It resembled a Monday morning in the old dispensary time. Most of the offenders were charged with l>eing drunk. And the police officers say that they were / lot drunk on whiskey, but had been tank ing up on bitters, bay rum, etc., pur chased hi a drug store or drug stores in Camden. One negro was so drunk that he got to rambling around resi dences on Monument square and when told about it stated that he knew ab solutely nothing about the charge. James English, a negro, who resides on a farm belonging <to John T. Net tles, near Oamden, got so drunk until he got fighting mad, and It took the combined efforts of Chief Whltaker and Mr. John W. Wilson, who was called to his assistance to put the negro un der arrest. During the scuffling the officers billie was used several times in an effort to put the offender under control. He was up Monday on a charge of drunk and resisting arrest ar^d the affair cost hittj $40. - Dan Smith charged with petty lar ceny in that he'istole a pair of pants from one Isadore Wolfe was acquitted. Da^e Chestnut, a Bishopville negro, got tanked up Ml Jamaica, bay rum or something and his fine was $5. lion Langley and Bud Branham were charged with being drunk and were fined $5 each, Carrie Mickle, a n egress, was up on a charge of breach of the peace. She Was found not guilty. Paul McGirt, was charged with car rying a concealed weapon. He was acquitted. McOlrt was represented by jttoroej L. T. Mills. * v- ? ? _ ? 1 ?

There Ik u kintl of breathless Interest lie iv In New York, over the battle of the hustle and (lie straight siihoutie. iNslu.v one in sure that the lon^ skirt ami tunle, in other words the straight sllhoutte is triumphant ; tomorrow, there may lie aeon so many charming example^ of the hlUtlo frock. both on the street and Oil t the stuk'e that one thinks it sure ly will lie atvepted. However, at the present moment, the one-piece tires# and I lie frock with the loii^ tunle seem t<> Ik* the favorites. On the staye, to he sure, the hustle is most attractive. There Is sotno tiling very jjraeeful a I toil t the fall of soft materials in pleats or draiiery, whether it he at the side 01' in the huek: Sashes, too, are ? MoCALIt Semi-Fitted I)retiH of Velvet. used to obtain 'this effect, thus slightly breaking the straight line. The mate rials are usually veUet or duvetyn, in any of the soft shades of the present season. i The slogan of "American Fashions"! lias, hrosght out some wonderfully in teresting things. Indeed there is no reason why the American designers should not be 'the best judges of the styles most becoming and appropriate to th?> American woman. The slightly tltted waist, not unlike the first form of the basque, has a piquant charm when combined with the tunic that is loii?er 4h the front than the back, and the ankJe-length skirt. It is truly the cost inn e of the lady, and the illustra tion here shows some of the newest features of this style. The points of the waist are weighted with balls and chains in the form of amber beads. The beads are used Instead of a tie, too. coming from under the collar. The velvet of the dress falls in charming folds, and the pointed collar and deep (Miffs are of hoayy satin. Needless to add tlrat this is a costume for those occasions when one wishes to be par ticularly well-dressed, without having that "dress-up" feeling. From Paris, uneensored, comes the rejH>rt of somethiiig new in the trim ming line! The vogue for knitting and crocheting has received so much in terest In that interesting art that a new fad has sprung up. Wool trim mings are used on everything, from the' simple serge dress to the more ela l>orate afternoon costume. There are bands' for hats, belts, sailor collars, cuffs all in shades soft or brilliant, as the occasion demands. These trim mings are even, in some cases, supplant ing the use of fur on suits and coats. Shawl collars, made of angora or brush ed wool ,are considered very modish. Ball trimmings, crocheted in bright color*, and round flat flowers of wool embroidery, can be used both for hats and dresses. Just think how smart you can be, with x very little effort on your part, if you can knit or crochet an<l cafi spare the time from the dull gray and ollvp-drab sweaters you are turning out by the wholesale for the sailor and soldier boys! The. work goes quickly and is pleasant, besides being eo very effective. D. A. R. State Conference. . The State Conference of D. A. R. will meet in Camden Nov. 13, 14, 15. Judge M. L.
