Ogilvie, Formerly of Dispatch Force, Died Suddenly Sunday Morning of Heart Failure. The news of the sadden death of JamesW. Ogilvie flew over Lexington Sunday morning as on the wings of wind, and wherever it touched it left sorrow at his untimely death and sympathy for the bereft ones. He had been in declining health for several years but his death was unexpected so soon, and it came as a % shock to the people of Lexington and throughout the county. His death was caused so suddenly by heart failure. Mr. Ogilvie was a sprightly newspaper writer and an all-round printer and had for a number of years at intervals been employed by the Dispatch. About ten years ago he left the Dispatch going to Conway where he worked on the Horry Herald until last fall, when he returned here to lake up the same position he had filled a long time ago. About a month ago his condition became such that he was forced to quit work and has Deen confined to his bed since. James Ogilvie was a man and to know him was to esteem him. 'He was a man of even temperaments and those who knew him be9fc most loved to contemplate him. He was born and reared in Columbia, later going to Newberry, and from there to Conway, and from Conway to Lexington, re' moving to Conway about ten years ago. He was sixty years of age and was well known by the newspaper menfthroughnofc the state. Mr. Ogilvie is survived by his wife, nee Miss Emma Long, of Newberry; three daughters, Mrs. Foote, of Norfolk, -Va*; Mrs. McOord, of Conway; Miss Elizabeth Ogilvie, tatf this place and two sons, Mayo, of Abbeville, and Daggett, of Conway. Mrs. Ogilvie and daughter, left on the 6 o'clock train with the remains Sunday afternoon for Conway where thqy will be interred. There is significance of rain in Paris. Jack Johnson has arriyed. It is luck for the lobby investigating committee that Col. Mulhall lost his JW. "The new slit skirt' fits close," says a New York woman, "and reveals the correct form that natnre produced."

A man's son is more valuable to him than all the opulence of the universe, and he is enjoined by the laws of the land to educate, maintain and protect his child. When a father votes for the Dispensary he sanctions the legalization of the sale of liquor, and makes it easy for his son to get a drink, and if his son is not a drunkard, ho wilt not be apprehended from a -drunkaid's grave by his father's vote. The son is the future hope of the -country. He must 90on take his place as a citizen. Can the father afford to provide the means to benumb his son's conscience, impair his mind, 9tifle every noble impulse, totally un ;t himself for his life work, destroy hi9 health <and finally his life? A minister of the gospel cannot consistently vote for the Dispensary. He should make of himself an active, illuminating example. This is a most vital question before the people of Lexington county just now and should be given careful consideration. On the other hand, people who nse intoxicating liquors are impelled to pass through our towns going to Columbia to shop, and, it being a much larger town, they spend their money more friviou9ly than they would if they stopped in some town in the county*. This is copiously aiding another county and town when part of the money could be kept at home. It is as easy to buy whiskey in Columbia as it would be in Lexington. We are now furnishing a back country to Columbia. What's the solution? DOCTORS WOULD PERISH The subscriber who is in arrears two whole years on his county paper and throws it back in the postoffice marked "refused" needs absolutely nothing for his nerve. When doctors find it necessary to make a livelihood ministering nerve tonic to such inconsistent and ingrateful persons, they will soon perish. Don't be a knocker. Hide your little hammer and speak well of others, no matter how small you may know yourself to be. When a stranger drops in jolly him. Tell him thi9 is tne greatest town on earth?and it is. Do not discourage him by speaking ill of your neighbors. There's no end of fan minding your own business. It makes other people like you. Nobody gets stuck on a kncuker. THE COUNTY FAIR. There is no association of the people of a county that paralels the county fair. When "the sere and yellow leaf" sets in the farmers and the people generally come together to exhibit to each other the material benefit they have derived from experiments during the past year with new recipes | and methods in domestic and agricultural pursuits, which i9 very instructive to the constituency of the association. Besides being instructive the I county fair is a great source of amusement for pleasure and curiosity seekers. Old acquaintances are renewed and new ones formed. . New methods in hog, sheep, cattle, goat, stock and poultry raising, fancy and needle work, etc, etc., in fact, everything that tends to enlighten the people on vital topics exhibited. The seventeenth annual fair of the -! Lexington County Fair Association, of which Mr. M. D. Harman is secretary, promises to be the best in the history of the association. -Under the j able direction of the officers in charge there is no reason why the fair may not be conducted so as to enhance in i interest this year. The fair was splen- , did last year, but plans and arrange* * 11 A 1 ! I merits are oeing set iortn to maae it still better this year. There should be something put 011 exhibition that would please the taste of eyeryone. ! This the management is making strenuous efforts to have done. These gentlemen will be wise and discreet in this phase of the fair. The greatest, the grandest, the most potent factor of a county is its schools. Some county fairs have an ? educational day set apart in which eyery school in the county takes an active part in interesting sight-seers j and visitors. There is no instrumentality more helpful to the welfare and progress of ' a county, no mark that portrays material progress more than the county fair. It is a clearing house for the year's agricultural progress of * the county. It harmonizes all endeavors and promotes zeal; it' encourages friendly rivalry and rewards splendid accomplishment; it offers a gala day at the end of each year's work and affiliates laudable relationship between the town and county. Lexington county has an opportunity to hold a most interesting fair this year. She has been fortunate in this enterprise and will improve in 1913.

A SURE REMEDY FOR LAZY LIVER Go to Harmon Drug Co. for this Safe, Sellable Bemedy and Get 7our Money Back if it Fails There are very few remedies that gain the confidence of druggists as Dodson's Liver Tone does. Harm an Drug Co. sells it and backs up the sale of every bottle with the money back guarantee that the price will be refunded if it fails to give complete satisfaction. Dodson's Liver Tone costs 50 cents a bottle. It is the safest and best remedy for torpid liver, constipation, biliousness, etc., that has ever been sold in this city. It takes the place of dangerous calomel and does tot lay you up as a dose of colomel often doe9. A bottle in the house is as good as fifty cents in the bank. If you or your family need a liver tonic you have the medicine ready. If it fails you get your money back. Be sure you get Dodson's Liver Tone when you ask for it. JThere are imita tions of it that may disappoint you. adv. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA County of Lexington. By Geo. S. Drafts, Esq., Probate Judge. Whereas, P. J.
