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.” THE ORIGIN OF ASH-WEDNESDAY Evening Post..

JACKSON RIFLES STOOD SPLENDID INSPECTION ATLANTA. Feb. 12.—Col. A. J. Sent:, assistant adjutant general, re 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 the troops In that city. 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.

SAVANNAH, Feb. 12.—While the misdemeanors indictments have all been returned in the turpentine trust case, it is rumored that the Govern ment may proceed yet further.

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 Grippe, Pe-ru-na Receives Credit for Present Good Health. Mrs. Jennie W. Gilmore. Box 44.. White Oak, Ind.
