E SUPREME COURT
SUSTAINS GOING LAW
Court Decision Upholds Constitu
tionality of Liquor Law Pass
# \ ed By Last Legislature
The Arkansas Supreme Court
rendered a decision on the Going
liquor1; law, passed by the last leg
ifelatuie, and held that the law is
constitutional.
The liquor men contended that
the law was unconstitutional, in
that it denied negroes the privi
lege of petition, the law providing
that a majority of the white adults
of a community must sign a peti
tion favoring license before the
county judge could grant license.
In sustaining the Going act, the
supreme court reversed and re
manded the Argenta case to the
Pulaski circiut court. The Argenta
case was appealed from the coun
ty court to the chanrprv rmirt
where the law was declared un
constitutional.
In its decision the supreme
court held that liquor laws are
not among the immunities from
the fourteenth amendment to the
federal constitution. The court al
so held that the right to limit the
privilege of signing petitons was
not the same as denying the elec
toral privilege, citing decisions of
the federal court which upheld
three mile liquor petitons in which

JUDGE PEARCE NOT
SEEKING APPOINTMENT
Judge Cul. L. Pearce oPBald
Knob passed through Newark
Tuesday en route home from
Batesville where he had been at
tending court.
To a Journal reporter, Judge
Pearce said in regard to the report
that he was an applicant for a
position in the Batesville postoffice
that he was not an applicant and
under no circumstances would he
accept such a position if it should
be offered him.
Judge Pearce has a good law
practice at Bald Knob and has no
intention of abandoning his busi
ness there.
OLD BUT STILL GOOD
An Oklahoma girl played a mean
trick on her mother the other day.
By accident she found an old love
letter that her father had written
her mother in the halycon days of
their courtship. She read the letter
to her mother substituting her
name and the name of the boy
who tags around after her. The
mother raved with anger and dis
gust and forbade the girl to have
anything to do with a young
simpleton who had no more sense
than to write such gush to a girl.
The daughter then handed her
mother the letter to look over and
the house suddenly became so
qniet that one could hear the grass
growing in the front yard.—Ex.

INTEREST IN STATE
TEACHERS MEETING
Many Teachers Are Enrolling For
Annual Meeting to be Held in
Little Rock in April
Little Rock, Apr. 7.—A number
of teachers have already enrolled
as members of the State Teachers’
Association which will be held at
Little Rock, April 16, 17,18. The
programs are now complete and
will soon be ready for distribution.
There is every indication that
the April meeting of the Associa
will be the most largely attended
meeting that has ever been held.
Subjects of vital interest to every
teacher in the state will be discus
sed at both the section and gener
al programs and no teacher who
can possibly arrange to attend can
afford to miss the meetings this
year.
Many school boards have agreed
to allow their teachers to attend
the Association without any de
duction of salary and this conces
sion means much to the hard
working teachers of the state af
fording as it dues an opportunity
to gain valuable information and
inspiration for their work.
This meeting will be of special
interest to the rural teachers of
j the state as the discussions will
; have for their theme the improve
ment and betterment of the rural
schools. It is expected that large
numbers of rural teachers as well
as teachers from the town and city
schools of the state will be in at
tendance at this meeting which
gives every promise of being the
greatest meeting of the Associa
tion that has been held.
