F. A. V. FALL DANCE
DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR
One of Biggest and Best
Events of Carolina's So
cial Season
"Alas! for those who never
lance-But die with all their
music in them." Such seemed
the sentiment of those "who
lanced" at the breaking up of
the first annual fall dance of the
F. A. V. Club Saturday morning
Iovember 10th, at about two P. M.
And if the second "annual"
mnd all the other "annuals" of
:his organization equal its first,
;hen long live the F. A. V. Club!
For it was a very successful, well
>lanned and well carried out
'unction from start to finish.
['he invitations were pretty and
Lttractive and the dance cards
teat and cleverly gotten up.
The latter especially showed
areful and original work --and
iobody failed to mention them.

INTERESTING CASES UP
BEFORE MOOT COURT
Co-eds on Counsel for First
Time in History of
Association.
At t h e convening of Moot
Court on Thursday evening, No
vember 8th, a large crowd had
gathered to hear the trial of the
case of State vs. Shade Johnson,
indicted for arson.
This was a very interesting
case, not only on account of its
merits, but more especially be
cause of the fact that for the
first time in the history of the
Moot Court of the university,
or in the courts of the State,
women appeared as of counsel in
the conduct of the case. The at
torneys in the case were, for the
State, Solicitor C. L. Shealy, as
sisted by Mrs. M. L. Holman
and H. C. Bowen; for the defend
ant, C. H. Wells, Miss Claudia J.
Sullivan, and J. L. Palmer. The
case was tried before His Honor
J. Nelson Frierson.
Shade Johnson (impersonated
by Mr. J. I). Dusenbury) was
charged with the burning of a
store building, on the first floor
of which the prosecuting witness
(Mr. J. C. Kearse) conducted a
Zrocery store, the second story
being occupied by the proprietor
ind his assistant as sleeping
ipartments. The State was un
ible to prove beyond a reasonable
loubt that defendant was guilty
)f the crime charged, and the
jury, after being out for some
:ime, returned and announced
:hru Mr. Murchison, foreman,
-hat they were unable to agree,
md a mistrial was ordered.
