There will be meeting of the representatives of the cotton grow ing distrlcts in Memphis in March. The object of the meeting is to take steps for an increase in the acreage of food crops and pro. portlonate decrease in the cotton acreage. An important feature of the meeting will be to establish q bureau with 2500 correspondents located in the cotton states and selected from representative farm. CTS. who are to report monthly on the acreage, condition and progress of harvesting and marketing the crop. Properly conducted, this movement will do away with all fictitious "estimates" sent ont hv experts" This has a business ring to 1t and is in line with what we have long wished to soc put in operation, viz to know at the end of each month the condition and movement of tho crops in each county.

There has bee one measure in troduced in the legislature which can not be killed too quick-the one providing for a distribution of the common school fund between white and colored according to tho taxes paid by each. We arc not speaking from the race standpoint of view-we have as strong prciu- dices along that line as probably any man living. It IS more far reaching than that. It isa blow at the very foundation of our com mon school system. The very keystone of the whole free school fabric is the duty of the state to provide for those whc cannot pro. vide for themselves. The same principle that builds poorhouses builds schoolhouses, ard the latter are much the best investment. If the school fund is to be apportioned so that only those who have paid in tho money shall receive its ben. ehts, then the free school system Is at an end. The next logical step IS to apportion to each coun- ty what 1t has pald in, then to each township, then to each school dis. trict, just what each has paid in Better keep the money at home in the first place and save commis. slons. No, gentlemen of the legis- lature, this is the first step on q road winch has no end except the jumping off place. Do not talk e the first stop in that direction DeVall's Bluff Enterprise.

Congressman Sherman, of New York, is so scandalizcd by the wickedness of the business of "soalping" railway tickets that he has introduced q bill to fne and imprison anybody and every body who may sell a railway ticket or coupon 10 any person except the company that issued it unless he be a regular licensed ticket agent.

And MT. sherman is 10 be admired for bearing the iidicule sure 10 be excited by his seeming ignorance of tho fundamental institutions of his country in order to put on record this scintillant evidence of his sense of morality.
