BAGWELL, Pres., 196 Peachtree St., Atlanta, Ga. THAW CASE MAY BE TRANSFERRED Both Jerome and Defend ants Counsel Confident. PISTOL CARRYING GOT KNOCKOUT BLOW NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—(Special)— Although the date set for the begin nlug of the second Thaw trial Is now but a little more than a week dis taut, it Is considered Improbable that the famous murder case will again be aired In this county. It is more than likely that Thaw's counsel will next week make an application for a change of venue on the grounds of prejudice and the Impossibility of se curing a qualified jury for many weeks. It Is thought tnat the wide spread attention attracted to the first trial and the full publication of the testimony in the newspapers has made every intelligent person familiar with the case. Jerome Anxious to Convlet District Attorney Jerome, however will make a determined opposition to any such application. Mr. Jerome has set his heart upon securing the con viction of Thaw, arid will leave no le gal stone unturned in his efforts to accomplish that end. It Is an open secret, too, that the district attorney is much more confident of success than he was at the first trial. Much new and important evidence is said to be In possession of the district torney's ofllce, and the defense will likely be treated to several surprises of considerable magnitude that may nullify the plans of Thaw's attor neys. But If Mr. Jerome is confident of securing a conviction, Harry Thaw Is none the less confident of acquittal. Already he and his devoted wife are making plans for the future, when the prisoner, for the last time, shall cross the “bridge of 3lghs" to liber ty. Thaws Plan Trip Abroad Unless she Is a sublime actress, hiding her fears behind a mask of joy, Mrs. Evelyn Thaw also shares this faith. Within the last few weeks she has made many trips to her mod iste preparing a costume to be worn when she and her husband leave their projected long trip abroad. Their plans contemplate sailing for Eu rope Immediately after the expected verdict of acquittal has been render ed. It will be their second honey moon, and both aro looking forward to It as a period of supreme Joy, In which they will be with each other and away from malicious enemies and too officious friends.

Dodson’s Pharmacy Invite all who suffer from any form of catarrhal trouble to get a Hyomet outfit from them with their absolute guarantee that if it does not give perfect satis faction, the money will be refunded upon request. There Is no other treatment for catarrh that In any way resembles Hyomei, none that gives such quick curative results and lasting satisfac tion, no medicine that can take its place, none that can be sold on a guarantee like this, to refund the money unless it cures. Catarrh is a germ disease and can be cured only by breathing Hyomei, so that the most remote air cells In the nose, throat and lungs are reach ed by Its antiseptic healing powers. In this way all catarrhal germs are killed, the irritated mucous membrane Is healed and catarrh is driven from the system. This wonderful medicated air treat ment does not drug and derange the stomach, but Is breathed through a little pocket Inhaler that goes with every dollar outfit. The unusual way in which Dodson's Pharmacy sell Hyomei attests their confidence In the remedy. 2813-5 Alabama’s Drastic Statute on Subject. MONTGOMERY, ALA., Nov. 23.— (Special)—The John anti-pistol bill, the most far-reaching piece of legisla tion ever directed at the pistol toting habit In Alabama, was passed yes terday afternoon In the Senate by an overwhelming vote and will become a law with the approval of the Gov ernor. Under the operation of the bill, the gunsmith’s window, with Its pistols, dirks and knives, will become a thing of the past. The bill not only makes the carrying of a pistol unlawful, but it makes It against the law to even sell a pistol with a barrel less than twenty-four Inches long. The Black Belt Senators as a rule supported the bill gladly. It will preevnt the carrying of a pistol, either by a white man or by a negro. The pistol evil In the Black Belt has not grown solely out of the concealed weapon. The weapons that have been car ried openly have In late years caused as much bloodshed as those that have been secretly carried. The complaint In the Black Belt In recent years has been that every negro has his shiny pistol which he carries about openly as he goes about, and so carrying it lie violates no law. Under the new law be is not only forbidden from carrying a pistol In that way, but he Is forbidden from buying it. Moreover, the white mer chant is forbidden from selling It to him. JOYNERS * JOYNER’S Sweeping Prohibition The bill bears particularly upon the sale or carrying of a pistol, but it deals also with the sale or carry ing of other deadly weapons. The title of the bill Is: “To prohibit the sale or barter, or having In possession of small dead ly weapons, such as small pistols, bowle knives, dirks, brass knucks, and slung shots.” The point was made In the dis cussion that Alabama was looking to the Legislature and hoping for some thing that would reduce bloodshed In the stat.e. So the John bill, which held out the hope, encountered but slight opposition In the Senate. Discussion of Dill MR. WILLETT HAS SLIGHT STROKE OF PARALYSIS Arm Affected By Severe Stroke. Mr. A. A. Willett is ill at his home here os the result of a slight stroke of paralysis received a day or two since. His right arm Is rendered use less for the time, while his right limb Is likewise affected. Mr. Willett is one of Sumter’s oldest citizens, and among the most esteemed as well, and despite his ninety or more years friends hope for his rapid recovery. As soon as the bill came up Sena tor Merritt took the floor In Us sup port. It was In his opinion a merit orious measure. The people of Alabama, he said, were looking to the Legislature and praying for relief from the pistol to- ter. It was expected of the Legisla ture that It would provide some legis lation on that great subject. He be lieved firmly that the bill would pre vent the carrying of concealed wea pons, and if It did that the Senate of Alabama should certainly pass It. The pistol bill was not exactly what he wanted, but Senator Hinson said he would take It as being the best he could get. It would do at least one thing—prevent negroes from go ing about the country and flaunting dangerous pistols without violating the law. The Black Belt, he said, was not suffering so much from concealed pis tols as it was the pistols which were not concealed. The negro had learned that he was violating the law If he concealed his pistol, so he was accustomed to strap It on the outside and thus armed go out and look for his enemy. Senator Hanner spoke against the measure. Only three votes were cast against the bill on its final passage. AS OTHERS THIXK Everyone In Americas Has a Right to His Own Opinion. While everyone has a right to his own opinion, yet It Is wise to always consider what others think and profit by their experience. Nothing makes life so miserable, or interferes so widely with the useful ness of the average American, as in digestion. and It Is well for us to give fair consideration to what others think about this remarkable affliction.
