CHURCH FOLKS AND FUTURES,
Minister Sorry He Didn't Buck the
Market.

At a Baptist meeting between Ameri-
Gus and Columbus, but nearer the lat
ter city, on Sunday last, the subject of
cotton speculation and dealing in ''fu-
lures" was the timely topic of the day.
DIR. W. FL. Smith, of Columbus, made q
strong talk on the evils of speculation.
One minister in attendance said If he
had known last fall what the price
of cotton would be this summer
he would be richer by thousands
OF dollars now, as he would have
availed himself of the information.
He commended that nearly all forms
of business are speculative to certain
degree. This minister was alone in
his position, all the others condemning
speculation. One farmer, a promi.
nent Baptist, said he speculated in cot
ton last fall, but it was too fascinating,
and he would advise his brethren
against it. 1t is said he made $4,000
out of futures.

BOOZE BLAzED BY THE BARREL

Explosion,

Explosion,
That some brands of booze will blaze
in q barrel is O fact that Ice Cain as
we'll as others will bear testimony. In
Fitzgerald day or two ago Mr.. Cain,
who is as we'll known in Americus as
anyone in Georgia, was testing barrel
of whiskey with Mr.. L. Keim, the pro-
prietor of a saloon there, according to
the Fitzgerald Enterprise. The test
made was as to the infamability of the
whiskey. The faucet of barrel in
Klem's place was turned and some of
the liquor poured upon the floor. One
of the men applied lighted match to
the spilled booze with the assurance
that it would not burn. But greater
mistake was never made. Not only did
the wasted liquor burn but all the ball
ance in the store did likewise, the bar
rels exploding in rapid succession.
The entire saloon burned down, entail
ing loss of So, 0C0 or $4,000, on which
there was little insurance, while one or
two other places of business adjoining
the saloon got costly scorching.
