IT LOOKS HOPEFUL.
President Conner Believes the Plan Has Been

Found IOr CentraTs Reorganization.
Savannah, Ga, December 9.-(Special.)
If there is no radical and hostile leg sla-
ton on the part of the legislature of GeOr-
gia the reorganization plan prepared for the
Central railroad system will be carried into
effect. The people of this state who are
now holding stocks and junior securities
that i'll the bursting condition OF the COM
panys affairs are practically yaluless, will
then be saved millions of dollars and the
system will be placed on 4 firm and remull-
erative basis once mocu.
This was the extremely gratifying state
ment that President Ii. Nj. Conner made
to The Constitution correspondent this ar
ternoon Mr.. Conner returned from New
York this morning. AS is generally known
he was in consultation in that city for sew
eral days with the committee that has been
endavoring to bring order out OF the rum
into which the Central system was plunged,
and to make it once more railroad proper
ty IN which investments would be safe
AS for the details of the plan Mr.. Conner
states that he cannot yet announce tneiil.
He is still hard at work and will continue
so for several days celebrating the scheme.
He Will then return to New York for another
meeting with the committee. He believes
that the full reorganization plan will be given
to the public before Christmas. II there IS
no iniInical legislation the carrying OF the
man into execution should not be long de-
ferred.
Once the system is reorganized in this man
ner it is believed that 1t VIII speedily be
demonstrated that the property under proper
management can earn all expenses and fix
ed charges and il margin over.
Mr.. Conner advises all security holders to
retain their holdings. A speculative demand
is likely to arise, but the benefits will be
secured by the buyers BY holding on,
those now in possession of securities of the
system will be able to reap all the benefits
Of the reorganization. BY selling at this
time they lose them.
Mr.. Conner is sanguine, more SO, in fact,
than he has been at any time since he as
s,lmed the receiyership of the system, as to
the future of the Central. While there still
remains considerable work to be done it will
be but the finishing touches. The main out
lines of the plans are completed. The re-
maindar is comparatively easy.
With these facts before it for considera-
ton and with the knowledge that thous-
ands Of Georgians are financially interested
in the salvation of the Central system it Is
hardly probable tnt the legislature. will in
tlulge in any legislation that must be abso-
luteiy ruinous in its immediate effects on the
most equitable plan of reorganization. Real.

men of humble means, of trusts, of widows
and Of orphans leaning upon the Central
railroad system for the means of existence
through their investments i'll it, it is probable
that public sentiment will be so strong
that no one will dare to sweep away the last
hope they have of re-establishment of val
ues and of incomes from this source.
The success Of this reorganization plan, as
Mr.: Conner says, is of vital interest to the
from the results of the breaking up Of the
system and the utter destruction of the val
ues of all securities but first mortgage bonds
that must come if this plan is defeated by
outside instrumentality and the property
thrown over to the creditors to get what
they can each for himself. The scramble
among holders of senior securities would re-
suit in the sacrifice Of the stocks and deben-
lures. This reorganization and its successful
consummation is today the most important
thing engaging the attention of the people
of Georgia.

A HOST OF WITNESSES.
CatarrhiCure That Rests on tho Unsolicited
Testimony of Thousands.

This is an age when theories have little
Or no weight on the average mind, but
actual demonstration is demanded. Tho
busy people Of today have neither time nor
inclination to speculate, and turn with
distrust from everything that does not
plainly bear the stamp of fact. The reason
Pe-ru-na has gained such universal hold
of the confidence Of the people as a ca
tarrh cure is because all statements con-
corning it are accompanied by facts. Tho
following are specimens selected at random,
from cloud of witnesses who have been
cured Of chronic catarrh by Pe-ru-na:
Mrs. M. j. Tamblin, Kyle, Tex, suffered
ten years from chronic catarrh; tried every
catarrh cure in vain; took Pe-ru-na and
was completely cured. Hon. W. D. Will
liams, New Vienna, o., had catarrh twenty
years, affecting lungs and throat; could
find no cure; was entirely cured by Peru
ma. w. d. Stokes, Baton Rouge, La,
had catarrhal deafness; cured by Pe-ru-na;
can hear as well as ever. Bev. j. q. Ran
DALI Sulphur Springs, Tex. was cured of
catarrh of the kidneys by Pe-ru-na Mrs.
Thomas Weaver, Lee, Athens county. o.,
had chronic catarrh from childhood; Peru
Ma affected a cure. Mrs. j. w.
Reynolds, Elliton, o., box At,
had catarrh of the lungs and head,
bad cough physicians failed to cure; COM
pletely restored to health by Pe-ru-na. Mrs.
Dizzy A. Lewis was afflicted for fourteen
years by chronic catarrh; best physicians
failed; took Pe-ru-na and is entirely WELL
For further particulars and multitude
of other witnesses write to The Pe-ru-na
Drug Manufacturing Company, Columbus,
o., for free copy of their Illustrated
treatise on catarrh. Pe-ru-na is also
sure cure for coughs, colds, bronchitis, la
grippe, first stage Of consumption, and all
climatic diseases Of winter.
