Love closed tbe fair grounds at the usual hour on Friday and the payment of premiums began promptly. The exhibitors seemed to be in epecia ly good humor, on accont of " the more liberal premium awards offered this year, and all declared that tkey would come again next year. Of the $10,000 offered in premium?, about $9,000 were actually awarded, which shows how much i more complete were tbe departments this year. "The Society," said Mr. Love, "is glad to release this premium money, as tbe organization's principal ol ject is to encourage exhibitors. Lexington county carried away as usual, a hansome sum of the proceeds. Oae of our farmers received $123, another $95* and the sum total distributed to cur people amonnted to considerable. A neat 6um has been left over, however, which, together with what remained of last year's receipts, would form an encouraging nucleus with which to meet the expense of getting into new grounds and buildings next year. Mr. Love was not able to give exact II^UICO SB l>u 1UD H/kBjl Bticiiviaubo av J the fair this year, bat s rough estimate showed 25,000. The fair was a grand success in every way and it is the determination of the association and officers to make it still greater next year. Too much praise cannot be given to the people of Colombia for the courtesy and hospitality shown to 1 visitors at the fair. Everybody seemed to have a jolly good time and went away well pleased with their trip. The attractions were of a higher clasp, more varied and better in every respect than any previous year. Main street was lined with shows from the post office to the state bouse which afforded no small amount of amusement to the crowd of visitors. Every night during the week there was a good performance at the Opera bouse. Thursday night ihe State Ball came cff, and was a success. Friday uight was the grand Oarnival parade, which was greatly enjoyed. Most of the crowd remained over Saturday to see Barnum <k Bailee's great circus 8D<1 it is claimed that , there were 15.000 people present at the afternoon performance. It was a solid week of merriment and fan, thoroughly ei joyed by the 20,000 visitors in Colombia. The Lexington Dispatch vouches for the Tillman jury as follows: "Twelve true, loyal aDd fair minded citizens of Lexington county, whose character for truthfulness and integrity is above reproach. ' But who will vouch for the Dispatch??Newberry Obaeiver.

Let the Observer, and those of his kind who think they have all the ubrain and intelligence" of the State look after the jaries of their own counties and they will have their hands full. We can sweap before our own doors. Let others do likewise. b TIHT?TTII I IIH1MII IM? II Mr. James W. Ogilvie, after having been associated with us for over fourteen years in the mechanical and editorial departments of the Dispatch office, has moved to Conway, Horry county, where be will assist in the publication of a new paper at that place, "The Field." It will be edited by J. Henry Kice, Esq, well known iD this State as an able writer. Mr. Ogiivie will bave the foremanship of the office. His thorough knowledge of the general newspaper and j >b work well qualifies him for the position, and we feel satisfied that his services will be appreciated by his employers and the people of Horry county. We regret to lose his assistance in the cffice and no doubt the readers of the Dispatch will miss his crisp and pungent editorials. Mr. Ogilvie himself regretted to leave Lexington, for during his stay with us he has made many friends throughout the county and endeared himself to our citizens, but having a desire to return to bis cli home, among friends and relatives there, he decided to accept a position with this new paper. We wish him success and prosperity. We feel that we have lost a valuable maD, still it is our aim and pur* TN' I t- L - . I I pose to Keep tne uispatca up 10 luai high standard it has attained and claimed for itself as beiDg one of tbe best county papers in the State. In the State elections yesterday Kentucky re elected Governor Backham; Virginia shows up well for democracy, making a pretty clean sweep; Pennsylvania stays republican; New Jersey is in the same column: Massachusetts, of course, holds the fort for republicanism. Things seem doubtful in Colorado. It is claimed that Maryland wiil join the democ? racy. Rhode Island stays democratic. Mississippi made a clean sweep for democracy. The republicans in Ohio broke the record and they hold tbe fort by large majorities. Tom Johnson was not in it. Unexpectedly, though with the excellent management of Chas. F. Murphy, the leader of Tammany, with nearly all the newspapers and the ministers practically against them, George B. McCleLn, was yesterday elected Mayor of Greater New York over Seth Low, present i Mayor, by 70,000 plurality. Mc- j Clelland is quoted as saying, this victory should encourage and unite all democrats for the Presidential contest in 1904. In tbe State elections of Kentuckey and Tennessee yesterday several prominent men were killed. Some on account of politics others old feuds. Both States went Democratic. On Thursday Mr. F. M. Burr, representing the Second Assistant Postmaster General was here conferring with Postmaster Leaphart regarding the letting of contracts for the various Star routes in this county. Heretofore these routes were let to speculators, who afterwards would sub let to carriers. By the present system this service is brought directly within the reach of each individual carrier, and they alone are allowed to bid, and must reside on or near the route. Mr. Burr called to see us in reference to the above matter. He is a very pleasant gentlemen, and from him we learned that it was the purpose of the department to give our people the very best service possible. His idea was that sooner rkT later manv r?f (ha Tt P rnn(aa would necessarily be discontinued aDd tbe old Star route system with postcfficeB and free delivery akrng the routes would be adopted. Iu our next issue we will give a list of the various routes in the county with the necessary information for those wishing to bid. Free to Our Readers. Botanic Blood Balm for the Blood.

ROOF. ;ljemKrapicwi ^ * \ OUSMAN ?Pe-ru-na is e. a TOXIC is a medicine that gives ton? to some part of the system. There are different kinds of tonics, but the tonic most needed in this country, where catarrh is so prevalent, is a tonic that operates on the mucous membranes. Pertma is a tonic to the mucous membranes of the whole body. It gives tone to the capillary circ ilation which con- j atitutes these delicate membranes. Peruna is a speciilc in its operation upon the mucous membrane. It is a tonic that strikes at the root of all catarrhal affections. It gives tone to the minute blood vessels and the terminal nerve fibres. Catarrh cannot exist long where Peruna is used intelligently. Peruna seeks out catarrh in all the hidden parts of the body. Paul Landrum writing from Atlanta, Ga., says: '"In January last I began the use of your Peruna and Manalin for what was termed organic heart trouble. At that time I could scarcely walk to my place of business without stopping to rest and on arrival felt completely exhausted. Had severe pains in my heart and general dizziness. After using the first bottle of Peruna I began to improve and today I feel that I am a sound man and I work fourteen hours a day without any bad feeling."?Paul Landrum. A. M. Ikerd, an employee of the C. B. <fc Q. R. It., West Burlington,la., writes: "I had catarrh of the stomach and small intestines for a number of years. I went to a number of doctors and got no relief. Finally one of my doctors sent me to Chicago and I met the same fate. They said they could do nothing for me, that I had cancer of the stomach. | and there was no cure. I almost thought the same, for my breath was something awful. I could haraly stand it, it was so offensive. I could not eat anything without great misery, and I gradually grew worse. "i'inally I got <->ne of your books, and concluded I would try Peruna, and thank ' God, I found a relief Hiia s cure for that dreadful disease. I took /Ivc bottles of Peruna and two of Manalin, and I now feel like a new man. There is nothing better than Peruna, and I keep a bottle in my house all the time."?A. M. Ikerd. p If you do not derive prompt and satis, factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Ilartman, giving a full statement of your case and ho will f be pleased to give you his valuable ad? vice gratis.
