DEFENDS
HIMSELF IN COURT
Unprecedented Scene Before
Supreme Tribunal in Habeas
Corpus Case.

Probably never before in Virginia
has a Judge appeared before an appel
late court 70 argue the validity OF MS
own act. as was done in the supreme
Court Of Appeals yesterday morning
by r. Gordon Finney. special Justice
of the peace in Alexandra County
Mr.. Finney argued his own case IN
opposition 70 an application Tor
writ of habeas corpus made 70 the court
by w B. Settle. who was committed
for contempt proceedings.
Settle himself. although apparently
the person most interested. was not rep
resented at all. This makes IL evident
that the whole matter is intended as
a test of the constitutionality OF the
act passed by the last Legislature per
uniting the appointment OF the speciai
Justices of the peace, with the pow
ers exercised by police Justice In
city.
Another remarkable feature to the
proceedings yesterday was the fact
that Attorney General Samuel w VA.
liams. appearing in the case, admitted
the unconstitutionality or the act'
while at the same time declaring that
the ruling of Justice Finney in com
hitting Settle was valid, inasmuch as
he IS the de facto judge.
Argue Constitutionality.
In view of the fact that he had the
power by being in office. the Attorney
General did not see that the constl-
nationality of the act was factor IN
this particular proceeding. However,
he did not hesitate to say that the law
does not conform to the Constitu-
ton.
Mr. Finney argued that the Legisia-
ture is given the right IN Section lOo
of the Constitution to provide for the
apDointment or election and Tor the
Jurisdiction of such justices of the peace
as the public interest may require
THE Attorney General called atten-
tion to the act itself. which permits

Five Deaths Thus Far.
This disease, so commonly supposed
TO be harmless has produced i've
deaths so far. AS a usual thing, only
children seem susceptible to death from
measles. yet the present epidemic has
caused the death of one white woman,
forty-six years old. The other deaths
were: two negro boys. one and four
years old two negro girls. eighteen
months and two years old.
The epidemic of 1910 caused twenty
nine deaths, and while the cases seem
more numerous this year. the health
officials expect the fatality TO be les.

Glenn Goes to Charleston.

Mr.. L. NJ. Glenn leaves the city
today to accept a position on the
staff of the Charleston Evening Post.
Mr.. Glenn has many friends in Green
vile whom he has won during the
seven years that he has lived in the
city, four of which were spent as a
student at Furman and the remaining
three as city editor of The News.
Mr.. Glenn's newspaper career has
been unusually brilliant. Immediate
ly after his graduation, he joined the
reportorial staff of the Columbia Re-
cord, going from there to the News
and Courier. During the three years
that he has been connected with The
News he has been an earnest and
painstaking worker, evincing real
ability to succeed in his chosen field.
That Mr.. Glenn has excepted the call
to Charleston is source of genuine
distress not only to his fellow work
ers but to a wide circle of friends
in the city. He is young man whose
genial nature will win for him friends
wherever he is located.-Greenvllle

ESKIMO HOSPITALITY.
An Explorer Tells How He Was En-
tanned.

In Harper's magazine, Stefansson,
the explorer, tells Of the remarkable
hospitality with which he and his
party were received by one of the
strange tribes Of Eskimos whom they
encountered.
When we had entered the house
the boiled pieces of seal-meat had al
ready been taken out Of the pot and
lay, steaming on a sideboard. On be-
ing assured that my tastes in food
were not likely to differ from theirs,
my hostess picked out for methe lower
joint of seals fore-leg, squeezed it
firmly between her hands to make
sure nothing should later drip from
it, and handed it to me, along with
her own copper-bladed knife, the
next most desirable piece was similar
ly squeezed and handed to her hus-
band, and others in turn to the rest
of the family. When this had been
done, one extra piece was set aside
in case should want second help
ing, and the rest of the boiled meat
was divided into four portions, with
the explanation to me that there
were four families in the village who
had no fresh seal-meat. The little
adopted daughter of the house, a
girl seven or eight, had as her task
to take a small wooden platter and
carry the four pieces of boiled meat
to the four families who had none OF
their own to cook. I thought to my
self that the pieces sent out were a
good deal smaller than the individual
portions We were eating, and that the
recipients would not get quite a
square meal; but learned later that
night from my two companions that
four similar presents had been sent
out from each of the houses where
they were eating, and I know now
that every house in the village IN
which any cooking was done had
likewise sent four portions, so that
the aggregate must have been a good
deal more than the recipients could
eat at one time. During our meal
presents of food were also brought
us from other houses; each house
wife apparently knew exactly what
the others had put in their pots, and
whoever had anything to offer that
was a little bit different would send
some of that to the others, so that
every minute or two small girl mes
senger appeared in our door with a
platter of something to contribute to
our meal.

The Misses Boyd at Home Tuesday

On Tuesday afternoon from 4.30
till 6 O'Clock the Misses Boyd enter
tanned a few of their girl friends at
Wildwood, their home, near Corn
well, in this county.
After an exchange of greetings,
the guests were seated on the porch,
where Miss Esther Boyd soon an
nounced an interesting alphabet con-
test. This contest was entertaining
and mentally invigorating.
The guests were then lea into the
dining room, where a simple color
scheme of green and gold was fol-
lowed in the decorations: On the
table were hearts and flowers" and
dainty place-card for each. On one
side of the card were found heart
of green and a heart of gold through
which Cupid's dart had passed and
the names, Jessie and Cecil.
Miss Sue McKeown, whose place
was at the guest of honor's left, was
asked to read what she found on the
other side of her card. She read:
How strange thing is love!
1t cometh from above
And lighteth like dove
On some!
And some it never hits
But that it gives them fits
And scatters all their wits
Ho! Hum!
A delicious ice course was served
in which the color scheme was car
ried out.
The girls left the dining room, re-
alizing that the feature of the oc-
casion was the announcement of the
engagement of their friend, Miss Jes-
sic Boyd, of Cornwell, to DR.. Cecil
Browning Ray, of Olar.
After returning to the porch, each
one Was given d S1tp VI poPSA, - poA
Gil and FIVE minutes in which to write

These recipes not only afforded much
amusement for the time, but will
prove valuable as future reference

the selection of the trousseau, which
was supposed to consist of articles
suggested from the words, Boyd
Ray.
During the afternoon musical Sc
lections were rendered by Misses Ce-

BUYING HAIR AT ANNUAL FAIRS.
Girls of Brittany Sell Their Crop Of
Beautiful Locks to Highest Bidder.


Girls of Brittany Sell Their Crop Of
Beautiful Locks to Highest Bidder.
The hair with which society women
supplement their own can scarcely be
termed false, for the simple. reason
that it comes from the heads of other
women. The most famous fair in the
world is held annually in Limoges, in
Brittany, when the old fashioned
market place is filed with young
peasant girls, with their long hair
trailing in gorgeous waves over their
shoulders. They stand demurely
while dealers barter for their beaut1-
full tresses. Hairdressers say that
they can get better hair from the
Limoges market than from any other
in the world.
However, different countries have
different specialties in hair, and the
agents scour them all in search OF
suitable tresses. The treasured gold
en- hair which ladies of the theatrical
profession so often covet, comes from
Germany and Sweden; while Hungary
and Italy send black tresses to sup
plement the scanty locks of the socl-
ety dame. Some of the latter come
from the far east, but as Chinese and
Japanese hair is of a somewhat coarse
texture, it is generally only used for
the purpose of pals.
The buying and selling are con-
Quoted chiefly at fairs, although much
bargaining is done privately in the
villages. The agent or cutter takes
up his quarters and displays highly
colored handkerchief tied to a walk
ing stick or fastened from one win
dow to another.
Women who are willing to sell
their hair are thus acquainted with
the agents whereabouts, and as pay
ment for the tresses may receive a
piece of cloth or a gaudy petticoat,
worth, perhaps, two or three shillings
in English money. And the agent
would get anything between 1o20 and
10 b4O-according to color, texture and
general beauty-for pound OF halr
thus obtained.
About a hundred years ago large
quantities of hair came from ireland,
Kildare and adjoining counties sup
plying fair and auburn locks, while
from the south came the raven tress-
es for which the daughters of Erin
are so justly admired.
The usual price for a good crop
was los but now the girls wear hats
instead of bonnets which hide the
back of their heads, and although oc-
casionally peddler may induce a
colleen to part with her hair in ex-
change for few tr1nkets, practically
the trade. In Irish hair is dead

LOOKIN FOR NEGRO IN GEORGIA.
Dogs Unable to Take Trail Of Man
Who Attempted Assault.

Cairo, Ca, Aug. 18.-Grady coun-
ty is being secured for a negro who
attacked a 16-year-old girl living 8
miles north of Cairo, last night about
8 o'clock. The young girl went out
on a porch to get drink of water,
and the black attempted to seize her.
She eluded his grasp and screamed
for help, and the negro made off into
the woods. The sheriff arrived with
dogs, but they were unable to take
the trail on account of so many peo-
pie having tramped around the place,
searching for the negro.
