At a meeting of the physiciaus
of Navturi) couuty, receully held
iu Corsicana, resolutions were
passed ooudemuiug the -act of the
recent Legislature which levied an
occupnliou tax on physicians The
resolutions, which were uuaui
mously adopted, pledge all the
members of the convention to do
all they can to defeat Uie law or to
cause its early repeal. The reso-
lutions recite that an occupation
tax islevied upon such trades, occu-
pations aud callings as are sup-
posed to be devoid of charitable or
benevolent purposes or general
benefit to the community, aud are
exercised purely for the benefit of
the person pursuing them. The
tax is supposed to be a return to
the public for the privilege of en-
gaging iu the business aud enjoy-
ing its remuneration, and that
tested by this principle, the tax ou
phyeiciaus becomes unjust, and
that the vast aud constant demands
ou the profession for charity work
entitles it to exemption from this
tax The convention invites all
physicians throughout thd Stale to
assist iu making test cases of the
law, and in case of failure, to exert
tueir influence iu getting the law
repealed.—Kaufman Sun.
The imposition of a $5 occupa-
tion tsx on physicians by the Isst
Legislature, was an unnecessary
hardship uj>ou them, and we do Dot
think it ought to have been done.
While it is claimed that because
many professional men do compar-
atively a large business, and pay
as a whole but little ad valorem
tax, they should be required to
pay a speoial privilege or occupa-
tion tax, it is readily seen that, if
there is one profession more than
another, that should be exempted
from the law, it is the medical pro-
fession; both nn account of the
nature of their business and the
la-g>* amount of charity practice
which they ate called upon to do
every lyear. Much of that practice is
done when it is known that nothing
will bf received for it. and is done
mostly out of the office with expoa-
ure Id weather, and often limes fur-
nisl/iifyi tlje indigent patient
free ^uiedicinea besides. If it is
right fro tai a profession, these ex-
tenuating circumstances surround-
ing the meflical profession certain-
ly warrant excepting it from this
special tax. Under the peculiar
circumstances which surround
them and attend their practice, we
do not blame the physicians for
complaining at the extra burden
laid upon them, and we hope the
next Legislature will remove it,
by repealing the law applying to
them.

This is the last week of the Tex-
as State Fair, and it remains to be
seen how it will come out finan-
cially, as soon as its receipts and
expenses can be balanced to see
which is the “heftiest.” In addi-
tion to the yellow fever scare, and
farther probable quarantines, the
Fair had to militate it oonsidera-
bly harder financial times than
were felt by the masses of the peo-
ple a year ago. The Fair ia now
recognized as h great beneficial in-
stitution for Texas, and the Re-
corder hopes it will ootAe.oat in
the end entirely free of debt.
The following telegram to the
Dallas News shows the result of
tha examining trial referred to
by the Ledger.
Mexia, Tex., Oct. 26.-On ex-
amiqjng trial of Will Davis, Hen-
ry Speers, W. P. 8peers, Albert
Hughes and Jvlin Austin, charged
with committing the various bur-
glaries in this and Freestone coun-
ty, defendants waived examination
and the bonds were fixed as fol-
lows; Will Davis and- Henry
8peers $1800 each, W. P. Speers
$1000, Albert Hndges And John
Austin $500 each. In default of
which they-were taken to jail At
Groesbeck.
The Houston Post of a few dayb
ago contained short interviews
from a number of cotton men of
ttmt city in which they all express-
ed xbe opinion/that, for the size of
the crop now known to have been
made, the staple is selling too low.
Aud they all expresaed tha opin-
ion that the price was almost
bound to go higher, and probably
befpre January. *

Tennessee, attended the State Fair

did not object to “turning an hon-

making a few lectures, while bis

on. It may look a little peculiar
for a Governor to vacate the exec-
