North Side News

Four new houses are being erected
in Garfield Place this spring. Five
years ago the tract known as Garfield
Place contained only seven houses.
Building during the succeeding years
has been systematic. Today the addi-
ton boasts sixty-five modern homes.
New ones are being constantly erected,
and the prospect is presented of con-
tinued growth and development. Quite
a number of new homes are being
built this spring. Property owners
hope that the accession of building
activity means a rise in property
values. Paving, public improvements,
and attractively kept homes, the
boosters assert all tend toward this
end, and to increase the Importance
and activity of the town.
Since Garfield Place began to de-
velop five years ago a modern school
has been erected there, the Lyman
school, in which community meetings
are held every two weeks. The peo-
pie in the neighborhood of the Lyman
school have developed an exceptional
community interest, to some extent a
result of this series of entertainments,
and they have the enthusiasm-and the
booster attitude that puts town on
the map.

CANNOT
PAY OUT INTEREST
Judge Youmans Renders Decision
In Case of Lumber and Mining
Co. in Sebastian County.

Fort Smith, Jan. 3.-In federal
court for the western district of
Arkansas in this city yesterday
judge Frank A Youmans upheld
the Arkansas state statute which
forbids counties to pay interest on
judgments against them.
The issued was raised by plain
tiff's petition for mandamus against
Sebastian county, the county sheriff
and county treasurer to compel them
to pay interest for % years on an
old judgment of $13,700 on county
scrip. Title of suit was Missouri
and Arkansas Lumber and Mining
Company VS.. Sebastian County
Judgment was first obtained in
1891. For two years the county
paid the interest upon the iudg-
ment.
The 1898 state legislature passed
an act forbidding counties to make
interest payments on such claims.
From year to year the county made
partial payments. The final one
was made in 1918, payments COW
.ering interest to date of statute and
total principal. Upon final pay
ment plaintiff refused to release
Judgment, and later filed suit to col
lect 90 years interest, holding state
law illegal and void.
Petition for writ was filed by
Iplaintiff some time ago and heard
in federal court yesterday upon
record evidence and an agreed state
ment of facts. At conclusion of
argument by counsel in the case, the
court held the state law valid, ruled
the debt cancelled, ordered plaintiff
to release judgment and pay all
costs. Defendant served notice of
appeal to the United States supreme
court, which was granted and de-
fendant given 60 days to perfect
appeal

TENNESSEE AFTER
JOHN BARLEYC0RN
More Dry Laws Planned For Con-
sideration of Legislature
Clubs to Be Hard Hit.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 3.-They
are after Mr.. Booze again Not only
are they after him, but the jig IS
up with him. From dozen differ
ent sources today came the evidence
that before the legislature is many
days old every loophole in the pres
ent temperance laws of the state
will be ch0ked by some bill or other,
drastic, if any want to call it so, but
certain, nevertheless.
The anti-liquor program will in
clude:
First: An anti-storage bill, aim
ed at the destruction of the whole
sale liquor houses.
Second: A restricted shipping
act to prevent shipment of large
quantities of liquor into the state.
Third: An anti-locker club bill,
which will stand the constitutional
test.
Fourth: An act making bootleg
ging felony.
Fifth: An act more clearly de-
filming the status of an agent in the
matter of ordering and receiving
liquor shipments.
Sixth: An amendment to the
nuisance act, to include wholesale
houses and locker clubs.
Seventh: An act prohibiting the
sale of liquor by druggists.
Some of these bills, if not all,
would have been introduced yester-
day if the legislature had been in
session long enough. But there are
certain proprieties which seem to
govern all our legislative bodies in
the opening moments of the ses-
sion. The first prOpriety to be OBJ
served is to draw mileage before
proceeding to business. The next
is to secure good committee appoint
ments. These bills will make up
one of the legislative programs, An
overwhelming majority of the dem
ocrats favor them in one form or
another, and the republicans are
solidly behind them. The anti-sa-
loon league has indorsed them, and
DR.. McAlister, the superintendent
of the league, said yesterday after
noon that he would be prepared to
insist on their passage.

never knew any such animal. 1t
has known many boys who aspired
to that distinction, but by the time
they had recovered from their
bruises and aches, they had all been
cured of that ambition; and all
who had witnessed the affairs were
so completely convinced that the
malady did not spread.
