"BUY \ COTTON DRESS..

Mrs. Anna Kinchald Dent, of Yazoo to help the cotton farmer that should appeal strongly to every head of a family not only in the South, but in all parts of the country. She asks women to wear only cotton gowns and New Orleans dispatch says that already more than score of the Crescent City's leaders of fashions noted for their stunning gowns have agreed to discard silks and satins for cotton.
 Here is an enterprise that first blush looks impracticable, for the req son that it seems unreasonable to ex- pect that wome nwould discard the finer and costlier and handsomer fab rics for plain cotton. It seems too much to ask of women. They would cheerfully go hungry to help their fel- low creatures, but is it fair to ask them to wear sackcloth to show their patriotism?
 On the face of it, the proposition is not. feasible, but a little consideration shows that # the movement is proper ly directed it will be easy to persuade the women of the South to wear noth- ing but cotton.
 Make it "the style' to wear cotton, and silks and satins will be abandon ed.
 Spread the news that "they're wear ing cotton now, and there will be d rush for the cotton goods counters.

Every person in the Pine Bluff country should bear his part of the burden of carving for distress cotton. This means the farmer should sell only enough to get cash for actual immediate needs; that tue land owners and merchants should help the farmer to hold his cotton: that the banks should help the merchants and landowners, and that every busi- ness house and every employe of a business house of whatsoever charac- ter should help take off the market that cotton which must be sold now. If cotton is sold at or cents, even just a few bales of this distress cot ton, the remainder suffers. But if we will all aid in the "buy-a-balc move ment, therc1l be no cotton sold for less than 10 cents. This or g cents difference may mean to any one ot us the difference between profit and loss, or a job and idleness.

PRESS OPINIONS
THE COTTON PROBLEM.
Galveston News,

Galveston News.
 If the South can convince the world that it is going to grow only a small crop of cotton next year 1t will adopt the most effective means within it's pwore to solve the problem that now overshadows it. Establish tie convic- tion in all minds that next years acre. age will be so radically reduced as 10 make the crop much less than n'rr'al even though the reason should be Favorable beyond all experience, and there will have been generated bull ish influence which will immediately enhance the value of this years crop. Spinners, in that event, would buy more freely, even in advance of their requirements for the present or the immediate future, and they would be encouraged to pay more for what they should buy. From that assurance bankers would get confidence and courage, the evident lack of which is the great obstacle to the principal ap- plicatiOn of the means given them to finance this years surplus. Insure the magainSt even 2 normal crop next year and the value of cotton as se- curity for loans will be immediately and markedly enhanced. Not only would such assurance instil in the minds of spinners and spectators a confidence which would bring them into the market, and not only would it give bankers the confidence and incentive to lend, but it would en- courage a further impetus to the buy. a-bale movement. which has possi- bilities greater than a hasty consi.i- eration will desclose.,

which promises to save the South's principal crop from sacrifice.
 In other sections the women arc leading in movements to increase 'he consumption of cotton by wearing only cotton goods, and in New Orleans the society women have not Only ap- proved this plan but arc actively ca vassing for cotton orders under the "buy-a-bale" plan.
 That the Southern women of Fine Bluff will prove as true, loyal, partl- otic daughters of the South as any who grace the fair Southland is ac- cepted as proposition admitting not the slightest doubt.
 That's why it is confidently expect cd that "Buy-a-Bale" Day-Tuesday 22, will be a great success
 The executive committee of the local club paid a delicate compliment to the patriotism of the ladies by the assurance displayed in naming a com mittee without first ascertaining if hey would serve.
 These were Southern men, and they xnew that the Southern women are llways to be depended upon ill a .riSiS

It is unnecessary and unjust to throw in the suggestion that the buy a-bale" movement is charitable or even philanthropic enterprise. It IS neither. The man who buys bale of cotton gets value for his money. He is showing his public spirit by invest ing in cotton without taking advant- age Of the necessities of farmers, but he is doing only the square thing and it is altogether probable, accord ing to the opinions of those who ought to know, that he will get his money back and a fair profit with it. Public spirited, yes; charitable, no, Patriotic, yes; philanthropic, no.

 The future, perhaps, is anybody $ guess; but Hucrta is out, and d government that has some show to restored settled conditions is in, and only few American lives have been lost. The president and the secretary of state were rather lonesome ill ad- herring to the policy that has issued in this boodless fashion; but when they look across at Europe they are entitled to deep satisfaction.
 This country is mortified by the European slaughter.

MAYS DEPENDENCY ON WOMAN

"God knows everything" we are taught by our moral mentors, and II any are ever inclined to doubt the truth of this let him first consider the Infinite Wisdom through which Adam was given 2 mate bark younder in Eden. Only Superior Being could could have forseen that man could not get along without woman. And the centuries that have rolled by since have only piled up additional proof that while man may be able to. ac- complish little things without the aid of woman, and while he is proud Of his ability to do so, the fact remains that in any great undertaking man is absolutely helpless without woman.
 Some do not find themselves until inspired by woman. God only knows how many of the truly great men owe their greatness to the inspiration of the ONE woman, nor how many mill lions of others are fired with am- bition to achieve something and aided to success by the encouragement and confidence of women.
 How many of the belligercnt na- tions in Europe could long pursue the war were it not tor the noble women, aroused by patriotism, who assumed the burdens of the mill, commerce and farm that the men may be fed and be clothed while at the front?
 Only yesterday, and right here in Pine Bluff, we find the men appealing for aid to women; appealing with con- fidence that the women would re- spond as quickly and with the same loyalty and devotion to the South as did those noble ladies of the days ot '61'65, whose patriotism and love ot country enabled the sons of the South to carry on for five long years a war of principle; war history has recorded as the greatest conflict oi the world. Handicapped as it was the South could not have battled long had it not been for her loyal daught- CTS, who are as deserving of revenue as any of the Sou!h's valiant sons who went forth to battle.
 And once more the South has turned to it womanhoOd.
 In Pine Bluff they are asked to take the front ill 2 campaign designed tC remove from the market distress cot. ton; to relieve the needs of the cottor grower who must have some cash al once and in so doing maintain tht prosperity of the Pine Bluff country and aid in the patriotic movemen

To make this "buy-a- baie" move ment effective in Pine Bluff all purchases should be made through the "Buya-Bale" club Promiscous buying, even at the 10-cent price. does not fully meet the situation
 Promiscous buying may enable one farmer to sell all his cotton, while others equally deserving may be de- prived of the 10-cent rrice and forcel to sell for. less. Fortunately, the Pine Bluff cotton men seem to be disposed oaid the movement, and have placed a few orders under the buy plan where these will do the most good. However, to carry the plan through effectively, orders should be placed only with the Buy a-Bale" club. Address E. B. Bloom, secretary, Chamber of Commerce.

 20. And there was a certain beg gar named Lazarus. whichh was laid at his gate, full of sores,
 21. And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich mans table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
 22. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
 23. And being in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water. and cool my tongue; for 1 am tormented in this flame.
 g. But Abraham said, Son, re- member that thou in thy lifetime re- ceiyedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

 And he said also unto his dlsclples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.
 2. And he called him, and said un- to him, How is it that l hear this or thee? give an account of thy sheW- ardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
 8. Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the steward ship: cannot dig; to beg am ashamed
 4. I am resolved what to do, that when l am put out of the steward ship, they may receive me into their houses.
 ,. So he called every one of his lords debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much oWest thou unto my lord?
 6. And he said, An hundred meas ures of oil. And he said unto him Take thy bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.
 [. Then said he to another. And how much owest thou? And he said An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
