Cut Glass Dishes SOC

We held a similar sale some weeks ago, but the quantity
did not begin to be large enough. We have more of these
pretty dishes this time we hope to go round. The very
thing for New Years gifts. Fiveinch cut glass handled
or round naples, also spade, diamond, heart and club shapes.
These pretty dishes are not merely ornamental, they may be
put to many practical uses. Nice for bonbons, olives, jelIies
or nuts, in fact, dozens of purposes. Heavy blanks and deep
cuttings. Every piece strictly perfect. Regular $1O0 values
and good ones at that. Special while they last. (No mail or
telephone orders flled)

We are not doing a bit more to boom our Manhat-

Of fact the only booming" we ever did was to offer the

L isn't likely that these people would pass their local
stores and make a more or less tedious trip to Newark
if they were not satisfied in their own minds that they
can do better here than at home. They don't come to

turns to the White House proper, where he takes
his place In the big east room with his wife at
his right hand. By the special Invitation of Mrs.
Taft the wives Of some OF the more prominent

families, are asked to become members Of the

and a hard duty It is, for the major must catch

WOULD ENFORCE LIQUOR Law
cHANCERY AND CRIMINAL COURTS
HAVE CONCURRENT POWER.
LIQUOR Act Of 1910 Providing for At
tachment for Judgment Upheld BY
Supreme Court.

:Tackson.-One of the acts of the SEES
sion of the legislature of Mississippi
held in 1910, as to which there was some
doubt concerning its legality and constitu-
tionality, has successfully u the gaunt-
let of the supreme court, and being up
held it is expected to WELD considerable
weight in enforcing the law against
the LIQUOR traffic. The act in question,
which is chapter 1874, laws of 1910, has
for its intent making it unlawful to sell
Or give away .vinous or spurious liquors,
and making such persons liable to pay .
tax, also giving the chancery court juris-
diction concurrent with courts OF law,
to entertain suits and TO collect the tax
provided for such unlawful dispensing OF
LIQUORS in his or their places OF business.
Il provides that any person who may sell
or give away liquor, at his place OF bus
mess, or elsewhere, shall be subject to
pay . tax to the state, county, town o.
village, each (both state and municipal
ity), $500, which may be recovered
through due court process, at the in
stance Of any taxpayer, and in the name
of the state revenue agent, or any sheriff
or tax collector; and furthermore, such
suit may be commenced by attachment,
without bond.
Section 2 of the act gives the chancery
court concurrent jurisdiction for the en-
forcement of the provisions OF the first
section, and the chancery court is given
plenary power and authority for sup
pressing such nuisance al may be estab'
lished under the act.
Tho first case to reach the supreme
court governed by the new act was ap.
pealed from the chancery court OF War
rem county, where Marion Marshall, con
Quoting a so-called soft drink place,
had all the trimmings and paraphernalia
common to regular licensed saloons in
the old days, before the coming in OF
the present administration, and the
passage of the statewide prohibition
laws. The suit against Marshall was
filed at the instance Of the attorney
gencarl, and was a civil action, pure and
simple. Suit was entered for the stat
utory tax of $500 each for state and city
and the attachment applied for with .
view to enforcing the judgment.
In an opinion handed down Chief Jus
tice Mayes covered the ground involved
very thoroughly, holding, in general
that the act is not conflicting; that thu
chancery court has, and always has had
Jurisdiction through injunction process
to abate such q nuisance, and even fur
ther, that it is not denied to a chancery
court to enforce even statutory penal
ties in proper cases.
This is a valuable decision, and viii

it is to enforce the law in the discharg'
