COURT DECLINES TO
 ADVANCE CASE
LAW VOLVI PEDDLING ACT PENDING IN U. s. SU-
 PRIME COURT.

The following article in the Little Rock Gazette is of interest in this county on account of several cases now pending in the circuit court in volving the same controversy:
 Attorney General Hal Norwood re- ceived communication from Wash ington yesterday stating that the su- preme court has denied the motion to advance the case of Byles versus the State of Arkansas, to have been heard with the case of Webber versus the State of Missouri. The court, how ever, made an order permitting the attorneys for Byles to file briefs of amici curiae in the Missouri case.
 The Byles case grew out of an al legged violation of the peddling statute passed by the general assembly of 1909. Byles was an agent of the Spaulding Manufacturing Company of Grinnell, Ia., and was convicted in a justice of the peace court in lnde- pendence county of peddling buggies without paying the license required by the act of 1909. Byles then ap- pealed to the Pulaski circuit court for a writ of habeas corpus, asserting that in peddling the buggies he was engaged in interstate commerce and the act was void as to such transac- tion. The attorney general took the position that as the question of wheth- CT Byles was engaged in interstate commerce was a matter of defense his remedy was an appeal to the cir. cult court from the jurisdiction of the lower court. The court disagreed with the views of the attorney general anC granted writ of habeas corpus anC upon hearing declared the law uncon stitutional and ordered Byles dis charged.
 The attorney general then took the matter before the Arkansas supreme court on a writ of certiorari and this court quashed the judgment of tho chancellor and dismissed Byles' peti tion. Byles then appealed to the su preme court of the United States anC his attorneys filed motion in that court to consolidate Byles' case witf case from Missouri involving { somewhat similar statute. The attor ney general resisted the motion tt consolidate the cases and the cour by it's action Monday refused to con solidate. Decision in the case wher handed down will decide the constitu tionality of the law.

DRAINAGE SYSTEM
 WORKS PERFECTLY

President J. J. Doyne is delighted with the success of the tile drainage system recently installed on 20 acres of lowland lying in the west portion of the tSate Normal grounds. For merly this land lay under water throughout the winter and spring, but today, in spite of heavy rains recent ly, it is being successfully plowed. Prof. w. J. Sowder and his class in agriculture examined the stream of water flowing from the main drainage pipe yesterday afternoon. They meas ured the flow at 52 1-2 gallons per minute, which would be equivalent to about 75,O00 gallons per day.

means about six tons to the acre
or more, which at the price 1t has
been bringing would amount to $40
an acre. l know alfalfa fields Is
years old that are now in as fine

Manufacturers, representing dozen
Southern States held an all-day execu-
tive session here yesterday framing
the position of the Southern Textile
Manufacturers on the proposed re-
vision of the cotton tariff.
AS briefly stated, the Southern man.
ufacturers oppose any revision of the
cotton goods tariff at this time.
They oppose any revision that does
not take into account Southern labor
conditions.
They oppose reductions of duty on
machinery entering into the cost OF
mills.
They resent personal hearings on
the tariff question and demand free
and open discussion in tariff making
and ask that data upon which revision
| is based be made public matters Of

WEDDING RINGS.
!: =**~**#*%***%%*

At what period rings were first used
in the marriage ceremony it is impos-
sible to say. Their use has been
traced back to the early Hebrews, who
probably borrowed the custom from
the Egyptians, a circle, in the Ian
guage of the heiroglyphics, being a
symbol of eternity.
Both Greeks and Romans used we'd
ding rings, placing them upon the
forefinger. During certain periods of
the Middle Ages custom demanded
that the ring should cost as much as
the bridegroom could afford to pay,
and cases are of record in Germany
and France of fashionable bridegrooms
who made large expenditures in this
direction. The inevitable reaction
( came, however, and made the pre-
scribed symbol plain gold circlet.
The materials of which wedding
rings have been made are as different
as the nations using them. Rings of
bone and hardwood have been found
in Swiss lakes, and others of ivory
copper, brass, lead, tin, iron, silver
and gold come to museums from va
rious parts of the earth.
