STATEWIDE BILL
 TO BE SUBMITTED
Court Holds That Bill Was Legal ly Initiated and Cannot
 be Withdrawn

As will be seen by a signed state ment on page two, the Anti-Saloon League has abandoned the fight for statewide prohibition.
 Some time ago suit was filed in the Pulaski circuit court seeking to withdraw the bill and enjoin the secretary of state from certi- flying out the proposed law to the various county election boards.
 Without waiting the outcome of this suit, the signed statement on page two was given out to the newspapers on last Sunday.
 Monday the case was decided by the court, the court refusing to grant the petition, holding that the bill is legal and valid and initi- ated in proper form.
 An appeal was taken and it is expected that the case will be ar- gued and submitted in the su- preme court next Monday, togeth- CT with all the other cases that have grown out of the attempts to initiate laws under the I. and K.
 The principal point raised in the case IS that under the enabling act a statewide prohibition bill would be in conflict with the present To- cal option laws of.the state. The court held that while a court might rule that the legislature in the enabling act could prevent a county or municipality from initiat- ing law which would be in vio- lation of the general local option laws of the state, 1t could not pre- vent the people of the entire state from initiating any measure that they might desire, not in violation of the constitution. The bill was also attacked on the ground that not enough petitions to secure the initiation of the measure were fil- ed at one time. The court held that this was not necessary.
 It is too early to forecast the re- suit of this squabble on the effect of the final result, should the su- preme court uphold this decision. It is very probable, however, that if the supreme court holds that the bill cannot be withdrawn, a call will be issued for meeting of cit izens of the state who are not merely prohibitionists for revenue only, and an organization formed to take up the fight for the adop- ton of the bill. In that event a real fight will be made-a fight de- void of the fuss and feathers that have always been the chief element of the Anti-Saloon Leagues war fare upon the liquor traffic.

Happenings of Local Interest

The Woodmen of the World and the Woodmen Circle observed their annual memorial services last Sunday by decorating the graves of deceased members with flowers. A large crowd was pre- sent at the cemetery to witness the ceremonies.
 4. N. Paddock, a prominent young farmer of the Charlotte Qeighborhood, was in town on business Tuesday. He says the crops in his neighborhood are needing rain, but that they can stand eight or ten days of dry weather yet without suffering to any great extent.
 An interesting booklet dealing with the cattle tick, its history and methods of destroying it, has been issued by the International Harvester Company. The facts rel alive to the cattle tick set forth in this booklet should be known to every Southern farmer. The booklet Is for free distribution and a copy will be mailed to anyone upon request addressed to the company at Memphis, Tenn.
 If a preacher turns out to be a scamp, that's news; if a cashier ab- seconds, that's news; if a woman poisons her husband, that's news; if a man kills his wife to get rid of her, that's news. Faithful preachers, honest bankers, helpful, cheerful, kind-hearted husbands and wives are too common to men, tion-no news in that. Keep this in mind when you read the scare heads in the papers and imagine the country Is going to wreck.
 c. P. Vaghan and w. B. Head stream have just finished putting in a cattle dipping vat in Ashley township. This makes eleven vats now in the county. There is a vat now in every township north of White river except Magness, Lo- gan, Wycough and Barren. MT.
