C., April 10.-The iittio town of Chapin, in Lexington County, this State, seems to be Provi dentially hindered from having within ils confines a branch of the great moral institution, the State dispensary. Some time ago the State Board of Directors endeavored to rent a vacant store In which to open up the dispen sary, but so averse were the people of the little town to the proposition a building could not be seoured. Recently the friends of the institu tion discovered that there was a vacant lot in the town that belonged to a Mr. Schott, who resides in New York. They bought it, hauled the lumber and were about to build when Charles P. Robinson went to Lexington Court Honor, an?! ?CCd tiro ti ?.10 io the lot. He found that the original deed from the late Martin Chapin, after whom the .town was named, made it a condition that no liquor should ever be Bold on the premises. About the only thing left for the Dispensary Board to do with regard to Chapin is to build air castles. What will be done remains to be seen.
