The answer war filed ait 5:30 o’clock yes

The Southern admits that it is a cor

State of Virginia. It admits that some of
th. complainants are engaed in the mer

.-xpi.ssly denies that all or any of the
romidaiitruits are -o interested as .to en
title them to fining this suit, and denies
that any of them have suffered any special
damage or injury whatever
It expr.ssly denies that in any respect
it has Violated the constitution or any
statutory or other law of said state, or
that it intends to do so. It is giving under
th. law of the land lawful. effective, cheap
and convenient service to the citizens of
the state.
In r. -Met to the Elberton Air-Line
railroad, th. Southern says that said road
ie d has been changed to the standard
gauge, and the roadbed and itenniinus
much improved, and that by a large ex

IN MEMORIAM.
Thomas C. Peek entered into rest July
22, 1898. Yes, truly may it be said: "That
in the midst of life, we are in death.” Ere
a week ago this handsome, vigorous boy
was the joy of his home, and the comfort
ot a loving mother; but the great reaper
came and demanded the pure and gentle
spirit to be transplanted to a clime where
all is bright and beautiful. Tom Peek was
indeed a noble, high-minded boy. One who,
as his classmates asserted, never sullied
his lips with a wicked word nor darkened
his soul with a deception. His young life
was full of vitality, enjoying boyish sports
with all the zest of a young mind free
from guile; yet withal, so kind and con
siderate to others, as to gain the esteem
and love of his companions. The loved
ones will miss his tender, ministering
spirit, hut in the’home beyond the shad
ows he will be waitng and his noble in
fluence will shed rays of light and love,
far and near among classmates and school
mates.
Take comfort, dear parents, in the
thought that your boy performed a noble
mission and that boyhood was made
brighter, better and purer by his young
life, and a tender, loving Father does not
willingly afflict us, but sorrows and sym
pathies when our hearts are grief stricken.

DOG DM LORE
HANDED DOWN.
Superstitions to Which Some
Importance is Attached
by People of Present.
STILL MUZZLE THE DOGS
In Some Towns—Science, However,
Demonstrates that There Is No
Truth as a Basis for the Fiction.
From the Atlanta Journal.
The subject of dog days is an interesting
one at this time of the year and there are
conflicting opinions as to when the dog
days begin, when they end and what they
are, anyway.
A hot discussion is going on as to
whether the first dog day this year was on
yesterday, the 28th, or today, the 29th, of
July. It would take a skilled astronomer to
decide that i>oint. Certain it is that these
dog days, as some people have been wont
to understand them, do not begin at pre
cisely the same time every year because
modern astronomers have shown that the
rising of the dog star Sirius, coincident
with the sun, comes later every year.
The standard dictionary of the English
language -says that the dog days which
form that "not, sultry season of summer
during parts of July and August, are so
called from the fact that the rising of
the star dog Sirius is during that period
coincident with the rising of the sun."
The Standard dictionary stops there.
Now, the simple trutih is that this whole
•matter of dog days has no foundation in
fact, and that being so it matters little
upon what date they begin.
The origin of these dog days is very an
tique, and they came about in this way.
The great heat of July led to a supersti
tion among the Romans. They conceived
that the pre-eminent warmth and the
diseases and other calamities flowing
from it were somehow connected with
the rftsing and setting of the star Ca
nicula, or Little Dog star, in coincidence
with the sun. They accordingly conferred
the name of dog days upon the period
between the 3rd of July and the 11th of
August. So, the the 20 days immediately
preceding and the 20 days following rhe.
rising of th® dog star constituted the dog
days of the Roman superstition. Their
poet, Horace, even believed in this super
stition. He makes alusion to it in his
adress to the Blanduston Fountain in
which he remarks that the influence of
the dog star has made the water warmer.
Hut the scientific fact is that a spring
necessarily preserves a mean heat all the
year round.
The utter baselessness of this Roman
superstition of Dog daVB has been well
shown by the ordinary processes of na
ture, for, according to the International
Encyclopedia, the dog star does till the
latter end of August, while of course the
days between the 3d of July and the 11th
of August are just what they have ever
been. Dr. Hutton has shown how the co
incident rising of the dog star with the
sun is getting later and later every year
in all latitudes. On the Roman principle
the dog star in time will probably be
charged with bringing frost and sleet and
snow.
Still the Dog days continue to be a very
popular phrase, and will long continue to
be so, for some people convinced against
their will are going to be of the same
opinion still.
It is undoubtedly under the lingering re
gard for the old notion as much as from
the consideration of the effect of extreme
heat upon canine flesh and blood that
magistrates of towns so often order dogs
to be muzzled about the beginning of
July.
The variety of the Roman superstition
is proven by an antique garnet gem in
the Bessborough collection, continues the
International Encyclopedia, representing
the face of a tongue-lolling dog surround
ed by solar rays.
All of this tends to explode the modern
notion of 'Dog days, when dogs go mad in
droves, so to write, and it rains every day
for forty days, as it were.
It wil be very painful for some very good
people to do, but it is high time that the
old Roman superstition of the 'Dog days
were abandoned.
And yet Sirius, the dog star, otherwise
called Canicula—wnich the Romans, with
out any reason, regarding as a star of evil
omen—is a very big thing.
It is a star of the first magnitude, says
the astronomers, located in the Constella
tion of the Great Dog, and the brightest
in the heavens. This star is only 123,000-
000,000 of miles from the earth, and has a
of its own. It would take 400 suns tike
proper, that is to say, independent uintt--
the earth, to send us as much light as
ours, at the distance that Sirius is from
that. star. Our sun at that distance would
be less than a star of the sixth magnitude
and would be invisible to the naked eye.

CARNIVAL WORK.
Executive Committee Held an
Important Meeting Yes
terday Afternoon.
The executive committee o fthe Carnival
Association held an important meeting
yesterday evening for the purpose of mak
ing the plans for the big carnival more ae
finite.
From now on the committee will be hard
at work and the advertising of the big un
dertaking will comence at once. The com
mittee has authorized the making of sev
eral important contracts. They are, how
ever, somewhat reticent about some of
their plans, as it is thought advisable to
keep the big features quiet until the con
tracts have been signed.
It may be said, however, that they havu
in view some attractions that would seem
to be Immense undertakings, but they have
bee nassured that the association will have
the full support of the merchants.
The finance committee, while it has mad*
no active canvass, has assurances of at
least half of the amount required to make
the carnival a complete success.
The president was authorized to sign a
contract with Mr. Pinkston, who will build
the floats for the great mystic parade.
This will be without doubt the greatest
thing that has ever been seen in the south
outside of New Orleans. Mr. Pinkston is
an experienced float builder and has been
engaged at New Orleans. He promises to
give Macon a better shew than has ever
been seen outside of that town.
The parade of the Mystic feature of the
carnival will be made up of twelve pieces
and will be entitled ‘‘Peace and War.”
Each float will represent a different
feature of the war with Spain. The first
six floats will be headed by the Demon of
War.
Then will come other floats representing
each one a seuarate feature and complete
with al the mechanical devices and ac
companiments. such as soldiers, the Rough
Riders, the machine guns and the heavy
artillery.
The burning of Cervera’s fleeet wili be
shown in life-like maner and. in fact, the
whole thing will be a most wonderful
spectacle.
Then will come the floats designating
peace that follows war. These will be
beautifully designed and will be a regular
thanksgiving procession, showing the dif
ferent trades and business at work once
more. All of the floats will be as elabor
ate as those which show the features of
the war.
The procession of the Mystic parade will
be more than two miles in length. It w?"
be accompanied by innumerable torches
and iinz-ts every color and. of every de
scription. _ _ j
