Ths Cotton Problem.

The Sampson Democrat, published at
Clinton, N. c., calls attention to an arti-
Gle from Rev. J.. Il. Stewart, an experi-
enced planter, in which the suggestion Is
made that our cotton growers should be-
come the purchasers Of cotton whenever
the market price falls below the cost OF
production.
MI. Stewart urges the formation. of
County and State societies OF planters or
ganized to buy cotton for fall delivery
whom they deem 1t necessary. he says: {:
aWhen member enters he furnishes
the proper officer with . verified state
! ment Of the average annual amount Of
his cotton production for, say, the last
I five wears when it is decided to buy,
each member ID to buy certain number
OF bales In proportion to his averaged
production, and enter into q written con-
tract to that effect, In which he stipulates
10 reduce his production by tho amount
purchased, and In case Of breach ofsuch
contract on his part to forfeit all right Of
membership. or course each member
would be expected to, place in the treasu-
ry. The money to make such purchase.
These matters are all to be regulated by
the bylaws"
Here il his argument in favor of deal
ing In futures:
q g a cotton grower Of fair intelligence
reasonable certainty the number Of bales
of cotton he will put on the market next
; fall. and its cost per bale to him, and in
|. the same way Of the entire prospective
crop and its cost. The commercial world
s is now Offering TO deliver to him next
tall the cotton at q less price than it will
cost him to make it. Why not buy in-
stead Of produce, for the simplest and
best reason, because it nnsts him less
.tSuppose he buys at SIS per bale and 1t
will cost him $50 to produce it; In either
case he can sell next fall at tho then price.
K that shall be S25 and he has bought at
$25, he is even. If he has produced it, he
has lost S., and so indefinitely. But the
point ia, if he has purchased bale, ono
bale less has been produced, and that, all
admit, would tend to send up the price,
for. notice, he shall not buy and produce
both without limit but so far IS he buys
he shall not produce"
The plan outlined by Mr.. Stewart has
been quietly discussed for some time
past, but while it has some earnest advo-
Gates the general opinion ssemp to be that
it would be very Improbable to our far
mers. The price Of cotton is not rsgula-
ted by supply and demand, but by spec
ulatiYe com hinations nnd corners on
large scale backed by hundreds Of mill
I lions Of dollars. flour Southern plan
ters should take notion to buy very
largely in futures for fall delivery, the
probability is that tho cotton kings Of
Liverpool and New York would combine
together and fix prices in way that
would make our people very much dis
satisfied with their investment.
Upon the whole, our farmers would do
better to rely upon diversified crops and
close economy. If they try to gam BILE in
futures they will find themselves in very
deep water.-Atlantd Constitution.

Little Margaret at Rest.

LOCKE-Little Margaret Sloan, the three
year old daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. W. X. Locke,
after brief illness departed this life about 2
O'clock yesterday morning at Braggs, l. i. Her
remains will be taken to Alma, where the
funeral will take place ut II o'clock today.
Thus one of the sweetest, brightest little lives
that ever sprung into life has been extinguished
forever. Eyes that but yesterday, as it were,
are closed beneath white lids that no voice can
ever raise again. Those tender little hands that
were wont to wander lovingly around mammals s
neck and face are quietly stilled In rest. Those
little pink lips that rippled so sweetly with
laughter are hushed forever. The patter OF
those busy little feet has ceased, and the little
half-worn shoes and dainty garments, with
shoulder knots of blue to match those beautiful
blue eyes, have been folded with aching heart
away. Her brief, bright life was an unclouded
one. flower even in Its blooming has been
transplanted to unfading climes.
Angels safely bore her home,
And for her we need not weep,
Come in softly to the door.
Little Margarets gone to sleep
She has only gone to sleep.

TORNADO AT OMAHA.
1t Merely Touched the Earth but In
jured Several People.

OMAHA, April pa tornado struck the
northwestern part of the city early this
morning and damaged number of houses.
Several people were injured, as follows: w.
A. Barnett, cut in face and head; Mrs.
Barnett, hurt internally; F. v. Thompson.
struck by flying timber and seriously hurt
in the head; three Barnett children, more
or less cut and bruised: Max Sunderland,
hurt by falling timbers. Several others were
slightly hurt.
AS nearly as can be ascertained, the tor
nado only struck the earth for moment
and then rebounded into the air. Its course
was from northeast to southwest. 1t was
about block in width and only covered a
territory of about four blocks long. Some
of the residents who saw it from vantage
of three or four blocks away, said that as
nearly as could be seen in the darkness, it
looked as though bunch of clouds came
swirling through the air from the north
east and after striking the cottages,
bounded into the air like a ball Outside of
She immediate neighborhood of the devasta-
ton, the wind was no greater than it was
in the other portions of the city. Imnledi-
ately after the greatest force of the wind
had subsided, rain fell in torrents.
