NOT GUILTY.
Hot. W.E.Johnson Acquitted ot
the Charge of Murder.
The State.
Bamberg, Dec.?This morning
al 6:30 o'olook the jury brought
in a verdict of not guilty, and the
Rev. W. E. Johnson was a free
man, and in the sight of the law,
innocent of murder in the killing
of W. T. Bellinger last April.
Up to 1 30 o'clock this morning
it anneared that the iurv could
not agree, and it was thought that
the court would have to order a
mistrial. This expectation was
entertained generally, and it was
the opinion of many during the
progress of the trial.
RETIRED AT MIDNIGHT.
Mr. Johnson sat In the court
room until midnight, surrounded
by a group of his Iriends, awaiting
the jury's decision. lie then
retired to the jail for rest. At
5 o'clock the bailiffs were
awakened and told that a verdict
had been agreed on. Messengers
were at once dispatched for Judge
NVatts, the court officers and the
prisoner.
un account 01 me early liour
hut few knew of this, and only a
small crowd assembled.
HE WAS CALM.
Johnson appeared, and from
his calm demeanor, one would
never have suspected that he was
the man who was to be told on
this beautiful"Sabbath morning
whether he was to sutler the penalty
for a crime or wh ether he
was to be returned to his family
a free man. lie stood quietly
and patiently and without show
ing the least emotion listened as
the foreman read the verdict,
"Not guilty." He quietly and
pleasantly shook hands with each
juror then left the court room
and wont to his home.
PREACHED YESTERDAY.
At 11 o'clock today he preach
od to his congregation in the
Bamberg Baptist church.
Thus ends the most notable
trial ever held in this county.
Business was almost suspended
in town and the keenest interest
taken by everyone in the proceedings.

DEAFIVESN CATV NOT IIK CURED
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafnesa,
and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
lntiameu condition or trie mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have n rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the intlamation
can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
whioh is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,

A Sure Cure.
There are Rome things worse
than atale eggs, an<i one of them
is a smart retort which takes
away one's dignity and leaves no
room for answer. Such a fate the
candidate met who, in wooing a
provincial constituency, declared,
in vindication of his devotion to
truth, that he had been thrashed
for telling it when he was a boy.
He must have wished he had
been a millo away when somebody
called out, 4kI guess it's
cured yer, guv'ner !"
