THE TALlEsT OF wOMANKIND.
Nine Feet High and Wears Forty Yards of
Cloth in a Dress

Nine Feet High and Wears Forty Yards of
Cloth in a Dress
Miss Ella Ewing is described as beau
| tiful, amiable and wonderfully affection
ate, which is fortunate, as she is nine
feet in height. Thus, at least, is she de-
scribed by her managers, who contribute
these additional details concerning her
life, says the New Y ork Times. She is a
farmers daughter, from CORN, Mo.
Her parents are comparatively rich, and
that is also fortunate for the girl. She
is but slip of twenty-four years; forty
yards of cloth are required for a single
dress, and one of her gloves, says the
press agent of the circus, uses up an en-
tire goat skin.
When her parents sent her to the
lneighborhood school it was necessary to
have desk and chair made especially
for her. Her companions at school idol
lied her, and they deemed it great fun
to be seized by the waist and lifted eight
feet from the ground for a resounding
kiss.
At home she is said to be admired for
her stature, and loved for her maidenly
modesty. Soon, however, the cOmmu-
nifty in which she was reared will have
to content itself without her, for she has
signed contract to become one of the
attractions of the circus. Her father is
rich, and she does not need to work, but
the salary offered was irresistible. She
will appear day and night.
1t is said that she is the tallest human
being that ever lived-taller even than
Chang the Chinese giant, who, when he
was in this country used to be nine feet
in height, but his height is now given by
experts as eight feet two inches. at all
events she is the tallest woman, for
there have been only two other giant
esses that could compare with her, and
they fell behind her in stature by som e
inches.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water glass
Nth urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
diseased condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urnate or pain in the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that DR.. Gilmer's Swamp
Root, the great liver remedy fulfills ev-
cry wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder anu every part of
the urinary passages. 1t corrects inabil-
ity to hold urine and scalding pain in
passing it, or bad effects following the
use of liquor, wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during
the night to urinate. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists; price fifty cents and one dollar per
bottle. For sample bottle and pam
phlet, both sent free by mail, mention

NOTES ABOUT OUR NEIGHBoRs.

Captain E. E. Lewis, county schoo
commissioner of Clay, is registering tn
old slaves at % cents head in order
that they may secure pension from the
government. He is doing fourishing
business In that line, and the negroes
are happy over what they believe to be
good fortune Overtaking them. Of
course nobody but the deluded negroes
believe anything of the kind, and it is
almost incredible that such proceeding
should be permitted in any community.
And it is even more remarkable that a
school commissioner should be engaged
in any such business.
The family of Mr.. B. F. Dawson, of
Randolph county, came near being vic
Tins of a fatal accident Friday morning.
By some means a package of "Rough on
Rats fell from shelf Thursday night
into the -four barrel below, and it was
not discovered until two young lady Wis
itors and members of the family had par
taken of the biscuit next morning and
became violently Ill. A physician was
called and there were no fatal results.
Mr.. P. II. Gorsuch, former citizen of
Dawson, has entered suit against the
Central railroad in Quitman superior
court for s., 500 damages. Mr.. Gorsuch
claims to haYe sustained injuries while
boarding the cars a Hatcher Station
few days before Christmas.
Luther Cox, the young man who was
accidentally shot in Sumter county by
his brother a few days ago. is dead.
Young Cox was the main support of
widowed mother, and his tragic death is
deeply deplored. He was 10 years of
age, and was highly esteemed.
Thomas Riley, a young man of Rich
land recently from the asylum, has been
again locked no. He had armed himself
with shotgun and pisto! and was hold
ing up everybody he met. He will be
sent back to the asylum.
A band of burglars is operating in this
section. Within the past week stores
have been robbed at Preston, Weston,
Marshalville, Perry, Fit. Valley and sew
eral other towns.

Judge Sheffield a Success.
From the Fufaula Times.

E4ULH III0 UAduId lIU6Ss
Judge Sheffield seems to be making a
success on the bench. 81 Otis, the hui
m0rist, looks upon the judge as charm
ing and said so, and Alex Teel,
one of the most serious of men, is wrapp-
ed up in him and acknowledges it. The
judge ought to go into politics. We say
this assuming that no gentleman will
consider judgeship in Georgia as being
in politics.

THAT the cigarette is growing less
popular with dealers everywhere is
manifested by the little interest they
take in the anti-cigarette bills that
have been introduced in many legisla-
lures of late and the ordinances many
cities have passed restricting or con-
trolling their sale. AT the same time,
however, thatitis growing less popular
with dealers it must be confessed that
it becomes more popular with the boys,
and that is the reason of the strong
fight that is being made against it in
so many sections of the country.

And the more she builds the greater
grows the popular sentiment in favor of
this work. Thirty-six North Carolina
counties have levied a general road tax,
and from the considerable sum thus
realized the construction of permanent
roads goes steadily on. Other counties
in the state are using their conviets to
great advantage in road work, and
wherever one goes now in the Old

road improvement are to be seen.

Lieut. Col. NJ. E. Urcll was vest erday
nominated by Brig. Gen. George II. Hsr-
ries fof The pcsstinn of colonel of the Ilis-
tTict Guard, to fill the vacancy caused By
the Resignation OF Col Cecil Clay. SO
far, tnis is the only change recommended
Gen. Harres yesterday afternoon, and he
accepted the honor rendered.
What vas als0 considered surprise in
military circles, coming as it old yester-
day, was the announcement Of the resg
nation of Major X. F.. Campbell, of the
First Battalion. AS matter of fact, 10
those who keep posted, the resignation f
Major Campbell is In no way surprise,
for it was generally known that he had
some time ago siehifiea his intention Of
seyerng hie connection with the National
Guard. With this IN view he filed his
resignation with Col. Urcll as rar back
as last June. Major Campbell, it IS said,
however, later expressed desire To serve
the guard for term OF ten years, ard,
as that period is passed, he requested that
his resignation should take effect yester-
day.
Tie resignation OF Major Campbell u i'll
nrcessitate changes other than were 1T first
Thought as naturally following the ,etire
| Incnt OF Col Clay. Major Campbell was
| in line for promotion TO the position of
| lieutenant colonel, made vacant by he I'ro-
| notion Of Col. Urell. The position, under
most circumstances, fails 10 Major Z.
| O o'Brien, of the Second Battalion VINO is
DR..
! As u result Of the promotion .)r Major
| O Brien, il is generally conceded that
Capt. Harry +. Walsh, OF Company a .
| First Battalion, WHO is tha ranking captain
of tual battalion, Will be made major in
place of G Brien
| The next most important office to be
! filled Is that OF inspector general OF rifle
! practice, made vacant by the promotion
| Of Major Harries 10 commander in chief
| or the District militia. In the regular
| order OF things there are TWO gentlemen
emnently qualified by long experie zee
| and eligible 10 the position. These aIe
! Capt. James L. Bell and Capt. Thomas :.
King, respectively. inspectors OF rifle prlc-
tice FOR the Second and First Regiments
! Capt. Bell, however, Is the senior inspec-
/ tor and it vas learned last night from a
most reliable source that the position wolld
be offered to him.
At guard headquarters last night the
! probable promotion OF Major O Brien 10
| the lieutenant coioneicy was generally
discussed. The consensus OF opinion was
! that MIR. O'Bren would be an excellent
successor to Lieut.. Col. Urell, and his
| promotion would be acceptable 10 the
District militia as a whole.
These changes in the staff Of the com
| Irandc, in chief will OF necessity cause
| changes among many company and bat
TALON officers. These positions will, hcw-
ev.r net be filled until all others ahead
+, OF then are satiSfa ctorily arranged.
Gen Harries said last night that there
is Itl need for hurry in the matter, ard it
viii proha bly, he three or foIr days, or
perhaps a week, before the brigade staff
and reeimental and company officers are
| al Chosen and appointed.
