Hillsboro. Texas
Little Rock, Ark., April 6.—The Go-
ing liquor law was today held consti-
tutional by the Arkansas supreme
court. The verdict of the Pulaski cir-
cuit court being reversed and the case
remanded to the circuit court for re-
trial. The case was an appeal from
the decision of County Judge Asher,
which gave Argenta saloons. Liquor
men say 6n appeal to the United
States supreme court will be taken.
The Going law prescribes that to
obtain saloons In any incorporated
town or city a petition asking for sa-
loons and' bearing the signatures of a
majority of the adult white inhabi-
tants must be filed with the county
Judge and that a town or city must
have voted in favor of saloons at the
last general election. However, It Is
optional with the county Judge wheth-
er licenses are issued even if a peti-
tion bearing sufficient signatures is
presented. Negroes are not recog-
nized.
W. H. KNIGHT’S
MOTHER PASSED AWAY
Mr. Will Knight yesterday evening
received a message from his
father, Mt. W. H. Knight, stating that
the latter’s mother had passed away
after a three weeks’ teverless and
painless illness, death being due to
old age, she hiving been born in Sep-
tember, 1822, being therefore 91 years
of age on her last birthday.
Mr. Knight. Jr. stated to the Dis-
patch that he and several others from
this place would leave this morning
on the Interurbah to attend the fun-
eral, which will he held this afternoon
at 2:30 o’clock, interment to take
place in the Oak Lawn cemetery.

it to C. D. Lee’s camping and fishing
grounds Monday morning, and while
there had .1.3 pleasure of partaking
of a fish fry, the fish having been
caught just previous to their arrival
by Mr. Lee, who is also one of the
Dispatch family.

THE ASTON JURY
FAILS TO AGREE
CONSUL CAROTHER’S EXEQUATOR
CANCELLED BY THE DICTATOR
Washington, April 6.—The cancella-
tion by the Huerta government of the
exequator of the American consul
agent, George C. Carothers, because
he sent to Washington dispatches say-
ing the rebels had taken Torreon from
the Huerta, failed to disturb the state
department officials today.The Huer-
ta government still denies Torreon
has fallen.
Mr. Carothers obtained his oxequa-
tor when he was accredited to the Mag,
dero government and stationed at
Torreon. Since the outbreak of the
Carranza revolution he has had a rov-
ing commission in Northern Mexico
and his exequator from the Mexico
City government has been of little val-
ue to him, all his dealings being with
the constitutionalists.
It is the intention of the American
government to keep Carothers with
General Villa and the constitutionalist
leaders to make prompt representa-
tions for the safety of Americans and
other foreigners and to look after
their interests generally. Should Mr.
Carothers find it necessary to go into
territory controlled by the Huerta gov-
ernment, he may now be unable to do
business with Its local authoriti es, but
there is no prospect that he personally
will be inconvenienced or prevented
from making observations as an unof-
ficial tepresentative. Neither John
L!nd nor Wtn. Bayard Hale had any
exequator while in federal territory.
Offiah ad views telling of the expul-
sion of Hie six hundred Spaniards
from •" irnjon by General Villa were
expected luring the day. Until the
Spanish -mbassador calls it to the at-
tention of the state department here,
this is*' ttle likelihood of any action
by the Washington government. The
United States itself has issued a warn-
ing to it: own subjects to leave those
parts of Mexico where military opera-
tions are bring carried on uvd has
more than once intimated Miat other
governments might as well take simi-
lar steps. The right of deportation
is one provided for under the Mexican
constitution and has been exercised
alike by the Huerta government and
the constitutionalists for alleged mili-
tary or financial support of the ene-
my and for various other reasons.

Mr. H. G. Taylor, Hillsboro, Texas.
My Dear Friend; Yours of March
18 came duly to hand, but I did not
answer It promptly, because I wanted
to be certain that I could a jep ny
prom S3 bcfi re malting it.
As you probably know, 1 promised
my friends at Greenville last year to
attend the Confederate Reunion
there, but an important matter her,-
for one of my dents compell-
ed me to withdraw that promise al
most at the eleventh hour. Instructe 1
by that experience, 1 felt then that I
would never again permit my friends
to make arrangements for any occas-
ion with the understanding that I was
to be there, but those good friends
at the Reunion which 1 had promised
to address to agree upon bolding their
next reunion at the same time with
the understanding that 1 would come.
Under those circumstances, I did not
feel at liberty to carry out the reso-
lution which I have stated above, and
I wrote them that I would come. I
nn not certain when that reunion Is
to be held, but I think it is sometime
early in August. I have been mak-
ing ell of my plans to be in Texas
c'ur'ng the whole of July and so much
of August as would be required to
meet my Greenville engagement, In-
tenting after that to return here bo
that I could have a full sixty days
to prepare for the argument of my
cases in the Supreme Court whe^ it
convenes on the second Monday in
October.
I know that I ought not to remain
at home until after the middle’ of
August, but my sonee qf obligation to
my friends tn Hill County is no '"as
than my sense of obligation to nry
friends in Hunt County, and just as I
felt compelled to waive my resolution

SACRED HARP SINGERS
ENJOY GOOD MUSIC
Those who attended the Sacred
Harp singing Sunday afternoon at the
Church of Christ state that It has
been many years since such fine sing-
ing was rendered as on this occasion.
The Hillsboro singers were led by
Mr. H. D. Peden, and the West sing-
ers by Messrs. E. H. VSersler, G. W.
Brown and J. W. Long, and as the lat-
ter are organized they hold weekly
meetings for practice, with the result
that they are In much demand by oth-
er communities.
The West visitors extended a cor-
dial invitation to the Hillsboro sing-
ers to return the visit at the first op-
portunity, and as often thereafter as
possible.
