HE SECONDS THE MOTION

1t is fact, patent to all observing
people, that the farming interest of
this section Of country is not only get
ting to be, but is already at low ebb,
and the future prospect of our farm
ers is anything but encouraging, while
it is true tAst, with very favorable
seasons, we made 'Ene cotton crops
last year! and realized , handsome sum
Of money for it. 1t is also true that
our tired and worn out lands admor
ish as that such another setton crop
for several years 10 come is very I'm
certain. 1t is an admitted fact that
oar crops have been growing bsauti-
fully less ever since the close of the
war, and that We are getting poorer
every year. Many of our farmers are
owsers of large bodies of exhausted
laad, which does now or soon will
laugh at their futile efforts to produce
q crop sufficient to pay taxes and feed
the old woman and little ones.

Memphis Avalanche: Between 9 and
1Oo'clock last night a dastardly attempt
was made to commit an outrage on
the person of little white girl only
IL years old. She lives with her
parents on Over.on street, between
Main and Front, and while hurrying
home from neighboring grocery to
which the had been sent, was ove-ta-
ken by a negro, who, after asking her
a question or two, seized the child and
attempted to drag her into alley.
Her screams brought her mother to
the spot and the rascal fed. 1t was
fortunate escape for the intended VIC
tim, but unfortunately she was too
frightened to retain a recollection of
he scoundrels features.

A New Recourse Against DeIin-
queat Tax Payers.

The Chancsry Court has no juris-
diction in cases where the amount In
volvsd 10 less than $50. and, accord
ing to the Code, justices Of the Peace
have jurisdiction in amounts under
$50, where lien is to be enforced or
ether equity is to be disposed Of" but
for ssms reasons there has never been
a case brought in this state to test the
question, whether the Legislature re-
ally intended that magistrates should
have jurisdiction to enforce liens, a.
aortgsges and the like, by sale, and
BY such DEGREES as the Chsncery court
could render.
There are a large mum Der Of per-
sons owing back taxes, the amount of
which is lees than ESQ, and a case has
been tried before Justice Brown,
heard on appeal by the Circuit Court
and taken to the Supreme Court seek
ing the Sc nae relief that the Chsncery
Court has granted in the various tax
cases. The question will probably be
argued in the Supreme Court soon
and is creating no little stir among the
attorneys.
Should the Supreme Court affirm
the construction of thelaw as given by
Judge Reid in the Circuis Court
that the law is constitutionsl-is will
save srgs costs which would accrue
in bringing suit agsinst the delinquent
Taxpayers ia the Chancery Court
