Our feet are worn and weary,
But we will not despair.

The sin Of the world away,
Have mercy on US.
Our hearts are faint with sorrow,
Heavy and hard TO bear,

But We viii not despair.

And thou wilt bid it ceases; 3:

FARMERS TO FIGHT FUTURES.
COTTON GROWERS TO OPPOSE
GAMBLING
In the Great staple. Contcn l'ac that the
Future Dealers Aro Keeping Down
the Price of COTTON NATIONALITY.


the Price of Cotton Materially,
The cotton growers convention,
which is to convene in Atlanta on De-
cember l4th, will consider the suppress
sion of dealing in cotton futures, and
will in all likelihood pass resolutions
calling on congress to pass law to pro-
hibit dealing in cotton futures and
all gambling on the price of the feeoy
staple.
Those who are interested in the cot
ton production in the United States are
firmly convinced that the dealing in flu
lures is of immense injury to the cotton
growers, and that it materially affects
the price.
The local cotton men are anxious to
have adopted RESOLUTIONS similar to those
passed at the cotton growers convention
which recently convened in Galveston,
Tex. The resolutions adopted there
were very much opposed to gambling in
cotton futures, and the growers laid
down an emphatic protest against the
exchange gambling.
The convention went extensively in
to an Investigation of the effect of the
market gambling upon the price of the
cotton and then reported that the futures
certainly lowered the price. One part
of the report was as follows
awe find, after a careful examination
Of all the facts before us, that option
dealing in future cotton is gambing OF
the most vicious nature; withdrawing
at least 81 per bale from circulation
during the deal, which in nearly every
case ends by forwarding the option put
up by the victim in the south with a con-
slant tendency to depress our principal
money crop"
The convention in It's resolution said
that by offering for sale fictitious cotton
called futures" at a price uniformly
less than the current spot cotton market,
and which sales of fictitious cotton fore
ed delivery of cotton at prices below
the actual market price, the farmer aud
producer were made to suffer. The reso-
luton says that tie gambling destroys
the legitimate market and leaves the
cotton product at the mercy of dictated
prices.

WAS PAY OR WALK.
LEGISLATORS AT THE MERCY OF
A TRAIN CREW.
Rode on a Tram Railway to Inspect South
Georgia Convict Camp. soIons
RaYed When Fare Was
Demanded.

There is good story going the rounds
and one which goes to show that the
science Of train-robbing is a progressive
one. A legislative committee of the
house has returned 20 Atlanta from the
inspection of a convict camp in the vi
cinity of the Okeefeen0kee swauap. The
committee, after leaving Atlanta, had
debarked at Boulogne. The camp was
about twenty-siX miles distant. They
took train over a little line of rail
road owned by the Brooks brothers,
and which had been built merely for the
purpose of reaching the camp. They
made the journey without anything of
mo ment occurring on the trip aud spent
the day at the camp. They had been in
vited to use the train. When the time
came for their return they found them
selves provided with box car without
seats, and the twenty members braced
and made themselves as comfortable as
possible under the dsagreeable ciroum-
stances. After the train had proceeded
thirteen or fourteen miles on the trip,
and had reached a point midway between
the camp and Boulogne, the heart of the
veritable Wilderness, the train suddenly
stopped and the fireman, engineer and
conductor came back to the car and de-
manded $3.50 from each passenger. The
members of the committee at first refus-
ed to pay and made the air blEe with de-
nunciatiOns of the outrage The ere
insisted on the payment and threatened
to leave the car standing in the woods
unless the forty dollars was forthcoming
Nobody in the party had weapon, and
what was worse nobody knew how to
run an engine, otherwise the crew would
nave been overpowered and the train
moved on. The result was that each
member came down with his dust. The
train, however, had only proceeded
little way when 1T again stopped, the
crew ming back and demanding seven
dollars more. Again was there furious
protest, but again the committee had to
comply. What added to the misery of
the occasion was the thought that the
crew had waited before holding up the
party until the train had crossed al in
tersectng line and left it far behind be-
fore making their demand. 1t was, there
fore, a very angry commit tee which re-
appeared in the house, and the members
are determined upon reprisal. They
have already directed an attorney to file
suit for punitive damage against the
Brooks brothers and 10 undertake the
prosecution of the conductor, engineer
and fireman for extortion and forcible
detaner. Representive Kendrick of Te"-
re!l was a member of the committee.
