Lisbon, December 1o.--signs of un- rest continued to be evident in this city for some weeks after the revo- lutionary outbreak of October 19, when ex-Premier Granjo and two others were assassinated.
 For at least two weeks after that occurrence, manifestations were made by revolutionaries who demanded that the government put Into opera ton the revolutionary program. Posters appeared on the walls of buildings calling upon the people to rise and rebel against those who were alleged to be driving them to starva- tion" and demanding that the govern ment resign if 1t did not know how to govern.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

At McConchie Grange on May It'll a
very interesting discussion was had on
the preparation for, the planting Of,
and the cultivation of titled crops.
In preparing for the crop it was
pointed out that the soil should be
differently treated for each crop, but
for all of them it was necessary to have
the ground plowed well. For six to
eight weeks, at the very least, before
planting time, the soil should be
plowed as deep as the previous plow-
ings will allow up to at least 10 inches.
1t was shown that if too much manure
or crop of rye too far advanced, or
any crop which would not readily de-
cay, were plowed under, it would pre-
vent the water from rising in the soil
and so injure the crop. This is too
often overlooked by many farmers and
they wonder why, with all the work
they often put on crop, they often
fail. Never let the sun 90 down upon
an unharrowed field. This is to pre-
vent the escape of moisture and also
to enable the soil to be broken up bet
ter than it can be at any other time.
Always stop each day in time to har-
row that days blowing. Keep dust
mulch on the field by frequent harrow
ings and disk thoroughly just before
planting time and crop of any thing
will be assured If there is enough hui
mus in the soil.
The planting of corn was especially
emphasized as it is now in progress all
over the county. 1t was suggested
4 that corn could be planted on rich
land very much thiclxer than nm moor
land. That on poor land the corn
ought to be planted at least feet each
way and one stalk left in hill.
Checking corn is not in fashion in
Charles county, but in parts OF the
state where biggest crops of corn are
grown, they always check the corn and
cultivate both ways. On rich soil 3 feet
each way with stalks in hill is not
too much.
1t was pointed out that the best Gull
tivation is in the preparation. Har-
row the corn land across the planting
ridges as soon as the planting is fin
ished so that the first cultivation,
which should be with the harrow,
will not cover up the corn. Keep a
dust mulch by frequent shallow cult
vations will bring in the greatest re-
turns for labor expended. Keep the
weeds out to preserve the moisture and
get them out as soon as possible.

wet" Auto in Class With Mans House

Attorney General Armstrong, who
recently held that the police and other
law enforcement officers OF the state
had no authority to make arrests for
violations of the Volstead act, in an
opinion at the request OF 81. Mary S
county authorities now questions the
right Of q state peace oficer to search
an automobile for liquor.
Mr.. Armstrong; opinion holds that
an automobile, from the standpoint
of the law relating TO search, occupies
very much the same position as mans
house and is protected by the same con-
stitutional guarantees which always
have received from the court liberal
Interpretation and application. The
search of an automobile is controlled
by the same principles which | have
discussed above and the necessity for
a warrant is equally imperative"
Quoting the state liquor laws affect
ing st. Mary's county, particularly,
Mr.. Armstrong; opinion continues
1T will be observed, therefore, that
the transportation of liquor is not pro-
hibited unless it is transported with
intent to sell or give away the same in
violation of the provisions of the act.
Therefore, a man may carry alcoholic
liquor on his person or transport it in
his machine in st. Mary's county with
out violating any statute of the state
of Maryland.
THE constitutional inhibitions
against compelling a man to testify
against himself or to give evidence
against himself or to be forcibly sub
jected to search of person or property
without search warrant are too we'll
known to be quoted here. 1t is diff
cult to understand on what theory the
magistrate should cause the search to
be made"
While this opinion applies directly
only to st. Mary's county, it is said
its application automatically extends
to all counties and TO the city unless
there are local laws 10 the contrary.
The question asked the Attorney
General was whether, when man is
arrested for violation of the automo-
bile laws, the magistrate before whom
the case is tried can search the auto
mobile for evidence to develop a viola
tion of the Volstead act.

Action Unwarranted.

Collector of Customs William P.
Ryan was called upon last week by
the Secretary of the Treasury to hand
in his resignation. Mr.. Ryan still
has two years of his term to serve and
the request for his resignation, when
no charges were made against him,
was complete surprise, not only to
Mr. Ryan, but to the people of this
state.
Mr.. Ryan is not politician, in the
terms generally known as such, but a
conservative business man of high
standing, and, when it is remembered
that the Democrats permitted the late
William f. Stone and other federal
officials of the state to serve out their
full terms, it seems to us that the call
for Collector Ryan's resignation,
savors more of injustice than right,
and that he should have been per-
mitted to serve his full term.
We believe that in due time a Re
publican should have been appointed
to succeed Mr.. Ryan, yet, at the same
time, we believe in fairness and justice.
