 IN PEONAGE CASES
J. ". Pace Pleads Guilty in
 Eleven Cases
DEMURRERS FILED IN COURT
Indictment Against Pace for conspir. aey Will Not Be Brought Up Until Some Future Time to
 Agreed Upon.

Montgomery. June 24-lspecial.e e-There was an unexpected development in the Tallapoosa county peonage cases in the United States court here today, the plea of guilty entered by J. W. Pace in eleven cases creating much surprise.
 The cases had been set down for hearing on July 6, but it appears that for some cause Pace desired an early hearing, and when he was arraigned In court he re- fused to enter a plea and his lawyers stated demurrer of each of the eleven indictments on the ground that there was no law or custom of peonage shown. The demurrers filed in all of the cases were overruled and then Pace pleaded guilty in all of the cases. when he appealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals at New Or leans, making bond in the sum of S50OO in one of the cases. In the others his attor- neys made a motion on the motion docket that in these cases the defendant be given a new trial, assigning number of errors. The sentence of the court was five years in each case, to be served coneurrentlys meaning that MT. Pace will only have to serve five years in all.
 The indictments against him for con- spiracy will not be brought up until some future time 10 be agreed upon.
 The indictment that is to be carried to the Court of Appeals Is that of Owen Green, negro, who 1t is alleged was brutally whipped on Mir Faces farm. It Is stated that he had several bones broken and that his power of speech was in.er- fered with.

Thousands of women suffer from sys- temic catarrh. This is sure to produce such symptoms as cold feet and hands, sick headache, palpitation of the heart and heavy feelings in the stomach
 Then begins a series of experiments with medicine. They take medicine for sick headache They take medicine for nervous prostration, for palpitation of the heart, for dyspepsia None of these medicines do any good because they do not reach the cause of the complaint.
 Peruna at once mitigates all these symptoms by removing the cause.
 Systemic eatarrh is tA-. trouble. Sys- temic catarrh pervades she whole sys- tenn, deranges every organ, weakens every function. No permanent cure can be expected until the systemic catarrh is removed.

I tried eight or ten of the best physicians without receiving much benefit; also tried lots of patent medicines. But still l suf- fered with sick headache, cold feet and hands, palpitation of the heart and such a heavy feeling in my stomach and chest. At times I would be so nervous l could not bear any one around me. l had been given up to die.
 "One day a friend sent me one of Dr. Hartman's pamphlets and l decided to write to him. He advised Peruna and Manalin, and after taking the medicine two weeks I felt greatly relieved. My head did not pain me any scarcely and my stomach was relieved of It's heavy feeling. I am so thankful that can say, after using several bottles of the Peruna and Manalin, I am restored to perfect health.
 before using your remedies I could not eat anything. I lived on barley water and Panopeptin for two yeevs. Now l can eat with pleasure. Everybody is so surprised at my improvement. Every one says I am looking like a rose. I would advise all suffering women to take your remedies I know if it were not for Pe- runa and Manalin I would have been in my grave today. I cannot thank you enough for the kind advice you have given me."-Miss Alma l.. Cox.
