of view 1t Is no more than he deserves. He has run matters in his own coun- try with very little respect for other nations. and with as little regard for international comity, and he really has no right to expect courtesy from coun- tries which have received none from him. If the nations that he has treat ed so slightingly should bar him out entirely he would have no real right to complain. He ought to feel thank full that France has made the conces- sion 1t has.
