THERE's MUCH SADNESS.

There is worry and dismay in the Vanderbilt family. so we are notiffsd, and all because the Austrian govern ment is not willing for Miss Gladys Vanderbilt to marry Count szechnyi.
 tThat is the way they spell his name, but we don't know what it stands for unless it has something to do with sneezing.)
 Letting the name pass. however. as we'll as we can, we come to the real trouble in the case. which appears to be that the vanderbllts do not belong to the nobility. They dote on nobii- ity over there. and the thought of q real Count becoming <he husband of me of the common herd is not to De borne with equanimity. or anything like it. We do, not know that there has ever been a nobleman. among the Vanderbilt ancestors. If so 1t was probably so far back that the blood has become too thin to be visible to the eyes of Austrian royalty of the present day.
 1t is easy to imagine the consterna- tion and dissatisfaction of the Wander Ibiit femininity. Miss Gladys has but recently come into possession of some- thing over dozen millions of the Van derbilt dollars. and of course she sup- posed that would purchase q frst-cIass count Almost simultaneously with the Knowledge of her inheritance came the snaeunessasat that Count sneezer had fallen desperately in love with her. That was according to the ft- mess of things from the view point of an impecunious foreign nobleman. l But the unromantic and unfeeling Austrian autocracy negatives the we'd ding proposition. The Count dates his ancestry back through some twelve centuries of Magyar ancestors, some of whom probably subsisted on roots and raw horse, but that matters not. They were nobles just the same. and If a Vanderbilt wants to hitch up with the present bearer of the title she must go back and dig up some noble ancestors of her own. This she will find hard job. old Cornelius, the founder of the American family. came from Holland. and that is as far back as can be gone for him. His wife was an orphan and the record on that side is binder than the other, There isn't noble in sight for Gladys to fall back on and that may end it. The chances are that she will have to take her money to anoth- CT market Even twelve millions, it seems will not buy an Austrian count

The older the country the denser is the population and con sequently the less ground is left unoc- cupied by human habitations and other structures And where comparatively little land is left, necessity compels that it be made to yield food directly. instead of indirectly. for the harvest from a given area has greater nutri- tive value than the food animals from the same area would have.

Tte Eaect on Cotton.

There is one phase Of the tight money market which is especially re- grettable.1 sad thoug ghtfui farmer yesterday. Tt will interfere to some ex- tent with the plans adopted for hold ing. cotton throughout the South for a higher price.
 "rhe condition is unfortunate when, according to all appearances, great united movement was being made to market tie cotton in an orderly and intelligent manner. But of the cotton being held much has outstanding ob- ligations. And, of course. the banks which are not cashing large checks against depositor's account will hard ly lend money on stored cotton. The average cotton raiser on the 1st of November needs some financial assist ance when ha wishes to carry hts cot ton over to spring.
 '.So the Southern farmer will most feel the pinch of tight money in his effort to held his cotton: The holding most satisfactorily. At this late date the stringency is liable to undo much of the patriotic work already done. for a systematic and intelligent marketing of the grea. staple crop of the South.r
