New York, Sept. 19.-Declines OF
late last week were followed by sharp
recoveries in the cotton market here
today. The late cables from Liverpool
were relatively steady with the ad-
vices that the reported decline there
had brought an increased trade de-
mand. and the local market opened
firm at an advance of from 80 to 3S
points. There was little southern
selling but it was well absorbed by
covering and before the end of the
first hour the active months were
from so to so points above Saturdays
close.

lows: Jan. 1926, March 1922, May

WILSON ATHLETIC
ASSO. MEETING
Discusses Action of President
Bradley and Plans to Meet
the Situation.

Since President Bradley's an
nounced decision to forfeit all games
participated in by the Wilson team
from July 5th. to the 23rd. the
Wilson Athletic Association has held
a meeting at the call of President
Eagles, and has made plans to do
whatever is possible to protect the
interests of the Wilson team. The
directors were rather indignant at
the attitude of the President of the
League, and felt that they, represent
ing the Wilson Athletic Association,
have not been given a square deal in
the Virginia League. The directors
reviewed the matter from all angles,
and decided to take whatever steps
are necessary to protect the rights of
the Wilson team. Not a single thing
is going to be left Endone, and there
was a strong feeling that with all the
facts I'M the case disclosed, in addi-
tion to a portrayal of the activities
of the various clubs in the League,
that our case might receive more ia
yorable consideration.
No matter. what the outcome of
the League meeting Tuesday night
the directors will carry the matter
just as far as it is possible, and will
fight the case to the limit, legally
and through baseball channels, even
presenting our claims to Judge
Landis if such be necessary. For
this purpose several of the directors
are busy accumu1ating data that may
be of service to the local club.
In any case the fact remains that
we feel that our rights have been
disregarded, and that other clubs
are about to receive the fruits of
rather shady tactics, backed by de-
cision of the League President which
may not bear the closest possible in
spection. With the intention of fight
ing to the limit the justice of the
case the representatives leave Tues
day morning for Richmond to place
before the League our claims, and if
necessary they will carry the matter
beyond the League.

And so it was that Algy Longworth

and fury in their hearts, watched the
limp form of their leader being car
ried into the central room. Swathed
in rope, they sat motionless and inn
potent, in their respective chairs,
while they watched the same process
being performed on Drummond. He
was no amateur at the game, was the
rope-winder, and by the time he had
finished, Hugh resembled nothing so
much as lifeless brown mummy.
Only his head was free, and that lolled
forward helplessly.
Lakington watched the performance
for a time; then, wearying of it, he
strolled over to Algy's chair.

Toby laughed.
Don't shake his nerve, Algy," he
implored. "For the first time in his
filthy life he feels safe in the same

The taunt seemed to madden LAX

and lashed Sinclair over the face. But
even after the sixth cut no sound came
from the helpless man, though the
blood was streaming down inside his

met those Of the raving man in front

WOULDN'T STAND FOR REBUKE
Begear Woman Had Her Own Point Of

Was Engaged In.

Secretary Lawson Purdy Of the
Charity Organization society said at
a dinner in New Yok:
professional beggars are self
righteous crew. What mean is that
they regard their trade the same as
you and / regard honest work. One
winter afternoon 1 came on a beggar
woman I knew of old. She was beg
ging in bitter wind on corner, and
three little children in calico rags shiv-
cred at her side.
"'You-Jane,' said reproachfully.
'You-begging And those three little
ones! They aren't really yours at
all!'
"'Well, damitall,' said the beggar
woman. I wouldn't have to beg so
hard If they were really mine, for
then I wouldn't be forking over a dol

Solar Energy in plants.

The estimate is made that the
amount of solar energy stored in
plants each year is % times the
amount of energy represented by the
coal consumed in the same period
About 67 per cent of this plant energy
is taken up by the forests; "a per
cent by cultivated plants; per cent
by grass of the steppes and prairies.
and 2 per cent by the plants of desert
lands. The energy received by forests
alone is Ii times the energy of the
coal used. But unfortunately the for
ests that receive this energy are main
ly in the tropics. In temperate re-
gions we are depicting the forests
just as we are exhausting the coal
supply; further justifying the proph-
ecy that centers Of manufacture. and
therefore presumably Of civilization
itself, will ultimately shift back to-
ward the equator.-Dr. Henry SmiU
Williams, in Hearst's Magazine.

switched on the electric light; then he
opened the door.
An excited night-porter rushed in,
followed by two or three other people
in varying stages of undress, and
stopped in amazement at the scene.
The heavy cupboard, with a great
crack across the back, lay face down
ward on the floor; the native still lay
curled up and motionless.
"One Of the hotel pets?" queried
Hugh pleasantly, lighting cigarette.
"If it's all the same to you, / wish
you'd remove him. He was-ah-find-
ing it uncomfortable on the top of the
cupboard"
1t appeared that the night-porter
could speak English; it also appeared
that the lady occupying the room be-
low had rushed forth demanding to
be led to the basement, under the mis-
apprehension that war had again been
declared and the Germans We're bomb
ing Paris. And then, to crown every
thing, while the uproar was at it's
height, the native on the floor, open
ing one beady and somewhat dazed
eve, realized that things looked un-
healthy. Unnoticed, he lay "doggo''
for while; then, like rabbit which
has almost been trodden on, he lodged
between the legs of the men in the
room, and vanished through the open
door. Taken by surprise, for mo-
ment no one moved: then, simultane-
ously, they dashed into the passage.

The American gazed at the wreck
age in silence. Then he looked at
Hugh. and what he saw on that
worthy's face apparently decided him
to maintain that policy. In fact, it
was not till the night-porter and his
attendant minions had at last and

CONVERTED IN STRANGE WAY
Woman Led to See Beauties of Chris
tianity Through Advice Given
by Brahmin Theosophist.

How a woman was converted to
Christianity by Brahmin is told in
the Boston Herald by Miss Lillian Free
man Clarke.
Celia Thaxter, the poetess, was an
earnest student of strange and mys-
tical teachings. At one time she was
much dominated by the teachings OF
ate the beauty and power of the Bible.
She saw a good deal of Hindu
theosophist named Blohini, and under
his guidance came to regard herself
as a theosophist.
One day she said to her friend, Mary
Parknan, "Did l speak contemptu-
ously of such a person? I ought not
to, for one of the principles of the
osophy is to feel no contempt for any
human being"
Miss Parkman replied: "But did
not Jesus teach that? Is it not all in
the Sermon on the Mounts"
By and by Mohini himself happened
TO get hold of copy of the New Tes-
lament, and was much surprised and
impressed by the beauty of its con-
tents. He spoke of it to Mrs. Thaxter.
and found 60 his amazement that she
knew nothing about the New Tesla
ment.
"What!" he said. "You do not read
your own religious books? I never
heard anything more beautiful than
this"
Mrs. Thaxter forthwith began to
read the New Testament and became
so much interested in it that she went
about with "a copy in her pocket |:
whenever she had chance she would
read it. From that time she began to
attend Phillips Brooks church. She
was converted to Christianity by o
Brahrnin theosophist!

Thinking of me, precious?" asked
Alphonse.
Indirectly, yes; l have been think

''And l will not have people say un-
kind things about you, so l have ar
ranged to give my fortune to the mis-
sionaries. Why, Alphonse, where are

Alphonse paused long enough on his
way to the door to look back and
mutter: ''I'm going to be a mission
ary."
