BEFORE PRITOHARD AGAIN. Motion Asking Him to Rovoko Order Taking Jurisdiction in Dispensary Situation. 'Attorneys for the dispensary coinmission on Thursday prepared formal Notice of a amotion before Judge PriMhard for an order revoking' his former orders granting an injunction and appointing receivers for the dispensary funds. The -molt ion is .to be * argued at Aslrevillc on March 27 and is based on the ground that the supreme court of iSouth Carolina has interpreted the law in dispute contrary to Mie. interpretation of Judge Pritcliard. Tiro notice was served on the attorneys for the whiskey houses. Until this motion is disposed of one way or the ot'her the supreme court of the State will not issue the formal writ of mandamus which it ".:as decreed that the attorney general is entitled to in order to secure the $1."?.()()() of dispensary money for prosecuting al1 egod (1 is|v11sa rv gra ft ers. Tre formal net ice is as follows: "Wilson Distilling Company et al vs. W. J. Murray and others, and (he Flcise'hmann Company vs. \V. J. fa Murray and others. "To Messrs. T. Mtoullrio Mordecai, Frank Carter, 11. C. Chedester, Merrick & Barn a rd and George B. Les^ ter, solicitors for the complainants: "You will please take notice thai the undersigned attorneys for the State dispensary commission will anove before his Honor, Judge J. C. i Pritcliard, circuit judge, at As'heville, N. C, at his chambers, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, on .March 27. IPOS. ,or as soon thereafter as counsel can be heard, for an order revoking* the former orders of (lie said court, granting an injunction and appointing receivers, on Hie ground that the supreme court of South Carolina has now construed the Statutes of South Carolina and the legislation of the State under which t'lie complainants claim their rights, and lias construed it differently from the said circuit court's construction, which construction, if followed, ousts the jurisdiction of the circuit court. "The motion will be made upon the pleadings and returns and affidavits already before the court, and on the decision of the supreme court of (he State of South Carolina and the record upon whi<Jh it is based in I lie case of the Stale of South Carolina ex rol J. l'Yascr Lyon vs. \Y. J. Murray and others, a formal petition being presented setting up the said facts. ".I. Fraser Lvon, Attorney (General; Stevenson & Mathesen, A buoy & Mullet, Anderson, Folder, Rouniree and Wilson, defendants' attorneys." If Judge Pritcliard grants the motion and revokes the orders heretofore issued all will tie sweet and peaceful, but if lie refuses an appeal will be taken to the supreme court of the I nited States, or it may be that the circnf judge will instruct his receivers to make demand for the dispensary funds, and upon the refusal of the commission to turn over the cash the commission will ibe held to be in contempt. Helps to Corn and Cotton Planters. The past winter lias been so wet thai there has been less than usual opportunity lo prepare the land for t'liis year's crop. The rains have continued so late that many fields are still very wet. These conditions make it all the more necessary that the soil be well prepared before planting. Tn the impatience to comimence planting the temptation to plow before (he land is drv enough is very great. Against ti-is we issue a word of warning. There are fnw more injurious farm practices. Land plowed wet at this time is injured for the whole season. Such land is more than likely to be cloddy, and a clod in the lie!,! is of little use to plants. 'Cloddy land is hard to work and" seldom gives a good stand. It furnishes a minimum of fond to the plants ami is exceedingly subject tn drought. While it is desirable, especially in the holl-wi e\ i] sections, j<? pimi! cotton ;i< early as pns-'hie. yet th.-iv i-i nothing gained by i l iciag liic in j the ground before the latter is warm ; enoic.h to cause it I" germinate and' grow: or before the soil is thoroughly orepatvd. Tliis was slrougly illustrated last year in tioll-weevi! sections. Where the land was properly prepared before planting, even though this preparation caused a delay in putting the seed into the ground, the yield was much better than where j allenlie.n was not given to lliis detail. A thorough preparation i-. more than half the cultivation. Ho not plant 'either cotton or corn before the land is worked inlo a line seed bed even if planting is a little late. Last spring a great amount of trouble was experienced in securing 6 stands, especially of cotton. This was Hoi primarily due to a late, wet spring; tlm but there wore other contriibuting fae- ses tors, including poor preparation of win land, improper deptlh of planting and and poor seed. The fawners seem fair- no ly "well aroused to tlhe Importance of in I good seed. To be gool the seed must tor, not only be from a good variety but wra must have been cart;fully selected an 1 to I so cared for that they have a strong lum vitality. iHe sure the seeds planted Am have not been damaged from any wal cause. Prepare the land thoroughly ree< and sufllciently in advatiej of plant- tak. ing so that I'll ere is a firm seed bed. to Then avoid one of Hie most common of causes of loss of stand?that of plant- obsi ing too deep, eon With well-prepared land good cot- to * ton seed, if properly planted, will ger- the initiate even in ^a dry spring wihen was covered to no greater depth than onefourth inch. Many of the cottonplanting machines on (lie market are by tunity in that it is almost impossible can. to gauge (lie depth at which t'he seeds '' are placed in tho ground. This defect ?!u' is only increased if the seed' bed is f'??i loose. Further, w'hile tilie seed may l'!U' not actually lie covered to a great l>!" depih, many leave them in a trench tliei with hills of loose dirt on each side 'be fhe first food rain washes this. dirt >1 into the l.reneh and buries the seed'n,,d too deej>. This should be avoided. A Uil' light roller should' always follow tlhe 'be planting so ;is to press the ground call close to tlie seed. gel I Jt is best even where it is not neeessarv to plant upon lie Is, to place 0 the seed upon a slight ridge, especially ,,l(' in planting early. This insures drain- an" age and warmth and consequently a ( ' goe<l stand. There are more stands su 'j lost in planting cut ton by using too much than too little seed. When a I "")V 1; ii she I of seed is nsetf it is very, of-J ' ten ;i detriment, because the seeds are j so close that when they germinate H ' tdiey lift the soil in the whole top of ."'u' the row.
