The Smallest Woman in the
World.

Charlotte 0bserver.l
The smallest woman in the world
nassed through Charlotte yesterday.
Her name is Maria Nail, and she halls
from M~ocksville, N. O., where she was
horn and raised, although she has for
twelve years been travelling with vari-
GUS %circuses and shows as a drawing
card. She was with Barnum awhile
and with JohnRobinson several years.
She was en- route to the Chester fair
yesterday, and an Observer reporter
exchanged a few words with her
while the train was preparing to pull
out. She shows no sensitiveness at
all as to her size, and seemed perfectly
ready to answer questions, although a
gentleman who will exhibit her step
ped up and relieved her from the task,
He informed the reporter that she was
Just thirty inches high, and weighed
Just thirty-6ve pounds. Although by
no means gracefully, yet she is moi
imperiectly formed; is naturally pro-
portioned and has not the slightest
repulsive deformity. Strange to say
she is of a family Of more than ordl.
nary size. Her father weighed l9(
and her mother 140 pounds. while hel
brothers-she has three-are all wei
up towards 200 pounds each.

found him very jubilant over the pres
emit system. He thinks It is the strong.
est, most compact, most powerful and
most perfectly formed in the entire
Southern country, it aggregates 2505
miles. He says 1t has not a vulnerable
point. 1t extends from the Chesa-
peake Bay, without interruption, to
Memphis, Meridian, Atlanta ana
Brunswick, and by July1st will reach
Cincinnati and have an ~unbroken
chain to all the great cities OF the
Southeast.
Colonel Cole is very reticent as to
the Intentions of the new company
He states that Henry Fink took charge
of the system as general manager
| October LIST. He does not think the
consolidation will effect any minor
offices of the various roads, and be-
lieves they will remain as heretofore
He expects by January to run cars
from all points on the system through
to New York City, and as soon as the
system is thoroughly in working order;
probably in a very few weeks, cars Will
be run through from all points to
Baltimore.

Had he got It, it is probable that he
might now be a citizen Of Columbia.
II Is now more than fifty years since
his first visit. He also came here IN
1874, in the memorable Presidential
canvass of that year, and made
speeches for Clay throughout the
State. Great changes have taken
place in the appearance OF our town
since his first visit, and also IN his
own appearance. Esquire Walker
says General Pike was then tall ana
slim, and quite attractive IN personal
appearance. He now looks very
patriarchal, his long white hair ana
beard making his majestic form LOOK
very striking and distinguished. ne

toilers come together and resolve to
quit work unless their just demands
are acceded to. Among the first to
exclaim that these impertinent and i'll
bred strikers must be conquered are
the gay and festive sanctimonious
amen lads who sport in futures aud

hind the bed post. The large strike
which the New Orleans latorers have
made we deem just. Laborers gen
orally throughout the Union are de-
handing higher wages. which they

The Rage For Railroad Building
Unabated.

Montgomery tAla.) Advertiser.l
There was never known before such
a pressure for railroad iron. It's abb
solutely enormous-with all the vast
improvements and engagements in
Pennsylvania heretofore, and yet, the
great iron-producing State Of the
Union. her iron works are not able to
meet the demand that crowd upon
them. 1t is so everywhere this SIDE
the Atlantic where iron works exist.
We have not far to 50 to find the
cause of this prodigious pressure TOR
steel rails and whatever else is needed
ofthe furnaces for track laying. Il.
is to be found in the fact that there
was never before such a spirit OF
railroad building as that which exists
in the South and West at this time.
1t is ramnant. The old fogies call it
a craze" Maybe it is, but it cannot
be checked by epithets nor overcome
BY temporary barriers. 1t will have
its day. A competent authority
states that 4018 miles Of new tracks
are laid and laying this year, against
1906 miles reported for a correspond
ing time in 1880. Europe is shut out
from competition in the business by 2
duty, of 81 per ton on pig
iron. 1t is true, too, that under any
circumstances American pig iron is
worth 81 80 per ton more than En-
glish." 1t has been confidently af-
.frmed that the best pig iron in the
world is made here in Alabama, and
though the iron interest in this State
is yet in its infancy, it is already
looming up rapidly, and in a few year.
will grow to gigantic proportions.

How the Talk About selling II -
Received by His Bubjects.
Uoso'uIu cOrrsspoudsnce.l

Hoso'uIu COrrsspondsnce.l
The topic of sale has been in every
body's mouth, and, although the pa
pers have been quick to resent the
story as absurd an unfounded, many
of the common people are unsettled in
The opinion, and fear that something
az the kind may %occurs-the ~effecting
If a heayy personal loan by the King,
for instance. Prior to his departure,
he borrowed $4,000 from Claus
Spreckles. a liability subsequently
assumed BY the government. la Ike
manner he could borrow from a
European potentate, and thus pilng
tho government under an o~bllgatl9n'
redeemable, possibly, only by sale.
Those in authority Cabinet Minis
tiers. Justices and Members OF the
Lerislature), who claim to be the best
informed in the matter, protest against
the rumored sale as an impossiblllty
and A canard. At the same time
a must be admitted that the King
dom's position is an equiyocal one.
. il would seem as if this masquerade
ing might simply be smiled away one
ofthese days, yet few, if any, would
wish his present Majesty d%ethroned,
and il is difficult to believe that he
would deliberately part with his
crown and traffic, consequently an
immediate change is far from probable
nor is the transition likely to come
while the King or his sister, the Prln-
cess Regent (heir apparent, lives. On
their decease, however, the question
will likely arise for final settlement.
King Kalakaua himselfis not a heredi-
tary blood royal, but a chief elected by
the people in February, 1874, on the
death Of Luanillo, the last representa-
tive of the royal Kamahamahas. who
began to reign one hundred years ago.
According to the Constitution, King
Kalakaua may, the Legislature con-
curing, appoint his successor, there
being no heir to his body.
He accordingly appointed his sister
There is every probabili lily that both
will die without issue, in which event,
and no other heir appointed or agreed
upon, it will fall to the people to elect
a sovereign, as they did the present
King. Some say Princess Likelike,
a younger sister ofthe regent, would
be appointed by the last incumbent,
and her son, a half caste child, would
succeed her-perhaps. 1t would be
difficult, indeed, to unite a majority
upon a choice for King, and as Eng.
land, China, the United States, anc
perhaps one or two other nation'
might desire this spot on the Pacific
for strategic or commercial purposes
advances would accordingly be made
by them, and the one offering thu
greatest inducement would doubles
secure the prize. AT present all thu
indications are one way, and that il
favor of the United States.

A NUMBER of ladies who happened
to meet at a health resort at
Dansville, N. Y, recently, organized
ameeting to consider the propriety
and pr~acticability Of placing the por-
trait Of Mrs. James K. Polk beside
that Of her husband at the White
House. The meeting WAS called by
Miss Francis e. Willard, Of Chicago.
Ten Southern and eight Northern
States were represented. The follow
ing resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That we heartily concur
in Miss Wizards proposition to hon
or Mrs. President james X. Polk, of
Tennessee. whose noble character is a
heritage of which the womanhood Of
the nation is Justly proud, by placing
hef portrait beside that Of her hus-
band at the White House.
Resolved, That by our influence
and personal efforts We will endeavor
to secure the necessary funds to carry
forward this enterprise, not only as a
token Of personal esteem for Mrs.
Polk, but as an offering in which the
women Of the North and South alike
Join to express appreciation Of a rep
resentative Southern lady.
Resolved, That we earnestly invite
the co operation Of all who desire to
give. by this national souvenir, a new
expression TO the kind and frsternal
feelings cherished in SO many hearts
both North and South.
The following ladies constitute the
executive committee:
President, Mrs. Alexander j. Por.
ter, Nashville, Tenn; Secretary. Miss
Clara Barton, Dansyille, N. Y Treas.
urer, Miss Mary Maxwell, Nashville
Tenn Miss Frances Il Willard, Chi

Ladies are appointed in various
cities North and South as commission
together with those named to carr!
out the plan. Mrs. L. c. Falls ant
Mrs. J. c. johnson, are appointed foi

one, and when carried into effect vii
be another evidence Of a restored
country AID a re united peop'e who
wonld cherish all hal was good and
patriotic and forget whatever divided
us before. This viii indeed be a
graceful and well bestowed compli-
ment to a lady who once presided at
the White House with as much grace
and dignity as any who eyer held the
position since Martha Washington.

THOSE CONFEDERATE BONDS
Probable Cause of the Late Lon
don FURRY in These
Securities.
New Orleans Democratic

New Orleans DemOcrat.l
There has been no little comment
in the papers throughout the country
about the recent remarkable rise IN
Confederate bonds in England, and
various and many have been the sur
misses as to what it meant. q,
No one has been demented enough
to suggest the resurrection from Its
ashes the late Confederacy, and nc
unouiet ghost ofthe Lost Cause stalks
abroad to alright the souls Of even
the most timid and imaginative patriot.
IL is conceded everywhere and by
everybody that the Confederacy is
dead as Marley, and he, we all Know
is las dead as 9, d%oor-nail."
There being no possibility, there
fore. Of the bonds being redeemed by
the power chat created them, it has
puzzled a great many people to account
for the inquiry for, and rise IN them,
when only a little while ago they
were regarded as SO much waste
paper. Some have put forth the
theory that The various Southern
States were individually to astonish
the world, and especially the holders
of Confederate bonds, by paying each
its share of the Confederate sebt.
This is a highly moral and sensa,
tional story, however, too moral and
y|irtuous to be believed in this nate
rialistic and doubling age.
1t is hard enough for them to bear
the burden of legitimate debt that
presses so heavily upon them without
undertaking to vitalize a lot Of paper
that represents nothing and for whom
no one is more responsible than the
English nation itself.
There are many other equally absurd
rumors in regard to the matter, but
the truth seems to have escaped the
notice of those who have been giving
the subject their attention.
When the war ended the Confeder-
ate government had on deposit in
London, in the Bank of Eng and,
several millions of dollars ,00O, 900,
if we mistake not-and tho United
States government being aware Of the
fact, made several unsuccessful at

MIR. Seward wished TO make a
peremptory demand for it, but was

johnson, who feared serious compiled.
tions with England at hat time, anC
so the money has lain there to tbil
day unclaimed, and as it has doubles
been drawing interest, the amour
must have enormously increased.
The late furry in Confederati
bonds has doubtless been caused b.
the design on the part of the holder
to secure payment out Of this larg
fund in the Bank of England.
1t would seem to be quite time t
have this little matter of millions {
money settled, and as it u%nquestion
ably belongs to the United States, il

Lady of Threadneedle street to ii
Treasury at Washington would be II

THE CASE.
A. N. Lambeth ON the Sland-'-A
Crop of RumOrs.
Nashville World, 9Th |

Nashville World, 9th
1t was reliably a~scertained by a
World reporter last night that A. NJ.
Lambeth, Chairman OF the Low Tax
Committee for West Tennessee, who
was before the Grand Jury yesterday,
told the following: He was sent to
Nashville by the Republicans and
Low Tax men Of Hardemen, princi-
pally the former, to prevent Senator
Barrett voting for the 1908 bill saw
Senator Barrett on Thursday before
the bill was called up going to- dinner
with a we'll known State official in the
capitol. | had heard that some of the
original Low Takers were bought up
the night before the bill first came to
a vote. Saw a prominent short
gentleman talking to a very prominent
High Tax Democrat in the zeal Of
Nilsson & Walsh's saloon at l2o'clock
on Thursday night. Next day no.
ticed that many who were against the
bill favored it. Heard a gentleman
say that he had counted $4,000 which
was offered to Low Tax Senator, who
accepted it, and then gave it back,
saying that ifhe was searched and the
money found on his person in the
Senate chambers it would be known
that he had sold out. Our reporter
was unable to learn further particu-
lars, but was informed that the testi-
mony was rich, rare and racy, and put
several prominent statesmen in O
position that requires an explanation
Lambeth further stated that Barrett
was very uneasy and was c~onsiderinp
the question Of turning States evi.
dence at the advice Of his Nashville
attorney, and that he will 10 here this
week also, that Barrett understood
he was being prosecuted by the "mosi
prominent High Tax Democrat" in
the State in order that he could be
put in the penitentiary before his
testimony could DO given against him
or the Ring.
