What's sauce for the goose is sauce Lfor tho gander is an aphorism which maybe taken in a practical senae many times and. while so much is being said " about the shifting nuisance on the A.' and N. C, road we wish to suggest that there are others. ' The Atlantic Coast Line railroad tua long been switching backward and fur- ward on its tracks on Queen street and ' the people affected by it on account of the noise, dirt and smoke have allowed it to be one of their daily crosses and have meekly gone about their work . making no complaint, although the nuisance of the Atlandic Coast Line ia just as bad as that of the A. and N. C. 5 It seems that the ordinance of the city fathers relative to the shifting of cars ought to extend to the A. C. L. s well as the A. and N. C. The freight trains are in the habit of coming, into the station at almost any time of the, night and the wheezy and rheumatic old engines puffing and blowing can not help but cause a great deal of dis comfort. ' Then it is not an unusual pbing. for the engines to run off the track and that always makes a bad matter worse. But an accident like a derailment can be overlooked but the constant din, dangerous conditions and altogether disagreeable features of shifting have got past the endurance ' of those who Kve neighbors to the At lantic Coast Line yard. Complaint has been made a good deal of late but it is , likely the company will assume that as people have stood it so loeg they should not begin to kick at -this late day. - , , V CABBAGE, Cabbage, Henderson's early summer grown in Florida, and for sale by C.
