either question for the. Democratic
party. The people of this country
are land grsbbers and when they
once get hold of thing, it makes
no difference how it is obtained,
they are going to swing to it and
they will repudiate any party that
comes along talking academies and
advising to turn it loose.
If the Democratic party has not
learned this lesson from this cleo
ton then it has the poorest leaders
at its head that can possibly be con
ceived of in this or any other coun.
try. The South was responsible for
the nomination of Parker and the
conservative campaign that has been
made with such disastrous results.
II remains to be seen whether it
will still maintain its alliance with
the East or whether there will come
another reorganization of the party
along radical lines and a coalition
OF all the radical elements of all the
parties in the country. The great
vote for Debs, the Socialist candi
date, is straw and it has become a
factor that will have to be reckoned
with in future insthe make up of the
new battle force against the forces
of entrenched privilege in this coun-
try.
Now that Roosevelt has been
elected in his own right and by such
overwhelming odds he will be justi-
fed in taking things into his own
hands and running the old machine
in his own way. If any body does
not think he will do it, they have a
very FAINT conception of the man.
He will bring the leaders of the Re-
publican party to their knees and
will swing the party around his head
like small boy with red apple
tied to a string. He will smash pre-
cedents, dlsappoint hopes and divide
the Republican party like the Dem
ocracy was divided in 1896. The
great majority of Republicans in the
next House will be unwieldy and
when the whip pops for them all to
get into line there is going to he
trouble, The Republican party is
in line tor awhole passed. of Trouble
in the next two years and it is the
opportunity for the Democrats to
take their bearings and take advan.
tage of every mistake made by the
enemy. 1t will be the formative
period of the next campaign and my
prediction is that it will trend toward
radicalism on the part of the Dem

whose case there is unusual interest
is lobe Thornton, the mulatto negro
who brutally assaulted Miss Dismuke,
lady residing near Weston one night
in January. Thornton freely confess
ed the crime to the arresttng officers
and related all the horrible details of
his devilish deed. Since the crime was
committed his poor victim has become
demented and has been sCnt TO the
insane asylum. She fully identified
Thornton at the time and told the Off
GERS who her assailant was. This
evidence, together with the negroes
confession, Will be sufficient evidence
to convict him, it is believed.
Owing to the feeling existing in
Webster county against all three of
the prisoners a military guard may
protect them during their trials.

.HYOMEI A RECORD BREAKER
Novel Method of Curing Catarrh. Sold on
Approval by Dawson Drug Co.

The popularity and remarkable sales
of Hyomei have broken all records.
In nearly every city and town in the
country this guaranteed cure for ca
tarrh has given most astonishing re-
suits.
The leading druggists are so enthnsi-
astic over the remarkable percentage
of cures following the use of HyOmei
that with hardly an exception they
advertise to their customers that Hy-
omei will be sold with the understand
ing that it costs nothing unless it
cures.
In Dawson the Dawson Drug Co. are
endorsing 1T and guarantee to refund
the money unless Hyonei cures ca
tarrh. They have sold great many
Hyomei outfits, and today no other
treatment for the cure of catarrh has
"a many friends in Dawson and vicini-
ty as Hyomei.
1t is a scientific yet common sense
method of treating and curing this too
common disease. 1t sends by direct
inhalation to every cell OF the air pas
sages in the head, throat and lungs a
balsamic air that destroys all catarrh-
al germs, purities the blood with addi-
tional ozone and makes complete and
lasting cure of any catarrhal trouble.
The complete outfit costs but 81, and
includes an inhaler, medicine dropDer
and sufficient Hyomei for several
weeks treatment.

COUNTY RECEIVES CONVICTS
TEN BIG STRAPPING FELLOWS ADDED
TO THE ROAD GANG,
Came in Two Squads, One of Which Was
Delayed at Triton by an Accident.
Their Names and Sentences.

The ten felony convicts Terrell
county decided to take from the state
under the new penitentiary law have
arrived and are at work on the roads
of the county. Terrell was entitled to
seventeen convicts, but took only ten
of the number.
The convicts assigned to this county
we're located at Midtown in, Berrien
county, and at Blakelv, in Early county,
and Deputy Sheriff SIade and Mr..
Mathews, one of the county guards,
left Thursday for these places to get
the prisoners. Mr.. Slade returned
from Blakely Friday with a squad of
FIVE, but Mr.. Mathews did not get
back with the road builders from Mill
town until Saturday, being delayed at
Triton by wreck. Following are the
names of the-convicts, the counties
they are from and the time for which
they were sentenced: Ben Canning,
larceny, Early county, five years; o.
car Hall, burglary, Fulton county, five
years; Ben Dennis, attempt to murder,
Macon county, three years; Aleck
Webb, burglary, Chattahoochee cOun-
ty, five years; Joe Washington, burgla-
ry, Dodge county, hYe years; George
Shepherd, robbery, Dooly county, five
years; Joe Williams, arson, Houston
county, five years; John Carson, assault
to murder, Marion county, five years;
John Anderson, assault to murder,
Coffee county, five years; Charlie
Wade, manslaughter, Thomas county,
five years.
There were already nine misdemean-
or convicts at work on the roads, and
the state felons run the number up to
nineteen.
The new convicts are apparently a
strong, muscular gang, who will find
little difficulty in handling picks,
spades and shovels, and the commits
sioners think that with this reinforce
ment to the gang they will soon be
able to make the roads credit to the
county.

JURY COULD NOT DECIDE
UNCERTAIN WHETHER REVILLE COM.
MlTTED SUICIDE OR WAS KILLED.
Autopsy Showed That Ball in His Brain
Was Similar to That of His Own
Pistol. Lula Robinson Released.


The coroner's jury was unable to de-
eide whether w. e, Revllle, the
strange white man whose body was
found south of Herod several days
ago, committed suicide or was
murdered.
The jury made it's verdict Wednes.
day afternoon, and it was to the effect
that it was not known whether Reyille
shot himself or was murdered. After
the verdict was announced the negress,
Lula Robinson, who was held under
the suspicion that she knew more
about the affair than she would tell,
was released from jail by Sheriff
Christie.
When Reville's remains reached
Sylvester, his home, friends and rel
atiyes of the deceased had an autopsy
held, and the head was opened and the
bullet taken from the brain By DR.. Y.
J. Bridges. 1t was found to be 81
calibre ball and correspondent to the
bal Reville's pistol carried, which
supports the suicide theory. Ia a letter
to Coroner Lewis, however, DR.. Bridg-
es says that he found a fracture of the
skull, and that he thinks from the con
dition of the brain Reville was dead
when shot in the head. DR.. Bridges
also writes that Reville left home with
the idea that he would have trouble
with another party about the woman.
The general opinion is that Reville
committed suicide, though there are
some who think that he was fOully
dealt with.
