Thousa nds of farmers and merchants in the South sold cotton ahead for future delivery from nine cents up- ward Some sold more than they have raised and have to buy cotton in the open market for delivery or pay the difference in price Even with fifteen cents for cotton, southern farmers cannot be prosperous as long as they have to buy everything which enters into the raising of cotton.

FolloWing are the opinions or some New York cotton houses:
 Bailey & Montgomery:-"We look for nervous market with wide swings for some time."
 $. B. Chapin and Co.-"Indications are for see-saw market for near future with possibly a selling ten dency."
 Renskorf. Lyon & Co.--"An active demand for spots will be reflected in the rise in futures as the market Is technically strong and will respond to any favorable influences"
 Crusei & F'linn.--"We feel friendly to the bull side, but think 1t wise to take profits with the view of re- purchasing on a cheaper basis"
 Dick Bros. and Co.-"We do not think it necessary for cotton to decline materially to tempt the spinner into the market There must be some evil dence of stability of price however, and these wild ups and downs will check any tendency on the part of the spinner to enter the market. We ad- vice extreme caution"

KAFF1R CORN IN THE SOUTH.

That KaAir corn and milo maize
are not properly appreciated in the
feed trade is the conclusion Of the
Texas station in a feeding test. These
grains contain considerably less fat
or oil than Indian corn and in other
constituents the differences are not
important. The protein and fat Of
Kafir corn are much less easily d.
gested than the same constituents in
Indian corn. In a feeding test the
Kafir corn produced greater gains
than milo maize with Indian corn in
third place-Nashville Banner.

THE SONG OF THE SIREN.

THE SONG OF THE SIREN.
It was dark and dark and dreary
And the air was limp and chill,
And blackness, dire and leery,
Compassed mead and moor and hill,
And a silence, like token
Of the dead, was only broken
By the wind that moaned and whist1ed
as it shook my window sill,
BY the wind that walled and whist1ed
as it surged and ceased at will.
In my chamber, lighted only
By the ire-light's tender glow,
Long I sat, alone and lonely,
While the flames played to and fro.
Ger my sorrow sadly thinking,
Slow my soul was sinking, sinking,
Till at last I sought nepenthe in the
golden long ago,
Mingled memories sweet nepenthe
with the bitter dregs Of woe.
Wrapt in silent retrospection
Of my childhood days gone by,
Many fond, fond recollection
Passed before my fancy's eye,
And these memories senescent,
Like a sunbeam iridescent.
Lat the pathway of my sorrow, hushed
my sad SOULS plaintive cry;
Lit the valley of my sorrow, stilled
my SOULS despairing sigh
0 could | but only linger
Where these fragrant memories blend
With the sunshine! But the finger
Ut my fate has marked the end,
For hear the Siren singing
And the threnody is ringing
Clear and sweet above the signing and
the moaning of the wind,
Sweet and clear above the moaning
and the signing of the wind.
All, no more with love s emotion
Shall my heart in triumph swell,
And no more with true devotion
Shall my lips loves secrets tell,
For the Sirens calling, calling,
And the shadows fast are falling,
Fast are falling DER the meadows
where the nodding daisies dwell,
Fast are falling over meadow, over
dale and over dell.

TOM WATSON MELoN-72 POUNDS


The best a1l-round melon grown in
Georgia. It,has every good quality of
the famous Georgia Rattlesnake and is
superior to that variety in that it is
almost free from rotten ends. 1t is a
much better shipping melon, and it is
a much better keeper. 1t is superior
to the KLECKLEY MELON in that it
grows much larger and has all the
sweetness of that variety.
I have been growing melons for the
market for the past twenty-five years
and have tried all of the varieties
known in Georgia, and have no hest
fancy in saying that the TOM WAT
SON melon comes nearer meeting
every requirement than any variety
ever saw. I consider the seed to be
worth their weight in gold.

AT the last State election in Maine,
that far Eastern State incorporated
the initiative and referendum in her
fundamental law. Hereafter, no law
may go into effect until ninety days
after its signature by the Governor,
during which period a petition Of TO-
900 qualified voters will refer it to
the people if there be objection to the
law. This will stay the operation Of
the law until the next. general election,
when it will be subject to the will Of
a majority vote. IF. after signature,
by the Governor no objection is raised
in thirty days, the law stands. This
is not the only means by which the
people may rule, however. Provided
10000 petitioners ask the Legislature
to pass any desired measure, it must
be introduced. If the Legislature re-
jects it, the people may demand
referendum at the next general cleo
ton, and a majority of the voters
can then make it law over the heads
Of the legislators.
