There is every evidence to show that there has been an appreciable decrease in drunkenness in Chester and county since the voting out of the dispensary. The Mayor's Court, nrMrth nn the time the disDensary was relegated to innocuous desuetude, as President Cleveland would have said, met almost every morning to try the case of some weary malefactor, who almost invariably owed his plight to the flowing bowl. Now since the same flowing bowl has been removed from sight and is much harder for its devotees to get hold of, drunkenness has materially fallen off. Not . only do the police records bring out this fact, but the most careful observer can note it as he goes forth and about on his daily duties. A prominent merchant was relating a few days ago what occurred in his store last Saturday. It was.something like this: A man and his wife had come in, and the wife, looking around, had fallen in love with a certain article, Which she asked her spouse to purchase. He, taking out the necessary change, purchased the article, saying that th^unount represented what he would have wasted on liquor, were the latter obtainable. Instances like this are not lacking and it is difficult to see how the absence of liquor is nrkf. ominor hfl a vast benefit to busi ness thumghoufc the country, if the illicit trafic can be broken up, ^vhich, judging by the prompt and vigorous steps of the authorities will be done. ?Chester Correspondent of News and Courier. &}k - ??? (Joes For Luge Hats. "Any lady who decorates herself in a way to shut off the view of those sitting behind her commits a theft?a theft not tolerated in the theatre and a theft which Christian consideration ought to render impossible in the sanctuary." The wave of protest against the. "merry widow" and other large sized women's headgear having reached the Madison Avenue Presbyterian church, the Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst so declared himself on Sunday in a short j prelue to the regular morning sermon. The terse rebuke, reminder and suggestion, said Dr. Parkhurst by way of introduction, was pot prompted by the general fitness of things, but by riotarminpd nnmnlaints made bv members of this congregation." A number of generously propori tioned hat9 were seen to come off after the minister's statement, and it is predicted that more will be removed on Sundays to come. Protests against large hats have been made in several of New York's prominent churches. ?

John D. Rockefeller was a witness in court in New York on Thursday all day. At the recess he chatted with the newspaper reporters and, among other things, said: "When I was a young man, I used to work day and night, but I never forgot that I had a stomach. You can work long hours if you are careful about what yon eat. I was always careful about what I put into my stomach, and today I have cause to be very grateful for it. I never felt in better health than today, as a result of rigidly adhering to a policy of a careful diet when I was a boy. I advise any one who wants to keep his health to do the same. Then when you young men get to be seventy years old, you will be able to keep up your work. "I never felt better in my life than I do now. For the last twenty years I have kept out of doors as much as possible and to that practice, coupled ? T mTT <\v - wiuu a uareiui uiot, ? atwiuuuo mj excellent health." A Personal Appeal.

The first year class has a set of very fine looking young men and three lovely young ladies. The contingency from Lexington county is not quite as large this year as formerly. Those from Lexington are: M. M. Riddle, of Ballentine and I J. O. Crout of Gilbert, Frank Wingard of Lexington, and Miss Martha Hendrix Caughman of Lexington.
