pleasant business relations to cease.
Young man, keep your hands Off
gambling in futures, cotton, grain,
stock, meat, in any other form; Z
Now let US look at what / have
termed the legitimate use Of cotton
futures" and which almost everyone
who handles actual cotton is obliged
to deal In. Years ago, when there
were neither cables nor telegraphs,
futures had no place in trade, (by fu.
lures, l mean what Is now known and
dealt in as future contracts,'0 there
were not many daily fluctuations as at
present. Instead Of selling from this
side to merchants in Liverpool, Lon
don, Bremen, Havre aud other we'll
known markets, cotton would be con-
signed aud q commission paid to the
broker in the port to which the cot
ton went to sell it at certain prices,
or to sell at best" on arrival; there
was no communication with this side
except the mail and that by sailing
vessels, SO you will readily see there
was not the extreme uncertainty that
nowadays exists. Business was not
conducted in the harum-scarum way
1T Is done az present, life was'lived at
a slower rate. "Rooseveltian strenu-
BUSINESS" did not exist, but with the
coming on the scene of cable and tele-
graph until today, when fluctuations
In Liverpool or other cotton centres
are recorded within minute or two
after occurrence, some means bad to
be found to protect both the buyer al.
seller and that means today is found
in cotton futures"
Suppose A. at 8 O'Clock a. M, re-
ceives an order from Liverpool, say,
to buy i've hundred bales of cotton,
say middling, at such price; If he
can buy at that price he Immediately
cables Liverpool In cipher, Have
boughI at such a price SO many
bales" and the house in Liverpool at
once sells an equal number Of bales of
cotton in futures to protect them
selves In case of fluctuations between
the time the cotton is bought and
arrives In LiverpOol; and as the cot
ton is sold either in small or large lots
to spinners, the buyer for every hun
dred bales Of the five hundred he sells

whole five hundred are closed out,
thus minimizing the risk; the same
applies to the Southern merchant or
exporter and to some extent to tile
mills also, and l am firmly Of opinion
that where cotton futures" are used
to such an end it is entirely legiti-
mate and without them L do not see
how the export business any way
could be worked and, instead of add
ing to the speculative feature, con-
Siderably reduces it,"

An Importnnt Decision.

Three opinions were filed in the Su-
premc court Tuesday by Justice Eu-
gene b. Gary, but only one was OF
public interest. This was the case
OF lockwood VS.. Lock wood. William
ii. Lockwood was for many years pro
prictor of the Bank of Beaufort, a
private institution. He died July %.
l902, being testate and solvent. There
were many claims against his bank
ana among these were the claims of
II. y. Adams, county treasurer (S4,-
1888, and George Gage, clerk and
treasurer OF the city of Beaufort (Sl,-
33l.IO. These two dcpositers claimed
preference over other creditors saving
that the moneys they wished to recov-
cr were public funds. They were sus-
tanned in this contention by the cir
cult Judge. Appeal was made, the
only question raised being whether or
not the Judge was right in sustaining
TINS claim. The appellants maintain
ed that The sums deposited we're in
the names OF Adams and Gage as
treasurerS, and this fact should give
them no preference. Judge Gary sus.
tams the lower court, giving several
authorities and also citing section
23oS OF the code OF laws. The funds
were not the actual properties of these
trcaSllrers, he says, and they could not
nave drawn upon them i'm their ind-
'iuual capacity, some recognition of
thcir olllcial status being necessary.
Public funds have preference in cases

Five lives lave been lost and prob

damage to property has been done by
the flood which has devasted many
parts of Michigan during the past five
days Wednesday night the indica-

though conditions are still very bad
at Grand Rapids and also along the
course of the Saginaw river. At
Grand Rapids the water has fallen
two feet Wednesday and at Saginaw
and Bay City, while no such marked
improvement is to be noted the fact
that much of the ice that blocked the
mouth of the Saginaw river at Bay
City has gone out is taken as a very
favorable indication. Wednesday night
the ice gorge went out and the river
began falling.
