NO TRAMPS IN

"You never saw a cat bathing in

The speaker, noted geologist,
who was in Sumpter recently, smiled

startling statement to Miner
representative.
81 know what am talking
about" he said. "In quest Of
geological truths have travelled the
country over many times. and l have
yet to find tramp among the noun
tains. Tramps avoid mountains as
they avoid soap. Hence, New
Hampshire, Vermont, and the other
mountainous states are singularly
free from petty thieving and all
such troubles as hoboes cause. And
hence, in those states, It ia never
necessary to lock the doors or the
windows. Tramps avoid mountainous
districts beacuse the walking is all
up hill there and because the farms
are few aud far between. A fertile
and flat country, with the roads good
and the farmers close together, suits
the tramp.

DAWSON DRUG CO.'S.
CONFIDENCE IN HYOMEI
Not a Penny Need Be Paid Unless
1t Cures You of Catarrh.

"Use HYomei and be cured OF ca
tarrh," says Dawson Drug Co. When
responsible business house like this
comes out and advertises that HyOmei
will not cost penny unless it does all
that is claimed for it, it shows what
remarkable confidence they have in
TINS scientific medical treatment.
A complete Hyomei outfit consists
of a neat inhaler that can be carried
in the pocket or purse, medicine
dropper and a bottle of HYomei, and
costs but 81.
The inhaler lasts a lifetime, and
when extra bottles of Hyomei are
needed, t2ey can be obtained for Soc
This treatment does away with all
disagreeabIe and dangerous stom ach
dosing. Breathed through the Hy
omei inhaler for few minutes four
times day it impregnates every par
tice of air taken into the air passages
and lungs with germ-killing and
health giving balsams. IN this way it
cures the most chronic and deepseated
catarrhal diseases of the air passages
and respiratory organs.
The user is the sole judge whether
Hyomei is TO be paid for or not. If it
does not help, Dawson Drug Co. will
cheerfully return the money and it

BAD CONVICT is At LARGE
DESPERATE TERRELL COUNTY NEGRO
ESCAPES FROM PENlTENTIARY.
will Goshee Is Reported to Have Been
Seen Near Dawson With Convict Garb
on. Search for Him Unsuccessful.

Considerable excitement was Great
ed in the Midway community, between
Dawson and Rronwood, last Thursday
AFTERNOON by the report that Will
Goshee, a negro desperate who was
sent to the penitentiary from Terrell
county two or three years ago, had
been seen and recognized near there.
Sheriff Christie was notified, and in
company with others went Immediate
ly to the scene and made thorough
search for the fugitive, but without
result. Friday morning negro wo'
man who knew Goshee reported that
she had just seen him in the skirt of
woods where he was said to have been
Thursday afternoon, and upon being
notified the sheriff, accompanied by a
dozen or more citizens, made another
search for him, but with the same re-
suit as before.
Two or three years ago Mr.. j. Il,
Mcleod, section foreman of the Cen
trail railroad, narrowly missed being
assasslnated at his home, three miles
north of Dawson and near where the
negro was seen last week, by GOshee,
who shot at him through his bed room
window one night about l o'clock.
Goshee, who is a desperate scharac
ter, fed heavily armed, and for time
caused somewhat a reign of terror in
the eastern part of the county. He
was finally captured, but not before
being shot while resisting arrest. He
was tried in Dawson, found guilty and
sentenced to a term of nine years in
the penitentiary, being then sent to
convict camp near ValdOsta.
The officers here received notice
several days ago that GOshee escaped
on the 18th inst, and 1t is not all i'm
probable that he has returned to his
old haunts.
He 10 said to have had on his con-
vict suit when seen a few days ago.
GOSHEE IS CAUGHT.
News was received in Dawson Mon
day that Goshee had been captured at
Manor, Ca, and returned to the CAM
at Valdosta.
