the a candidate to represent this
distriol In the next Congress. Mr.
^Duncan has bcon highly spoktn of

known whether or not he will enter
the race. Should he enter, he would
wield a mighty Influence, and his

So many of the prominent Demo
crats, who are posslblo candidates
for tbe Presidency, arc lu poor
health that it looks as though the
national convention would
obliged to nominate a second-class
man. However, tho past wlntor
has been a bard one, and most ev
ery ono has bcon moro or less nr.
footed by It. When tbo July sun
kind of warms things up, ami there
has been some deflnite position
taken on the tariff question, and a
clearer view can bo had as to the
possible action of the delegates,

improve.
C0TT05I FUTURES.
A good many farmers in different
part* of tbe South, says the Sevan
ua$ News, are said to bo making
arrangements to sell their crops of
cotton for future delivery next fall
at from 10 to 10$ cents per pound.
. To dispose of a crop in this man
ner would make the raising of cot
ton a much less hazardous business
than it has been heretofore. Where
} futhjey can bo sold for actual de-
Hverjr at a satisfactory price, the
plan is a good one. Of courao no
farmer can effect a sale unless be
has high financial standing or puts
'ftp an adequate money margin.
Cotton can bo profltably raised at
10 cents per pound, bat when the
price drops below that there is lit
tle or no money in it, even in a
good crop year. Owing to the
great expense of gathering and
marketing a cotton crop tbe farm
ers’ proflta depend a greet deal less
on tbe amount raised per mule than
on the price obtained for It. A
poor crop of cotton at 10 centaper
pooud Is much more profltablo than
a good ana at 9 cents.

It is a native of thu Arctic region,
but migrates Southward.”
