IT'S QUARTERLY MEETING.
The State Board of Health and lis
Deliberations.

The State board Of health met at
Nashville yesterday, and according to
kilograms in the morning papers all
of its members were present, even to
that of our late fellow-cltizen, DR.. 4.
B. Maury. Mr.. John johnson figured
prominently, of course, and he mod
estly declined the compliment of a
vote of thanks for heroic conduct and
other splendid qualities displayed
here in behalf of his very liberal pay
and the State and National boards Of
health interests. The Hon. John
begged them to don't, and they
took it back. DR.. Maury also ten
dered his resignation once again in a
very feeble manner. 1t was again not
accepted, and thereby hangs a tale
which may one day be told, but just
now is in embryo as it were, and must
remain in the meal tub until a cat is
let in. Mr.. johnson told how he had
disinfected $500 acres of Memphis, On
the map, spread 1891 barrels of lime
about peoples yards (its Settlement
would make a horse laugh to look at
it, and it is yet to be seen just as his
hired men strewed it about, and he
also related the splendid effect
of his solutions of copperas sprinkled
to the extent of 10, 100 pounds weight,
all poured into 9l71 pit holes found in
1896 back yards and other quiet cor
ners. Mr.. Johnson also advocated
inspections, because he says wherever
they have prevailed no fever has APP
peared. He has expended $40, De- 24
in cash out of the half million appro-
priated by congress and he owes 5000.
This of curse includes lawyer hire,
telegraphic tolls and other incidentals,
Much more was developed by the
board, not previously known, but as
their main efforts appear to
be to study how to draw pay
and continue in Office there is not
much good likely to result to the
public, from their great devotion to
duty, out of the yellow fever line. OF
the numerous plans suggested to aid
Memphis and regenerate it and kill
out yellow fever, all seemed to look
toward something to be done in the
future by legislative action. The
State board of health has done many
supremely ridiculous acts since it has
been in power, but none appears II ore
so than does an effort on their part to
shape future legislative action.

The farmers now are very busily
engage in housing tobacco, picking
cotton and sowing wheat, and all la
borers who are willing to work find
plenty to do. Reasonable prices are
paid for labor. Farming stock are in
fine condition and doing well. The
dry weather which has prevailed
throughout the State for the past week
or two has brought out the cotton
finely, securing to the planters unusu-
ally large crops. This staple is now
considered out of danger. The wealth
er, however, has been rather too dry
for the planting of wheat, a large crop
of which will be sown this fall. The
sorghum crop is larger than usual and
very fine. Tobacco has come out
wonderfully-far exceeding the ex-
p%ectations of many planters a
month ago. There will be a very
large yield of corn, making up
in many respects for the damage done
by the dry weather in July.

at this date last year the yellow

fever was not announced until the
second week in August, at least a
month later than this year. In 1873
the deaths at this time were about the
same as this season, yet the fever had
then only been with US thirty days.
We had a crowded population that
year.

heads from this time last year. There
may still be more tobacco in the coun-

was there this time last year, but we
have drawn fully as much or more
from new trade, and we can now safely
