VOLUME IV. NEWPORT. ARKANSAS. MONDAY. DECEMBER 5. 1904. NUMBER *89.^
SUPREME COURT
GRANTS MANDAMUS
Requiring Circuit Judge Fulker
son to Issue Order for Seiz
ure of Liquors in the
^ First Ward.
The supreme court of Arkan
sas on Saturday in an opinion
, written by Justice Battle, grant
ed the mandamus order petitioned
for by R. T. Simmons against
\ Circuit Judge F. D. Fulkerson
for an order of seizure of liquors
alleged to have been unlawfully
kept for sale in the First ward of
this city by J. E. Doherty &
Company. Since the filing of
this mandamus the saloon of
Henry Bordwell has also been
moved into the disputed territory
and the order of the higher court
will likewise apply to his stock.
Circuit Judge Fulkerson had
been appealed to for such an or
der of seizure shortly after the
removal of license granted by
the county judge, Dr. J. M.
Jones, to J. E. Doherty & Com
pany and Henry Bordwell, but
refused. An appeal through this
mandamus proceeding was taken
to the supreme court by R. T.
Simmons and that body now holds
that the circuit judge has no dis
I cretion as to the making of the
I order of seizure and to show
I cause why the alleged contra
il band goods be not destroyed.
The parties against whom these
orders must now be issued by the
circuit judge are to have their
day in court before any order for
m the destruction of the seized
liquors may be made.
Justices Wood and Riddick
dissented from the opinion of the
court. S. D. Campbell repre
sented the plaintiff and 0. W*.
Scarborough the defendant.
MALLORY WINS SUIT.
In the case of the state vs. W.
B. Mallory of Memphis the court
in an opinion given by Associate
Justice E. A. McCulloch, de
clared unconstitutional in part
the fourth section of the act of
1903 for the protection of fish
and game. The part of the law
which is affected by the decision
is as follows:
“Section 4. It shall be unlaw
ful for any person who is a non
resident of the state of Arkansas
t*> shoot, hunt, fish or trap at
any season of the year.”
It is held that the section is
unconstitutional as applied. t<
non-resident land owners hunt
ing or fishing on their own prem
ises.
REVERSE LANGFORD JUDGMENT
The court has reversed the de
cision of Special Chancellor Can
trell in the suit brought by th<
citizens of Searcy against W. A
Langford of Pine Bluff, in whicl
judgment was rendered againsi
Mr. Langford for $17,500 ant
the property of the Speers-Lang
ford Military institute placed ii
the hands of five trustees for th<
city of Searcy. Mr. Langford
by this decision of the court
wins the suit.
THE SOUTH’S RESOURCES
The total agricultural product:
in the south in 1880 was $660,000,
000, while the government bu
reau estimates the value of thi:
year’s cotton crop alone, includ
ing Seed, at $666,500,000.
The total value of southen
agricultural products this year i:
said by tlfe. statisticians to ex
ceed $1,700,000,000. During th<
same time the value of manufac
tured products which amounte<
in 1880 to $457,000,000, and ii
1890 to 917,000,000 has increase!
to over $1,600,000,000.
Add to the manufactured am
agricultural products the value
of the output of the mines of the
south and we have an output of j
production valued at $3,500,000,
000 this year as against $1,100,
000,000 in 1880. In 20 years the
south has increased 60 per cent
in population, and the output in
products has been trebled in val
ue.
The south has $200,000,000
invested in cotton mills, where i
in 1890 the cotton mills were
valued at $20,000,000.
The value of lumber products
has increased from $39,000,000
in 1890 to $200,000,000 and its
railroads from 20,000 miles to
nearly 65,000.
The facts are but indications
of the general trend of material
advancement throughout the
south, but interesting as they
are, they do not by any means
tell the whole story. They are
simply indications of the future.
All that has been accomplished
has been against the overwhelm
ing odds of poverty, of misrepre
sentation, disorganized labor,
lack of capital and lack of skill
which the south had to face
twenty-five years.; ago, when it
really began its material up
building after the reconstruction
days.
Great as have been the achieve
ments of the last twenty-five1
years, wonderful as is the story
of development and growth, the
next ten years will show a far
greater aggregate development
than the past twenty-five.

Edwin Johnson now has a lead;

discouraging to his rivals, who;
