There are several unusual curiositieS now

She is nearly nine feet high which enor-
nous stature in a woman is relatively
equal to a twelve-foot man. In strange
contrast to this young lady giant is Great

weighing but six and half pounds and
who stands but twenty-three inches high

COTTON GROWERS CONVENTION.
Gov. EIIerbe to Use His Influence to
Make 1t a Success.

Columbia, S. c., Nov. 19.-President Will
born of the cotton growers association of
this state to-day issued an address to the
southern cotton planters, referring to the
convention In Atlanta, Dec. IA, and urging
an interest in it. He also wrote Gov. Ell
lerbe asking that he communicate with the
several southern governors and urge them
to appoint one delegate from each con-
gressional district, and two from the state
at-large. Gov. Ellerbe has already indica-
ted his willingness to do So
Mr.. Wilborn's address is as follows:
Columbia, S. c., Nov. d9.-To the Cotton
Growers of the South-At large and en-
thusiastic meeting of the cotton growers
of the state of South Carolina, wherein all
sections of this state were represented, it
was resolved that every state
In the south be invited to send
every state in the south be invited to send
delegates to a convention to be called to
meet in Atlanta, Ga, Dec. A. 1897. The
purpose of this convention is to organize
the cotton growers of the south, thereby
securing unity of action in the marketing
and sale of this great staple; also to devise
ways and means by which we may be
able to break and throw off the shackles
of business slavery that now binds u.s.
With foreign exchanges debating the
price, we can only expect ruin and dis
tress in the future. We can achieve inde-
pendence only by organization.
With view of securing an exchange of
ideas and perfecting an organization
which, it is hoped, will result in good,
have been instructed to call a convention
of delegates from all cotton growing
states 10 meet in Atlanta, Ga. on the
14th of December, 1897. All who are in
terested in this cause are most earnestly
| requested to cooperate. The governors of
the cotton growing states have been asked
to select delegates and all state organi-
| cations interested in the prosperity of the
cotton growers are requested to name and
| secure the attendance of delegates at this
general convention: j. c. Wiborn,
| President S. C. Cotton Growers Associa-
ton
Governors of the cotton states will be
appealed to in order to get farmers in
terested to send delegations, the planters
to have one delegate from each congress

large.

CAN'T TAX PosTMAsTERs SALARY.

The Acting Assistant Attorney-Gen-
ernL Renders an Opinion.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE issue as 10
whether a state or municipality can levy
an income tax on the salary or compen-
sation of a postmaster, a subject of broad
interest to the federal service generally,
was decided to-day In an opinion rendered
by Acting Assistant Attorney General
Harrison ]. Barrett for the postoffice de-
partment. The case in question was on
inquiry from the postmaster at Gastonia,
N. c. 1t is held that state has no au-
thority to tax emoluments paid to any off,
Ger or agent which the United States may
use and employ as a necessary and proper
means TO execute it's sovereign power. Mr.
Barrett said: "The government OF the
United States Is supreme within It's sphere
of action and any act OF a state or munic-
ipality which attempts to take the emolu-
ments paid to the officers of the govern
ment is unconstitutional and void. If the
power existed in a state to tax the Off
GERS or agents of the government it could
thereby impair the power of the United
States in the execution of it's sovereignty.
The postmaster at Gastonia therefore,
cannot be required to pay tax upon the
income of his office, either to the state of
North Carolina or to the municipality of
Gastona"
