VETERAN PRINTER
T PASSES AWAY
James W. 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."
No kick forthcoming among our sex.
The value of your home, the rental
of yonr property, the price of lots
?all are based on the success of our
business men. Patronize your home
merchants and especially those that
advertise in The Dispatch.
DISPENSARY.
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.

Swarthmore, Pa.
Baltimore, Md.?"My troubles began
with the loss ot a child, ana l had hemorrhages
for four months. The doctors
said an operation was necessary, but I
dreaded it and decided to try Lydia E.

medicine has made me a well woman and
I feel strong and do my own'work."?

| Since we guarantee that all testimol

not fair to suppose that if Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has the virtue
to help these women it will help any
other woman who is suffering in a like
manner ?

Hints For a Bright Girl. ,
An exchange has suggested fifteen
things-which every girl can learn be- '
fore she is fifteen. The "accomplishments"'are
within every girl's reach:
Never fuss or fret or fidget.
Never keep anybody waiting.
Shut the door, and shut it softly.
Have an hour for rising, and rise.
Always know where your things are.
Learn to make bread, as well as i
cake.
Keep your own ro>m in tasteful
order. !
Never come to breakfast without a
collar.
Never go about with your shoe s unbuttoned.
1
Never let a button stay off twenty- (
four hours. i
Speak clearly eno ugh for everybody
to understand.
Be patient with the little ones, a9
you wish your mother to be with
you. !
Never let a day pass without doing
something to make somebody comfortable.
The girl who has thoroughly learned
all this might be called a mistress of <
arts.
