RESULTED IN HIS RELEASE.
Former Terrell C0untian Insisted That
the Killing of Cary at WrightsviIIe
Was JustifiabIe.

Mr.. r. T. Kennedy, the former Ter
rell county citizen who was arrested
in Savannah last week for killing
Oscar Cary at Wrightsville in Octo-
Der of last year, has been given his
freedom.
Upon being taken back to johnson
county he was given committal trial
at Wrightsville before Justice of the
Peace L. D. Downs, and special
from there says great deal of inter-
est was manifested in the proceedings
by the public, people from throughout
that section being present to hear the
evidence. Kennedy did not deny the
killing, but said that he was forced to
do the deed in self-defense, and the
line of his defense was to establish the
fact of his Justification. After hear
ing all OF the evidence the court re-
leased the defendant without bond
for his appearance when the grand
jury meets.
Mr.. Kennedy has many relatives
and friends in Terrell county who are
gratifed at the outcome of his Trial on

At this season of the year catarrhal
troubles are very prevalent, and near
ly every person suffers to certain ex-
tent.
Catarrh is actually the result of a
succession of colds and can be easily
prevented if the proper treatment is
followed.
Hyomei is a natural yet scientific
cure for the colds and grip troubles
that lead to catarrh, as we'll as posi-
tive cure for the disease itself.
The balsamic air OF Hyomei breath
ed through the small pocket inhaler
that comes with every inhaler is filed
with germ killing and health giving
qualities that penetrate to the mtnut-
est air cells of the head. throat and
lungs. 1t kills all catarrhal germs,
trees the mucous membrane from pois-
onous microbe, and makes a perfect
and complete cure of catarrh.
The complete outfit costs only 81,
while extra bottles of Hyomei can be
secured for SOC. Dawson Drug Co.
sells Hyomei on the "no cure no pay
plan, and will refund the money if it
fails to give perfect satisfaction. You
take no risk whatever in using Hyo-
mel. 1t is the only remedy sold under
a guarantee of this nature where To-
cal druggist agrees to return the mon
ey if the treatment fails to cure.

The OISPENSARY.

Mr.. EDITOR: Please allow me space
once more to speak few words TO my
fellow citizers of Terrell county, part
ners with myself in the diSpensarY
business. | want to say first OF all that
in 1902 [ drank more whiskey and TOOK
more strychnine and quinine than L
ever did in all my lite. My doctors
said I must take them. But l don t
know maybe so.s Finally | TOLD my
wife that | was done with it all, and L
was. | will further say that in my
case instead of the liquor habit grow
inc on ME it went the other way. 1t
grew of; especially when came
home and started on our dispensarY
kind. One quart bottle put me where
T have not wanted any since In any
shape or form.
But. in common with many others, l
am still bothered no little because OF
the fact that we are engaged In the
business of selling liquor. 1t Goes
seem to me an outrage that the Geor'
ola legislature should pass an act tore
inc men into the rulnOus business
AGAINST their will. OF course the rem
edy is in the hands OF majority OF
the voters of the county, but they are
not likely to kill the goose that lays so
MANY golden eggs every day, / wish
thew would. Since our dispensary
commissioners reported to US that last
wear the .dispensary cleared $4,000
the question he's been continually
ringing in my mind, What else has it
done? lam profoundly impressed that
no tongue can tell. no pen can write
the dark catalogue of evils which have
and which will grow out of the sale of
$50 900 worth of liquor in this county
last year. What curse lt mas
brought and will bring upon lnolv1du-
ais and families.
[ felt constrained by my conscience TO
call the attention of the citizens of the
county to the solemn fact that this BUS
mess is continually doing untold harm
as we'll as making money. Shall we
continue this business until God shall
in His own appointed time and way
omen our eyes to our folly and sin by
some sad dlspensation of His provl-
dencc? God forbid.

"JEB." sTUART's SON CHOSEN
Nominated for Marshal for Eastern
District of Virginia.

The Presidents nomination today of J. e.
b. Stuart to be marshal of the eastern dis
trict of Virginia instead of Morgan Treat
Will be great surprise in Virginia Stuart
Is from Portsmouth and has had an appIi-
cation on file in the Department of Justice
for some time for the position of marshal.
He had the backing of Representative
Slemp and District Attorney Lewis of the
eastern district. Stuart himself saw the
President a few days ago.
The services of Treat as United States
marshal have not been satisfactory to the
Department of Justice for some time and
two days ago the President directed Attor-
ney General Moody to ask for Treats resig-
nation. The letter was written, but before
Treat had time to reply the nomination of
Stuart was sent to the Senate
Stuart's nomination is to be in line wit h
future appointments in the south The
President intends to improve the federal
office holding class there and will pick out
the best men for Office he can find The
fact that Mr.. Stuart was a son of the ia
nous confederate cavalry leader appealed
strongly TO tie President when he had de-
cided that Mr.. Yreat would not be allowed
TO remain in office. So far as the factional
clements in Virginia go the appointment has
no particular significance

STILL MAINTAINS CONFIDENCE.
Nan Patterson Expects to Spend Christ
mas at Home.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, December 21.-Showing un-
mistakable signs of the ordeal through
which she went yesterday. but maintaining
an air of confidence, which has been one of
the strongest arguments in her behalf ever
since her arrest, Miss Patterson went to
court this morning to hear the last Of the
proceedings before the case in which she is
charged with the murder of Young goes to
the jury
Miss Patterson spent the night quietly in
the Tombs and breakfasted at the prison
before being taken over to the court room
The usual crowd, in which were many wo-
men, was on hand waiting for oppor-
tunity to see her. The order of the prison
authorities had prevented the showering of
floral gifts upon her, which have been fea-
lures of some previous trials of similar
ture.
Il will be free today declared Nan Pat
terson this morning, "and l expect to
spend Christmas at home with dear father
and mother
Il am all ready to leave the Tombs this
evening" she told her aged father. ''All
my things are packed up, and the matron
Will send them to me in Washington, so
that after the jury comes in will not have
to go back to the CELL
Such was her confidence that she would
be acquitted that Nan Patterson never con-
sidered the possibility of being convicted.
While Youngs letters to her were being
read in court today Miss Patterson bowed
her head and wept. For the first time since
her trial began she sobbed. AS Miss Pat
terson's sobs reached the jury box several
of the jurymen turned their heads and
looked at her compa ssionately They were
apparently considerably moved by her emo
ton.

THE AIGOBoY SOCIETY.
Sensational Story About Its Work in
Manchuria

ST. PETERSBURG, December 21.-The
Novoe Vremya today published a sensa-
tional story purporting to give inside de-
tails of the "Aigoboy Society,"" organized
among the Chinese by Cinnamon educated
in Japan, which is engaged In stirring up
the population against the Manchu dynasty,
the latter being represented Is responsible
for the present humiliating position of the
empire.
The society is preaching the annihilation
of the foreigners who have gained a foot
hold in fourteen provinces, contending that
this could be brought about by an alliance
with their kindred, the japanese, who have
shown disinterested friendship for the
Chinese.
The Novoe Vremya argues editoriaIIy
that this is evidence that the japanese are
preferring to play the desperate card Of
arousing China, and warns the world of the
danger involved.

ST. PETERSBURG, December 21.-Mili-

.portance to the capture of the North fort

BIG YEAR IN PATENT OFFICE.
Business for Twelve Months, It is Be-
lieved, Has Broken the Record.

The past calendar year has brought the
biggest twelve months business to the pat
ent office Of any year in the history of the
organization, 1t Is estimated by those in
authority The work of making up the
preliminary figures for the annual report
of the commissioner Of patents for the cal
endar year is going on now, and it is un-
derstood that the force of the examiners
division of the office is far behind in its
work. This is the division on which falls
the burden of the labors connected with the
issuance of patents and the examination of
patent rights, and the fact that the division
Is SO far behind at this time of the year is
taken as an indication that the inventors
OF the country have been unusually busy.
Few clerks will be able to secure leave of
aDsehce from the patent Office during the
CHRISTMAS holidays on this account as the
commissioner desires to see the end of the
year business in all of the divisions of
the office before he makes his report.
