County Superintendent C. W. Massey,
of Durham, writes to State Superintend-
ent Joyner as follows concerning the prog
ress of public education in Durham
county:
This has not been a summer of picnics
and school rallies with us. We did that
work last year and the years preceding
Since July 1st, 1903 we have quietly and
with very little opposition, consolidated

Flossie was as guilty as Goodwin and that
the matter ought to be dropped.
Goodwin in his testimony, said that
''the Devil got into me- when the al
fair occurred and told of his previous mis-.
behavior with the child. He was given
a good character by witnesses, though
one stated that there were reports and
talk about his conduct towards women
The girl Flossie was given good charac-
ter by witnesses asked about this, Good
win alone testifying as to damaging re
ports he had heard and to her conduct
with her. Her father, c. H. Peasants,
was given a bad character with regard
truthfuness. but it was stated that he
was idiotic at times and had fits. Mrs
Peasants was also given bad character
up to the time of her marriage, but it
was said to be good since that time
The witnesses for the defense in their
evidence mainly testified to damaging ad-
missions made by the girla mother in
the presence of the girl, not denied by
her. and to certain physical matters tend
ing to show that the charge of criminal
assault was false. For the prosecution
the testimony brought out was that near
ly every witness for the defense was relat-
ed to Goodwin that he was the second
cousin of the girl, that he had declared
that he was innocent as the angels in
heaven of having had anything to do with
the girl to number and had then tes-
titled that he had often been intimate
with her, these declarations clashing The
evidence of the two principals in the affair
clashed only as to force being used on the
eleventh of July, and while Flossie sWore
that Goodwin had never misbehaved with
her previously to this time, Goodwin swOre
that he had been so on some eight or ten
occasions.
The chief witnesses besides Goodwin and
the girl were for the prosecution Mr.. l..
d. Castleberry and the girls father, c.
H. Peasants, the latter declaring the
charge true, while J. H. Hurst, half
brother of Goodwin and Adolphus Good
win, the defendants son, were the main
witnesses for the defense. The evidence
of the others was cumulative or for the
purpose of showing characters good or
bad
After the morning session a recess OF an
hour was taken till half past three. AT
a quarter to six argument began, Mr.. B
| c. Bcckwith speaking first for the prosecu
tion and most severely arragnlng Good
win as a veteran sinner, enc who should
be shut out from preying upon young
| girls. MIR. S. G. Ryan made strong
| speech in Goodwin's behalf, though he
| said he had no excuse to offer for his sad
misconduct with the girl. He declared
that the charge of rape was nonsense and
could not hold, that the girl was reared
in vicious home and was not herself tc
blame.
MrtW B. Jones most ably closed fol-
the State and painted In strong term:
Goodwin's conduct and the truth of the
girls story, urging that Goodwin was
guilty as every evidence showed ant
should be punished for his crime.

HVomei The Latest Scientific Discovery
For The Cure Of Oatarrh.

The discovery of Hyomei has
wrought a wonderful change in the
treatment of catarrh.
Prior to three years ago the medi-
zines ordinarily employed in the cure
of this disease were nauseating drugs
and worthless tonics. In some in
stances they benefited, but the inn
provement was not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages of the throat and head bal
samic air that goes to the minutest
cells, effectually killing all germs and
microbes of catarrh. 1t enters the
blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs in the blood, and restores
health TO the whole system. Many as
tonishing testimonials have been re-
ceived from those who have been cur
ed by Hyomei.
N. g. Durham, % Wellington St.,
Boston, Mass, writes:- have suf-
fered from catarrh for a number of
years. / have tried Hyomei, and
found it the only cure for this disease
/ ever used"
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters is the fact
that Feldmeyer Bros. have so much
faith in Hyomei that they sell every
package under positive guarantee to
refund the money if it does not cure.
Now is the time to begin the use
of Hyomei.
