THE CEDARTOWN STANDARD
VOLUME. U.
CEDARTOWN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING. MAY 10, 1900
NO EXD IN SIGHT
Of East & West Railroad Litigation,
Says the Birmingham Age-
Herald.
“Experts Rill begin on the lath in
stant to take an inventory of all tlie
property of the East and West Kail-
road Company of Alabama, preparatory
to pushing the litigation now pending
between the Brownings, of New York,
and the Kelley estate, owners of the
road,” says the Birmingham Age-Her
ald.
“The law suit over the possession of
this road has been one of the hardest
fought and most bitterly contested that
ever came before the courts of Ala
bama. It has been pending in the
state courts in one form or anotherTor
the past seven years, and now seems as
far from settlement as ever. The value
of the property is estimated to be about
$1,200,000.
“The litiga'ion grew out of the is
suance of $000,000 of receiver’s certifi
cates, which were bought by the late
Engene Kelley, a part owner of the
read, and who, in 1893, acquired pos
session of the property. The road ex
tends from Cartersville, Ga., to Pell
City,Ala., a distance-of about 125 miles,
and runs through the St. Clair coal
fields and the brown ore region of East
Alabama, passing through the towns of
Cedartown, Ga., Piedmont and Jack
sonville, Ala.
“The Supreme Court of Alabama last
December rendered a decree to the ef
feet that by the payment of about
$000,000 to the Kelley estate the Brown
ings could take possession of the read
Subsequently this decree was modified
and about $300,000 of interest added to
the amount required of the Brownings
before they could get possession. This
sum represented the interest on the re
ceiver’s certificates from 1893 up to the
date of the decree.

Mr. Alex. Carter of Yan Buren, Carter
Co, Mo, says: “I had been troubled
with dyspepsia and indigestion since
1879. The best physicians in the country
could do no good.

only remedy was \ flVZ? > •
to have it cutout,
which I refused to have done. I then
visited 'West Baden, Ind.; Las Vegas 1
Hot Springs, New Mexico; Sweet,
Springs, Mo, and Monitou, Col. I also :
took a great many different-kinds of i
medicine recommended for dyspepsia, ;
but found no relief. Last February I :
read a testimonial for Pe-rn-na in the ,
Central Baptist that suited my case and ,
I determined at once to try it. I have ,
taken two bottles of Pe-ru-na and four
of Man-a-lin, and I feel like a new man. 1
None of my friends believed I would get 1
well. I would not take any money for ■
the good your remedies have done me.’’ 1
In catarrh of the stomach, as well l
as in catarrh of any other part of the
body, Pe-ru-na is the remedy. As it has ;
often been said, if Pe-ru-na will cure j
catarrh of one part, it will cure catarrh ,
of any other part of the .body. .

Rabbi David Klein, 526 E. Main street,
Columbus, O, writes the following to
Dr. Hartman in regard to Pe-ru-na: “ It
affords me great pleasure to testify to
the curative merits of 'your medicine.
Pe-ru-na is a well-dried and widely
used remedy. Especially as a specific
for catarrh of tile-stomach it cannot be
excelled. Pe-ru-na will do all that is
claimed for it.”

How many times have the censored
dispatches from Manila, the defenders
in Congress of imperialism and the
President himself told us that the war
in the Philippines was over!
Almost invariably, very soon after
these assurances were given have come
calls from Manila for more troops, ac
counts of renewed activity on the part
of the Filipinos or some fresh disaster
to our soldiers in the far-off islands.
Yesterday the American garrison at
Catubig was surprised and twenty of
its men slaughtered. Anil yet some of
the imperialist newspapers that came
ont yesterday mornirg contained the
nsnnl announcement that peace was
practically restored in the Philippines
and that the late insnrgents were dock
ing and hastening to acknowledge al
legiance to onr government. That the
sitnation in ihe Philippines is a grave
one cannot be denied. The people of
this country can be fooled no more with
stories of the collapse of the so-called
rebellion.
Manila itself is a hot bed of opposi
tion to onr authority and determina
tion to resist it. An outbreak there at
any time should surprise nobody.
Judge Cantj, a retired jndge of the
Minnesota Snpreme Court,just returned
from a four months’ visit to the Phil
ippines, said to a Minneapolis reporter:
“I believe that it would require 500-
000 men ten years to put down insur
rection, and that even then the work
would not be permanent. Its cost
would not be less than $1,000,000,000 in
money and 100,000 lives. The guerrilla
warfare now carried on by the Filipinos
is of that yielding, retreating natnre,
which is strong when it wants to strike
and non-existent when a snperior force
is near.”
In the opinion of many calm and
well informed observers our troubles in
the Philippines have only begnn.—At

useful member,
follows:—
Washington, April 29, 1900.
Dear Sir:—The Democratic Execu
tive Committee for the Seventh District
has ordered primaries on the same'day
that has been set apart by the Execu
tive Committee ot the state—that is,
Tuesday, the 15th of May next. On
that day yon will he called upon to vote
for Governor and various other officials;
also a candidate to represent yon in
Congress.
The advices I have uceived from the
district lead me to believe that my rec
ord in Congress has been approved by
my constitntents, or, to be more accu
rate, a majority of them. It has been
my purpose since I have had the honor
to reoresent you in Congress to carry
out yonr wishes, whenever expressed in
platform or otherwise. In the absence
of instructions, I have exercised my
own judgment as to what was best for
yon and the country, and, so far as^I
am able to learn, I believe that my
views have coincided with your own.
The experience that I have gained by
yonr partiality, which is so necessary to
the fnll and intelligent discharge of the
duties of a Representative in Congress,
will enable me to be oi vastly
more service to yon and the country
than I have been in the past, t
My lilt best ambition is to reach that
point where I may represent yon in the
Nation’s Congress so as to l effect the
highest credit upon that constituency
who have so loyally snpported me here
tofore. If I should be again elected to
represent yon, my best effort will be di
rected to this end. .1 -have heard of no
opposing candidate for this honor, but
in any event I solicit yonr hearty sup
port and influence’on the 15th day of
May next, and beg to express my
thanks and gratitude to those who have
snpported me heretofore.
Very respectively,
John W. Maddox.
