NEW DEPARTURE
The Memphis Cotton Exchange Opens
its BO0rs 10 All business Men.

The Memphis Cotton Exchange has re-
solved upon such a change as will open the
way for all manufacturers and merchants to
join. The following circular, which is self
explanatory, has been addressed to all banks,
insurance companies, manufacturers and
merchants interested in the prosperity of
Memphis:
Permit us to call your attention to the
fact that the Memphis Chamber of Com
merce has ceased to exist, and now the only
organized body representing the business in
terests of Memphis is the Cotton Exchange,
to which all matters pertaining to the com
merciaI prosperity of the city are referred
and discussed; and there is no other organi-
cation through which to present them to the
public. As the country adjacent TO Memphis
produces little else than cotton for market,
all of our banks, insurance companies, man
ufacturers and merchants Of every c!s-- de-
pend on that product and the quantity
brought to this market Tor their business.
For this reason we feel justified in urging
them as duty to aid in making the
Exchange more efficient, and in giving it
wider influence by becoming mem
bera. We believe that Memphis has entered
upon new career of prosperity, aud it Is Of
vital importance that We have live organi-
cation OF business men to consider all ques-
lions Of public interest, and no other can take
the place of the Cotton Exchange Daring
the past year a number of the leading bust
ness houses here, not engaged in the cotton
business, approaching the Importance Of sus-
tanning the Exchange, became members.
Within few days a committee will wait upon
you, and we trust you may be prepared to
make application for membership. Very
respectfully, -
President Memphis Cotton Exchange

At the top of the Courson box is pocket

box seven and a half inches square
in the face and back, by three inches
deep, with glass front and back. This box
contains two glass shelves arranged at oppo-
site angles which passes the money in such
direction as to prevent the withdrawal OF
money, by wire or otherwise, back through
the receiver. Laying close on TO the glass
shelves are brass arrow guides 10 throw the
money to the center of the box. Beneath,
and in ready communication, is a glass wheel
containing ten glass pockets. This wheel is
controlled by pilot wheel ad joining, and on
the outside of the box, which allows the
driver to examine each fare when thrown in
and to revolve the wheel so as to separate
each passengers fare and deposit the money
in box below, where the spotter may ex-
anime the money before allowing it TO pass
into the cast-iron safe below. The lighting
of this box is by lamp, independently at
tached on the outside, which prevents the |
smoking Of the glass within the box. Mr. |
Courson has also attached to the cash box |
drivers companion" which occupies the |
blank space in front of the cast-lron cash |
box, and permits the driver to separate his
money and make change rapidly, and with |
safety and ease. The drivers companion" |
can be removed and conveniently carried on |
the person of each driver while off duty. |
The whole ia a most ingenious, neat and |
practicable piece OF mechanism, which re-
fleets the highest credit on the inventor, Mr.. |
C. F. Courson, who has applied for patent.

THE COUNTY COURT.
A Bartlett Correspondent in Answer
10 the Appeals Criticism.

BARTLETT, Tenn, January %. 1882
| To thetEditors oil the Appeal:
Recently l saw in your paper an editorial
which suggested that the business of our
county could bc more economically and Judi
| ciousiy dispatched by three or more commits
sloners than as at present administered by a
court composed OF magistrates of the entire
county. The County Court of Shelby county
deserves much credit for the financial condi-
ton of the county to-day. We had taste
OF the county's business in the hands of FIVE
commissioners Just after the war, and it does
| not require the recollection of the oldest
| inhabitant 10 associate the doings of those
commissioners with many "big Jobs and
transactions which were severely condemned.
"By their works We shall know them" Con-
irast the work of the commissioners with
the court OF magistrates and the record is de-
cidedly in favor OF the latter. The present
County Court is above the average of
intelligence, and in its body are to be found
men who are noted for business tact and
quick discernment. The county's business
does not suffer in their hands. The court
succeeded the commission when the county
scrip worth less than fifty cents upon
the dollar, and by good legislation and
economy perched upon its banner, to-day
Shelby county scrip is worth dollar for
dollar, thus showing that in the administra-
ton of the county affairs by the magistrate
it has been wholly for the good of the public
1t could not be otherwise, for the honest
magistrate coming up from the people, being
true representative OF the people, no axes
to grind and no compensation for his labors,
he is interested only to that degree and ex-
tent in the advancement of his county's well
fare that any other good citizen could posi-
bly, be. The County Court as now admins
tered scarcely costs over $4,000 per annum,
when, If three commissioners did the work,
they would demand twice that sum. Then
again, small body is more easily reached
and overcome by influential lobbyists than
