The grand prize awarded by the depart ment for the best yield from an acre of corn has been given to G. D.

Howell pro- duced on one acre of corn 142 1-3 bush els of the yellow ears, his closest sec ond being W. J. Jackson of Shelby county, and the third closest being R. E. Jones of Butler county. MT. Jack son secured from his yield 13g bush els and MT. Jones secured 134h bushels Of the 46 contestants 13 of the prize winners were boys, which, in the opin- ion of the agricultural department, is conclusive proof of the good derived from the Boys Corn clubs which are operating in all parts of the state.
 In Jefferson county the best acre yield went to Arthur Acton boy who produced 104 bushels, and in Mobile county boy was also the winner in the person of Jerome Merchant of Churchville, who produced 75h bush els.

Montgomery, December 1.-tSpecial)- The injunction feature of the Fuller liquor bill one of the instruments under which prohibition in Alabama draws its authority, was argued for four hours in the Alabama supreme court today, galaxy of brilliant attorneys being in the city to argue pro and con the instrument. Proceedings came up on an appeal from the city court of Birmingham in the case of ''E. c. Fulton ct als. vs. the State of Alabama. The feature of the bill directly attacked is the one which alleges that the state has authority to close up by injunction any alleged liauor nuisance upon the obtaining of proper papers in the chancery court.
 Appellants in the case were represented today by Lee Oberdofer. J. w. A. Smith and J. w. Davidson of Birmingham, while the state was represented by Col A. NJ. Garber, attorney general, and by Col. Sam Will John of Birmingham.
 One of the interesting counts made by the appellants was offered by Attorney Oberdofer in his argument of the case Mir Oberdofer stated that both the Fuller and the Carmichael bills, which were adopted August and 25, 1907, were re pealed by an act of August, 1s)e which act adopted the code of Alabama The attorney stated to the court today that the second section tof the act adopting the code did not specify that the two liquor bills were to be included as parts of the code.

Decatur. December 1.-(Special. al.111-Tf vote on the consolidation of Decatur and New Decatur were taken today consoli dation would carry almost unanimously The people of both cities are very much worked up over the matter since the pub lie statement of Representative Dan Wal den to the effect that he will introduce a bill in the lower house of the state legis- lature when that body meets, authorizins a vote to be taken on the question Nil merous business and professional men have expressed their opinion on the mat ter and thus far not a man has been in terviewed who is opposed to the meas ure.
 It is believed that by spring the two cities will be Decatur and that New De- otur will be 0 thing of the past When tliis is done there will be but one post office and the government will erect a federal building here. At this time the two cities are divided by only an imagi- nary line. The business centers of the two cities are growing closer together year by year. Consolidation would give Decatur a much better standing in the outside world and would make of this one of the best towns in the state and the best north of Birmingham in Ala bama.
