DIVERSIFIED CROPS.
THE JACKSON RESOLUTIONS IN.
DORSED BY THE MERCHANTS
At u Meeting OF the Cotton EN-
change-ActiOn OF That
Body,

A meeting of the Cotton Exchange
was held yesterday at 5 80 o'clock p m.
for the purpose of taking action in
reference ID the resolutions adopted
by the Interstate Agricultural Conven-
ton on the subject OF diversified
crops. President Crawford presided,
and stated the object OF the MEETING.
Capt q. W. billiard offered the follow
ing resolutions, which we're unan-
imously adopted:
WHEsEAs, The Interstate Agricul-
tursl Convention, recently assembled
a. Jackson, Tenn, in a memorial
adopted presented such well timed
sugge, tons to the Southern planter !;
therefore. be il
Resolved by the Memphis Cotton EG-
change, That we heartily indorse the
resolutions advising the planting Of
one-third cotton and more grain and
grasses. The present price of cotton
makes its production improbable to
the Southern farmer, and the price al
ready fixed by spectators for the crop
Il lSS8-87 demands of the producer
his cooperation in an effort to defeat
the Vaccinations of manipulators
who hope to still further increase
their gains at the expense of the
planter.
ResolUed, That united action on the
part of the planters of the South, by
decreasing the acreage Ct cotton and
devoting the same to diversified
crope," will add materially to their
prosperity, and realize for them P fair
valuation for the cotton that is pro.
duced.
ResOlUed, That we recommend TO the
several Cotton Exchanges Of Southern
cities the adoption of such resolutions
on this important SUI ject as will, In
their judgment, best promote the
agricultural interests of the South.
There being no further business to
consider the meeting was declared adj

COLORED ENOCH ARDEN.
A Negro Woman with Too Many
Husbands.

An Enoch Arden phsza crops out in
a divorce bill filed in the Chaucery
Court yesterday by Anna against
Frank Jones. The plaintiff alleges
that she married Frank some years
ago, but he scorned, betrayed and
abused her maiden affections, some
times with an oath, often with a club,
frequently with an ax.hsndle. 1t
seemed to be the chief charm Of his
existence that he had somebody to
wear out his fishing-poles on, and he
was never 80 happy as when relking
the crockeTy or smashing the furni-
ture. At last he departed for the Mis-
sissippi bottoms. An overflow came,
and with it the news thst he bat
fallen from a canoe and lost his miser-
able life. She did not go into mourn
ing, but took new husband in the
person of Nit Stevens. The marital
ship was sailing along very smoothly,
when the overflow gave up its victim
Frank reappeared. Two husbands are
impossible, and therefore the much
doubled up Anna desires the judge TO
cut the odious knot which binds the
festive Frank to her.

Distribution of Taxes.

Levying and collecting taxes should be
done in a manner that will, as far as posi-
BILE, evenly distribute the burdens OF
government. There is a disposition to
abolish all indirect taxes and center the
whole burden upon real and personal pro-
perty. The occasional howl about the
drummer's license tax is a case in point.
It is claimed that this tax is unjust to the
Commercial tourist" and that the people
or the consumer of the drummer's goods
have it to pay. To abolish this tax would
be to increase the burdens of the agricul-
tursl class. The money now raised by it
would then have to be raised by an In
crease of taxes on real and personal pro-
perty. Paid as it is now, all consumers
share in the burden; paid by direct taxa
tion, the owners of real and personal pro-
perty alone pay it. Hat
A prominent merchant 10 neighboring
town recently remarked to as: sIf you
will advocate the doubling of the drum.
mer's tax and compel every one to pay 1t,
I will be with you. Many of them dodge
the tax now imposed; I am in favor of the
law being rigidly enforced" I
There is nothing unjust about the law
unless it is because it is not enforced on
ell alike. A farmer engages in the culti'
vation of the soil for the purpose of max
ing living; he has to pay tax on every
thing he has and makes. A drummer
travels through the State for the purpose
of making money for himself and tor "the
House," why should they be exempt from
taxes? No sound reason can De given

Diphtheria.

The difficulty of educating the public
into the belief of the necessity of quaran'
timing the sufferers from this disease is
beyond comprehension. We have seer
children playing in the street suffering
from q mild attack of diphtheris, who were
as capable of injecting others with the
disease as though they had it in the most
virulent form. Indeed, we witnessed one
death produced by contact with these
children, and yet their parents could not
be persuaded TO keep them from contact
with others. 1t is thus that the disease is
often diffused from house to house and
kept alive where it ought to be diligently
extirpated. Every person having it ought
to be isolated, aud every house in which
it is ought to be quarantined and colored
flag placed in conspicuous position upon
the dwelling to mark the location of the
enemy. Local authorities ought to com
pei such precautions to be taken; as there
is no question Of the disease being
wholly under the control of efficient sani
tary measures.-Dr. q. G. IyrreH, Sacra
