Charieston, Dec. "JO.?Stating that chairmen of the various State com'"mittees felt that a great many cnanges ought to be made in ord r to popularize the loan. It. G. Rhett, the chairman of the South Carolina Stat committee cotton loan plan that originated as the St. Louis fund, issued today a list of the county committees and committeemen through which th<plan will operate in this State. The committees as finally arranged in Sopth Carolina vary in number to suit the needs of the localities which tney represent, as surmise*i ev tin State committee, which listed its local nominees at a meeting held in Charleston more than two weeks ago. Concerning the operation of the loan, Mr. Rhett stated: "The State committee has completed its appointment of the local committees for each county. "Application blanks for loans have been forwarded to every bank in the State, with full instructions as to what has to be done in order to secure a loan. Briefly stated a borrower must first find some Southern bank, which is willing to take a class "B" certificate to the amount of nnefoie*n of the loan ho desires. When Afri^ (none he makes a note, payable imitiusc?~11|ary 191(3, with interest at [ C' ?-r cent, payable quarterly on the I day of May, August, November I and February, 1016, secured by cotton on a basis of o cents per pound middling. No cotton below the grade of "low middling" will be considered. The application must be made in amounts of $500, or multiples thereof, secured by 20 bales on $500, ami | multiples of the 20 bales for larger amounts. The cotton must be stored in an independent warehouse. The applicant must be a responsible party, exclusive o,f the cotton pledged. The insurance ptfhiiums must be paid and the policy assigned. The local bank must be responsible for the regular payment of interest and warehouse charges. ,'From the face of the loan there is deducted 3 per cent, which is tie posited in <i guarantee fund tc lie used, first, for the payment of expenses; second, for the payment of any loss which may be incurred bv holders of the class 'A' certificates, and third, for the payment of any loss which may be incurred by holders of the class 'B' certificates. Whatever is left is divided amongst the borrowers pro rata. "Inasmuch as every bank in the State has a copy of the application for loans and instructions with reference thereto, an own'er of cotton who desires to avail himself of the oppor1 tunity offered is invited to visit his local bank and see if he can make the proper arrangements under the terms of the circulars in its possession. A borrower can sell his cotton when he pleases but he must pay the interest up to the quarterly interest bearing period next suceeding the sale. .? "The blanks for applications and 1 instructions to local committees have boen sent out over the State and any one desiring a loan can obtain same by securing the cooperation of any local bank to the extent of one-quarter of the loan desired. Some local bank must take one-quarter of this loan in a class ,B' certificate or the general committee in New York will not receive the application. "The chairmen of the various State committees felt that a great many changes ought to be made in order to i popularize the loan, but they found that too many of the subscriptions had already been signed under the teims above referred to and there was no possiDiuty ol making any changes."

Did you tackle that trouble that came your way With a resolute heart and cheerful'.' Or hide your face from the light of day With a craven soul and fearful? O, a trouble is a ton, or a trouble is an ounce, O a trouble is what you make it: And isn't the fact that you're hurt, that counts, J But only?how did you take it? I You are beaten to earth? Well, what's that? Come up with a smiling face. It's nothin"- against you to fall down flat. But to lie there?that's disgrace. The harder you're thrown, why, the higher vou bounce; Be proud or your blackened eye! It isn't the fact that you're licked that counts; It's how did you fight?and why? And though you he done to the earth, what then? If you battled the best you could, If you played your part in the world of men, Why, the Critic will call it good. Death comes with a crawl or conies with a pounce; And whether he's slow or spry. It isn't the fact that you're dead that counts, But only?how did you die? ?Edmund Vance Cooke.
