until Judge Philpot acted favorably. Now that he has not done so, it is a certainty that Pine Bluff will be the only big city in the state to be "dry" this year. s.=a.zt.
 No definite announcement as to what the liquor dealers will do has been made. They may get up new petition; or they may appeal to the county court or some other court to declare the Going act unconstitution- al, and open a saloon. Then, if ar rested for violating the law, will take the case to the Supreme Court for a final test. Then again the saloon men say they may retire to fields less un- friendly to them. 1t is known that several of the liquor dealers are in favor of moving to other cities, Memphis, Little Rock and St. Louis being selected by several of them. If the liquor dealers decide to resort to a new petition, the names held good on the old one will be used and others added to give them a safe majority of the white adult inhabi- tants of Pine Bluff, as required by the Going act before licenses are is sued
 Crowd In Court Room.
 When court convened at 1:30 o'clock, at which hour Judge Philpot had announced he would give his de- cision in the liquor license case, the circuit court room was simply damned with people, many of them ladies who had previously attended the hearing of the case.
 Judge Jones arose and said that it was the will of the petitioners in the case that the liquor license petition be withdrawn from the files of the county court and that non suit be taken.
 Attorney w. B. Sorrells, represent ing the remonstrants, insisted that Judge Philpot render decision in the case and deny the petitioners re- quest. eve are entitled to a decis ion," said MT. Sorrells. "The, peti- tioners are here too late with re- quest fro non suit and withdrawal of their petition. They have no legal right to withdraw the petition now, after the case has been heard and the evidence is all in.'
 Judge Jones took issue with MT. Sorrells. He said that under the law the petitioners could withdraw their petition and take non suit. Mir. Sorrells contended that it is not the law and that the petitioners cannot be withdrawn after the issues are submitted to the court.
 Judge Philpot said: "Gentleman, you've got me up a tree. I am not familiar enough with the law in this particular instance to say whether the petition can be withdrawn or not. l have seen the circuit judge. how ever, take cases from a jury and erant non suit. after all the evi- dence has heen submitted on both sides. am not sure of the legal feature of this case and would pre- fer to acpuaint myself with 1t.

Auditor to fill vacancy caused by
resignation. Applying to the per-
picked conditions In that office, the
practical principles of efficiency,
system. and economy, that had
marked his success in private busi-
ness, Joe McClelland. has in twelve
months brought the accounting of
the State into a condition OF per-
fection, never before attempted, and
has inaugurated system of hand
ling accounts against the State that
absolutely protects the public treas
ury from duplicated and fraudulent
claims. or forged warrants.
He has accomplished this reorgan-
ization Of the office without the
blowing Of trumpets or beating of
ton tons. 1t has not been exploited
in newspaper accounts or interviews,
but it has been accomplished, as
every honest man who has dealings
with the Auditors office can testify.
Joe McClelland is candidate for
the Democratic nomination for state
Treasurer. He believes he can ac-
complish still greater good for the
taxpayers by the Inauguration Of a.
practical business system in the
conduct of the financial affairs of
the State.
His opponents say he should not
be elected because he has been sue
cessfui in his private business. They
don't question his honesty. his in
tegrity. or his ability. ,rneir only
objection is that he doesn't need
the salary. This puts sauarely up
to the Democratic voters the question
lis success in private business to be
a disqualification for public office;
are men who have made failures OF
their own business alone entitle to
political preferment? If you be-
lieve that honesty. integrity, and eff
ficiency are qualities to be desired
in the public service. you should cast
your vote for Joe @. McClelland
for State Treasurer. He has been
tried in the balance and found NOT

The small town merchant has

order competition has TO a large ex-
tent ohscured his view of large city

are probably cutting deeper inroads
into his business than the mail or

Although retail merchants have
been forced to recognize the mail
order house as q formidable compet-

have taken steps to effectively com-
bat mail order competition.
A careful study of the methods
employed by the largest and most
successful mail-order houses cannot
help but reveal the secret" (?) of
their persistent, intelligent
advertising and cash with order
system, backed by fair and courte-
Gus treatment. In fact ad-
vertising is absolutely the only
force they employ for getting busi-

tising must be OF a character that
will inspire sufficient confidence to
overcome the personal contact and
acquaintance OF the retail merchant
with his customers and possible Gus

Retail merchants carrying prod
