charged with making remarks highly
derogatory to the character Of the plaintiff.
The attorney for the defendant as much as
admitted his clients guilt, and argued that
he could not be convicted on the charge of
libel, for the code provided that only written
statements could be taken as evidence. and
that verbal statement did not constitute
grounds for action on that plea. Judge
Miller, in passing upon the case at length.
conceded with Judge Humes, of the
superior court, who short time ago held
that malicious oral statements were prob
ably defamation OF character, but not
libel, and the prisoner was discharged.

The close observer cannot but perceive
that there are changes taking place in our
established standards of beauty. For in
stance, the Southern type of lovely woman
was formerly creature OF languorous
movement. dusky hair, passionate. dark
eyes: TO-DAY she is frequently classic
blonde, devoid of high color, like Chero-
kee rose, perfect in outline and energetic in
movement, as are the traditional North
erners. Those American women, however,
who are the most admired abroad are a
conjunction OF these two leading types
golden hair united to brown or hazel eyes,
soft, smooth skin. witt faint olive shading,
little color, features sharply defined and
the figure heaIthiIy rounded.

Styles In Fall Bonnets.


The straw bonnet will be worn late in the
season, 1t being no longer counted an IN
usual sight TO see fur coat with a straw
bonnet above it. Indeed, last year very
many fashionable women wore dark straw
bonnets ali the season. OF course they
we're trimmed with velvet and had what
might be called winter decorations upon
them; but they were after al yeritabe
straw chapeaux. The lady-like capote will
undoubtedly retain its popularity. The
rather tat trimmings are still fancied and
consist of ribbon bows, flowers, grasses,
small fruits or berries. and. indeed, what
ever may be deemed becoming or adapted
TO costume. A black lace straw has
pulled brim of goIden-brown velvet. In
front. mashed down almost to the level of
the crown. are three brown velvet wall
flowers. The ties coming from the back
are of brown velvet ribbon and are looped
Just under the chin.

client of Attorney Dyer in Justice Rivers
court Friday. came up for trial in Justice
Miller's court yesterday afternoon at
O'Clock. He was arraigned on a charge of
assault and battery. and the hearing of the
case occupied nearly two hours. About
ten witnesses for both sides were examined
and great diversity OF testimony was the
result. Nearly every body saw the fight
differently, aud the justice before whom
the case was tried was left in quandary.
he finally wound up the case by dismissing
the defendant and throwing the matter out
of court.
Later in the afternoon Officer C. M. Neff,
who made the arrest, appeared before
Justice Rivers and wanted to swear out
warrants on a charge of fighting against
the three other participants, Dyer, Will
liams and Craven. The justice and city
attorney would not issue a warrant, how
ever, saying the matter was too trivial, and
thus the case was dropped.

Socialism and Anxrchism.
cniesro Herald.

The European Socialist leaders object to
the proposal that they hold an internation-
al Socialist congress in Chicago in 1923.
They affirm that Chicago is so much
afflicted with Anarchy that their conyen-
ton might not escape contamination by it.
This is to be regretted. A considerable
body OF unrehecing people do not dis
criminate between Socialism and Anarchy.
An International Socialist congress would
Contribute toward a clearing of the differ
ence between them. Anarchy has abso-
Iutely nothing TO recommend it. There
are many suggestions in Socialism which
are far from being evil.
