school house on Wednesday, Aug. 20.
The occasion will ' be featured this

good "speeches, and a barbecue dinner.
In the evening a popular play entitled
"The Bride and Groom*' will be presented
by local talent in the school
auditorium. Light refreshments of all
kinds will be served by the ladies.
The Oak Grove fair is the oldest
community fair in Lexington county.
Located in the rich fertile truck "section,
lying midway between Lexington
and Columbiia, the exhibits are always
of a very high character. Everything
is shown that can be produced
out of the soil by progressive farmers,
together with magnificent herds of
cattle, mules, horses, sheep, goats,
hogs, and farming implements. The
ladies of the community also take

everything- that is made in the home
and at no fair is the handiwork of
woman shown to better effect than at
i
the Oak Grove fair.
Oak Grove fair will be in the big
contest for first place at the county
fair in October, and it goes without
saying that the people of that community
will have a most creditable exhibition
at their annual fair next
Wednesdav.

CALOMEL DYNAMITES j
A SLUGGISH LIVER |
Crashes Into Sour Hilc, Making You
Sick and You I.<>></ a Day's
Work.
Calomel salivates.' It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish
liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated
and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone for a few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
' |
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful j
and if it doesn't start your liver and |
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get
your money.
If you take calomel today you'll he
sick and nauseated tomorrow: besirlps
it mav .salivate vou. while if VOU 1
take Dodson's Liver Tone you will
wake up feeling- great, full of ambition
and ready for work or play. It's
harmless, pleasant and safe to give to
children; they like it.

Y. M. C. A. REPORTS
OX WAR FINANCE
Ot' $125,262,859 Received in Two
Years, $97,817,085 Was Expended
in War Work.
New York.?The national war work
finance committee of the Young Men's
C?%ristian Association reports that of
the ?125,262.859 received by it between
April 26, 1917, and March 31,
1919, $97,817,005 was expended, leav
ing a balance estimated to oe sumcieni
to carry on the work here and in other
countries until December 31. Slightly
more than 2 per cent, of the total
funds contributed by the American
public was expended for religious purposes
here and overseas, while approximately
80 per cent, was devoted
to the* purchase, transportation and
distribution of canteen supplies and j
to entertainments, education and ath- I
letics.
Besides free athletic supplies, the j
association distributed overseas $36,- I
832,449 worth of merchandise, about
5 per cent, being- given to the soldiers
free, not including overseas Christmas
gifts and entertainment worth $651,963.
More than $30,000,000 was spent,
in the home camps, raore than $43,000,000
with the American expeditionary
force, and $14,409,175 with the
I allied armies and war prisoners.
The association lost $1,478,0S4 in j
the operation of army post exchanges j
and canteens, and because of depre- i
ciation of French and English cur-j
rency values the conversion of the j
overseas figures at market rates re- J
suited in a book loss of $2,432,089. j
Three war work campaigns for funds !
obtained $123,254,052 from the pub- '
lie, and this amount was augmented |
by money from other sources.

apparently in the best of health and
spirits when he returned to his home.
Late in the night he was suddenly
stricken and. died before medical aid
could reach him*
Fred Weed was a son of Mr. Frank !
Weed and was 37 years of age. He [
was deservedly popular and his sudden
death has caused a pall of sorrow

church cemetery. j
THE RUSSIAN MASSES
AND BOLSHEVISM
New York.?That the Russian
masses are slowly but surely awakening:
to the fact that bolshevism is an
autocracy of revenge, hate and ignorance
more oppressive and cruel than
any which they suffered in the past,
was asserted by Roger C. Tredwell of J
the United States consular service, in j
a discussion of Russian affairs before !
the Russian Economic League here, j
Mr. Tredwell was for six months a J
prisoner of the Bolshevist government j
and arrived in this city a few days I
ago.
Mr. Tredwell said one of the great
troubles of the Bolsheviki was that
they did not work. They were paid
by the State and argued that so long
as they got the money it would be
foolish to Work. He told of alleged
Bolsheviki atrocities, and said the
Bolsheviki war not only against the
bourgeoisie, but also against the poor
peasants. He said he himself had
seen Red Guards robbing poor peasant
women of little sacks of flour that
they were trying to take to their
Wliero Husbands Wear W'cditlng
Rings.
The women in Brazil have not equal
suf'rage, hut they have an equality
with the men of their country which

The women in Brazil unanimously are J
of^the opinion that this is about the .
last word in equality.
