Supreme Court Hears Knight Notary Case
The North Carolina Supreme Court hears arguments on whether the notary act granting women notarial powers is constitutional. Mrs Nolan Knight, the first woman appointed under the act, and supporters contend the act allows women to hold a public office as notaries, while critics debate eligibility and the office's nature. The case centers on whether a nonvoter can hold office and if notary is a public office, with Attorney General Bickett presenting both sides.
