Thomasvtfie Times-Entcrprise : It is
quite late in the season for watermelons,
but nevertheless Mose Futch, who is usu
ally early and late, brought in a fine one
yesterday. It is the Pearson variety. The
melon will be forwarded from this office to
Montgomery M. Folson of Atlanta, with
Mr. Futch’s compliments. There is an in
teresting little incident that prompts this
act. On the evening of Tuesday, Nov. 25,
IBUO, cannons began to boom in Thomas*
ville carrying the glad tidings that Gordon
“ad been chosen senator. Mr. Futoh was
at his plantation superintending syrup
making. A boiler full had just been
put on the fire and all the negroes
were busy, soma attending the furnace,
some grinding and others busy with strain
ing the boiling juice. Mr. Futoh was stand*
ing near the turnace. He had been hunt
ing and his powder horn was still at his
side. Boom! ’ “ Boom!’’ went the first
guns. It was the signal agreed on if Gor
don was elected. Hardly had the echo died
SrYJ-A*?,’ wl i ho “ t * "°rd of explanation.
obucked the horn of powder
l"* 0 . 1 * 10 blazing fire of the furnace. The
result can be imagined. The huge kettle
was overturned and hot, boiling syrup
flew in every direction. Those nearest
fared worse, and some were almost
burled in the debris aud boiling liquid.
The negroes thought Mr. Fntch was crazy
and lost no time in getting out of that neck
of the woods. The Times-Enterprise told
the story at the time, and Folsom pasted a
clipping away In his scrap book. So, re
cently, when Cleveland was elected and
everybody oelebratiug, Folium resurrected
tbe tale and run it iu again in new dress,
but Mr. Futrb recognized himself as the
“prominent farmer” referred to, and up in
Atlanta Foleom will out plugs out of the
melon as he did in his boyhood's happy
home down on the farm.

running as fast as bis short legs would carry
him, and olose at his heels followed tbe
faithful collie, with a look of sad resignation

tho dogged determination to be of assistance
whenever it Bhould be required.
Billie Taylor had a crowd of tourists
about him in a corner of tbe park at Jack
sonville Thursday night explaining how the
old New York town of his boyhood days
bad sent out a great number of noted men
into the world. Billie was born In Owego,
a little village of Tioga county, and lived
thera until he was hatched out os a profes
sional base ballist, about fifteen years ago,
"Why,” he told the group, “Tom Platt’s
boys and I were schoolmates aud play-fel
lows in Owego. The New York republican
boss Wasn’t rnuoh of a flguro in those days.
He kept a little corner drug store. The
firm was Platt & Hull. I can see the sign
now. The future boas bad three boys—Ned,
Frank and Harry. They are all ‘ln It’ now;
one away-up official in the United States
Express Company, another getting rich m
the eteamshio business out on the Pacific
coast, and the other a big lawyer in a big
and rich Arm. Ned Platt has shoved bis
elate over ou my desk many a time for me

to copy bis ’example#’ when I was in a
hurry to get out of school to play ball or
run a foot race. Roscoe Cockling lived
only a few miles away and used to come to
Uwego frequently on legal business Frank
and Harry Platt and I enow balled him one
day, and be chased us two whole blocks for
j it. Bishop Potter of New York used to
live there, and twenty-five years ago I was
'cahoots’ with him. Then there was Senator
IV. H. Bristol of DeLand, Volusia oounty,
Florida—he was an Owego man, and he was
‘in it,’too. He bad a big iron foundry
there at one time and then be got to be state
treasurer of New York. He was a bigger
mau than Platt in those dais. At one tune
he had a big oontraot fcr the construction
of the Elmira reformatory, and for political
reasons tbe republican administration re
fused to accept and pay for the work. But
when Tom Piatt got his grip cm New York
he made it a point to have the state settle up
with his old ’townie,’ Bristol, although the
latter was a political opponent of tbe boss.
O. we all stood in with each other in Owego!
These are only a few of her big men. I’m a
pretty big man myself. I weigh 243
pounds.”

New York, Deo. 3.—Hubbard, Prlos A Co.'s
summary letter Is as follows: "Thecotton trade
to-day had another lesson in the beneficent
< peration of anti-option legislation. The mar
ket here, under rather more encouraging ad
vices, opened at an improvement of 4 to 5 points,
but shortly after the opening a dispatch from
New Orleans that the Georgia legislature had
Instructed its congressmen and senators to vote
in favor of the anti-option bill was
received and Its effect was Immediately
to depress prices about 2 points,
March contracts selling as low as 9. 28c,
Great weakness was developed on the decline
and many holders of cotton on margins were
forced into selling. A later denial of the earlier
roport in regard to the action of the Georgia
legislature was received and the market jnmped
nearly %c, March contracts selling at 9.620.
From this there was a slight reaction. In Liv
erpool the net decline for the day Is 3-61d. The
market there opened 5-64d lower than yester
day. but recovered It in part. Spot sales are
5,000 bales Receipts for tue day promise
to be 38,000, against 30,000 last week
and 35,000 bales last year. Tbe
statistical position as made up by this morn
ing's Chronicle is:
Visible supply: Thieweek, 4,064,877; last week,

is based on telegrams from our correspondents

New York, Dec. 3 —The opening transac
tions on the New York Cotton Exchange
showed an advance of 5@6 points, owibgto tbe
unexpected strength at Liverpool, where the
market closed at a net loss of only 2 64d. Thu
bearish features wrre the small demand for
spot cotton at Liverpool and a report that the
Georgia legislature had passed resolutions
favoring the passage of the anti.option bill by
congress These reports caused a reaction,
and the advance was wiped out and 18 point#
beside. Many selling orders for account of
southern firms were executed. Just before the
ciose, March, whioh had sold down from 9 4Tc
to 9 280. advanced rapidly to 9 45c on very
heavy transactions An apparent scarcity of
cotton just before the close advanced the whole
market 2®G points above yesterday's final
figures on u total sales of 250,600 bales. Tbe
port receipts at the south for the coming week
are estimated at 2.30,000 to 260,000 bales, against

Nxw York, Dec. 3.—Boars were disappointed
in the report from Liverpool this morning,
as they expected that market to make a satis
factory response to our break yesterday, and
con-equently we opeued at an advance of 3@5
points and then further improved I@2 points
on buying by shorts to cover contracts, but
later tbe market turned weaker under a roport
from the Georgia legislature recommending
the pasuage of the anti-option bill. Tne receipts
at the ports show an increased orop movement.
About half an hour before the close the market
suddenly turned stronger and prices jumped
!B®ls points, owing to the active buying by
local operators to cover their short sales made
early this morning, stimulated by a contradic
tion of the report that the Georgia legislature
favored the anti-option bill and closed firm.
