When the supreme court of Ar
kansas meets on next Monday to
resume the consideration of cases
appealed from lower courts, the
docket will show not less than fiji
teen cases appealed from the cir
cult and chancery courts of Greene
county, several of which involve le-
gal issues never before passed up
on directly by the states highest
tribunal.
The appeal case of Bill Mcdonald
Jr. VS.. City of Paragould, will test
the validity of the city ordinance
imposing an annual license on au-
tomobiles used for hire when the
point of destination is outside the
city limits City Attorney Cecll
Shane holds the ordinance applies
whether the business is done Who'll
ly within the city limits or partly
inside and partly outside the Inn
its. In police court Mcdonald was
fined SIS for hauling passengers
from a point within the city to
point outside the city without hav-
ing procured the license required
by the city ordinance. He appealed
to the circuit court and lost. An
appeal was then taken to the SUI
preme court in order that final
ruling may be had on the right OF
the city to enforce the provisions Of
the ordinance in question.
The case of the State VS.. E. l..
Mckinley will bring out another
question upon which the supreme
court of Arkansas has never passed.
Mckinley was indicted with more
than one hundred other parties,
charged with permitting illegal
voting in the municipal election
held in Paragould last April When
the case was called in circuit court
ATTORNEYS for the defendant demur-
red to the indictment on the
ground that the statutes do not COW
er this alleged offense in municipal
elections The court sustained the
demurrer, and the State, through
the prosecuting attorney, prayed
for and was granted an appeal to
the supreme court. The statutes
make it an offense to vote illegal
" in state, county and township
elections, and hold judges response
BILE for permitting illegal votes to
be cast The law authorizing the
holding of general elections in mu-
inequalities says all statutory re-
uuirements, methods and procedure
followed in general state, county
and township elections shall apply
in municipal elections. 1t is ad-
mitted this enactment is all right
so far as it relates to methods and
procedure, but it is contended

lected through conventions. They
also expect to take advantage of the
law passed by the last legislature
combining the state and federal
elections, which thus throws
cloak of federal protection around
the ballot boxes. Numerous coun-
ties in the state have overwhelming
negro votes, and if republicans in
these counties organize the negroes
and vote them at the combined fed
eral and state elections the coun-
ties will go republican.

The man who is afraid to
AXE a chance will never
amount to much. This applies
to the farmer as much as to
any other business. Last year
the farmers in the Lower MIN
ores who took a chance were
amply rewarded 1t was very
common last fall to hear a
nan say, wish | had planted
twenty acres in sorghum
Some OF them are doing it this
wear and others will wish they
mad again next fall. Get the
government weather reports
and study them. They show
that there is rainfall enough to
dry farm here three to 70 r
years out OF five. Ii the farm
or will plant a crop every year
ne can make good. You may
lose oc casionally but the next
crop will make up for it, The
man who wants TO farm will
take a chance. lie will 60 in
debt for the seed and nipple
ments that he needs. And the
dealer would much rather trust
nun than the man who is afraii
TO take a chance. The former
will eventually make good, but
the latter never will. One OF
our best farmers, who is a very
valuable citizen, came here a
few years ago practically broke.
Today he is worth several
thousand dollars. 1t is all in
the man. We have some peo-
pie right here who would not
max good in the Garden of
Eden. 1t would be a great
thing for the Valley if we could
get rid of them, but we will al
ways have them. Don't stay
with that bunch. Take a
chance. Grow up with the
country.
