NEGRO SECTION OF
GOING LAW STANDS
Supreme Court Holds That Negroes
Are Not Barred From Rights
in Liquor Matters
For the third time ihe Supreme
Court has held the Going liquor
law constitutional, the latest deci
sion being handed down by the
Supreme Court last Monday in
cases brought by negroes in the
Jefferson and Garland Circuit
Courts. Each case attached the
Going law on grounds so much
alike that one opinion was handed
down for both cases The cases
were the first in which negroes
were parties ruled on by the Su
preme Court.
In the Jefferson Circuit Court
Ferd Havis, a negro resident of
Pine Muff, and others filed suit
against the county judge, C. M.
Philpot, and in doing so attacked
the constitutionality of the famed
liquor law. C. M. Wade sued in
Hip ttarhmd ('irmif t'niirt iirriiintil
County Judge C. J. Horner.
The grounds for attack were
that the law was unconstitutional
in that it barred negroes from a
voice in the petition. The Garland
County suit, alleged that the law
prevented a negro from having
any voice in the matter. The Su
preme Court held, however, that
such was not the case, but that a
negro had a legal right to be made
a party to any action taken under
the law. In counties where the
number of negroes is greater than
the number of white residents the
complaint alleged the majority is
ruled by the minority. The Su
preme Court held in regard to
this allegation that the black vot
ers could reject saloons at the gen
eral election, where their number
is greater than that of the whites.
It is probable there will be an
appeal taken to the United States
Supreme Court in one of thecases.
REBUILD LIVERY BARN
R. C. Chamberlain has placed an
order for material to rebuild his
livery barn which was destroyed
by fire a few days ago. He expects
to have lumber on the ground to
begin work on the building some
time within the next week or ten
days.
In the meantime he is taking
care of his patrons the best he
can, having moved his teams and
equipment to the barn at his resi
dence.
