Imen omitloyod Iw the Southern Kail way company to build its new freight yards near the junction. The nubile senerailv little appreciates the ini memity of this work which is just be- ins; started Sonio idea of it may ho sained when it is stated that the new yards will be thro ■ miles long and vat; in": in width from 200 to 80n feet. In certain sections there will be from ten to twelve new tracks placed side bv side. Elsewhere this number will be reduced to six. These tracks will a 1 1 be on the west side of the present main line and will run almost to the Salislmry macadam road. More than half a million cubic yards of dirt will my to be excavated in order to nake wav for the n. Several steam shovels, .'ill carts and other machines too numerous to mention, will he em ployed to facilitate Hie work. Those in charge hope to hav • the job finish ed in nine months.

(IraduaMy the work is ad Jj vancing and in its wake will follow better schedules and more adequate F* ; facilities for handling freight. Should 5 S the 1,! <'iin lines b- improved and the * terminal facilities neglected, then a condition of chaos and confusion would result. With the advent of the double track syst-m into Char lotte, the facilities for expeditiously handling traffic will be likewise im- |proved. It would be difficult to estimate the number of cars the new yards would ! accommodat ■ without consulting the I official plans This would lie hard to do own then for the specifications haw been altered several times re cently. it can be said with assurance I liowt wr, that the capacity of the local yards will he more than don Tile when t'''e new yards are ready for use and that in the futur • there will hardlv he any need for crowding. There will be room enough for all cars and to spare. A feature which should not he over looked in this connection is that, the | m iMi line will likely he straightened [<onsid rably when the new vards are put in. Instead of circling to the east and then turning north, tb line will be made to lake a straight line almost due north. Profitable Boquet Sending. A Russian grand duke, finding him seif with a few days to spare in Paris, went one evening to the theatre, and b 'ing a person of importance thought himself bound to send a boquet to the principal actress. A month after ward. being in the same apartment, his servant announced that a lady wished to see him. Going to the room he found an unknown lady be fore him. “I am afraid your highness does not recognize me,” she said. “I am Mari- quita, an actress, and I have come to thank you for your numerous kind attentions. "I recognize you now, madam,” re plied the duke, “hut I think you are mistaken. I only sent you one bou quet.” “But it was your servant who brought them each evening.” she said. Accordingly the servant was called, and eventually, with much confusion, he said to his master: “When I took the fist bouquet, your highness, the ladv gave me a tip of •’> francos, and as the bouquet cost only 40 sous I made •’ francs over it. So I repeated the performance, with the same result each time. I pray your highness’s pardon.” The First of Training. The Irishman wanted to sell the dog, says the Dublin Freeman, but the prospective buyer was suspicious and finally decided not to buy. The man then told him why he was so •Lanxious to sell. “You ote,” he said. [’T bought the dog and thrained him myself. ! got him so he’d hark all the I toime if a person stepped inside the gate, and thought I was safe from burglars. Then me woife wanted me to train him to carry bundles and I did. If I put a packet in his mouth the dog would keep it there till pome lone took it away. Well, one night I I woke up and heard some one in the next room. I ftot up and grabbed me gun. They were there, three of the scoundrels and the dog. i “Didn’t lie bark?" interrupted the man. ‘‘‘Soria a bark, he was too busy.” "Busy! What doing?” “Carrying a lantern for the bur ial's!” There is no surer evidence of a poisonous, polluted condition of the blood than that manifested by a sore that refuses to heal. Every symptom suggests pollution; the discharge, the red, angry flesh, the inflammation and discoloration of surrounding parts all show that the ulcer is kept open by a constant drainage through it, of impurities from the blood. When the blood is pure and healthy any cut, bruise or wound will heal readily; when from any cause, however, the blood has become infected with germs or poisons the place becomes a sore or ulcer, sometimes scabbing over, but never fully healing, because it is kept a ,S N ‘.y iv v ■ >.■'< J I want to recommend your S. S. S. to any who are in need of a remedy for an old sore. In 1S77 I had my leg badly cut by a barrel hoop and having on a blue woolen stocking my leg was badly poisoned from the dye. A great sore formed and for years no one knows what I suf fered with the place. Nothing would heal the ul cer and I thought I would have to go through life with a discharging, an gry sore on my leg. A short while ago I commenced to use S. S. S. and I soon saw that the place was im proving. I continued the use of it until my leg was entirely healed and I am now a well man. JNO.

The poison in the blood may be the remains of some constitutional disease, the ef fects of a long spell of sickness leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption t f refuse matters of the body which have not been properly expelled through the channels j of bodily waste.

Those most usually afflicted with chronic sores and ulcers are persons who have reached or passed middle life; the vitality.of the blood and strength of the system have naturally begun to weaken and the poisons in the blood which perhaps have been inherited and lain dormant in the system for years cannot be as effectually held in check as in early life when the system was strong and vigorous. While the old or middle-aged are the usual sufferers, the young are not exempt if the blood becomes infected with the germs. Salves, plasters, lotions, etc., cannot cure old sores and ulcers because they do not reach the seat of the trouble. Such treatment keeps the place clean, relieves pain and perhaps reduces the inflammation, and in this way is beneficial, but can never permanently heal them. The only treatment that can do any permanent good is a competent blood purifier, one that goes to the \ery root of the trouble and re moves the c.uise, and for this purpose nothing has ever been found to equal S. S. S. It goes down to the ver}' fountain-head of the disease, drives out all poison and morbid matter, builds up the weak, sluggish blood, gives energy and strength to the entire system, and allows the sore PURELY VEGETABLE t0 ^ iea ^ natl irally and permanently.
