'The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, Oct. 30, 1912. G M. H armas, Editor and Publisher J. W. Ogilvee, Assistant Editor Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, 0., as second class matter. CIRCULATION 2.300. Mr. D. R. Haltiwanger Becomes Deputy Clerk. Mr. D. R. Haltiwanger, who for the past six years has been the associate editor of the Lexington Dispatch, has accepted the position of Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Court under the Hon. Frank W. Shealy, and has already assumed the duties of his new position. Mr. Haltiwanger will not, however, give up his newspaper work altogether. He will still represent his chain of daily papers and will also aid in gathering news for The Dispatch. Mr, Haiti waDger is one of the most reliable and energetic young newspaper men in the State, and has repeatedly refused positions on some of the largest newspapers in the country. During the six years in which he has been connected with this paper our associations have been most pleasant ; and he has our beet wishes. That he is capable of discharging the duties of his new position, goes without saying; * " * ' ?? V?nninooa nnnnon. ana c-nose wno nave uumucw v/?? tions with the clerk's office will find in Mr. Haltiwanger a most pieasiDg and eonrteoos gentlemen. Mr. James W. Ogilvie, who for sixteen years ?ras connected with The Dispatch but who has been with The Horry Herald for six years, come9 back to The Dispatch to fill his old position and the vacancy caused by Mr. Haltiwanger'e resignation. Mr. Ogilvie is, therefore, no stranger to our people. He is a . capable newspaper man as has been evidenced by his former work on the Dispatch. We hope to make The Dispatch a stronger and better paper than ever, and in this we ask the co-operation of our friends. Mr. Ogilvie's family will arrive within the next day or two, and will occupy the Ocrl-y residence, on Main street. G. M. H. Prom the M*yve it will be seen that I have acc p? *-d my old position in the Dispatch . idee. To say I am glad 'e be bftcfc iu the office and among my Lexington friends, bat faintly expresses my feelings. I shall use my best efforts to make the Dispatch a welcome visitor around the fireside of every home in Lexington, and to do this 1 am aware I must b?ve and solicit the assistance of the friends of the paper as well as my individual friends to assist me whenever they can do so by sending the news which may corn# under their observation, either by phone, letter or word of mouth. - Do nbt judge me by past achievements but by future accomplishments is my request. Respectfully, J. W. OGILVIE. The Commission which is at the head of the municipal affairs of Columbia has wisely refused to enter into the pawn broker business and adorn the City Hall with the three bras9 balls, the sign of the pawn shop. The tendency of these times and this generation savors too m ch of a monarchal and monopolistic foim of government, rather than the simple principles of the republican form of government handed down to U9 by the Fathers as a glorious and priceless heritage. If the Commission of Columbia is permitted to invade the rights of the individual and become a competitor in his private business, there is nothing to prevent it from encroaching further upon the rights of the citizen, by going into the dry goods or the grocery, or, for that mat fcer, aDV other line of business. The precedent has been established?the rule adopted, and, in the language of a railroad magnate, "the people be d?n." It is only one by one that the rights.of the people are taken from them. First a sole dealer in an article which has been outlawned as a grave menace to public and private morals; next a Government by Commission; then a proposed pawn broker, and what next? Well might we pause and ask t-bis question. Let the seriously inclined concerning these matters answer the question. "The price of liberty," says some one, "is eternal vigilance," aud it behooves us as individuals and as citizens of a common country to resist any invasion upon (ur rights, no matter how insignificant if mav annpar. with everv instru *? ? J ?x-x , ? lent of protection vouchsafed us by the Constitution of cur country. Death of Berley George. Our community was startled last Friday morning on learning of the sudden death of Mr. Brrlev George, better known among his friends as "Bunch" George, which occurred in the early morning hours near the .Power* house of the LexiDgton Light and Power Co., while on his way home nearby. Mr. George was about 32 years of age and was a life long resident of Lexington, and was connected by birth with some of our best people. The immediate cause of his death is said to have been an attack of acu.e indigestion. The interment was at the George burying ground in the presence of relatives and friends. He is sur vived by a wife and many relatives. Go to the Theatres. This week while everyone is jolly, 'full of fun and out for a good time, visiting the State Fair with its grand i~v.;Kiha anH pn-invin*? the unlimited CAU1U&VO V.**v - J n hospitality of the good people of Columbia, it must not be forgotten that Mr. Montgomery with his able assistants at his moving picture shows this week, especially at the Grand will be found the most popular and pleasing features in vaudeville and musical comedies that will make you laugh and grow fat; while if you do not "take in" the Ideal you will miss the finest moving picture shows you ever witnessed. These exhibitions were provided especially for your benefit this week, and don't come away without going to both shows. Price of admission is 10c, 15c and 25c. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forevei; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by, catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY, & CO, Toledo. Obio.

Prizes for School Improvement To the Editor of the Dispatch: I wish to call attention to the prizes offered by the Sonth Carolina School Improvement Association to the schools mining the most improvement between Nov. 1, 1811 and Der. 20, 1912. $50.00 will be awarded to eat h county, to be divided into three prize* of $25.00, $15.00 and $10.00, which will be given to the three schools which in the opinion of the County Executive Committee shall show the greatest material improvement for the year. After making the county awards the County Superintendent will forward to the President of the School Improvement Association the exhibit and papers of the three winning schools, and the State Executive Committee will award to the best of these schools such other prizes as may be warradted by trie iunas at tne disposal or tne state committee. 4 No school can compete for any of these prizes unless it is a rural school. No town with more than 400 population 9hall be eligible to the contest. Score cards h|ive been adopted to be used in estimating the improvements for the year, and I shall be glad to furnish copies to any school applying for prizes. The score cards should be forwarded with the application and such photographs as may be thought desirable to the County Supt. of Education before Dec. 18, 1912. Prizes will be awarded in checks Dec. 31, 1912. The prizes are to be used for further improvement of schools receiving them. ETHEL A. DREHER, Co. Supervisor, of Rural Schools. Lewis-Richardson, Mr. James R. Richardson, of Lexington, and Miss Lottie Lewis, of Columbia, were quietly but happily married in that city Tuesday morning, October 22nd, 1912, by the Rev. J. P. Knox, pastor of the Associated Reform Presbyterian church. Only a few very intimate' friends of the contracting parties witnessed the ceremony. Mr. Richardson is engaged in the automobile business in this place and is deservldlv popular with a large circ'e of friends, and Miss Lewis was for some time in charge of a department of the telephone company in Columbia. May roses ever bloom along their pathway through life. Yes Paint will be high next year, so much-work has been put-off and more will be. Men don't know that it costs more money to wait than to paint; it costs about 10 per cent to wait, and not over 5 for the extra price. . What is 5? About $2 50 on the average job (30 ?0 square feet); P> gallons Devoe, 15 of average paint, yes 20 of some. Suppose there's plenty of oil next year, won't paint go-down? Yes, a little; there ban't be plenty of oil; the demand settles that. Half the work ot I last vear and this is waiting; so stupid we are. DEVOE The Harmon Drug Co sells it. The Coughs of Children They may not cough today, bat what about tomorjow? Better be prepared for it when it comes. Ask your doctor about keeping Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in the house. Then when the hard cold ar cough first appears you have a doctor's medicine at hand. This cough medicine is especially good for children. No anodynes. No alcohol. Many a child is called dull and stupid when the whole trouble is due to a lazy liver. We firmly believe your own doctor will tell you that an occasional dose of Ayer's Pills, sugar-coated, will do such t children a great deal of good. Ask him. Made by the J. C. AYEB CO.. Lovell. Mass.
