CAUSE OF SHORTAGE
IN FREIGHT CARS.
ATLANTA, Feb. 12.—In discussing
the complaint of the shortage of freight
cars to handle traffic, a well-known
railroad man said today that one of
the principal causes of It was the fail
ure of merchants to promptly unload
car* consigned to them. Pointing to
one little freight yard in the midst of
the city, moving only half a block, he
said:
"Tou see there forty freight cars
standing on those sidetracks, none of
them unloaded. Some of them con
tain coal and other merchandise of
various kinds. Some of those cars
have been right there for more than a
week and no effort has been made by
the merchants to whom the goods-are
consigned to unload them. There are
many cases where they prefer to leave
them and pay the demurrage of 11 per
day as storage. Of course this sort of
thing adds much to the car shortage
which the railroads are trying to rem
edy as rapidly^ as it is possible for
them to do so.”

JACKSON RIFLES STOOD
SPLENDID INSPECTION
ATLANTA. Feb. 12.—Col. A. J.

turned to the city today from Jack-
son. Butts County, where he went to
attend the first of the annual inspec
tions of State troops. The Jn.ckson
Rides of Butts County were lirst on
the list, and they were inspected Mon
day night by Col. W. J. Obear, inspec
tor general of State troops, and Capt.
J. M. Morgan of the Twelfth United
States Cavalry on the part of the
United States War Department. Colo
nel Scott said the Jackson Rifles made
a most excellent showing. Every mem
ber of trfc company was in attendance
at tlie inspection and the company's
equipment was in fine shape. If all the
other companies in the State can make
as good a showing. Colonel Scott said.
Georgia will be at the top of the list.
From Jackson Colonel Obear and Cap
tain Morgan went to Macon, where
they will spend two days inspecting

ashes on their heads, they went with
them. When the number of these charit
able people increased the rite wus ex
tended to the whole congregation.
Tlie ashes used were obtained from the
burning of the palms in the churches on
the previous 7’alm Sunday. Soon after the
reformation the English church abandoned
the use of ashes: ashes in the old dispen
sation were used as a sign of mourning
and penitence. Sack-cloth and ashes
formed a common combination. Tlie Jews
constantly used these as symbols of grief
and desolation.
In rural France the peasantry on Ash
Wednesday used to carry around an effi
gy. supposed to be personification of good
cheer, and collected money for Its fu
neral. inasmuch as this day was the
burial of good living. After several mum
meries this effigy was deposited in the
earth.
The burial of the sardine as a Spanish
custom. A small paper-covered coffin,
containing n small fish or a morsel of
sausage, is carried in procession as a
symbol of the burial of all worldly pleas
ures during Lent. At Madrid a vast
throng turns out to witness the burial
of the saidlne in the banks of the Man-
zanares.
The Jack-o’-Lent Is a scarecrow-llke
effigy used as a symbol of Lent, and car
ried around in processions. The idea of
fasting and abstinence never has been
popular, consequently the Jack-o'-Lent
q,.,. j usually becomes a target for sticks and
plp " stones.
In England arose a curious custom. An
offirer. known as the King's Cock Crower.
crowded the hour every night within the
precincts of the palace, during Lent, in
stead of leaving it to the watchman to
proclaim the time. On the first Ash
Wednesday after the Hanoverian succes
sion. just as the Prince of Wales ('subse
quently George II.), sat down to supper,
this officer mud,’ his appeanmee and
emitted ten shrill crows. But this did
not happen again. The court decided it
could do without any further imitation of
Peter's cock to remind it of Its errors.
With such customs the solemn season
of Lont lias been ushered in. And the
idea back of them all is a sane and
healthy one. It has long been thought well
for people to set aside some time during
the year when they can take the time
to reflect on the great things of life and
learn to he quiet. D. H. T.

WAR OF STMT
The disease now known
used to be called 'influenza/
It very closely resembles a cold, but
is more tenacious in its hold upon the
system and produces more profound
disturbances.
Grip is in reality epidemic catarrh.
When It once begins it spreads over
the country very rapidly.
People do not catch the grip from
each other, but each one catches it
from the atmosphere.
“Most Effective Medicine Ever Tried
for La Grippe.”
Rohert L. Madison, A. M.. Principal
of Cullowhee 'High School. Painter, N.
C.. is chairman of the Jackson County
■Board of Education.
He is a writer of occasional verse
and has contributed to a number of
leading papers and magazines,—relig
ious, educational and secular.
In speaking of Peruna. Mr. Madison
says:
“I am hardly ever without Peruna In
my home. It is the most effective med
icine that ■■ I have ever tried for la
grippe.
“It also cured my wife of nasal ca
tarrh. Her condition at one time was
such that she could not at night
breathe through her nostrils.
“In consequence, an inflamed con
dition of the throat was brought
about, getting worse and worse and
yielding to no remedy until Peruna was
tried.”
Healthy Mucous Membranes.
Those who are fortunate enough "to
have perfectly healthy mucous mem
branes ordinarily do not catch the grip.
The mucous membranes lining the
nose, throat and lungs, when In a
normal state, are an effectual barrier
against the invasion of grip.
B.ut, if there happens to be the
slightest catarrhal derangement of the
mucous membranes, then the victim
becomes an easier prey to the grip.
This in part explains why some peo
ple get the grip, while others do not.
The rational thing to do is to keep
the system free from catarrh. In at
tempting to do this most people have
fount] Peruna to be invaluable.
Systemic Catarrh, the Result of La

Mrs. Jennie W. Gilmore. Box 44..
White Oak, Ind. Ter., formerly House

“Six years ago I had la grippe, which
was followed by systemic catarrh.
“The only thing I used was Peruna
and Manalin, and I have been in better
health the last three years than for
years before.
“I give Peruna all the credit for my
good health.”
During an epidemic of grip Peruna
should be used. The doses recom
mended on the bottle are sufficient.

he should not be compelled to “go over
the country as the principal in an in
vestigation of this nature."

mittee is adverse to allowing testimony
to appear in the record before being
censored by a majority of the commit

them, he replied there ' were six or
seven, additional witnesses whom . he
desired examined, mostly on rebuttal.'

* “Mr. Chairman, that’s a lie. Its. is
infamy to allow any man to stand , here
and make a statement that Is a down
right malicious lie,, and a lie made out
of whole cloth.”
Mr. Cocke insisted that he was doing
only what the committee had invited
him to do. A motion was adopted that
