FOUND IN A COAL CAR.
White Mans Toes Show up in a Con.
SHIPMENT OF Territory Coal.

Negroes unloading a car of coal
here yesterday on Bryan street
made a grewsome find in the car.
1t was the great toe and the Sec
ond toe of white mans left foot
with about twelve inches Of liga-
ment that must have been pulled
from the foot and leg with great
violence, causing a severe and
painful liberation of the limb a.
we'll as the foot. The toe OF a shoe
was also found. The toes we're
we'll preserved, showing the acct

the cold weather. Blood was still
visible upon the lacerated parts.
The car Of coal was from Cham
bers, l. T., brought in over the IL.
Il T. c., and consigned to Carson,
Sewall d Co. There was nothing
to indicate whether the accident
happened at the mines or on the
railroad en- route, or who the un-
fortunate man was.

DEALING IN COTTON FUTURES.

We rarely see the Greenville
News, but from a copy of Tues
days issue which came to this
Office we learn that a sermon was
preached in the Baptist church
Of that city last Sunday on the
subject of gambling, to which
exception has been taken by one
Alexander, proprietor OF what he
terms an establishment where
~cotton options" may be bought
and sold.
In a signed article in the paper
referred to Mr.. Alexander pro-
tests against being "presented to
the public as running a gambling
institution" He does not under
take to differentiate his business
from that of gambling, but con
tents himself with the general
assertion that the methods EN-
ployed in his business are "cor-
rect and honorable;" that "the
best regulated business institu-
tions in the world are the duly
organized and legally constituted
exchanges"
Mr.. Alexander also claims that
1. ere are but "three Offices in
South Carolina through which
cotton options may be bought
and sold" One of these, he says,
rs in Rock Hill, "owned and op
Grated by a gentleman of the
highest Christian character, and
an officer in the leading Presby-
serian church in the south )" the
second in Greenville, operated by

JACKSON'S BIRTHPLACE.

Notwithstanding the fact that
Andrew Jackson himself claim
ed South Carolina as the state
"f his nativity, and notwith-
standing the further fact that
the correctness Of his claim finds
abundant confirmation in his
tory, our friends across the line
persist in believing that he was
born in North Carolina.
A few days ago a committee
OF the Mecklenburg Chapter of
the Daughters of the American
Revolution placed, with i'm
Pressive ceremonies, an "iron
marker" at point In North
Carolina on the plantation of
MIR. j. l.. Rodman where it is
contended that Jackson first saw
the light of day. The "iron
marker" is to be replaced later
on by a handsome monument.

caster county:
The impression has gone out
that this is farmer organiza-
ton. That is great mistake,
this is every southern mans
fight-not only mans but every
woman's. The salvation of
every southern industry depen
DIS upon the success of this
movement to protect the cotton
interest of the south.
Every power that can be
mustered has been brought to
bear to depre,s the cotton mar
ket and continue to rob the
southern peope of their money,
which is their cotton and where
that is taken it stngnates all
other bu ines, and the result is
poverty and distress.
We now know that The output
OF the crop cannot be over 10,
600, 900 b les, which is worth
-! cents, and by misrepresen a
ton the half of the crop has
been sold for 10 cents and to
save the south from great loss
we will be compelled to get IS
cents for the remainder of the
crop. Now let me call on every
man and woman who loves the
southland-which prostrated so
long and is now beginning to
walk around, come to our relief.
Let us not falter in the heat
of battle and lose the great ad-
vantages that we have gained
for fear we might run the
chance of losing a few dollars.
The Battle Royal is on and
let every patriotic citizen stand
square to the front and gain
one of the grandest victories
that has ever crowned the south
and pledge ourselves to hold
our cotton for Is cents, and get
it or nothing
Every country has had it's
Judas Iscarots and Benedict
Arnolds and such like, but those
fellows we will bid adieu in
this great battle.

umbia, which is "under the super
vision of a gentleman whose hon
esty and moral standing is as
high as that of any man in the
Capital city"-a member, he
thinks, of the "great Methodist
church."
Mr.. Alexander goes on TO say
that "there are possibly more
than a dozen limitations in the
state. where the form OF buying
and selling may be gone through
with; and where there is no tran
saction, but simply bets placed
on the market fluctuations"
All of which is more or less
interesting. 1t will certainly be
news to many that there are only
three orthodox "cotton option"
concerns in South Carolina, all
the others being ''imitations." y"
There is no doubt a difference
between "cotton exchange" and
a "bucket shop" and that may
be the distinction Mr.. Alexander
has in view, but we must confess
that we are not sufficiently infor.
med on the subject to draw the
line of demarkation.
The fact of the matter is we
know little or nothing about this
cotton future business. We know
nothing as to it's practical work
ings, and such being the case we
are not prepared to say whether
the Greenville Baptist preacher
was right or wrong when he char
acterized dealing in cotton futures
oo gam olihS' IL tnS uulultldJeu,
however, 1T certainly looks that
way. If it is not betting on the
price of cotton, what in the name
of common sense is it J.? The prin-
ciple, it occurs to us, is the same
whether the transaction is had
through regular "cotton ex.
change" or a "bucket shop"
But il is not our purpose at
this time to discuss that phase OF
the question. We are willing to
concede for the sake of argument
that there is nothing immoral in
buying and selling "cotton op
tions"-that it is not gambling in
the usual acceptation of the word
1t is the obvious effect of partici
patton in such business to which
we desire to direct attention.
