Another humorous, not to say significant, side S)f the recent presiden* tial campaign is presented in the following interesting correspondence between Hon John Wannamaker and Senator B. R. Tillman. During the campaign, it seems. Mr. Wannamaker, as part of his contribution to the Republican cause, had prepared and published at his own expense in many of the leading newspapers of the North, a series of twelve full-page advertisements exploiting the Republican candidates and Republican doctrines. It also appears that he went further and offered these advertisements to other ''patriots" throughout the country, for insertion in newspapers r of their own choice and at their own ' expense. Such an offer, for some reason or other, was made to Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, in the following letter: Private Office John Wannamaker Philadelphia. Philadelphia. October 24, 1916. Dear Mr. Tillman:?I am enclos ing proofs of twelve full-page adver* tisements which I have ordered published, at my own expense, in leading newspapers in the largest cities in Pennsylvania, \ew Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, and West Virginia. In most of the newspapers I shall publish only one fullpage, but in at least one of the leading newspapers I - shall publish ten full pages. It occurred to me fhat it might be helpful to you to have these proofs *? t ! > a /iIacip o /I o in your IlcUlUd UClUic die ua,> S3 of the campaign. If you should decide personally, or acting through the local city or county committees, to arrange for the publication of similar advertisements.

Tillman, Trenton, S. C. Now, it apears that the above let-! ter either did not reach Senator Tollman until after the election, or did not receive his attention; but when! he finally saw it, he took his pen in hand and indicted the following char-1 acteristic reply, which, no doubt, set Mr. Wannamaker to thinking 011 the ! error of his ways: Trenton, S.

What Georgia and South Carolina May Expect From It. j In 1904 the boll weevil invaded a | half dozen parishes or counties in | western Louisiana; by 1910 every I part of the state was infested. In i 1 904 Louisiana produced 1,0S9,52G ! bales of cotton; in, 1910 the same ; State produced 245,000 bales. In | 1 904, Mississippi's biggest cotton I year, the State produced 1,789,000 I bales; in 1915, with the weevil in prprv pnnntv in the State, the total yield of 2,768,627 bales, and that south of parellel thirty-three, 1,418,; 592 bales were produced. Now, if production in the Georgia counties lying south of parellel thirty-three is cut as heavily as was the case in Louisiana and .Mississippi, the crop will be only 22.6 per cent of that of I 1911, or 320,601 bales?a loss of 1,097;991 bales. The writer believes it fair to assume that in South Carolina south of parellel thirty-four the weevil will encounter condition?favorabble and unfavorable?that will average about the same as those found between parallels thirty-three and thirty-one in -the Gulf States. If this be the case, then South Carolina, south of parellel thirty-four may expect a loss of something like 75 per cent when the weevil is at its worst, this loss, of course, ranging higher in the southern and lower in norehtrn part of the area. In South Carolina in 1911 the counties south of parellel thirty-four made 624,500 bales of cotton, and if this when theweevil is worst is cut 75 per cent., which we believe, in view nf the climatic conditions already re ferred to, may be expected, we will have a loss of 468,375 bales.

"I don't want my hair cut like papa's," he replied, "with a hole in the top."?Topeka Capital.

What the Wall Street Journal Thinks About It. If the Census Bureau figures of j amount of cotton ginned between No1 vember 1 and November 14 are re| markable for anything, it is in the ! dissipation of hopes based on earlier j figures. The figures for the first period showed almost twice as much cotton ginned as at the corresponding period of 1914, when the largest crop in our history was produced. By shutting their eyes to crop conditions, it was easy for some to figure out an enormous crop. But early promises were not made good. The ginnings for the first period were 75 per cent larger than in 1914; in the second period reported 'b^y were only 10 per cent larger. The third report seemed like calling a braggart's bluff, for the ginnings were 24 per cent smaller than for th? corresponding period of\1914. At the next report they dwindled to 34 per cent less, and this decrease has been somewhat enlarged in the latest return. From 75 per cent increase to more than 34 per cent decrease? what a falling off! The crop is made, and perhaps 90 per cent picked. For price purposes it makes little matter just what percentage is unpicked, for the crop is demonstrably short. The total amount einnpri nn to November 14. is 9,615, 833 bales. Consumption in the United States is running at rate of 7,000,000 bales a year. Probably 2,350,000 bales have been exported since August 1. Practically the entire ginnings are thus far marked for consumption, and eight months of exports yet to be provided for. It is not present supply, but future prospects that create a delicate situation. There is sufficient cotton to ' ' ' - * --< il- 1 ? day, Din wnai 01 me suppiv uciuicj another crop comes on the market? j The future outlook is bullish. Yet ! there is danger of that very bullishness creating a dangerous situation. with puff paste and bake until a rich brown. ^ I ~ ". /. A Modern Methuselah. Insurance companies in their life <' ' i tables now recognize that the span of human existence is extending. While i thp Rihliml limit nf fniir srnr? years was currently accepted a half century ago, the limit today is placed beyond that station on life's highj way, the "jumping off place" being | well into the nineties, and in some l cases at 100 and beyond.

The fullness of years is not i confined to Indianapolis. There are ! few counties in the State that cannot I "point with pride" to one or more centenarians. While these chronological veterans i may be envied, their years are few j when compared with those of the modern Methuselah, Thomas Parr, | whose bones found sepulture Novem! ber 15. in Westminster Abbey. Thomas Parr was born at Winnington, Shropshire, England, in 1483, and was a farm laborer. Till the age of eighty he continued a bachelor and then married his first wife, with whom he lived for tlnrty-two years. Eight years after her death, when he himself was 120 years old, he married for the second time. When in 1635 he had attained the age of 152 years, the Earl of Arundel took him to London and presented him at the court of King Charles f I. It would have been better had the Earl left the old man undisturbed in his native parish. His death was attributed to the fatigues of the journey and the crowds of visitors " % A Li n- TT~ ? wno tnrongea 10 see mm. ur. n?ivey, the discoverer of the circulation of the blood, examined.
