To ARGUE
SMITH CASE
LOCAL ATTORNEYS HAVE BEEN EN-
GAGED To TAKE PART. McC0NNIG0
WILL NOT BE PRESENT
FROM THE JACKSON NEWS

The case of Charles r. Smith,
who at the January term of cir
cult court of Lowndes county
was convicted of the murder of
z. A. Laurent, and sentenced to
serve a life term in the peniten-
tiary, will come up for argument
before the supreme court next
Monday.
1t had been stated that Hon.
K. 7. McConnico, of Nashville,
Tenn, leading counsel for the
prosecution, would be present in
person, but Mr.. McConnico finds
that it viii be impossible for him
to visit jackson on the date set
for the hearing, and has sent a
brief to be submitted to the
court. 1t will be impossible for
either Maj. Belts or Mr.. Sturdi-
want, the two Columbus attor-
neys retained by the prosecution,
to visit jackson, and Assistant
Attorney General Butler will be
the only representative of the
state present when the case
comes up for argument.
The argument for the defense
will be presented by Hon. c. H.
Alexander, of Jackson, and Hon,
S. A. Witherspoon, of Meridian.
Mr.. Alexander, who has been
only recently in the case, is con-
sidered one of the ablest lawyers
in the state, and has had extend
ed experience before the supreme
court. This will be the first
criminal case, however, in which
he has participated for many
years.

NASAL CATARRH
Mayo Drug Co Sells the Great Remedy
that Cured Mrs. karberp.

Here is a very simple yet
wholly sincere statement of a
Michigan woman, who was cured
by using Hyomei-the no cure
no pay remedy for catarrh, asth-
ma, hay fever, Group, coughs
and colds.
"A bad case of catarrh was
cured for me by the use of
Hyomei. The trouble affected
my head, nose and eyes, and was
very annoying and disagreeable,
and the cure from the use of
Hyomei, was very gratifying.
Hyomei has from me a strong
recommend and endorsement. -
Mrs. E. Karberg, 213 Kingsley
ST., Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. 16,
1903.
Thousands of just such letters
are in existence, and thousands
more would be but for the desire
to avoid publicity.
If you have catarrh, bestir
yourself, and drive it out of
your system. Kill the germs.
You can do that easily if you use
Hyomei pronounced High-o-me).

pleasant air, that when inhaled,

tarrhal inflammation, stops

such assessment. Mr.. Johnston
realizes the fact that on account
of partial payments, failure to
enter satisfaction on the records,

coming to Columbus, and his de-
sire to meet the people and ad-

SILVER SERVICE PRESENTED
TO BATTLESHIP MISSISSIPPI
4 BEAUTIFUL SILVER SERVICE CONSISTING OF SxTY-THREE
PIECES PRESENTED TO BGTTLESHIP TUESDAY.
BEAUTIFUL EXERCISES HELD

The presentation of the hand
some silver service to the battle
ship Mississippi took place last
Tuesday at Horn Island under
most pleasant surroundings. Ban
quets, balls and every function
to make the time pleasant was
arranged and carried to success.
Prominent men from all over the
country were present. Among
the Mississippians present were
Gov. Noel, ex-Gov. Longino,
Senator Elect John Sharp Will
liams, Congressman +. J. Bow
ers. and Private John Allen.
Mrs. Lockwood, by whose
energy the silver service mate
rialized made the presentation
speech in well fitting words, to
which Lieutenant Commander
Carmick responded in words that
should forever settle the contro-
versy about the name and picture
Of jefferson Davis which adorns
the silver service. Lieut.. Car
mick said in part:
we have our codes for the de-
termination of what is permissi'
BILE and what is proper in mat
ters like this" he said in the
course of his speech accepting
the silver service on behalf of
the battleship. Our civil codes,
our moral codes, our ethical
codes, and when these fail we
may still resort to the great tri-
bunal of public opinion, which is
50 rarely wrong in the aggregate.
But even when that fails us, we
still have an example of our en-
lightenment, the greatest exam
pie of all time, the example of
our Great Master. When his
enemies sought to entrap him we
are told they brought him a penny
inscribed with the name of Gaze
sar, and they asked whether it
was lawful thus to honor Caesar.
He told them simply render
unto Caesar things that are Cae-
sar's and l say to you all, "ren-
der 10 Jefferson Davis the things
that are his. T."
The applause that followed
shook the theatre until the lieu
teaant-commander, recognizing
that he had struck so deeply into
the heart Of his audience that an
other word would be sacrilege,
bowed and sat down amid a
strom of hand-clapping and
cheers.
