Some members remonstrated wil Beerbohm, saying that it was a gr; tuitous affront to state that a nobl man had taken the umbrella. "I have worked it out guite log cally," said Beerbohm. "It's vei plain. The by-laws of this club st?y that the membership thereof is cor posed of noblemen and gentlemei and since the person who took n umbrella is certainly no gentiema it follows that he must be a nobl man." The Cotton Loan. The cotton loan committee la week sent out from headquarters : New York a supplemental circular i advice to the State and local commi tees, imposing further restrictions c cotton loans. The chief of the ne regulations applies to the better pr tection of cotton from the weathe the requirement that it be kept und< cover being insisted upon. This pa ticular feature ought to work to tl good of the farmer whether or n< he wants a loan on his cotton, f< the habit of dumping a bale of co ton on the ground in the barn lot, < at the house, still prevails general over the South. To secure a loan ; all, it must be shown that the cottc is actually within a warehouse. Thei has been objection to the cotton Ion plan by reason of the fact that loa: are not made^on less than 100 ba lots. To meet this objection a clul bing system has been devised. It explained in the New York .Journ; of Commerce that in order to affoi the holders of small amounts of co ton the opportunity of borrowir from the fund, a number of applic; tions for loans may be combined in tii-the security offered aggregates or hundred or more bales of cotton < the required grades (none of whic shall be under "low middling") ar such applications may be transmits through a bauk or banker who wi make subscriptions to class "B" ce tificates equal to 25 per cent, of tl aggregate face amount of the appl cations, provided, however, that r application will be considered for loan upon less than twenty bales i approximately 500 pounds each. 1 this connection it must be recalh that loans will only be made upc the basis of 6 cents a pound f< "middling," and that, on such basi a margin of 20 per cent, above tl amount applied for must, in each ii stance, be provided.?Charlotte O server.

Cash Plan?Where the student p ^ enrolling pays cash for scholarship, a f "War Discount" of $10.00 will be allowed and Railroad fare of the a student to Columbia will be paid by j '0U the College.
