At COURT HOUSE.

One of the most interesting
meetings Of the series that have
been held since the Inauguration
Of the jefferson DAVIS Highway
movement in Oxford, Was held At
the Court House Monday night.
when the big court room upstairs
was pretty well filled with citizens
of the town and visitors.
The meeting was called to order
at 7:30 by Hon. c. F. Sisk. presi-
lent of the Business Mems Club.

stated in a pointed and brief way

ing to appoint delegates to the

prevailed that four delegates be
appointed, as follows: E E.
Temple, c. E. Sisk. E.O. Davidson,
d. l.. Ross, with six alternate. to
be appointed by the Chair.
Prof. J. p. Horton, of Holly
Springs, was present and was
called upon for talk. The Pro-
fessor was loaded, to say the least.
AM he fired into Oxford, and be-
fore he had gone very far, long
faces looked like pumkins which
had been prepared for a hollo-
ween party.
Prof. Horton went off in every
direction and his aim never miss
ed a mark. He declared the town
OF Holly Springs was ''on the
map as also was Marshall county.
and that his people had sent him
to deliver the message. He was
severe in his criticisms of the idea
of Oxford people leaving Holly
Springs of the jefferson Davis
Highway map, but when ne had
finished his speech, his object was
thoroughly understood, and the
Oxford people agreed to consider
Holley Springs and Marshall
county on the map"
Prof, Dorrah followed with an
explanation as to why he did not
put HOlley Springs on the map.
He owned up to making the map
and said at the time he did not
really know that Marshall county
was on the map. but that he had
since learned that it was.
Hon. G. W. Rayburn, mayor
Of Water Valley, Messrs. John
Wagner and j. L. Kirby, also of
Water Valley. were present and

cants for the month of August, the

FINED 5000 FOR
THE SALE OF LIQUOR
Attorney For Joseph Soltz Files APP
peal on Ground of MistriaI.

Contending that the state had failed
to abide by the statutes, by not hav-
ing Albert Gard, its principal witness,
in the liquor case against Joseph
Soltz. in court Thursday at New Lon
don, when the case was called At
torney Morris Lubschansky represent
ing Soltz, refused to accept the ruling
of the court that Cards absence made
no material difference and declined to
present further testimony Acting
Prosecuting Attorney Frank Q. Cronin
then informed The court that under the
circumstances he would not agrue his
side of the case and with further ado
Judge Colt found Soltz guilty of the
violation Of the liquor laws and as
sessed a fine of $500 and costs.
appeal on the grounds of a mistrial
and furnished the bond Of 800 de-
manded by the court for his re-
lease.
Attorney Lubchansky sprung a
surprise upon the court when he de-
the presence of Gard in the court
room. Judge Colt overruled his OBJ
lection and Charles Soltz was called
to the stand and sworn. After a short
delay Attorney Iubchansl1y announced
that he would recall his witness and
take an exception to the courts rul-
ing on the grounds of mistria1. His
action brought the trial of the case
to an abrupt ending.
Much of the evidence in the case
was taken at a hearing in police court
last Friday when Gard appeared as
the chief witness for the state, testify
ing that he had gone to the market
conducted by Soltz on John street the
Sunday previous and purchased a
pint of gin for 25 cents. Gard had
been arrested the previous Monday
evening on a charge of soliciting a
bride from So1tz. After the trial last
Friday morning he was released from
custody and at the request of Acting
Prosecuting Attorney Cronin the
charge against him was nolled by the
court today.
Attorney Lubchansky argued that
according 20 his Interpretation of the
statutes all witnesses in a criminal
case shall be retained and attend each
session of the court until the matter
in hand is disposed of. He contended
that in the absence of Gard from
court the law was being violated.
Judge Colt said that he knew OF
no such statute and declared that he
saw no need for the presence Of AL
bert Gard in court considering the fact
that he has already testified and been
cross examined by the counsel for the
accused.

THE NEW DANCES
Being Considered at the Convention
of Teachers in Session in New York
Walking the Dog One of the
Latest.

The American Society of Professors
of Dancing, of which Prof. H. T. Mil
Ter Of Norwich, is member, and
which was organized in 1888, is hold
jestic Hotel, New York. to settle the
all-important question of the proper
steps for the coming season.
1.-The keynote of dancing this sea-
son will be simplicity and grace" said
a professional from Boston. 1.-THE
exhibition dances have done much to
interest amateurs in teh artistic in
dancing. fhey are only now beginning
to realize the poetry of motion and
the beauty of simple steps well done.
Standardized routine is being aban-
doned, with the result that all dane
ing is becoming more inspirational,
and the dancers of today are contin
ually seeking new expressions for mu-
sic.
1.-THE present dances are extremely
popular everywhere and it is very I'M
likely that they will change materially
although it is a little early to fore
cast. OF course, new ideas always
spring up at this time of year and
there is just now decided tendency
toward the military and the Hawaiian.
The Military Trot will undoubtedly
gain in favor. 1t originated in Bos-
ton. The steps are very simple and it
Is most inspiring danced to one of
SouSa's marches
A woman expert is Introducing the
London Taps, which. is just now very
popular abroad. 1t is danced to fox
trot time, but the music is played in
termittent1y From the description it
will take considerable practice Mrs
Hublssal says the Hawaiian music will
surely prevail and, greatly modified
those exotic dances will eventually
rank in favor with the tango.
Now that the dances have become
simpler and every one is more facile
in the steps the men are to be re-
quired to lead backwards. This will
be good news to many girls who have
complained bitterly against this stead
fast rule of being sent backwards, and
by some men just as though they were
chairs.
Contrary to the prevailing opinion,
the tango is not to go, but it will never
supplant the waltz, which will stay ON
for ever. so the dancing teachers say
Then there is the Walking the Dog,
the Bugle Fox Trot, Tactics Militaire.
and any number of others if you really
must learn some new ones.
The convention will continue until
Friday, when all rules will be firmly
fixed, and there will be no excuse for
any one making a false step. -

THE NEW SHELTERING ARMS,
Conditions at the Present Time Make
1t Certain That 1t VIII Not Be Con-
structed for Year or Two,

Just when the United Workers will
undertake the construction of the new
Sheltering Arms building has not been
determined, blu: according to the state
ment of an officer Of the organization,
the existing conditions are such that
1t is probable that they viii! not at
tempt construction work for a year or
two.
AT the present time nothing definite
has been determined in regard to the
plans for the building. Drawings are
being considered, and the style of the
structure has not as yet been deter
mined, so that the matter of cost is
still an unknown quantity, but it is
intended that the building when com
pleted will be one of which the organ
ization can be proud and one that will
fully serve the purpose for which it is
intended.

DOES NOT BELIEVE
CHILD HAS PARALYSIS
But DR.. Brophy Will Report 1t as Case
to State Board of Health.

DR.. Harry z. Higgins has reported
an Italian child, II months of age, son
of Dano Urbantiti, 80 Avery street, to
City Health officer Edward J. Brophy
as a mild case of infantile paralysis
Because of the uncertainty N the ma
ture of the case, Dr. Ross Black was
sent here by DR.. John T. Black, Sec
rotary of the state board of health, to
examine the child. In company with
DIR. Higgins he visited the baby and
stated to DR.. Higgins that he believed
it to be mild case of infantile paral-
ysis. The child has not been out Of
town and bag had no visitors from
other places, 70 there is no history of
exposure.
DR.. Brophy was not notified of the
presence of DR.. Rlack in the city and
had no opportunity to see the child
with him. DR.. Higgins believes the
case to be one of those which may
occur from time to time in various
cities, and having no connection with
the epidemic. Last October there was
one case in this city. that of IL year
old girl named Lamb, of Twelfth street,
who died Of tho disease.
While DR.. Bropl1y does not consider
the case as one Of infantile paralysis,
he will report it as such with the
state board of health. DR.. Higgins in
