TERRELL COUNTY
IN INJUNCTION SUIT
JOINS WITH OTHERS IN ACTION
AGAINST DISTRIBUTION CON-
VICTS ON ROAD MILEAGE.

The Commissioners of Terrell
County have joined Butts and other
counties in the suit to enjoin the
prison commission from distributing
state convicts to the various counties
on road mileage, as required by an
act of the legislature.
The petition of the Butts County
Commissioners seeks to compel the
prison commission in apportioning the
state convicts to the various coun-
ties to disregard mileage of city
streets. The convicts, under the
present law, are to be apportioned
to each county according to road
mileage and the question at issue is
whether or not the street mileage
in cities shall be included.
In a suit brought by the Fulton
County Commissioners to enjoin the
prison commission from distributing
convicts under the road mileage law,
Judge T. Pendleton of the Fulton
superior court, passed an order re-
quiring the prison commission to in
clude the street mileage in computing
the road mileage in the various coun-
ties and the Butts county petition is
brought in an effort to set this order
aside.
If the convicts are finally distrib-
uted according to road mileage Ter
rell will lose number of men.

ing government control is not available. If 100-
600 cars were scrapped each year, and only 1OO-
900 cars were constructed in the two years of fed
eral control the total number of cars in shape
for use in January l, 1920 was 100000 or 1OO,-
900 cars less than the number in use January 1,
1918.
"The car situation is about as serious as it
possibly could be. No orders have been placed
COR 1920 constructions none VIII be placed by the
government and it is not likely that any will be
placed by the corporations until the lines actually
are returned to them for operation. 1t would re-
quire high grade of optimism to>prompt one to
guess that 100000 freight cars could be con-
structed in time for next fall, even if orders
were placed in the spring, considering the demand
for other kinds of construction work. and the con-
dition of the market which materials must be
purchased"
Secretary of Agriculture Meredith, in state
ment few days ago, said he believed part of the
high cost of living is to be attributed to weak
nesses in the distribution system. It does not
require far look into the future to hazard a
guess that if the railroads cannot provide the
farmers with cars to handle the 1920 crops, prices
instead of declining will rapidly soar.
The railroads will be hard pressed to replenish
the freight cars that are so badly needed now.
Government control of the lines was not accom-
panied by brilliant success. The freight car sit
uation is another contribution to the general
fault that was found with federal control.

people who have made statements

said Grover Lambert, "a South Sixth

About a year ago, while the Flu was
going the rounds, she had a very SER
ious case. I thought she would never
recover and when she did finally get
up she was as weak as baby and
nothing seemed to help her regain
any strength. She was left without
any appetite and such a badly de-
ranged stomach that she could hardly
eat anything. She complained of
dali pain in her. stomach and suffered
all the time with indigestion. Her
kidneys bothered her constantly and
her back panied her SO severely that
she could hardly stand. it. She could
neither cook our meals or do any Of
her homework and had to remain in
bed for weeks at a time. She was SO
nervous that the door bell or telephone
ringing. Or just any little noise, would
upset her.
"She felt discouraged and despond-
ent and several times l was worried
sick because her chances of recovery
seemed so slim. But, some wonderful
things happen in this world and the
way Tanlac has helped her is one Of
them. One afternoon while looking
over the paper I noticed Tanlac rec
commended so highly that, I bought a
I bottle. The first bottle did not seem
to help her much, but after taking the
second bottle I noticed some differ
ence in the way she rested at night,
and by the time she had finished her
fifth bottle she was an entirely differ
ent woman. She can eat anything she
wants, as much as she wants, without
the least trouble from it, Her nerves
have quieted down until she sleeps
the whole night through and gets up
mornings Dragging about feeling so
fine. She is now doing all her house
work including tine cooking and we
sit down and enjoy our meals together
like We did in the good old days be-
fore she was taken sick. She has a
good healthy color and can tell from
the way her face has filled out that
she has gained several pounds in
weight. She says life is worth living
now and words cannot express the
gratitude I really feel over what

The Car Shortage

The number of new cars needed to handle

try is estimated at from 100000 to half mil

in 1919 was 100000. None was constructed in
1913 q ~ --~.

the freight ear shortage, found that there were
2,4O0000 freight cars in use when the govern
