Another Fire i'm Edge7eId,

named Samuel Casey, located in the rear of
the Methodist (colored) church in Edgefeld.

ed, including all the clothing belonging to
Casey and bis wife, cooking utensil-, bed
ding etc. Casey recovered $35 in silver that
be had in trunk after the building had
burnt o the ground, but he had in the
same place some paper money that was
consumed. He also got out his watch af-
forwards, but it was found to be In a worth
less condition. At one time he church, q
large one, was in danger of being destroyed,
but was saved BY extra exertion on the part

Special Meeting of che BOARD Of
Trade.

e Trade.
A special meeting of the Nashville Board
of Trade was held at IL O'Clock, A. NJ
yesterday, for the purpose of considering
the propriety of printing for free distribu-
ton large number of copies of the valu.
able letter of Enoch Ensley, Esq, of Mem
phis, relative TO taxation, which letter sp-
peared in the daily UNION AND AMERICAN
last week, and will be republished in our
Weekly this week.
Upon being called to order, the Board
was addressed by President Hensley, who
explained the object OF the meeting, speak
ing in the highest terms of the letter Of Mr..
Ensley, and recommended that the Boar,
take steps to aid In the wide circulation of
said letter, as he considered it the most
valuable paper on taxation ever published.
After some discussion, the following com
mittee was appointed to secure the publica-
ton of 10000 copies of the letter, in circu-
lar form; j. j. Mcrsnn, Geo. Cunningham
and John Orr.
The committee was instructed to take
entire charge Of the matter, seeing to the
printing and mailing of the circulars.
IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.
The following report in relation to Nash
vile imports was read and adopted:
Il. G. Hensley, Esq, President Board of
Trade, Dear sir: Your committee TO whom
was referred the subjects of imports and
exports, have spared no pains 10 arranging
and placing at your command the informa-
ton desired.
We regret the reports may look meagre
in soma particulars, but when you remem-
Der the field assigned us and that the great
bulk of our business Is domestic, you will
appreciate our officially, ct least to some ex-
tent, In preparing full and satisfactory re
port on imports and exports.
For ressens good snd sufficient, as we
think, we have attached the report of each
committee as prepared by them, and placed
before you.
The annual review of the trade and com.
merce of Nashville for the year ending Aug.
81, 1873, shows the amount to be $50,000,-
600. 1t is undoubtedly true that q much
larger portion of the amount should be
placed to the credit of imports and exports
than your committee has made it, owing
to the difficulty in getting all the facts in
the limited time allowed us.
With free appreciation Of the great i'm
portance to us of a through line to Liver
pool, we are yours respectfully,
j. w. SHARPE,
Chairman,
Z. 4. PARSONS,
Secretary.

How Do Won FeeI3

The fervid heats of summer are now over. In
what condition have they left your Isyour liver
torpid or disOrdered, your appetite feeble, your
digestion imperfect or painful, your nervous sys-
tenn shaky, your mind lethargic? This is the
state in which the autumn finds tens of thous-
ands OF us, and in this state we are ripe for the
malarious fevers, and bowel complaints, and
bilious diseases, which the heavy dews, the va
pors, and the vast difference between the tenn
perature Of night and day are apt to engender
Rouse yourself from this condition with Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. Wake up the latent vi
taIity of the body, which only requires the slim
ulatfng, strengthening and regulating agency of
this mighty vegetable restorative to enable it to
resume its activity and potency. Indigestion,
biliousness, miasmatie fsvers and disorders of
the bowels, are the usual sequences of long
heated term. Prevent or cure them with the
Bitters. You can do either, but prevention is
best.

Served Him Right.

Lebanon, in this State, numbers among
its citizens worthless character, who not
only fails utterly to provide for bis family, but
also abuses his bedridden wife ard an aged
aunt who lives with him. The neighbors
have been assisting the family for some time
and the man has been offered work, but
this he manifested no inclination to accept.
One night last week party of six. mask
ed men met Chis mere semblarce or man
on the Public Square of that town, whipped
him soundly and told him that if be didn't
provide for his family in the future, he
would be given another dose of the same
descriptiOn.

The Reported Abuses of the Law for
Collecting Back Taxes-Letter from
Lawyer Who Ought to Know.
To the Union and American:
JASPER, TENN, Sept. 4.--As the COL
umns OF the Peoples FaVorite" have ever
been open to vindicate truth, beg permits
sion to offer your readers the following re-
ply to ga. FL. S." One clause in his
communication leaves no room to doubt
that L am the Zone horse lawyer" referred
to; hence, | feel that / should answer him.
He says be knows of some instance in this
county where, after party found that q
bill had been fled against him, he at once
proved that the taxes had been paid to the
tax collector, and also produced bis receipts,
and after the eminent lawyer was convinced
OF this, his answer was that the State should
pay him $40 for his time and trouble for
hling the bill" will just say that If Mr..
"A. IL. S"makes bis assertion upon infor-
nation, he is innocently mistaken; If he
makes it upon his own responsibility,
it is incorrect both as to myself and Col. A.
Q.Griffith who was Revenue Commissioner.
No man in Marion county has ever offered
me any evidence that one cent Of bis taxes
mad been paid. Two men came TO me and
said they had receipts; one l have not seen
since, and the other failed to show his re-
ceipts when called on. IN regard to insert
ing names that have paid, claim first, that
it is very doubtful If have single one.
Second, that if have, it is the fault of the
State officials; filed the bills from trans-
cript of the record in the Comptroller's
office and if there is error in that record,
whose fault is itp Certainly not mine. In
regard to his second statement about my
charging the $40, every man in the State
knOluS that it would make no difference if
were to charge twenty dollars or twenty
thousand; the Chancery Court regulates
my fees In the case. But even admit that
l did say it, show me the lawyer in this
State who would take q Chancery Court
case Of any description for less. Sequatch-
lie Sun please copy.

THE CROPS,

The wheat crop has long since been gath
cred, and the commission merchants are
busy shipping to the iDproyiCent planters
of Georgia and Alabama. Two fins in
this place have shipped over seventy-fve
car loads of this cereal. The corn crop is
over an average. Cotton, to a great ex-
tent, has been tabood. The farmer finds
that it pays better to raise bis own stock and
grain than to depend upon an uncertain
cotton crop for his sustensnce. This
county raises some of the finest stock to be
found in the State. Horses and mules are
selling at low prices. The depressed fnan-
cial condition Of the country has prevented
the appearance q al but a few buyers.
We have one consolation, however our
farmers are all in good condition, and are
out OF debt. j. II,
