the treasury department, has stiffen-
ed appreciably during the last rev
days, sales being reported at from
1-Sc to s Use per pound and that it Is
likely to go higher. On August 20
when the cotton conference was held
at the treasury department, cotton
was reported as selling in many
places in the South at from to 8 1-2c
per pound.
There is no reason, in my opinion,
for the pessimism which prevails IN
many quarters of the South about cot
ton. The assistance which the federal
government is extending to the banks
through the issuance OF national
bank currency against notes secured
by cotton warehouse receipts, al
ready has greatly improved the situa-
ton"

PULITZER ESTATE
WORTH S32,0OO,OO0
Good Will Of ST. Louis POst-Dispatci
Appraised Sl1.eO2.

New York, Sept. 22.-The second
appraisal of the estate OF Joseph
Pulitzer, the publisher who died IN
1911, was filed today in the hall OF
records. The first appraisal, winch
was rejected by Surrogate Coghlanx
upon the ground that the state
should be valued at about $32OO0,O00,
estimating the real and personai
property at $1s,525,115. The new APP
praisal fixes the gross valuation at
S20,355,9S4.
This increase in valuation is reck-
oned solely upon the personal pron-
erty. H6Wt0
reckon the same. $S,27S,000. the
higher appraisal is due chiefly to the
increase valuation of the stock OF the
press Publishing company, publishing
the Post-Dispatch Of st. Louis, MO
The good will of the publication Is
estimated at ssil;sO2. and the two AS As
ISOLATED Press franchises at $24O,ooo
each.

And he looked up. and saw the rIcn
men casting their gifts into the treas

2, And he saw also a certain poor
widow casting in thither two mites.
8. And he said, OF a truth | say
unto you, that this poor widow hath
cast in mere than they all:
4. For all these have Of their album
dance cast in unto tie offerings OF
God: but she of her penury hath cast
in all of the living that she had.
5. And as some spake OF the tenn
pie, how it was adorned with goodiy
stones and gifts, he said,
6. AS for these things which ye be-
hold. the days will come, in the which
there shall not be left one stone upon
another, that shall net be thrown
down.
!. And they asked him, saying
Master, but when shall these things
be? and what sign will there be when
these things shall come to pass?
8. And he said, Take heed that We
be not deceived: for many shall come
in my name, saying, | am Christ; anc
the time draweth near: go ye not
therefore after them.
8. But when ye shall hear of wars
and connections, be not terrified: for
these things must first come to pass
but the end is not by and by.
10. Then said he unto them, Ma
ton shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom:
II. And great earthquakes shall be
in divers places, and famines, and
pestilences; and fearful sights and
great signs shall there be from heav-
en-.
II. But before all these. they shall
lay their hands on you, and persecute
you, delivering you up to the syna-
gogues, and into prisons, being
brought before kings and rulers foI

10. And it shall turn to you for q
testimony.
IA. Settle it therefore in yeul
hearts, not to mediate before what

Baltimore, Md, Sept. ZZ.-Repre-

an synods in this country, the Luther
league of America is. holding it's BIZ
ennial convention here, commencing
today and continuing through the
gath. This is undoubtedly one of the
largest conventions of the younger
people ever held, and one of the aims
of the league is to bring into better
relations the many different branches
in which the Lutherans of this coun-
try are separated. 1t is expected
that this session will assemble the
plans for the big celebration which is
to mark the 400th anniversary OF the
birth OF Martin Luther, which occurs
in three years. There are nearly g
thousand delegates now in this city
and several members Of congress are
numbered with them.

COWARDLY AND TNCOCTH.

Several CT the patriotic women VINO
assumed the burden of aiding in the
placing of distress cotton under the
buy-a-bale plan with the sole motive
of aiding the South and this com
munity make reports that are as sur
prising as they are regreable.
/ Several males declared there was
! graft. in the plan, and in doing so
insulted the ladies whom were pre-
senting the South's appeal.
1t was cowardly because ladies are
not the ones to whom such statements
should be made.
None OF the men and women as
sociated with the Buy-a-Bale club in
Pine Bluff have caught to gain from
the success of the plan; they are
working solely for the benefit of the
community, and 70 assert anything
else does grave injustice.
The Graphic has taken a promin-
ent part in the movement entirely
Will d view vi Inc le&i "a
this section and of having Pine Bluff
do it's share in the work which is
forcing cotton prices upwards. More
than that, members of The Graphic
company and of The Graphic staff
have purchased cotton at 10 cents,
yet they are probably less pecunfarily
Interested than most others. Especial
1y is this true of members of the
staff, for if the town should ego
dead" these would simply pack their
little trunks and HE themselves to
other fields and o.ner jobs. But these
men believe that a. town which is good
enough to live in is good enough to
aid. Hence they bought cotton at 10
cents.
If there is any evidence of double
dealing, as several males asserted to
the ladies', The Graphic wants to
know it. NOT only The Graphic, but
the officers and members of the Buy
a-BaIe club want to know it. And any
man who has such evidence would
present it to the men and not make
unsupported charges to ladies',
| Unless one is prepared to furnish
evidence of a charge; unless one is
prepared to face the people he ac-
cuses instead of doing the braggart
before women, why real men natural
| ly associate him with the class COM
monty known, as liars.
The Graphic stands ready to take
back anything it has said in this con-
nection if it can be shown the
| language is undeserved. In othei
word. The Graphic will admit it il
wrong if the proof of the charges are
produced.

sTTPEyDOTS LOSSES

Several dispatches from Nish nave
served only OF corroborate earlier In
formation as to the losses sustained
by Austria in the battle of the Drina,
Out Of 100000 Austrians engaged, TO-
900, it Is said, were killed, 30,ooo,
wounded and $4,000 made prisoners.
It is to be hoped that this almost
unparalleled record of waste and SUI
fering is somewhat exaggerated.
But the history of RECENT wars gives
little ground for hope. octave Laur-
ent, surgeon of st. Johns hospital
Brussels, who was with the troops IN
The Balkans for eleven months has
issued a volume on the war in bui-
garia and Turkey from the Eolnt Oh
view of a surgeon. He repeats come
statistics already published in re-
gard to the losses of the Bulgarlans.
At the beginning of the Balkan war,
Bulgaria had a population OF about
4 100000 and put into the field more
than 100000 soldiers. In the first war
30 .OG0 were killed and about o3,OOo
wounded. In the second war l6,0oO
were killed and $4,000 wounded. Thus
one-third of the effective force OF the
entire army, or 3 per cent OF the
population of the country were either
killed or wounded. The deaths reach
| ed one in twelve of the whole army,
one iu four of the wounded, and one
lid hundred Of the entire population
Summing up the results" says the
Journal of the American Medical as

$50 900 men were killed and wounded
on both sides, and of these more tnan

of the iBergalnitsa in the six days
| from June 80 to July 5. He quotes
