Memorial Coins

Mr.. L. r. Martin, local chairman
in the Confederate Memorial Coinage
Harvest Campaign, has announced that
each of the Pocahontas banks will
have a supply Of the memorial coins
to distribute. We are informed that
the other four Randolph banks will
also assist in the distribution.
These coins, of actual 50-cent value,
will sell for $1.OO. The money thus
raised will be used to pay the cost of
carving the statutes of our Confederate
generals on the face of Stone Noun
tain, in Georgia. The memorial thus
carved will be dedicated 'To the Valor
of the Soldier of the South"
The coins, besides paying for the
memorial work, will in later years be
very valuable as mementos and, 1t Is
prophesied, will be worth many times
the original investment.
Full information may be had by Ia
terviewing Mr. Martin or any of our
bankers.

Friends In Florida?

The Arkansas Advancement Associa-
tion has requested the Star Herald to
appeal to its readers for list Of Ar
kansas who are now in Florida.
Every one who reads this item, and
who knows a former Arkansan in
Florida, is urgently requested to inn
mediately write the Arkansas Ad-
vancement Association, Box 900, Little
Rock Ark, giving the name and ad-
dress of such person or persons.
This information is not requested
for commercial purposes, nor will the
temporarily Floridans be solicited to
financially aid any project or institu-
ton in Arkansas.
They will, however. be acquainted
with opportunities offered by their own
state, with the hope that when the
tide begins to turn in the gold rush,
they will be induced to return to Ar
kansas and bring with them some of
the driving spirit that has made possi-
Bile the wonderful development of the
most southern state.
If you know of some person in
Florida, who has lived in Arkansas,
whether a native of the state or not,
give the name and address to the Ar.
kansas Advancement Association.

Harper Urges Adoption
of A New Constitution
BY Clio Harper


Little Rock, January 17.-Nopoay
knows what amendments have been
adopted to the Constitution of Arkan'
sas. The whole question is one Of IN
extricabIe confusion. Amendments once
declared adopted have later been set
aside as void, and other amendments
once declared to have been lost have
been resuscifated. Later some Of these
have been modified by the courts anc
declared to mean something else than
appeared at first. Today cities seem
TO have the authority to issue bonds
for public buildings and tomorrow this
right will be taken from them. The
people vote overwhelmingly to have q
Acknowledgements, but their viii Is
thwarted iecause some people foiled
to vote, then court comes along and
says it's all wrong and that the people
should select acknowledgements
New angles and old problems are con-
stantly obtruding themselves and more
and more confusing the people Even
the courts do not seem to be able to
get together and stay together upon
the question.
The methods Of amending the Con-
stitution has been matter Of con-
lecture for caprice for many years
since the Supreme Court set aside =
number Of amendments that had for
years been carried on the statute books
as valid laws. The l. & r. Amend
ments only added to the confusion.
Some held that they meant one ihInr
and some another. And good lawyers
and expert grammarlans could prove
that each was right, and, per contra
that the other was wrong. In conse-
quence, the old weather-bcalen Con.
stitution has come through the storm
almost unscathed, with only an occs-
sional scar. The venerable doeums..
seems to bear a charmed life. n /.
