Gambling in futures and social church satire mix in 1880s notes
A long, argumentative column blends a Supreme Court ruling condemning futures gambling with social commentary on betting, religion, and politics. It scorns cotton futures as a “monster,” mocks wealth and idle luxury, and covers local oddities from Alabama to Georgia, plus oblique notes on politics, education, and a funeral.
