troversy between negro and mer-
chant at Dennis over bottle of pop,
five negro churches, two negro schools
and lodge hall were burned almost

although a reward of $1,10O is offered
: Tho ic oil
the negro was refused a bottle of pop
by the merchant who was just closing
his place of business. The negro made
an insulting remark and others took
up his quarrel Pistols then were
brought into play, followed by the
firing of the churches. Feeling is
tense and negroes are staying indoors.
Kansas City-When you dance on
the Kansas side these rules, announc-
en- by N. V. Reichenecker, welfare of
ficer, must be obeyed:
No heads together.
Man and woman must stand ct least
six inches apart
Man must place his hand on the
woman's back, lower than the point
of the shoulder blade.
Absolutely no shimmee dancing
No jingling or vulgar swaying of
the shoulders
No "slow drags" of a vulgar ma
ture.
The new rules were explained by
the welfare officer at lodge dance
after he had cautioned several couples
for failure to observe the regulations.
When the announcement was made
many couples quit dancing until the
more intrepid ventured to interpret
the new regulations. Recently Kan
sas side women started a crusade
against shimmee dancing and the city
passed an ordinance prohibiting it,
the penalty for violation being a S25
fine. The welfare officer says he in
tends to have the dancing on the Kan
sas side beyond reproach.
