Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-10-24

Americus is not on the line Of the
Central of Georgia Railway, an ar
tonishing fact but one true, 1eyerfhe-
less, for no less tribunal than the SUI
preme Court of Georgia has so ruled
In an important case appealed from
Sumter superior court. Of course
railroad line known, commonly, as
the Central Railway, goes through
Americus, but the court has decided
that this corporation cannot exercise
the right of eminent domain in the
ctse at issue.
Not even is Americas to be knowR
as "No. s. on the Central, but has ffz
full cognomen as the greatest city I'm

And upon that technical point WIS
the case of the Central of Georgia
Railway Co. versus Harold Bros,
reversed by the Supreme Court in =
decision recently rendered
AS is well known, locality, HarroId
Bros. some two years ago sought tn
restrain the Central of Georgia from
extending certain track along Hamp-
ton street in Americas to the base
ball park, on Lamar street, the dis
tance of city block. Property OF Har-
rold Bros. abuts on Hampton street
along the proposed extended side
track.
The case has been lengthy one.
and has been threshed out throughIy
ir the local courts and also in the
supreme court where some time
since, a decision favorable to the Cen
tral Railway was rendered LatterIy.
another appeal was taken upon the
plea that the Central's line to Amerj-
Gus was really the property Of the
old Southwestern Railway Co., al
though under lease for ninety-nfne
years to the Central of Georgia Rail
way.
This being true, it was contended
by the petitioners. the Central Rail-
way could rot exercise the right OF
eminent domain without the consent of
the real owners of the railway ITae
here, the Southwestern. This confen-
ton was sustained, and a decision
favorable to Harold Bros. was rend
cred.
The Central Railway, it was set
forth in the decision recently render
ed, owns only the line entering Amer
icus from Columbus, and which con-
meets with the Central's mainline n
mile north of the city of Americas
This latter line was built by the Gem
trail and, of course, is owned by that
corporation, but its mainline through
tie city belongs to the Southwestern
Railway Company. This organizations
Is still maintained, although it does
not operate its railway line.
This decision of the supreme eourx
would seem to pu- a quietus upon the
possible building of a union depot af

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About
Kidney Troubles.

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases OF
serious illness, makes chemical analysis
of the patients urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease, which is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble.
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in
1913 in the state of New York alone.
Therefore, it behooves us to pay more
attention to the health of these most
important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney rem
edy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation in most cases is soon realized,
according to sworn statements and verified
testimony OF those who have used the
remedy.
If YOU feel that your kidneys require
attention. and wish a sample bottle, write
to DIR. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. y.
Mention this paper, enclose ten cents and
they will gladly forward it to you by
Parcel Post.
Swamp-Root is sold by every druggist
in bottles of two sizes-50c and Sl.0o. Adv.
