NOW To BUSINESS.

Jhe summer vacation, the season for tenn
porsry release from cares and work, the pc
riod for recreation, idleness and pleasure,
ended yesterday, and this morning every
man, woman and child engaged in the avo-
actions Of life are at their posts, full of ill.,
dustry, energy and sanguine of the future
prosperity Of themselves and the city. There
can be no question that all who have wisely
improved their vacation are the better for
it meutallE, morally and physically. Ner-
vous energy has become a national charac-
teristic. Business men are now nothing un-
less charged with mental and physical cleo
tricity. They are compelled, in the great
whirl of business life, to think quickly,
speak quickly and act quickly. SIowness
cannot be tolerated in any form. Aud this
spirit is not confined to the great cities,
where life's friction is constant and exciting
1t pervades towns, villages and rural life.
Many farmers have caught the spirit of pro-
gress, and are pushing forward relatively as
rapidly as the men in the great commercial
marfs. We congratulate the business
people of Memphis, whatever their
avocatiou, on the favorable auspices with
which they enter upon the new business year.
The rush for business is unprecedented, and
our advertising columns this morning will
show that our people have returned to business |
with new resolves, perseverance and deter |
mination. There is every reason for hope |
fitness as to the future. All are inspired |
with the knowledge that hard times and |
epidemics have passed. Things are palpably |
on the mend. Business is improving all |
along the line, there is demand for labor, |
real estate is steadily appreciating. 1t takes
many men of varying minds to constitute
prosperous city. Here there is a standing
place for every mans special aptitude. 1t is
his highest concern to find out just where
and what it is, and then go ahead. With
The right use of the multiplicity OF
talents which men are endowed, it
will surely Come in the end that no
source of material wealth will be long
neglected. With every man in his right !
place, doing bis right work, the aggregate .
wealth of the whole people will be most
enhanced TO the highest attainable

MOREHEAD.

President of the National Cotton Planters'
Association, is one of the men to whom the
South owes something more than formal
words of approval. For ten years he has la
bored in one groove, steadily and persistenily
in the interest of the planters, not only as
sugar, tobacco, rice and cotton, but as grass
and grain-growers and stock-raisers. He
found them restricted and old fogy, and he
has nationalized and regenerated them. The
Atlanta Exposition, which has done so much
for North Georgia, is proof that his methods
have not been faulty nor his industry and
TACT misdirected. This year he has turned
mis- attention to Little Rock; next
year he will come to Memphis.

woman in black, was found this morning and

good looking. Her name is Maggie Kappel,
and che is twenty-five years OF age, single,
and resides at No. lbs Park avenue, Brook

this city. She said she did not steal the
child, but found her in Greenwich street,
New York. She did not read the papers,
and she knew ro;hing of the whereabouts Of
the parents. Her arrest was brought about
through information given TO Detective Han

who knew her and was with her Monday
night when she had the child. She did not
reach home with the little girl until 1 o'clock
this morning. The detective, at o'clock,

Belle Boyd Brought 10 Grief.

PHILADELPHIA, August 3I-For months
q female alleged swindler who las bsffied
! the combined intellect of the new detective
system, has been carrying on Il series Of
crooked operations in this city. She has,
however, st last been discovered, though not
by any ingenuity on the part Of the police
authorities. Some few months ago an at
traetive lady visited grocery dealer, near
Twentieth street and Washington avenue.
She ordered goods to the amount of Sl1, and
IN payment therefor rendered a check for
S25. The grocery man, not thinking that
such a ladyIIke person would be gully of
dishonesty, handed her, after keeping S1l for
the goods, S14. The goods were ordered 10
be delivered at The house OF one of his
best customers, and his establishment NAV
we'll be imagined when, on going
there, the lady OF the house refused
10 take the goods, as she had not
ordered them. II was then that the uBwary
dealer discovered the check to be worthless.
He traced the woman to the northern part
OF the city, and there discovered that she
was none other than Belle Boyd, 1liGs Mrs.
HardInge, alas Mrs. Hammond, the notOri-
Gus Confederate SOY OF the Shenandoah
valley. She has resided at No. 1916 North
Twelfth street for some time. Her husband,
Colonel Hammond, of the Confederate army,
Is employed by a silk company of Boston as
travelling salesman. Another of the woman's
victims Is n. Watson, carrying GA business
as provision merchant az the corner OF
Eleventh and Norris streets. Hinkle q Cole
man, at the corner of Cam2c and Norris
streets, have a claim against the daring
spy OF s95. The grocery man at the
corner of Camac snd Diamond streets
mourns over an unpaid bill of SIS
The way in which her real name and
character were discovered was through
inquiry At the re-tslAnce of gentleman 10
whom she always recommended her victims

victimized merchant that "Mrs II am mond,"
alas "Relle Boyd" was not to be trusted
She obtained two pianos from manufacturers
TO satisfy her musical taste. When the frs
monthly insialiment fell due the collector
called every day for a week, bat could no5
see the mistress. At last he forced 4 way
into the house and found that the pianos had
been pawned. One of them was recovered
in pawnbroker's office at a cost OF $40.
The other one has not been found. How
many people this notorious woman has vic
tImized 1t Is 1t present hard TO estimate
She was on Saturday arrested for offering
forged check on pawnbroker for goods she
had pledged. She was afterward released,
the money being made good by her friends |
Further important developments are AZ

In their desperation the boilers resort to
all sorts Of vagaries. They have no respect
! for the popular will, and propose to settle
the State debt to suit themselves and the
; bondholders in defiance of the protests of
> the people. The Democratic party of Ten
nessee is the dominant party, and in the
; June convention it incorporated in its plat
form the following plank:
That the Democrats of Tennessee, with their
, majority OF the popular vote. are the rightful
guar ANS 81 tne nonor ana good name o1 the
G1 ITEM er from a n6 Or dni s
TO settle its indebtedness.
The boilers deny the position taken in this
de:iverance, and insist that msjority OF the
people are the rightful guardians. Indeed
this plank of the Bate platform is ridiculed
as an absurdity-something new and unusual
in the politics of the country. Bat to show
that the boilers are either inexcusably
ignorant or wilfully misstate the f4cts, we
give the extracts below. The Democratic
party OF Arkansas met in Stale convention
in July last and adopted the following pre-
amble and resolution part of its plat
form:
WHEREAS, In every republican form of govern
ment, having political parties, the party in power
by the suffrage of the people is the party who is
responsible for the public welfare; and, whereas,
the people therefore look to it to guard their in
terests and take up all questions in which they
are interested, and to ssttle them in such manner
as best to subserVe the public veal; and whereas.
the question of proper disposition OF fraudu-
OF greater magnitude and of deeper concern to the
people of Arkansas, and to their children after
them, than any other question that ever presented
therefore
Reso,ved. That it is the duty of the Democratic
Il in accordance with The best Interests of the State
and the wishes of her citizens.
Thus it will be seen that the Democracy of
Arkansas believe with the Democrats of
Tennessee, that the party which has major
ity of the popular vote is the rightful guar
dian of the honor and good name of the
State. The Republicans of Arkansas concur
in this opinion, as they propose to fasten
upon the Democratic party the responsibility
OF legislation. The Republicans OF Arkan-
sas held a State convention at Little Rock in
July last, and we make the following extract
from the platform they adopted:
rae co1rvcurICn
seim is make the iollSying declaration and
of government having political parties, the party
in power by tie sutfrages of the people is the one
responsible for the public welfare; therefore,
Resolved, That we arraign and hold responsible |
the Democratic party of Arkansas
The boilers and the Tennessee Ropubli-
cans repudiate the position taken by the
Arkansas Democrats aud Republicans and |
the Tennessee Democrats in the June con- |
vention. But SO coon as General Bate is |
elected governor they will watch his admin
and while giving him no credit for
what it commendable will make him and |
his supporters responsible for all mistakes
and unwise legislation.

the Jockey Club is, and be prepared fer
something even better than the Atlanta Ex-
position. He proposes an exhibition in
conjunction with the Arkansas State fair,
which, though it cannot equal the Atlanta
affair, will, nevertheless, be of great interest
to the people of that State, Northern Louis
lana and Texas. The premiums offered
amount to 81, 900, and will no doubt engen-
der very active competition among manu-
ufzcturers, planters and sock-raisers. There

The annual meeting of the National Plant
ers' Association will be held at the same
time, and questions of special moment
will be discussed and determined. The
labor system of the South is upon
a happy and contented basis, while it
is fact that nowhere in the Union is the
agricultural laborer so energetically working
for and improving his condition or 30 rap
idly rising above il. liberalization of
crops has gained headway, and in many of
the fields we now tud the most nutritious
grasses, corn, wheat, OATS and other cereals
growing. The change from all cotton has
been gradual, but it has been steady and
sure. The growth in manufactures has been
equally as gratifying. Our own capitalists
have at last realized that we have the
richest coal and iron fields on the continent;
that cotton can be manufactured cheaper in
the South than in New England; that in
stead of 100000 spindles, the South could
just as well have 100000, and make the
handsome profit of from fifteen TO twenty
two per cent that mills can be run cheaply
by the abundant water power and
cheaper labor. Hence the rapid advance
in Tennessee, Alabama, Virginia, Georgia
and South Carolina, particularly in the
manufacture OF iron and OF cotton goods,
and in many branches collateral to and
dependent upon these great industries. The
whole South feels the influence of the boom
now impelling Memphis forward, and which
