Arkansas Secretary of State:Educational Materials:Flag Protocol
Though simple in appearance, the flag was rich in symbolism. The colors red, white, and blue signified that Arkansas was one of the United States. The diamond reminded viewers that Arkansas had the nation's only diamond mine. The 25 white stars bordering the diamond showed that Arkansas was the 25th state to enter the union. ... At a final ceremony the worn Arkansas Flag should be raised briskly to the top of the flagpole, followed by the pledge. Then the flag should be lowered slowly. When the flag is removed from the pole, the blue diamond field should be cut away from the red field. The red field should then be folded to one-fourth its unfolded size and-placed on a- cross bar over a fire site. The blue diamond field should then be folded in half and placed over the red field. The fire should then be lit beneath the cloth pieces. Once the flag is rendered to ashes, the ashes should be collected and buried. ... [Read More]

OIC Smaltz: Briefs and Court Opinions : Sun Diamond Appendix
This matter comes before the court upon Sun-Diamond’s motion to dismiss the indictment in this case. Sun-Diamond raises six arguments in support of its motion. Each argument addresses one or more counts contained in the indictment. First, Sun-Diamond argues that count I, which charges a violation of the gratuity statute, should be dismissed because it fails to allege that Sun-Diamond provided things of value to Secretary Espy to reward him for an act he had already performed or had committed himself to perform. Second, Sun- Diamond posits that count II, which also alleges a violation of the gratuity statute, should be dismissed because it fails to allege that Sun-Diamond provided a "thing of value" to Secretary Espy. Third, Sun-Diamond moves to dismiss counts I and II because the allegations set forth therein do not distinguish between innocent gift giving and illegal gratuities. Fourth, Sun-Diamond requests that the court dismiss counts III through IX of the indictment ... [Read More]
Local.Arkansas.gov - County and Municipal Information & Services
Pike County was formed in November 1833 by the Territorial Legislature from portions of Clark and Hempstead counties and was named for Zebulon Pike, for whom Pike's Peak in Colorado is named. The county seat is Murfreesboro The landscape of the county is rugged terrain in the northern half and rolling hills in the south. The economic base of Pike County is made up of commercial forests and small family farms. At one time Pike County had the largest peach orchard in the United States or perhaps in the world. The Crater of Diamonds, an 886-acre natural park south of Murfreesboro, is the only diamond mine in North America open to the public. If you find a diamond, you keep the diamond. This brings hundreds of tourists to this area each year. More than 60,000 diamonds have been discovered since 1906, the largest and most famous being the "Uncle Sam" (40.33 carats), the "Star of Murfreesboro" (34.35 carats) and the "Star of Arkansas" (15.33 carats). The crater also yields amethyst, opal, ja ... [Read More]
The Arkansas - The United States Mint
It is fitting that the "Natural State," Arkansas's official nickname, chose images of naturalresources. Arkansas has an abundance of clear streams, rivers and lakes. In fact, Arkansas has morethan 600,000 acres of natural lakes. Arkansas is also known for its sportsmanship and boasts mallardhunting as a main attraction for hunters across the nation. Visitors to Arkansas can search Crater ofDiamonds State Park for precious gems including, of course, diamonds. The mine at Crater of DiamondsState Park reportedly is the oldest diamond mine in North America, and the only one in the United Statesopen to the public-visitors get to keep what they find. Visitors can also experience "RiceFever" in Arkansas-just the way W.H. Fuller did when he grew the first commercially successfulrice crop in Arkansas. Soon after, thousands of acres of the Grand Prairie were changed to cultivaterice, and Arkansas became the leading producer of the grain in the United States. ... [Read More]
