Entered at the Post Office at Lexington,

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;

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

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

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.

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.
