INJUNCTION GRANTED

Before Special Judge J. S. Gallo
way, of the Shelby County Circuit
Court, to-day, an injunction was
granted to Mr.. Speers, legally restrain
ing the State board of health and
other authorities from interfering with
the movement Of seed cotton on the
highwaysleading to the city. This ac-
ton of Judge Galloway whatever may
be thought of it by those beyond will
meet the hearty approval of large
majority Of people within and near
our city. The legal technicalities will
doubtless be argued at some future
day when a final decision regarding
one Of the most oppressive acts of the
times will be fully decided upon. For
the present the lines are open to cot
ton growers desiring to have their
seed cotton ginned here. The case
was argued before Judge Galloway by
Judge w. s. Flippin in behalf of Mr..
Speers and by General G. w. Gordon
for the State board of health and
others.

NOTICE TO ABSENTEES.
W. J. SMITH,
1WARD Association

MEMPHIS, September %, 1879.
EREQUENT applications being made to
IL the Board Of Health and Superintendent
Of Quarantine by absentees from here to re-
turn, we deem it best to make this public an
nouncement, that, though the number of new
cases Of yellow fever and deaths are small
and perceptibly on the decline, it would not
be safe for those who have not had the dis
ease to return yet.
The comparatively small number of new
cases and deaths is due to the fact that there
are so few unaeclimated people here.
Those who have had the fever and wish to
return will be permitted to do so, and will
be furnished certificate to that effect on ap-
plication to the Superintendent of Quaran-
tine. None others will be permitted to enter
Memphis before it is officially announced BY
the Board of Health that it is thought there
is no longer danger from the infection, which
will be done at the earliest possible day.

ACTIVITY EvERYwHrRr

Cotton mills throughout the South
are running day and night, and yet are
inadequate to the demands upon
them. Brisk business is reported all
around us. Our time will come after
a while,and when it does, there will be
as much of a rush here as anywhere.
just now Nashville is especially ae-
tive, trade and work of every kind
being larger and more animated than
has been known for many years. The
American says this increase is noticed
in the increase of freight arrivals, in
creased passenger travel, the erection
of new buildings, the discussion of
new enterprises, and that merchants
and clerks are busy the day through.
These are hopeful signs of better
times it is so much hoped may come
to every part Of the country.

the statements of the vice president
day later, when the latter said :

money they put it into the very bottom
of the deepest pocket they have. They
intend to buy but little next year and
pay cash for all they buy. Crops are
short in this county on account of the
excessive drouth, and of late the
rust passes along and Injuries crops a

The form which the opposition to

doubtless, be worth many thousand

for Governor Robinson's vote outside

degree as to elect him independently
of New York. Governor Tilden was
elected in 1874 without the aid of that

philadelphia Times!

Philadelphia Times.
Our local cotton mills are all run
ming full time, and their capacity par
ticularly for coarse goods, is being
increased largely. The fabrication of
cheviots, cottOnades, cassimeres, osna-
burgs, ginghams, tickings and of so.
called Philadelphia goods, as we'll as
of cloth, grows steadily in answer to a
growing demand. Cotton warps Tor
carpets, too, are in more demand; so
that, although we export little and no
longer supply Pittsburg, Lancaster.
Harrisburg and Baltimore as once
with raw cotton, the consumption here
steadily grows. The low price reached
by manipulation last year is not likely
to recur but as the market is lightly
stocked with manufactured goods and
the crop is an average in size and Of
fair quality, and some foreign mills
are stopping, it is probable that we
shall handle and manufacture more
than last year. For the last twenty
years the port has distributed about
two hundred thousand bales annually;
and it is now spinning more, Prints
are in such demand at better prices as
to employ all of our four works, and
some OF them are running over time
with advanced wages. Superiority in
durability and style has conquered
foreign fabrics and made exportation
probable at no remote day. Already
some lots have been placed in South
America and elsewhere, and have
elected orders.

statesman, with earnest, smileless
face, quietly knocked them down.
Ruskin, slightly nettled, fell back ON
a little quiet chaff, and managed to
retreat in good order, for Gladstone

same way that he would one of Sir
Statford's arguments-and of course
came to grief in the attempt.

germs floating in the apartment.

less the-vcsscl5 are tight. When
ever practical, all distributing
reservoirs should be covered.
Filtcring always adds 10 the pu-
rity of the water. Drinking
water should not be taken from
lakes or rivers on a low level.
Surface water, OF water in lakes,
pools or rivers, which receive
the surface wash, should be u
voided as much as possible. Do
not drink much water ut a time.
More I than two tumblerfuls
should not be taken at q meal.
Do not drink between meals

whether of water or other fluid,
relax the stomach, impair It's Sc
