John Wannamaker Brings Wrath Upon
His Head From Ben Tillman.
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

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. I will be glad to
supply you with matrices of any one
of the illustrations, with my compliments,
and you can use either the
text in my announcements or such
text as you may prefer to substitute

Hon. Benj. R. 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:

THE BOLL WEEVIL.
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.
Papa's Haircut.
A woman said to a little boy with
his hair bobbed on his neck:
"Franklyn, when are you going to
have your hair cut like papa's?"
"I don't want my hair cut like papa's,"
he replied, "with a hole in the
top."?Topeka Capital.

THE COTTON OUTLOOK.
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

there is danger of that very bullishness

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. Indian;
apolis, within the last score of yrears,
: has had as many as a dozen centenj
arians, one of whom, James Hub,
bard, of Mapleton, lived to be nearly
j 106. 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~ ?

of the blood, examined. Parr's body
after death and reported that he
found it remarkably stout and
healthy, without any trace of decay
or organic disease. But for that trip
; to London and the high life he en;
countered there old Parr might have
attained even a much greater age.?
