THE BOIL WEEVIL.
What Georgia and South Carolina
May Expect From 1t.

In 1904 the boil weevil invaded a
half dozen parishes or counties in
western Louisiana; by 1910 every
part of the state was infested. In
1904 Louisiana produced 1,0S9,526
bales of cotton; in. 1910 the same
State produced 245,000 bales. In
1904, Mississippi's biggest cotton
year, the State produced 1,7S9,O00
bales; in 1915, with the weevil in
every county in the State, the total
yield of 2,76S,627 bales, and that
south of parellel thirty-three, 1,41S,-
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
1911, or 32O,6O1 bales-a loss of
1,097,991 bales.
The writer believes it fair to as
sumo 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 par
allels thirty-three and thirty-one in
the Gulf States. If this be the case,
then South Carolina, south of parellel
thirty-four may expect loss of some
thing like Is per cent when the wee
vii is at it's worst, this loss, of course,
ranging higher in the southern and
lower in norehtrn part of the area.
In South Carolina in 1911 the coun-
ties south of parellel thirty-four made
624,5O0 bales of cotton, and if this
when theweevil is worst is cut Is
per cent, which We believe, in view
of the climatic conditions already re-
ferred to, may be expected, we will
have a loss of 46S,375 bales.

A Modern Methuselah.

Insurance companies in their life
tables now recognize that the span of
human existence is extending. While
the Biblical limit of four score years
was currently accepted half CEN
tury ago, the limit today is placed
beyond that station on life's high
way, the jumping off place" being
we'll into the nineties, and in some
cases at 100 and beyond. Indian
apolis, within the last score of years,
has had as many as dozen centen-
arians, one of whom, James Hub
bard, of Mapleton, lived to be nearly
106. The fullness of years is not
confined to Indianapolis. There are
few counties in the State that cannot
point with PRIDE to one or more
centenarians.
While these chronological veterans
may be envied, their years are few
when compared with those of the,
modern Methuselah, Thomas Parr,
whose bones found sepulture Novem-
Der Is, in Westminster Abbey.
Thomas Parr was born at Winning
ton, Shropshire, England, in 1883,
and was a farm laborer. Till the age
of eighty he continued bachelor
and then married his first wife, with
whom he lived for thirty-two years.
Eight years after her death, when
he himself was 120 years old, he
married for the second time.
When in 1885 he had attained the
age of 1852 years, the Earl of Arun-
del took him to London and present
ed him at the court Of King Charles
I. It would have been better had
the Earl left the old man undisturb-
ed in his native parish. His death
was attributed to the fatigues of the
journey and the crowds of visitors
who thronged to see him. DR.. Har-
vey, the discoverer of the circulation
of the blood, examined PARIS 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

THE COTTON OUTLOOK.
What the Wall Street Journal Thinks
About 1t.

If the Census Bureau figures of
amount of cotton ginned between No.
vember 1 and November IA are re-
markable for anything, it is in the
dissipation of hopes based on earlier
figures. The figures for the first Pc
riod showed almost twice as much
cotton ginned as at the corresponding
period of 1914, when the largest crop
in our history was produced. By shut
ting 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 Is per cent larger than in 1914;
in the second period reported th"y
were only 10 per cent larger. The
third report seemed like calling a
braggart's bluff, for the ginnings
were "a per cent smaller than for the
corresponding period of 1914. At
the next report they dwindled to "a
per cent less, and this decrease has
been somewhat enlarged in the latest
return. From rs per cent increase
to more than "a per cent decrease
what a falling off!
The crop is made, and perhaps 80
per cent picked. For price purposes
it makes little matter just what per-
centage is unpicked, for the crop is
demonstrably short. The total amount
ginned up to November IA, is 9,615,-
833 bales. Consumption in the
United States is running at rate of
100000 bales year. Probably g.
$4,000 bales have been exported
since August /. Practically the en-
tire 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 delicate stu
alton. There is sufficient cotton to-
day. but what of the supply before
another crop comes on the market?
The future outlook is bullish. Yet
there is danger of that very bullish-
ness creating a dangerous situation.

Hon. Benz. R. Tillman, Trenton, S. G.
Now, it apears that the above let
ter either did not reach Senator Fill
man 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
acteristic reply, which, no doubt, set
Mr.. Wannamaker to thinking on the
error of his ways:
Trenton, S. c., Nov. Is, 1916.
Mr.. John Wannamaker, Philadel-
phia, Pa.
My Dear Mr.. Wannamaker:-
Somehow | missed seeing your letter
of October oath until this morning,
and although it is long after the
wedding" or Funeral whichever
you consider it, I feel compelled to
let you know that l am Democrat,
and am wondering why you ever
thought of sending me your adver-
tisements, or wrote me personal
letter about them.
Millionaires like you ought to be
ashamed of using their money for
such purposes. Thank God! the peo-
pie of the United States have taught
you rich men a lesson which you
ought to take to heart, and remem-
ber that the North and East do not
control the United States as they
have done since the civil war, but the
South and West can now raise their
voices and be heard in the struggle
for the granting of justice to all. The
South and West have seen your ad-
vertisements and how you have spent
your money, and sympathize with
you in your disappointment-which
must have been a cruel awakening.
| would be glad to have some ex-
planation and expression of your
present sentiment and feelings.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) B. R. TILLMAN.

TILLMAN OFFERED ADS.
John Wannamaker Brings Wrath Up
on His Head From Ben Tillman.

Another humorous, not to say sig
nificant, side >of the recent presiden-
tial campaign is presented in the fol-
lowing interesting correspondence be-
tween Hon John Wannamaker and
Senator B. R. Tillman.
During the campaign, it seems, Mr..
Wannamaker, as part of his contrl-
button to the Republican cause, had
prepared and published at his own
expense in many of the leading news
papers of the North, series of twelve
full-page advertisements exploiting
the Republican candidates and Re-
publican doctrines.
It also appears that he went fur
>ther and offered these advertisements
to other :'patriots" throughout the
country. for insertion in newspapers
of their own choice and at their own
expense. Such an offer, for some rea-
son or other, was made to Senator
Tillman, of South Carolina, in the
following letter:
Private Office
John Wannamaker
Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, October "a, 1916.
Dear Mr.. Tillman:-I am enclos-
ing proofs of twelve full-page adver-
tisements which 1 have ordered pub
1ished, at my own expense, in lead
ing newspapers in the largest cities
in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New
York, Connecticut. Delaware, and
West Virginia. In most of the news
papers I shall publish only one full
page, but in at least one of the lead
ing newspapers ishall publish ten
full pages.
1t occurred to me that it might be
helpful to you to have these proofs
in YOUR hands before the closing days
of the campaign. If you should de-
eide personally, or acting through the
local city or county committees, to
arrange for the publication of SINH
lar advertisements, l will be glad to
supply you with matrices of any one
of the illustrations, with my compli-
ments, and you can use eithe: the

GROUNDS PRESENT
GALA APPEARANCE
wORKMEN PREPARE BUILDINGS
AND TRACK FOR THE OPEN
ING OF OHIO co. FAIR.

Workmen have been busy for the
past several days preparing the most
beautiful fair grounds in the State
for the 31st annual meet of the Ohio
County Fair next Thursday, Friday
and Saturday. All buildings need
ing it have been repaired and whit
tened and the track has been put in
good condition. The beauty of the
park will be one of the Company's
greatest attractions this year and
its gala appearance will add a spark
or two to the merriment of the Wis
itors.
Business houses on Main and other
Hartford streets have agreed to have
the streets swept in front of their
places and the city will haul away
the trash damaging to neat ap-
pearance. 1t is also likely that the
town will be decorated for the fair
next week. This awakening of civ
ic pride is a source of qualification
to the public spirited citizens.
Much interest is being taken in the
annual fair hop to be given at DR..
Beans rink Friday night and it is
expected that many out of town WIS.,
itors will attend.

welt and other prominent Republic
cans we're at one time or another on
the grounds for the Republicans.
Each party claimed victory before
the election and the near $4,000 ma
iority was hard blow to the Demo-
Gratis. Every Republican running
was elected with votes to spare.
The Republican victory in Maine
is significent for two special reas-
ons. II shows that the Republican
party is reunited and that the peo-
pie are not going to flock to the sup
port of Wilson on the measly plea
that he has kept us out of war.
Democrats are claiming that the
defeat means nothing. They say
that only a majority OF $4,000 would
indicate that the voters do not APP
prove of the administration policies.
If the majority had been $4,000 they
would have said 10000 just as
quickly. They could have done
nothing else. We have heard only
explanations from our Democratic
friends. There have been no cele-
brations.
1t is the first real test. The re-
suit indicates a Republican victory
in November and G. o. P. followers
are pleased.

AMERICAN CITIZENS
RECALLED.

1.-THE constitutional rights of Amer
lean citizens should protect them on
our borders, and go with them
throughout the world, and every
American citizen residing or having
property in any foreign country is
entitled to and must be given the full
protection of the United States Gov
eminent, both for himself and his
property From the Democratic
platform of 1912.
After President Woodrow Wilson
had accepted the above and had been
elected on this platform he ordered
American citizens out of Mexico and
compelled them to leave their prop
erty, which he says should be given
the protection of the United States
Government, for the Mexicans to loot
and destroy. If they stayed in Mex
leo to defend their property they did
so at their own risk, he told them.
Can he now ask the proud American
to support him for another term?

The Democrats of st. Francois
county could not have made better
choice for Sheriff than they did in
nominating Mr.. Adams. He is a man
of cool, deliberate character, energet-
ic, watchful and as determined as he
is gentle and courteous in his deport-
ment. Mr.. Adams has for many years
acted as Marshal for the city of Farm
ington,. and has served considerable
time in the capacity of Deputy Sheriff.
He is acquainted with all the details
and requirements of the office of Sher-
iff, and we have no hesitancy in say
ing that if elected, which we are con-
fident he will be, he will make one of
the best, most efficient and courteous
Sheriffs st. Francois county has ev-
er had. He has a wide acquaintance
over the county, and everybody who
knows him is his friend, and we know
they are going to do all they can to
roll up a big majority for him.

is a staunch Democrat and though a
good partisan is not of the offensive
kind, but liberal and generous toward
all opponents, and in his official ca
pacity will be as fair to the one as
