VOLUME 14. CEDARTOWN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH ‘29, 1900. NUMBER 10. MRS. BREWER RECOMMENDS FERUNA FOR GRIP AND FEMALE CATARRH- PEOPIiE coming together. —w- * The Home of Mrs. Lizzie M. Brewer at Westerly, R. I. In a letter to Dr. Hartman concerning the merits of Pe-ru-na, Mrs. Brewer writes, among other things: Westerly, R. I. u Dear Dr. Hartman—I find Pe-ru-na a sure cure for all catarrhal affections so common in this part of the country. It cures a cold at once. There is no cough medicine that can at all equal Pe-ru-na. As for la grippe, there is no other rem edy that can at all compare with Pe- ru-na. “I am among the sick a great deal in our city and have supplied many in valids with Pe-ru-na, simply because I am enthusiastic in my faith as to its re sults. ' I have never known it to fail to quickly and permanently remove that demoralized state of the human, system which follows la grippe. “In all cases of extreme weakness I use Pe-ru-na with perfect confidence of a good result. In cases of weakness peculiar to my sex I am sure that no other remedy can approach in good re sults the action of Pe-ru-na. It meets all the bad symptoms to which females are subject. The irregularities and ner vousness, the debility and miseries which afflict more or less the women from girlhood to change of life, are one and all met and overcome by this ex cellent remedy. I wish every young lady in our city could read your book. “ Mrs. Lizzie M. Brewer.” Pe-ru-na 'will cure the worst cases of catarrh. La grippe is acute epidemic catarrh, for which Pe-ru-na is a spe cific. Mrs. J. W. Reynolds, New Lisbon, Ohio, suffered for many years with chronic catarrh of the lungs, head and throat; continuous cough; many physi cians failed to cure. Permanently cured by Pe-ru-na. Thousands of testimonials could be produced. A valuable treatise on catarrh sent free by The-Pe-ru-na Medicine Company, Columbus, O. Delayed Letter. IJfGHTO I VE/VS FA LLS.

ROME STEAM LAUNDRY CO. HUGH MOORE, Agent at Cedartown. The coming together of the white people of the South is one of the most encouraging signs of the times. A few days ago we had occasion to native the fraternization of Democrats and populists in the county of Lincoln, where the spurring incentive of white union and white integrity has given the voters a common cause upon which they car, unite for the good of the country and the preservation of civil ization. In the re-adjustment of con ditions during the past thirty-live years the one shadow which hung over the South was that of the suffrage. If property, intelligence and racial safety were to he at the mercy of an ignorant horde of voters, all efforts at progress and development would he in vain, in the struggle which ensued there was tlie effort to secure safety at al most- any cost, and to secure it under a method which would not only be le gal hut right. Gradually the white primary lias grown lip as the best agent of reformation and defense. Through this method, carried on un der legal supervision and made sub ject- to all laws governing regular elections, there is afforded to tlie peo ple a full opportunity for the canvass ing and settling of any political ques tions which may arise. The vote hav ing been taken, the wishes of the ma jority having been ascertained, the white voters can then await in perfect patience the result of the regular election. During the past few years the great masses of the people in the South have been bitterly divided upon questions of great—moment, and going to the polls with these differences,the colored voter has too often been given the bal ance or power, with the result of de feating the white majority. While there were heartburnings in that era, it-has already furnished good fruit in opening the eyes of our people to the vssity of settling their differences, Frit- among themselves and then pre- Buniog -1 united front at the ballot The suggestion made by the ■lists of Lincoln county, n up in many other parts of the Jt-li, that previous divisions be for- Hcn and that all come together at y°7 primaries, is a good one. A j|,e movement thus in progress in irgia has reached Alabama, where cansnil counties have decided upon the Pittliary plan, meeting with the agree- . Jt of both Democratic and populist ■ 3ers. There is no room in the South hint- torhi division among white men. Every effort which they make to come to gether should be encouraged, and is a sign tiiat white patience will over come all difficulties.—Constitution. How’s This !

Granted at Boston la 1 (IIS nnd Call ed n Monopoly. To the general court of Massachu setts belongs the honor of granting the first American patent. This was in 1G4S nnd was then designated as a monopoly. It was confined to tlie re gion controlled by Massachusetts, and the one issue apparently included till the invention of the Inventor connect ed with engines that depended upon water for their motive power. The limit of the monopoly was 14 years, and the court not only retained power to forbid exportation, but to prevent exorbitant charges upon the public for their use. The patent was issued in this form: “JENKES MONOrOLYE. “At a generall Courte at Boston the Ctb of the 3th Mo 1G4S. The cor’t eon- sid’inge ye necessity -of raising such manifactures of engins of mils to go by water for speedy dispatch of much worke with few hands, and being suffi ciently informed of ye ability of ye pe tition to pefortue such workes grant his petition (yet no Othr per sen shall set up or use any such new invention, or trade for 14 yeares wthout ye li cense of him the said Joseph Jenkesl so fan- as coneerties any such new in vention, & so it shall be alwayes in ye powr of this co’te to restrain ye ex portation of.such manufactures & ye prizes of them to moderation if occa sion so require.” Tliis inventor. Joseph Jetffies. or Jenks. as it would now be spelled, came from Hammersmith. England, settled in Lynn in 1043 and died in 1GS2-S3; aged SI.

That afternoon his relatives and friends searched the neighborhood in vain for him. At length lie was run down in this library. By liis side was a new suit of clothes. “It’s a nice man you. are.” ironically said the spokesman. “What's the matter now':” returned Robert irritably. “Your bride and the preacher are waiting fe.r you tills two hours.

A SCIENTIFIC ESTIMATE OF PRO PRIETARY MEDICINES. BT A. D. THOMAS, M. D. That curative agents of unquestioned efficacy are to be found among proprie tary medicines is a fact that has been demonstrated so often and so inclu sively that there is no longer any room for donbt in regard to it. Specifics be longing to the class in question have been obliged, before gaining recogni tion, to fight their way through the formidable opposition offered by prej udice, and this is what a small and select number have done by sheer force of merit. Nothing else could win them the longed-for name of standard reme dies. The public is in general too scrutinizing and skeptical with regard to proprietary medicines to accept any article belonging to this class which has not proved its claims to therapeutic worth. The thousands of worthless nostrums that are placed on the market every year enjoy but a fitful period of prosperity, dependent on and measured by the skill their manufacturers display in advertising. The true character of such specifics sooner or later becomes known through the medium of those whose crednlity has led them to be duped by an aitfnl newspaper notice or an attractive billboard and then the im posture sinks from public view. This is the course run by the great majority of proprietary medicines. It is the ex ception in this line which, possessed of real therapeutic virtue, holds its own and builds up a reputation on the basis of genuine testimony coming from those who have been benefited by its use. A bappy illustration of a remedy of this character is foand in C. L. C. Curry’s Liver Compound, which is compounded by the Curry-Arrington Company, of Home, Georgia. The manner in which the use of this medicine has been steadily extending is in itself an indication that the wide call for the specific which now exists results from the possession of gen uine worth. An inquiry of the most searching character into the record made by the above remedy established the fact that it is a medicinal agent of reni-curative power. The same scrutin izing investigation showed that when once the remedy nnder discussion had been introdneed into a neighborhood it never lost ground, but continued to ex tend the sphere of its usefulness, being fonnd to he a thoroughly trustworthy specific in all cases of dyspepsia, indi gestion, constipation, biliousness, jaun dice, liver complaint, Bright’s disease, diabetes,gravel, rheumatism and all dis eases arising from a disordered condi tion of the stomach, liver and kidneys. The staunchest supporters of this medicine were found among those who had themselves tried it, and were, as a consequence, inspired with a feeling of confidence toward it.' Testimony such as that obtained in connection with the above remedy—genuine first-hand evidence—is always deserving the high est respect. It is only on evidence of this character that we ever indulge' in postive statements, and it is only after signal proof of hygienic value -that we are willing to indorse 0. L. C. Curry’s Liver Compound. That the investigation which was prosecuted into the record of the medi cine in question was eminently fair and impartial will not be donbted when con sideration is taken of the fact that those who conducted the inquiry were in .no way connected with the manufacture of the remedy and that the compounders of the specific themselves had no knowledge that such an investigation was being followed ont. The former fact insured an nnbiased report on the evidenced collected; the latter fact pre cluded the possibility of “made to order” testimony. Hence it is on the basis of the very best evidence that we speak so highly of the virtues belong ing to C. L. C. Curry’s Liver Com pound. A large number of people in different parts of the country, when questioned in regard to the above remedy, ex pressed the most unbounded admira tion for its potent curative properties. Many of the persons who spoke in praise of the specific nnder disenssion belonged to a conservative class which is little given to the nse of superlatives. Therefore we have felt entirely justified in drawing conclnsions from their testi mony, all of which went to prove that curative virtues of the highest order had always been fonnd in C. L. C, Curry’s Liver Compound.—American Journal of Health. DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS For Success Rapidly Brightening _In the West. Washington, March 25th.—Advices from Indiana indicate a highly favor able state of affairs from a Democratic standpoint, and serve to emphasize the effect which the Porto Rican tariff squabble is having upon the republi cans. One of the most significant develop ments of the situation is the great in crease in the number of Democrats who are candidates for office. Three or four weeks ago the feeling in Indiana,as rellected by the Democratic representatives from that state in Congress, was that while the party might have a fair chance for victory, it was only fair at best and the odds with the republicans. This was re garded true not only so far as the state ticket was concerned, but in tlie con gressional districts, and especially with regard to the control of the leg islature. There are heavy republican majorities in eight of the thirteen congressional districts, and the state is so districted that the legislature is pretty safely republican except in the event oL a Democratic landslide,wlocli is scarcely less likely to happen in In diana than in Ohio or Illinois. But so deep-seated is the popular in dignation at the republican injustice to Porto Rice that the scene lias suddenly changed, and tlie Democrats of tlie Hoosier state now seem to believe they have excellent chances of carrying things ail along the line. it is not only Porto Rico, but it is because tlie Porto Rican movement comes on tlie heels of admitted inter nal dissensions in republican ranks and great dissatisfaction among tlie labor ing element at the failure nf the re publicans to take • any steps toward restricting tlie marvelous growtli of the trusts and great combinations. A few weeks ago it looked as if tlie Democratic nominations would go begging. Now they are in great demand. A half dozen of the strong est men in tlie party are candidates for the nomination for Governor, and there is every evidence of an old time Democratic' awakening such as the state knew in the days when Torn Hendricks was tlie power out there.— Special to Tlie Constitution. WILL OBSERVE THE ECLIPSE. Naval Observatory Is Making Exten sive Preparations. Washing-ion, March 25.—Extensive preparations are being made at the Unitpd States Naval Observatory for photographing and observing the total eclipse of the sun, which occurs on May 28th. .Astronomical Director S. J. Brown said today: If the weather is favorable we ex pect to secure some fine observations of the phenomena.” Two government stations will ob serve the eclipse, one in South Caro lina and One in Georgia. There may be a bratfeh station as far South as Union Springs, Ala., a place directly under the line of totality. Professor Brown said that the observatory is asked many questions in regard to the eclipse, indicating the widespread in terest manifested in scientific circles in the approaching event. A party of Eastern scientists will come to Wash ington some days prior to the 2Sth of May and will accompany tlie observa tory corps south,some going to Georgia and others remaining in South Caro lina. TO CONNECT WITH EAST & WEST Chattanooga, Tenn., March 22.—It was announced today that the Chatta nooga Southern railroad would be ex tended at once twelve miles from Gads den, Ala., the present terminus, and connect with the East and West railroad and thenoe rnn to Birmingham. From Birjningham the road is to be extended to Montgomery. Rnssell Sage is the power behind the Chattanooga South ern. IN HONOR OF MRS. CHAPMAN. One of the most delightful events of tlie past week was a luncheon given by Mrs. C. B.Witburn to her Wesleyan school-mates, in honor of Mrs. Dr. Chapman, of Cedartown, who was the guest of her sister, Mrs. Garlington. The afternoon sped swiftly away on the wings of happy memory. The house was filled with laughter as the school girl pranks were recalled, and a hush felt ever and anon as the broken ties were remembered. - Each guest was-requested to contrib ute Iter special accomplishment to the afternoon’s pleasure, and many were the songs, recitations, and piano solos, all relics of Wesleyan days, which called forth smiles and tears. At six o’clock the dining room doors were thrown open and elaborate lunch served. Profusion of I.aFrance roses, pink candles and pink etnbr. i Jery lent a roseate hue to the beautiful rootA. At each guest’s place was an exquisite white silk fan, hand-painted rosy tints. On one side was a dainty maiden in soft pink gown, leaning over an elegant escritoire writing to her absent school friend. On the desk sits a bowl of pansies which every body knows is “for thought.” The pink-shaded candles threw a soft color over the whole. To the right, as if floating in her memory, is a strain of music and underneath the well known notes are the words,“.Shuuld auld ac quaintance be forgot?” To tlie left is a tiny space in which is written the name of the recipient of each souvenir. The design was Mrs. Wilburn’s own, and the work was done by Miss Imo- gene Coulter. Mrs. Wilburn is an ideal hostess and dearly loved by her friends.—Borne Tribune, 20th.

PAID BY UNCLE SAM. Some of the Odd Eipensea the Gov ernment Has to Bear. Every one knows that it costs almost $400,000,000 a year to run the United States government in times of peace and that the department of war and the navy, the Indian and pension bu reaus absorb the larger part of this amount, bnt in the course of years a large number of dependents upon Un cle Sam’s purse have come Into being of which the general public knows lit tle. Such, for example, are the Interna tional bureau for the repression of the African slave trade, located at Brus sels, a highly laudable iustitutlon. to the expenses of which our government contributes $100 a year; tlie Interna tional bureau of weights and measures, also at Brussels, to which $2,270 Is con tributed, and the. International Geodet ic association, tlie expenses of which our government shares to the extent of $1,500 yearly. As a leading member of a group of nations specially interested in humane and philanthropic work we subscribe $325 a year to a lighthouse service on the coast of Morocco, about $4,500 to be divided among citizens of other lands for service rendered to ship wrecked American seamen. $500 a year toward maintaining a hospital for sail ors at Panama anil $9,000 for keeping and feeding American convicts impris oned in foreign countries. Among the unfamiliar purposes in the home country for which money Is appropriated from the federal treas ury is the maintenance of the Wash ington monument, costing $11,520 an nually. and the provision of artificial limbs for soldiers calling for $547,000 year.—Leslie’s Weekly. ONE COST OF MILITARISM. The war witli Spain cost us $259,341,- 299. The war with the Filipinos has cost already $105,900,000, and it is es timated that it will cost $125,000,000 more this year. The permanent increase of the an nual cost of the army and navy for many years to come will be at least $100,000,000. The public debt has been increased $200,000,930 and a treasury deficit has been created since we en tered upon a career of imperialism. This, taken in connection with the sacrifice of thousands of valuable lives, a far more serious consideration, shows that militarism is an expensive luxury and gives great gravity to tlie query : “What is it' all worth.”—Atlanta Journal. A. B. De Fluent, editor of- the Jour nal, Doylestown, Ohio, snffered fora number of years from rheumatism in his right shonlder aud side. He says: “My right arm at times was entirely useless.

Robert Hardy’s Seven Days Rev. Charles M. Shel dons Latest Story WILL APPEAR IN THIS PAPER IT IS ANOTHER BIG HIT, AS FASCINATING AND DRAMATIC AS “IN HIS STEPS.” Robert Hardy, a wealthy church member, who is a Christian in name only, is rebuked by his wife for his selfish and unchristian attitude to ward several employees who have been injured and falls asleep upon a sofa. In his dream he sees everything that is going on in the town about him; his minister discouraged because of the worldliness of people fn the church, and particularly because of Hardy’s unchristianlike conduct; his son gambling and drinking in a saloon; one of his injured employees whom he had refused to visit awaiting the amputation of both feet; and his lonely wife mourning be cause of his neglect. He then dreams that he is carrie'd,high above the earth into the pres ence of the Face of Eternity. The Face accuses him of his lack of Christianity and warns him that he has but seven more days upon earth— “seven days to help redeem your soul from ev erlasting shame and death.” Mr. Hardy awak ens greatly impressed by his terrible dream and believes that it is actually a warning. He tells his wife and children of his dream, admits that he has not lived as he.should, and declares that he has but seven more days to live. The dock strikes the hour of midnight and the first “Safe Bind, Safe Find.” Fortify yourself now by purifying and enrich ing your blood and building np your system with Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and you may expect good health through out the coming season.
