J. F. Barbour of Thomasvllle, Ala, father of Ernest Barbour, the young man who was found in dying condition in Avondale Park a week ago last Saturday, is in the ely to confer with the coroner and the police authorities regarding the death of his son.
 MT. Barbour does not believe that his son killed himself He says there was no reason why he should have done so as he had good position where he was and was liked by all the people in his home town. In referring to the conduct of his son before leaving home and of his death MT. Barbour said:
 T believe Ernest was killed. I may not be able to prove it, but after carefully in- vestigating his conduct before leaving home and his movements from the day of his departure up to the time he was found in Avondale Park I can see no reason why he should have killed himself. He was em- ployed by good company at home an1 MT. Boyles, his employer. informs me that he had no intention of discharging him. In fact, MT Boyles wanted Ernest to remain with him. He says that Ernest had always given satisfaction. He had a contract with

TALLEST OF LIVING MEN
European Scientists Are Interested in
 Resident of Minnesota
From the Golden Penny,

From the Golden Penny
 The biggest living man is Lewis Wilkins,
 who is arousing great interest in the
 scientific circles of Europe. Wilkins was
 born on a farm near St. Paul, Mnn., in
 1874 When he was but ten years old he
 measured six feet in height, and now has
 grown to the tremendous height of 107A
 inches-just three-quarters of an inch less
 than nine feet-and weighs 364 pounds.
 There have been other tall men and wo-
 men before Wilkins, and scientists have
 striven in vain to account for these freaks
 of nature. Only lately a plausible story
 has been put forward by a French physi-
 clan, Dr. Marie, who says that giantism Is
 nothing more nor less than disease. This
 disease generally occurs in patients be-
 tween the ages of IS and B, and is first
 called acromegaly Qrom two Greek words
 meaning enlargement of the extremities.') If the patient is not attacked until after he is IS the ends of the bones in the arms and legs are enlarged and prolonged slight ly, but if this disease has attacked child at or soon after birth giantiSm IS the re- suit The bones are prolonged all along their length grow unnaturally, and the re- suit is giant.
 When you see big man it Is, therefore, | a question whether he is unusually strong l or whether he Is sufferer from acrome- galy. All giants have not been acromegalic, l according to Dr. Marie. He mentions two | giants in the French army who did not be- long to this class One was Charles Freut, | a cavalry soldier, who was six feet eleven | inches and another Marnat a drum | major in the Nineteenth Regiment of ln- | fantry. who measured six feet nine inches. 1 Perhaps the greatest giant who ever lived | before Wilkins was Charles Byrne, an Irish l man. He measured nine feet two inches. l His skeleton is still preserved. proving be- yond question his enormous size. He was l> probably acromegalc.
 Other giants were Constantine, born at l Zurich, Switzerland, eight feet one inch: -Herold, born at Leipsic, seven feet five | inches and Lady Emma, eight feet one | inch
