From the s. G. 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 enrolment exceeds
that of any previous year, and this
means a great deal when we take into
consideration the fact that the insti-
tuition is now in it's 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
]. o. Crout of Gilbert, Frank Wing
ard of Lexington, and Miss Martha
Hendrix Caughman of Lexington.
shealy and Wessinger left us last
June with their B. A. degrees. Der
rick concluded that he would teach
a year before finishing his course.
Prof. Cyrus L. shealy of Camden,
spent Sunday with friends on the
campus. He is we'll pleased with his
work over there. q.

Goes For Large Hats.

''Any lady who decorates herself in
q way to shut off the view of those
sitting behind her commits theta
theft not tolerated in the theatre and
q 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 II. Parkhurst 80
declared himself on Sunday in short
prelue to the regular morning sermon.
The terse rebuke, reminder and sug-
gestion, said DR.. Parkhurst by way of
introduction, was not prompted by
the general fitness of things, but by
livery determined complaints made by
members of this congregation"
A number of generously proper
toned hats were seen to come off
after the minister's statement, and it
is predicted that more will be re-
moved on Sundays to come. Protests
against large hats have been made in
several of New York's prominent
churches.

Pretty Nigh Right.

Bill Nye had the truth we'll told
when he said: "a man may use a
wart on the back of his neck for a col
lar button, ride on the back coach of
a railroad train to save interest on his
money till the conductor gets around,
stop his watch at night to save wear
and tear, leave his IL or IT with dot
or cross to save ink, pasture his
mothers grave to save corn, but man
OF this sort is gentleman and a
scholar compared with the fellow that
will take a newspaper two or three
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 har-
der, Ease up little.
Don't talk any more than you can
help. Talking takes vitality.
Lie down in dark place if only for
Is 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 little lemon
Juice in cold water in the morning is
a great help-Baltimore American.

Obituary..

Carrie L. Shealy was born Nov. 19,
1880, and died Nov. II, 1908. Her stay
in this land of sorrow and trouble was
only % years and day. Her suffer
ing was great indeed, but she bore it
with the Epatience 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. G. She
was buried in the family graveyard.
She leaves heart-broken mother,
two brothers and two sisters, and re-
lations and friends to mourn after her.
Their loss, we hope, is her gain. We
commend the mother and her chill
dren to the Lamb of God that taketh
away the sin of the world.

Eleven Ysar-old Boy
a Gambler and Murderer.

Messages received at Pensacola,
Fla, tell of the mortal wounding OF
Charles Williams at the turpentine
camps of Goodwin Brothers, about
eleven miles from Pensacola, by
Banister Sheffield, boy eleven years
old.
The man and boy were playing
cards and with them was James Shef-
field, 13-years old. A dispute arose
and the man, it is said, threatened
James Sheffield, the older of the two.
He had revolver and drew it and
threatened to shoot, but the eleven
year-old brother emptied the. con-
tents of shot gun into the stomach
of Williams. ~
Both boys fled and have nef been
captured.

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 Mayors Court,
which up to the time the dispensary
was relegated to innocuous desuetude,
as President Cleveland would have
said, met almost every morning to
try the case of some, weary maiefac-
tor, who almost invariably owed his
plight to the flowing bowl. Now since
the same flowing bowl has been re-
moved from sight and is much harder
for its devotees to get hold OF, drunk
enness has materially fallen off. Not
only do the police records bring out
this fact, but the most careful obser-
yer can note it as he goes forth and
about on his daily duties. "A promi-
nent merchant was relating few
days ago what occurred in his store
last Saturday. 1t was something ike
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 pur-
chase. He, taking out the necessary
change, purchased the article, saying
that the amount represented what he
would have wasted on liquor, We're
the latter obtainable. Instances like
this are not lacking and it is difficult
to see how the absence OF liquor is
not going to be vast benefit to busi-
ness Throughout the county, if the
illicit traffic can be broken up, which,
Judging by the prompt and vigorous
steps of the authorities will be done.

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.

For a good many years there has
been an element of mystery we'll play
ed UP in political campaigns by the
party out of power, as to the funds
raised and disbursed in the election
of presidents. For this reason, the
list of contributors to the Repub-
llcan campaign fund which has just
been published, is interesting, and
should serve to clear the atmosphere
as to the source of the funds dis
harsed by the Republicans in the
las: campaign. y
1t. appears that Charles P.Taft, a
wealthy brother Of the president
elect. gave the greatest single sum
TO the campaign, having contributed
$4,000. Family pride and the loyal
ty of close relationship was doubtless
responsible for this contribution,
which was purely personal one, and
not influenced by favors expected Of
the incoming administration. We
have no doubt that a brother of Mr..
Bryan's, equally well to do and bro
therly, would have contributed a
similar sum to the Democratic fund,
and his right to do so would have
been the same. OF the dreaded
millionaires, the principal contribu-
tors seem to have been Andrew Car
negie and J. p. Morgan, both of
whom are pretty good Americans,
and whose contributions were doubt
less brought about by belief in the
superior ability and statesmanship
of Mr.. Taft, and ample ability to
contribute to what they believed best
for the business interests of the
country. The large contributors other
than these are not confined to any
class or kind Of business, but cover
all fields Of industry. President
Roosevelt himself gave thousand
dollars to the fund, and there were
numerous contributors Of 3 this
amount whose contributions cannot
be ascribed to desire for unwar-
ranted favors. !

MUsKRAT AS TERRAP1N.

a new use has been found for the
muskrat which abounds in the creeks
and streams of this state, and whose
principal use heretofore has been to
supply fur for the making of caps
and gloves and sport for hunters
with small rifles, in the absence of
any other sort of game. According
to the New. York Sun muskrat flesh
