POPE PIUS X IS DEAD. Horror* of War Hastened End of Head of llomish Church. Home. Ituly, AUK. 20.-The Pope's death occurred at 1.20 o'clock this (Thursday) morning. Grief over the war in Europe caus ed the Po|>e much depression from thc first outbreak, and several days ago symptoms appeared of the old bronchial affection from which thc Pontiff had suffered In times past. On Tuesday Dr. Marchiafava an nounced that the Poj>e was suffering from a simple cold, and that possibly complete rest for a week would re store him to his usual health. The bronchial condition spread, however, and on Wednesday it was announced that the Pope's condition was seri ous. Those (lose to the Pope believe that grief over the war situation brought on the final crisis and so overwhelmed him that he was nim ble in his 80th year to withstand still another attack of his <>I<1 enemy, gouty catarrh. Ill health has been the Pontiff's lol for many years, and intermittent ly the attacks have been so serious that tho world was prepared several times to hear of his passing. Dur ing the summer there had been num erous denials from the Vatican thai his Indisposition was serious. As late as August lt?, last, upon the oc casion of the llth tnniversary of his ascension, Pope Pms granted numer ous audiences. Two days later it became known that he had cancelled virtually all en gagment8. His attendants reported he was unable to work and that ho sat listless and silent for hours, evi dently brooding over the great clash Of arms In Europe. Dr. Marchiafava ordered him to bed on August lt?, when it was ir. nounced that the war and the intense heat in Rome had combined to de press him. In bed he continued to dream of the conflict by night and to discuss it by day. "I shall not cease to implore God to put a stoi> to this inhuman butch ery," he declared. His physicians had to deal with this mental condi tion as well as physical suffering. Arrangements were made by which Cardinal Merry Dei Val would ren der a daily report of the war situa * II I lilli; |l The break between Austria mid Servia frohl the first became a source of great grief to him. for the Vati can was most friendly toward both nations. He was inexpressibly shock ed, he said, ai the assassination of Archduke Piamis Ferdinand, the heir to the Austrian throne, who. like all the Hapsburg8, was an ardent Catholic, and was sympathetic to ward little Servia, with which i lu Vatican but recently had concluded a friendly concordat. The Pope's views of peace, embod ied In an allocution delivered at the consistory, at which he created thir teen new Cardinals last May, consti tuted such a remarkable document that the Carnegie Peace Union, founded In February by Andrew Carnegie, with an endowment of $2,0(10,000, decided to begin among the clergy of the Roman Catholic ('burch its educational activities In behalf of the disarmament and arbi tration by sending to each of the 28,000 priests of the United Stages and Canada a copy of this allocution. In it the Pope referred to "men of distinction and force planning sellemos for preventing ih?> calami ties of revolutions and the slaughter Of war and for insuring the blessing of peace," which, coupled with the fact that he spoke at length with the three American Cardinals- Gibbons, Farley and O'Connell was inter preted as referring to the efforts of President Wilson and Secretary Itryan in behalf of universal pea. e. \V.

The federal law requires that every bank that Joins must empower its presi dent or vice president with a certain ilxed resolution, and so anxious were the assembled bankers to-day to fol low the exact law in every detail to avoid delay and correspondence that only such banks as sent tho formal resolutions and the proper represen tation were accepted into the fold.

The meeting (held at the Jeffer son Hotel? was presided over by W. A. Clark, of Columbia. The banks joining tho association to-day have a capital and surplus of $8,308,300, and the remaining banks will run the capitalization up lo close to $i(t.o(M).ooo.

To the Members of the Farmers' Un ion in South Carolina: Your committee on banking and currency, cotton warehousing and marketing was represented in Wash ington by the president and lt. M. Cooper, of the executive committee. Wc attended the hearings before A. F. Lever's committee of Congress on tlio cotton grading bill that is pending, attended the sessions of the Cotton Congress, went with a com mittee of hankers to see Secretary McAdoo, protested against his dis crimination against small hanks in depositing treasury funds for crop moving purposes, and held confer ences with Senators, Representatives and leading members of the Fanners' Union from nearly every Southern State. We believe that many amend ments will he made to the laws on banking and currency that will be of much benefit to the people who need to borrow money to hold crops, a td that new legislation will soon ho en acted to make farm products avail able as securities on terms more nearly meeting our needs and that will make such securities as liquid as the best commercial paper, and many times safer to the money lender. These improved conditions aro largely due to the same presentation of the tacts by the Farmers* Union delegates.

Below we give some Interesting opinions as expressed by high au thorities relative to the cotton situa tion as viewed In the light of Euro pean war influences. E. J. Gleny, president of the New Orleans cotton exchange, gays: "What are the conditions as we now see them from the viewpoint of supply and demand? The normal crop for the coining year, based on government ligures, promises in the | neighborhood of 14.000,000 bales. With Bngland and Europe entirely cut off from receiving any supply from America we should be face to face with a maximum consumption in tho United States and Canada-of about 7,000,000 bales. This would mean that the United States might have to carry 7,000,000 bales until normal or nearly normal trade con ditions could be resumed. But have we the right to conclude that such a condition is possible? England, the largest foreign consumer of Ameri can cotton, is also, statistically at least, the greatest power on the sea, and should she In the near future demonstrate her ability to control the sea, English, French, and neutral bot toms would be able to carry cotton to Liverpool and Manchester and neu tral ports without fear of capture, and instead of English mills running on short time, they would in all prob ability run under forced draft and materially increase their consump tion. "Under such conditions the exports to Great Britain and neutral powers could easily reach 5.000,000 bales, and we should have a consumption of ? about 12,000.000 bales for the com ing year, thereby leaving only 2.000. 000 bales to be added to the visible supply, which should not be a very depressing influence after the decline which has already taken place. Last vear the total consumption of Ameri can cotton in Germany, Austria, France and Belgium, the powers other than Great Britain now at war, amounted to 3,200,000 bales, which would be largely offset by the In crease In the takings of American, Canadian, English and other neutral mills. "To meet the financial requlre m il of f: .:?:> nd merchants In order thin I huj rv. ?ht < arrj h -ur plas until it ls wanted, which ii sure? >\ must \?- finally, thi United State! OU ld ' v . ch ?rn I ne to time among the banks of tho South, thereby enabling them to ad vance say $40 per bale for a period of six months or more. Thus the regular course of business need not be disturbed, and confidence In cot ton circles would be restored, which would be reflected In ali branches of business." Lacy ls Hopeful. The dominant note in the state ment of C. A. Lacy, president of the Memphis cotton exchange, was ra ther hopeful. Ile said in substance that he believed this year's crop would bring at least 12 cents a pound if the farmers did not become alarm ed and force the crop on the market and the government could be In duced to render aid in financing the holding of the crop until conditions cleared and improved. He thinks that while Germany and Austria usu ally take about 2,500,000 bales, the domestic (American) mills will con sume 25 per cent moro than usual and that therefore, with financial ar rangements to hold the cotton until English and other foreign mills can handle lt. would take care of the sit uation. Immediate Obligations. Richard H. Edmonds, editor of the Manufacturer's Record: "The cotton situation is in the hands primarily of growers and bankers, and their ability to keep two-thirds of the coming crop from the market until ocean transporta tion is available will determine the outcome. Short hositlitios will in duce a slightly diminished demand for raw cotton, even after peace. Pro longed war will check materially Eu ropean buying of the staple, but re sult Sn better markets, perhaps per manently, for American colton goods tn other countries. "American mills are equipped, if run lo full capacity, to handle In an emergency at least 7,000,000 bales and probably more Instead of, as at present, 5,000,000 bales. The result ant home consumption would tend somewhat to counteract the foreign depressing effect. The general world demand for cotton goods ls increas ing despite temporary Interruptions; Taw cotton, not sold now, will he needed In tho future. "If Southern growers and bankers will work in unison to market crops slowly and lo hold the surplus till the return of peace, or until ocean commerce is free, and if American mills will buy as freely as the situa For Women Faculty of Christian men ai women of experience.

Government Loans. Governor O. B. Colquitt, of Texas, ays: "1 believe Congress ought to pass bill providing that the government iay extend advances direct to farm rs to the extent of $50 per bale to nable thom to meet their obliga lons and hold their cotton until thc resent war in Europe is over, thus nabling the farmers to reap the ben fit of any advance In price when Surope is in a position to take our otton. "We exported over 8,000,000 hales f cotton last year, most of it being liken hy countries In Europe now radically at war with each other, f our government will advance $50 er bale on this cotton which would e otherwise subject, to export, lt 'ould enable the farmers to secure ot less than that amount for cotton old to spinners in this country. Of ourse, the countries at war with ach other will lose their cotton trade rith other nations, and our manu f?c il rers will profit hy their loss of this usiness, hut our farmers should not e placed at the mercy of domestic pinners and speculators. The best elution therefore is for the govern lent to make direct advances on cot :>n under Insurance and In bonded rarehouses, or do so through hanks t a rate of Interest not to exceed 3 er cent." Remedial Measures Under Way. Summarizing tho situation and rglng government aid In passing tirough this critical period, the Pro ressive Farmer says: "Plans for remedying the cotton Itu?tlon seem to ho getting under ray If farmers will only meet, write nd act as they should.

'The one thing needed to avoid this condition is to arouse our farm ers and our Congressmen. Let every Progressive Farmer reader who makes even a bale of cotton write to his Congressman and say: 'I believe the government should help finance the cotton crop in the present crisis, and so arrange it that farmers can get this help without paying any body high interest or negotiation charges.' "Tho farmers have only to get busy in prodding Congress, meeting in every county to effect holding plans and celling pools, and the situation will he saved." Fired by Patriotism.
