The other two periods oc-1 | curied in Grant's and in Roosevelt's; ! terms. Washington died in December, 1788,. j or more than a year before John J Adams retired u* president. Always 'since then, until that sudden faiaiity at Northampton, there has been one or more ex-presidents. ! The largest number of living ex; presidents was live - Van Rureil, 1 y* Mir. Pierce. Fillmore and Ruehanan-vI wl'.en Lincoln was president. | Lives of our modern presidents are i far shorter than that of tire earliest | ones. The average age at which the first j ten Washington, Adams, Madison, I Monroe, John Q. Adams, Jackson, Van j Ruren, Harrison ami Tyler?died was | 78 years. Washington, <>7, youngest, and John Adams, 1H),. oldest. Their combined ages offers a startling contrast with that of the last 11 presidents. The average age of these was only !>.'{ years, or l?r> less than that of the first 10. No other public or private position in the world places so heavy a physical and mental burden upon a man as does that of president of the United States. . As the nation grows greater, new responsibilities are piled upon the man in the White House. ( alvin (oolidge had the serene temperament. physique and simple mode i.f life which any insurance company would normally underwrite for about mi \ears. The harrowing care of the presidency pu's actuarial calcinations clean out of focus. Kxrepting in the ease of Lincoln. Garfield and McKinley, who were assassinated. the most dramatic death of any president was that of J. Q. Adams. The "Old Man Eloquent" was long a congressman after he had been in the White House and he was mortally stricken while upon the floor of the house. General Harrison's death came swiftly to that old Indian campaigner, only a month after he became president. Grant's pathetic death had also a romantic tinge. He was literai^ writing his "Memoirs" upon his death bed?the final page almost exactly with his last breath. Riding for miles over his Mount Vernon plantation in a bleak December storm of sleet he was dead ^aTceTy" a day later as the result of -What popularly would be called pneumonia. Garfield was only U> when stricken down by Guiteau's spiteful bullet. Monroe, n soldier of the Revolution, came nearest to actual poverty after he had boon president, although only Grant's stubborn zeal in writing while J dying of cancer created a goodly estate for his family. Jackson's privations as a little boy exceeded even those of Lincoln, but he passed away in peaceful comfort at the "Hermitage." Hoover, Roosevelt and Washington were our wealthiest presidents. Taft as chief justice and the younger Adams as congressman were the only ones who held high public office after leaving the presidential chair. After Mailison's death the Nation purchased for $30,000, what are known as the "Madison Papers." embracing his invaluable personal account of the Constitutional convention held in Philadelphia in 1787. Coolsdge, Roosevelt. Wilson and Grant capitalized their literary abilities. Roosevelt received $100,000 for one book and Coolidge as much far a ser! ies of essays.

Coolidge's Intentions Never To Run Again I New York, Jan. 7.?A determine- J tion "never again to hold public of- 1 fice" because "we are in a new era j to which I do not belong," wau ex- j pressed by Calvin Coolidge, less than j a month before he died, to Henry L. Stoddard, journalist. In telling of a conversation he had with the former president at a New Ynik hotel on December 1-1, Stoddard, waiting in the Sun, quote* Mr. Coolidge as saying: "When I read of the new fangled things that are now so popular, I realize th.it my time in public affairs is past." i Commenting on the election, the former president said: "The Democrats probably will set! asido the Hoover measures and try some of their own. That only means j experimenting with legislation. The j big thing this country stands most in need of just now is economy. Un- i less congress can bring down expen-1 diturcs drastically, all other meas- j ures will not count for much. Prob- j ably the people will have to find a way out themselves." Commenting on President Hoover, he said: "A president on his way out is never given much consideration. That's politics. ... I made up my mind not to embarrass President Hoover by comments on his policies one way or the other, and I have never made any." Of his own future, he said: "Great changes can come in four years. These socialistic notions of i government are not of my day. When I was in office, tax reduction, lebt j reduction, tariff stability and econ- | omy were the things to which I gave j attention. We succeeded on those1 lines. "It has always seemed* to me that j common sense is the real .solvent for the nation's problems at all times?common sense and hard work. "When I read of the new fangled things that arc now so popular I realize that my time in public affairs is past. I wouldn't know how to handle them if I were called upon to do so. "That is why I am through with public life forever. I shall never again hold public office. I shall always do my part to help elect Republican candidates, for I am a party man, but in no other way shall I have anything to do with political matters. "I hear talk of nominating me for I president in 1936. That cannot be. I There is no way I can decline some- j thing not yet offered, but I am em- J barrassedr by the discussion of my name. I cannot answer letters or give interviews, but I want to sfopj it before it gets too far. I author- ; izo you to say publicly, in your own ! way and in your own time, that I am no longer to he considered fori any public office. . . "I do not think anything should be j sa;d until after the holidays; people; will not be paying much attention to j politics the next few weeks. "We are in a new era to which I | do not belong, and it would not be * possible for me to adjust myself to it. "These'new ideas call for new men to develop them. That task is not for men who believe in the only kind of government I know anything about." When asked by Stoddard if it would not be impossible for him to resist a demand for his election as president in 1936, Mr. Coolidge said: "It was not in 1928, and it will not be again. I am through with public life. You cannot state it too positively. Nothing would induce me to take office again." Admires Chitlings Of The Speaker > "I admire your chitlings." declared , J. D.

' " rv feurlH In The Fire A strange story comes from Japan which tells of the incineration of 700,000 pearls. But this is not a story to suggest a certain blaze which induced a Roman emperor to fiddle while his city burned. The Roman incident has been handed dpjyn to posterity as an example of wanton destruction while that in Japan may be termed one of good business. To Japan goes the credit for the discovery that a piece of shell or sand inserted in the shell of an oyster will force the occupant to protect itself from the irritation the foreign substance causes by encasing it in layers of pearl, When the work is finished and the oyster thinks it has done a good job and is completely at ease, the divers come along, hoist the bivalve to the deck of a boat where it is killed and the pearl is prepared for milady's necklace, car rings <iv other jewelry. It so happens that all oysters do not do good jobs and the result is that many imperfect pearls are harvested. They tend to depress the market prices and that is what caused the aforesaid burning. The leading Japanese dealer decided to destroy the imperfect gems and as a result of his act the market value of pearls jumped up 30 per cent. It was hard on the oysters which had worked so patiently to save their backs or bellies from the itch of the sand but it made money for the pearl dealers and, after all, making money seems to be the big thing in the world. Down in Brazil the coffee producers raised more coffee than the market could absorb. The industry was at low tide and prices were hopelessly demoralized. Coffee stocks filled docks and warehouses and Brazil's greatest industry was at a standstill. Then it was that some wise one suggested if coffee could not be sold it( might be burned. The government began to burn its holdings of the bean, producers did likewise and also cut down the coffee plants of inferior quality. The Brazilian planters in future will get a better price for their coffee and the world will drink a better brew. The cotton farmer of the South might take a tip from the pearl dealers and the coffee producers. Cotton ! is a drug on the market, yet we go ahead and raise enormous crops, much 1 of which is untenderable. The price ! sinks down below six cents, less than the cost of production, yet we continue to crowd the market with much cotton of inferior quality. In that respect we are like the oysters of Japan and the coffee farmers of Brazil. We cannot follow the plan of burning our cotton although the farmers of Nebraska are threatening to make ! fuel of their corn. What we can do, however, is to raise less cotton and improve the staple by decreeing acreage, planting better seed and intensifying fertilization and cultivation. We can plant the food and feed crops to supply home demand and stop the outflow of cash derived from the sale of cotton, that * annually amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars. We shall not have to burn our cotton if we adjust our farm programs to "the principle of supply and demand.?Spartanburg Herald.
