Something outside-of the usual
happened a few days aga. We
are informed Kv Mr. B L Jones
that two small farmers came into
his store one dnv I his week and
made arrangements to buy two
hundred hales of spot cotton.
Ttipy put up two thousand dollars
and Mr. Jones furnished the bal-
lance of amount necessary to pay
for them. It. is argued by some
that it would pay the formers t<>
se|! spots and buy futures, but
this is a mistake, os it frequently
happens that futures decline
sharply, which is not true of
spots, and besides this, when cot¬
ton is taken off the market the
spinners cannot spin futures. Be¬
sides engaging in what might he
termed ‘‘legal gambling,” the
far mer selling spots and buying
futures is furnishing a club to
break himself wilh.

Again the year has rolled to the
beautiful month of October, But
a few days ago the fields wore
beautifully green, hut now the
harvest has begun. The cotton
fields are white with their snowy
fl,. oco „„d the corn hangs heavy
on ( | 1H Rtn iif. Aiitumn has a hu-
p ( ,nor charm to spring, in some
particulars. Everything is mel¬
low, ripe, chrstoning and ap¬
proaching completion. There is
an air of waiting that differs
from the Hurry and push of the
springtime. Only two more
months and another year will lie
passing with its pleasures and its
sorrows, its rejoicings and its Mi¬
grate. To pome it has given oi ly
good, while to others it has dis¬
pensed only suffering and disap¬
pointments. The poet Was a
prophet when lie wrote:
l l Death rides on every passing
breeze,
And lurks in every llowor,
Each season has its own disease
It’s perils every hour.
