No Gentleman.

: In London they are telling this
story of Max Beerbohm, who, it ap-
pears, was so unlucky as to lose his
umbrella at the Carlton club, says the
Literary Digest:
With his usual factiousness, he
had caused a notice of his loss to be
posted in one of the club rooms, in
these terms:
The nobleman who took the un-
dersigned's umbrella will confer a
great favor by leaving it with the
clerk Of this club"
Some members demonstrated with
Beerbohm, saying that it was a gra-
tuitous affront to state that a noble
man had taken the umbrella.
Il have worked it out quite logi-
cally," said Beerbohm. Its very
plain. The bylaws Of this club state
that the membership thereof is com
posed of noblemen and gentlemen;
and since the person who took my
umbrella is certainly no gentleman,
it follows that he must be noble
man."

The Cotton Loan.

The cotton loan committee last
week sent out from headquarters IN
New York a supplemental circular OF
advice to the State and local commit
tees, imposing further restrictions on
cotton loans. The chief of the new
regulations applies tC the better pro-
lection of cotton from the weather,
the requirement that it be kept under
cover being insisted upon. This par
ticular feature ought to work to the
good of the farmer whether or not
he wants a loan on his cotton, for
the habit of dumping bale OF cot
ton on the ground in the barn lot, or
at the house, still prevails generally
over the South. To secure a loan at
all, it must be shown that the cotton
is actually within warehouse. There
has been objection to the cotton loan
plan by reason of the fact that loans
are not made. on less than 100 bale
lots. To meet this objection club
bing system has been devised. 1t is
explained in the New York journal
of Commerce that in order to afford
the holders of small amounts of cot
ton the opportunity of borrowing
from the fund, number of appllca-
tions for loans may be combined I'M
til the security offered aggregates one
hundred or more bales of cotton OF
the required grades (none of which
shall be under low middling') and
such applications may be transmitted
through a bank or banker who will
make subscriptions to class "B' GER
tifcates equal to % per cent. of the
aggregate face amount of the appll-
cations, provided, however, that no
application will be considered for a
loan upon less than twenty bales OF
approximately 500 pounds each. In
this connection it must be recalled
that loans will only be made upon
the basis of 6 cents pound for
"middling," and that. on such basis,
margin of 20 per cent. above the
amount applied for must, in each in
stance. be provided-Charlotte OBJ

tinuing to offer this ten cents cotton
plan, and also announces that notes,
payable one year (or longer) from
