MONSTER GORILLA
Measuring Nine Feet Across Shot in
an African Jungle.
New York Her aid.

There has just been placed on exhi-
bition IN the Umlauff Museum, at
Ham burg, the biggest known speci
men Of gorilla. 1t was shot in the
CAMERON Territory, in West Africa.
After much difficulty it was removed
to Hamburg, stuffed, mounted and
placed on exhibition. II measures
feet 104 inches from the crown OF the
head to the middle toe, and across,
from middle finger to middle
finger. 8 feet 81 inches. 1t was
largely matter of chance that the
commercial traveller, Herr Paschen, OF
SchwrIn, shot this gigantic gorilla.
When the natives came to the agency
at CAMERON with stories of the big
monkey Herr Paschen did not take
much stock in their yarns, but when
the native troops started out on hunt
for the gorilla the German traveller
took his carbine and went along.
After some hours travel they came to
the patch of bush where the gorilla
was supposed TO be hiding. The
natives surrounded the bush and sud-
denly the beast s head appeared. Herr
raschen made path through the
bush with his bush knife and when
within range took aim and fred.
1t was LUCKY shot, for tho beast at
once fell. with the bullet through his
head. He fell with crash ana was
almost instantly dead. 1t was not an
easy matter to remove the gorilla to
the coast and thence to Hamburg, but
there 1t is now, almost lifelike in
appearance, so carefully was the
noun ting and stuffing done. Along
side is the gigantic skeleton. Since
the gorilla was placed on exhibition
the crowds at the museum ha We been
enormous and the comments upon Its
marked resent lance to the human
species, have been general. The
gorilla might have something to say
ON this subject Ii alive.

THEY FAVOR A
NEW COURT HOUSE.
Mt. Pleasant Citizens Interested Over
the Subject. "A Wonderful New
Phosphate Bed.

Mr.. Frederick Hard Y, of Mt. Pleas
ant, one of the most prominent phos'
phate men In that city, WAS In Co
lumpia Friday. Mr.. Hardy says the
citizens of his town are greatly inter
ested in the question of a new court
house for Maury County, and that the
sentiment Is almost unanimous in
favor of it. He said further that they
were in earnest about 1t, and were in
favor of forcing the matter to an issue
and make the County Court act. He
says the people down there look upon
the present court house as dis grace
to the county ana they want a new
one.
Mr.. Hardy states that the phosphate
town is very prosperous and everybody
down there is satisfied with life.
In regard to the phosphate beds down
there Mr.. Hardy says he THINKS seven
tenths of 1t has been mined, and there
is only about a million an1 half
more tons in that field. He thinks
the field will completely exhausted
within the next six or seven years.
However, there 10 new phosphate
field down in tine edge of Lewis ana
Hickman counties that will prove to
be the greatest phosphate center In the
United States-tnat is, for the quanti-
ty of the deposit 1t is what is call ell
the ''Bluetield" phosphate beds, be-
cause the rock is all blue. Mr.. Hardy
thinks that the near one hundred mill
ion tons of phosphate is in that bed. Ii
SO, the great Mt. Pleasant ped does
not begin to compare with it. The
Mt. Pleasant field when first touched
only contained eight or ten million
tons, though there are many well-in-
formed phosphate men who believe
that there were never more than six
millions. Mr.. Hardy is one OF them.
But phosphate bed containing one
hundred million tons almost staggers
the Imagination. Such bed would
be almost inexhaustible. The Vir-
GINA Carolina Company owns a good
part of the land, though several indi-
viduais are large holders also. II this
wonderful new bed Of rock is any
thing like what Mr.. Hardy thinks 1T
is, there Is no danger Of the world 9
supply running short soon.
