Less Drunkenness at Chester.
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.

Courier.

(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.

Eleven-Year-Old Boy
A Gambler and Murderer.
Messages received at Pensacola,
Fla., tell of the mortal wounding of
Charle3 Williams at the turpentine
camps of Goodwin Brothers, about
eleven miles from Pensacola, byBanister
Sheffield, a boy eleven years
old.
The man and boy were playing
cards and with them was James Sheffield,
13-years old. A dispute arose
and the man, it i9 said, threatened
James Sheffield, the older of the two.
He had a revolver and drew it and
threatened to shoot, but the elevenyear-old
brother emptied the; contents
of a shot gun into the ajpmach
of Williams. ? v
Both boys fled and have rip been
captured.

Value Of Careful Diet.
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.
If we could talk to you personally
about the great merit of Foley's Honey
and Tar, for coughs, colds and lung
trouble, you never could be induced to
experiment with unknown preparations
that may contain some harmful drugs.
Foley's Honey and Tar costs you no
more and has a record of forty years of
cures. For sale at Derrick's Drug
Store.
Pretty High Bight.
Bill Nye had the truth well told
when he said: "A man may use a
wart on the back of his neck for a collar
button, ride on the back coach of
a railroad train to 9ave interest on his
money till the conductor gets around, j
stop his watch at night to save wear j
and tear, leave ins *r or 'v witn a aot
or cross to save ink, pasture bis
mother's grave to save corn, but a man
of this sort is a gentleman and a
scholar compared with the fellow that
will take a newspaper two or three
J years and when asked to pay for it
puts it back into the office and has it
marked "refused."

Advice to the Tired Woman.
Don't grit your teeth and work harder,
Ease up a little.
Don't talk any more than you can
help. Talking takes vitality.
Lie down in a dark place if only for
15 minutes.
Don't read anything in which you
are not interested.
Don't feel that everything must be
done in one day. There are 364 more.
Realize that it is better to leave
things undone than overdo yourself.
Avoid people and their woes at that
time. Seek someone frivolous.
Don't try to improve yourself. Give
your mind a rest.
And don't forget that a little lemon
juice in cold water in the morning is
a great help?Baltimore American.

A Dangerous Operation..
is the removal of the appendix by a surgeon.
No one who takes Dr. King's
New Life Pills is ever subjected to this
frightful ordeal. They work so quietly
you don't feel them. They cure constipation,
headache, biliousness and malaria.

From tho S. C. University.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
So far this has been one of the most
successful years in the history of the
University. The enrollment exceeds
that of any previous year, and this
means a great deal when we take into
consideration the fact that the institution
is now in its one-hundreth and
sixth year. 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.
Shealy andi Wessinger left us last
June with their B. A. degrees. Derrick

than substituting some unknown worthless

From "Wildwood, Florida.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Please allow me a small space in
your valuable paper.
Hog and hominy is the order of the
day.
Farmers are putting in a large crop
of cabbage around Wildwood.
Our little town is growing fast.
Orange gathering is in progress
now and the crop is very large.
Sumter county is a very productive
section of Florida for corn and peas.
We have three grades of water?
lime, sulphur and freestone. Health
is good here.

Obituary.
Carrie L. Shealy wa9 born Nov. 13,
1880, and died Nov. 14,1908. Her stay
in this land of sorrow and trouble wa9
only 28 years and 1 day. Her suffering
was great indeed, but she bore it
with the {patience of a saint as it
seemed to those who stood around her
dying bed.
She was a member of St. Luke's
Lutheran church, Columbia, S. C. She
was buried in the family grave-yard.
She leaves a heart-broken mother,
two brothers and two sisters,'" and relations
and friends to mourn after her.
Their loss, we hope, is her gain. We
commend the mother and her children
to the Lamb of God that taketh
away the sin of the world.

Cotton is still holding its own around
nine cents. The tone of the market

is good, and careful watchers of the
market are of the opinion that the

no one knows, but it is generally believed
the price will go up instead of
down.
