MONTGOMERY'S TRADE
CARLOAD RECEIPTS FOR LAST
 TWO YEARS.
Large Increase is Shown in Hard ware, Groceries and Coal-Com- parative Statement of Past
 Two Years.

A good deal of valuable informa ton can be gotten out of a report compiled by Secretary Gilbert of the Commercial and Industrial Association, which shows the carload receipts at Montgomery for the past two years. Of course this does not represent all the trade of the city, as there is an immense amount done in less than carload lots, and a good deal done in the wagon trade. Nevertheless the in- crease in receipts of lumber. lime and cement, brick. stone. etc. is a reliable index of the increased amount of build ing that has gone on during the past year.
 A noticeable improvement Is shown also in the hardware trade. as indicated in the receipts of hardware. nails, machinery, etc. The largest increase Is, however, in the grocery trade, as shown in the items of bagging and ties. -four and meal. grain and hay, packing house products -rice, salt and sugar and molasSes. The large increase in receipts of coal Is somewhat fictitious. due to the shipping to Mont gomery proper of large quantities of coal destined for points beyond.
 The table of car load receipts with comparisons between the two years as compiled by Secretary Gilbert is as fol- loue -

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad has purchased from the estate of the leto Jacob s. Rogers i1.00O shares of Nash vile, Chattanooga and St. Louis stock, formerly owned by him. Negotiations for the purchase of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad by the Louisville and Nashville are said to have been resumed. and this, it ia claimed, Is the reason for the Activity and strength of the former. It will be remembered that negotiations between these two companies were under way some time ago, and the offer was re fused. -l

This latter road ter inmates at Evansville. where the L. and N. received the Chicago and St. Angus tine flyer which was delivered to the Plsnt here last winter. The l.. and N. would either have to control the Terre Haute road or have closo traffice arrange ments with it in order to get to Chicago over the East Illinois. It will be remem- bered that Mir. Metcalf, formerly Gen. eral Manager of the l.. and N, after he left the Rio Grande some time ago was given a position on the Terre Haute road. Speaking of the rumored purchase of the East Illinois by the Louisville and Nashville, an official of the latter road said to The Advertiser with knowing smile: "I don't think that there will be any trouble about the relations between the Louisville and Nashville and the Evansville and Terre Haute."

be shown that 1t did not pay the same rebate to some other shipper, which, as 8 practical matter, Is almost impossible.
 This statement is not true. The very decision referred to distinctly holds that the mere fact of paying rebate from the tariff rate is in itself an offense re- gardless of what was paid by anybody else, and the act makes this offense pun ishable by fine, which may be as much as s5 900 for each instance where the tar- if rate has been departed from.
 "The commission seems to have made Investigations upon the subject, not to enforce the act, but simply to advertise it's contention that the act is not enforce able. Moreover. no part of. the new power now asked by the commission would have the remotost tendency to prevent this rate cutting. and this report shows that this is now the eyii to be con tended with. 4E

According to the schedule of rates au- thorized by the Southeastern Passenger Association, the rates of one and third fare to New Orleans Mobile and Pensa- cola on account of the carnivals were put on sale at the Union ticket office yester- day morning. The tickets are limited until the 18th. Saturday week, though by paying 50 cents extra passenger can have them extended. The biggest part of the rush out of Montgomery will be next Sunday night as .Mardi Gras Day will be on Tuesday, the 11th. good many Montgomerfans have already gone to New Orleans, however, and these wise ones will very probably be the only meni- bers of the local colony able to get rooms of any kind. A Montgomery man who returned from New Orleans last night says that the hotels there are filled to oyerfowing. while the boarding houses are rapidly getting into the same con gested condition. The first installment of local people left for New Orleans at Il 15 yesterday morning and from now until next Monday night the southbound Louls- vile and Nashville trains will be pretty we'll filled with Montgomery people. For some days there has been pretty heavy through travel through Montgomery, the coaches and Pullmans on the southbound trains have beea filled, the rush not be- ing heavy enough, however. to Justify extra sections of trains. Last night the Western with the Southern's connection from the East came in with an unusual ly heavy travel, and with pretty heavy travel on the southbound Louisville and Nashville train the result was the first really big rush of the mardi gras season

 The following special from Louisville will be interesting to local railroad people:
 Louisville, Ky. Feb. 2.--That the Inter- state Commerce Commission Is itself to blame for the rate cutting which 1t con- demns in its last annual report is the claim made by Walker D. Hines, first vice-president of the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad Company in a pamphlet which he has just issued.
 MT. Hines has given special attention to this subject. His contention Is in sub stance as fellows:
 The commission endeavors. as it has done for years. to excite support for its demand for more power by describing the prevalence of secret rate cutting. It held new Investigations at Chicago and Kansas City to disclose conditions which 1t has known for years, delaying the publication of its report so as to give the results of these hearings.
 "The indisputable fact must be kept before the public that the prevalence Of rate cutting is an unanswerable argu- ment against giving the commission more power because it is due principally to the utter failure to perform It's manifest duty.
 "The paramount purpose of the law was to secure publicity and the main- tenance of tariff rates. It Is the express duty of the commission to keep advised and enforce the law. It las the widest possible powers of investigation, lnclud- ing the right to call for the production of all books, documents and papers. and 1t can require the District Attorneys of the United States to prosecute all vio- ators. These powers have been upheld by the courts The commission. however, has not only fail,d to devote its time and energy to discovering and prosecuting violators of the law, but it has b. it's supinc ness acquI; seed in and encou Aged them. and has dohe-ail in It's power to break down the force of the act and make 1t dead letter by constantly pro- that the courts have made it's impossible. Whereas not a single decision has impaired the commits sion's power 10 prevent rate cutting.

HOME OF THE EASTER LILY.
bermuda, Once Called "The Isle of
DEVILS" CuriousIy Enough Bears
This Distinction.

There is a striking analogy in the
fact that Bermuda, the home of the
Easter lily, was called, on its discovery,
the Isle of Devils"
Although the lilies of Bermuda-the
fields white with their satiny leaves,
the air heavy with their fragrance
have been known and loved by all Wis
itors to the ''isles of summer" they
did not become Easter lilies" until
so recently as 1875. 1t is said that
they were introduced into the United
States in that year by an American
woman who brought a few plants to q
Philadelphia florist. Charmed by the
beauty of the flowers, he cultivated the
plants carefully from the buns until
he had q number. Other florists pur-
chased from him. then bulbs were i'm
ported from Bermuda, and now the
lily is grown here profusely in gil the
hothouseS.
The tremendous growth in th- last
25 years in the custom of celebrating
Easter by decoration of churches and
homes has made expectation of the
bulbs one of the principal industries
of Bermuda, as the lily of that coun-
try became associated by natural Sc
lection" with Easter. It's beautiful
chnlice, its delicacy of form and color.
its mystic perfume, all tend to sug-
gest the fresh, pure beauty of spring
and its herald. Easter.
The lily fields are not exceedingly
large, as a rule, and seldom contain
more than few acres. The largest
bulbs are sent to London and New
York, as they command the highest
prices in those cities. The bulbs of
medium size also are exported, the
planters reserving only the smallest
for their own use e.--N. Y. Trihnne
