MEMPHIS, Tenn, May l3--One
Of the most extraol binary cases in
u:edica, annals is that OF Miss Tolle
son a student at a leading institu.
ton in This city. The young lady
was attacked with tcnsllitis a few
days ago, her tempetature rising to
100 degrees, and then to los de-
srees, her death being momentariiy
expected, but to tho utter consterna
ton Of the attending physicians her
temperature continued 10 rise stead
i!y to 1873 degrees Fab, breaking
the record, also several thermom-
ttefs, which could not record any
higher. Strangest Of all is the fact
tha. the young lady is improving
and may recover. There is but one
parallel case on record. that OF a
victim Of peretoni,is at On,aha, Ne
hra>ka, whose temperature reached
1872 degrees.

rake it as you catch it.-A rabbi,
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1891-03-10

A CORRESPONDENT thinks we white
washed Secretary Beddingfeld, and
demands to know the facts about his
cheap railroad fares. We thought we
stated the facts with sufficient clearness
to enable any one to understand them.
We state them again. There were
some young men living at Mill Brook,
Mr.. Beddingfeld's station, who had
cheap Communication tickets or the rail
road to enable them to attend school
in Raleigh five days in each week. Mr..
Beddingfeld asked the railroad COM
pany to give him the same rates to
attend the legislature six days in each
week. And the same rates were given
to him that were given to the young
men. That is, Mr.. Beddingield
bought tickets to and from Raleigh
at the lowest rates at which they were
sold at his railroad station. The man
who can see anything wrong in this
has a funny way of Judging of moral
questions. If our correspondent were
as ready to think well Of mems &C
tions as he seems to be to think i'll of
them, he would be a much better and
happier man. His charge that we
whitewashed Mr. Beddingfield Is the
sheerest nonsense. We do not publish
the letter of our correspondent, in
spite of his imperious demand that we
do So, because we can fill the paper
with letters that were not written to
accuse our brethren.

EOUALIZE THE BURDEN.

To conform to the demands of Justice
and thereby subserve the best interests
of the whole people, should be a gov
erning principle in legislation. Various
enterprises and institutions are calling
for appropriations at the hands of our
legislators. These legislators, knowing
that the weight of the burden will fall
On the agricultural interests of the
State, are wisely exercising great eau
ton in the matter of increasing taxa
ton. They know that the farmers of
the State are already loaded as heavily
as they can bear. But our State insti-
buttons must be kept up. 1t must be
done by taxation. Education must
be advanced. It must be done by tax
alton. But how can the farmers pay
increased taxes when agricultural val
ues are sinking every day The taxes
must be forthcoming, but from what
source? The PROGRESSIVE FARMER sug-
gests that the legislature pass a law
to Unearth the hidden property in it's
V LII Liz LIZ " pays III UdA
at all, and make it bear it's just proper
ton of the burdens of taxation. Over
two-thirds of the wealth of this coun-
try is not assessed one cent for pur-
poses of taxation. Let it be dragged
forth and taxed. Why could not the
legislature pass a law requiring every
holder of a solvent credit to bring it
forward and list it, as the farmer does
his mule or his land ? Provide the
assessors all through the State with a
seal which shall stamp on the note the
word assessed" with the date and the
name of the assessor. Let this stamp
be put on all these notes, ETC., and if
they do not bear this stamp, let them
be uncomfortable Under the Ld1U. Such
a law would reduce our Present rate
of taxation at least twenty-five per
cent. and enable us to increase our
appropriations to great State objects
fifty per cent. If our legislature will
squeeze the water out of our rail
road and other stocks and thus reduce
the charges on railroads to the honest
basis of paying an honest dividend on
honest investment and will bring all
the property Of the State to the front
and make it bear it's honest part of the
burthens of the government, we need
hear but little complaint as to taxes

the manner in which they r imposed
that bears SO heavily on the people.
