1 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. “The Brownings set up the claim CATARRH OF THE STOMACH. victim wonders why he should be so i weak, wiiy his food gives him no strength, why his blood should be so thin. ' 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. I visited the Mullanphy hos- I pital in St. Louis Ok and received no y benefit.

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. . “Summer Catarrh” sent free by Po- j ru-na Drug M’f’g Co, Columbus, O. 1 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.” Mosquito Net 4c yard are made with Royal Baking - Powder, and are the most appe tizing, healthful and nutritious of foods.

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 lanta Journal. 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.
