The same authority gives 10? feet as the

exceptionaI 100 feet being above the
average for our tallest oaks.
The height of trees is Influenced by the
company they grow in. For example, a,
larch growing in the open would most
likely fail to reach 100 feet in height,
whereas larches growing close together
or pressed upward by other trees have been
known to exceed 100 feet in this country.

CETINJE. Montenegro April -, 1910.
You would be surprised at the appear
ance of Cetinje. the capital of Montene-
FRO which is unlike any other European
town | have ever seen and SO different
from what | expected to see. 1t reminds
mo strongly Of the little interior cities of
Mexico and South America. Most of the
houses are of one story. built solidly
along a sidewalk paved with cobble
stones, and usually surrounding court
similar to the Spanish patio" upon which
the rooms open.
All the houses are built with heavy
walls of stone and rooted with red tiles,
and where the owners can afford it, the
street side has been covered with Stucco.
Occasionally a two-story building breaks
the monotony and is evidence of wealth
and prosperity. although most of them
are occupied by the foreign legations or
used as offices by the government.
There is quite diplomatic colony, and
several handsome houses surrounded by
gardens are occupied by the representa-
tves of the great powers. They cannot
have any business here, because Monte
negro has no business of her own, and
reside here in obedience to a clause in
the treaty of Berlin of 1873, which was
adopted at time when things needed
watching.

would this tree have grown to 300 feet
or more if it had not been forced to grow
upward because it could not grow out
ward.
According to Mr.. ELVES, one Of the tall
est wellingtonias in this country Is at
Fonthill Abbey. which in 1906 measured
certainly over 100 feet and probably los
feet high This is at least ten feet
higher than the tallest at Strathfieldsaye.
1t is next to impossible to ascertain me
correct height of tree by any other
means than that of careful measurement;
there are, we know, ingenious contriv-
ances for doing it otherwise, but they are
not reliable. OF course the approximate
height may be near enough and Yet be a

An Old Cemetary is Dug Into by Ditch
Diggers in Charleston.
SKELETONS ARE FOUND
The Bones Of a Man of Huge Stat
ure Discovered in One of Sc, e'at

Another Place Several Old Can
non Balls Were Dug Up.

No one would suppose that there
was muc.i D. mystery or any tin2e
of romance in the work of the hardv
ditch-djSSers nho are laying the
sewerage pipes in various streets ia
the city of Charleston, says the News
and Courier, but mystery and 70
nance have way OF turning up
where they are least expected, and
only the ether day one of the gangs
ran into something that made the
negroes who WELD the pick and SHOW
Ell feel nervous and apprehensive Of
what might follow as the result OF
Interfering with the long sleep of
those who had passed from earth
many years ago.
The News and Courier then gees
on to relate the following: On
Queen street, between Franklin and
Logan, just opposite the Medical COL
lege, the pickmen found grave yard
about four feet beneath the surface,
end being compelled to stick to their
work, for the sewer pipes must be
laid, grave yard or no grave yard !,
and in spite of the danger Of rousinG
the wrath of ghosts, they unearth-
ed before long seven coffins. All
these were badly decayed and fell
apart as soon as an attempt was
made to lift them to the surface.
OF the bodies that they had once
contained only the skeletons were
left, and these quickly decomposed
on coming in contact with the air
Several of the skeletons were those
of children or mali women, but
there was one especially that filled
the laborers with wonder as they
looked upon it. It was the skeleton
of a man, and such a man! More
than six feet four inches tall, with
shoulders of wonderful breadth and
big bones that made up frame OF
remarkable strength, he must have
been well-nigh a giant.
The negroes locked at the white
bones and wondered; and white men
who saw the crumbling vestiges Of
what must have been one Of the fin
est specimens of physical manhood
in the South, were curious to know
whether some record Of this Hercu-
les who had been laid to rest in this
forgotten cemetery long ago, might
not be found somewhere and the his
tory of the man brought back to
mind.
On Ashe street the diggers came
across cannon balls that had evl-
dentally been fired during the Rev.
olutionary war. They we're OF
kind unknown during the War Be
tween the States, and were evidently
much more ancient, each of them
weighing not more than four or five
pounds. In addition to these several

FIGURES CAUSE ALARM.
Among Republicans Because They
Help the South.

The Washington correspondent OF
The News and Courier says because
the population figures of a few o1
the Southern towns, taken under the
new census, have shown big increas'
es over the figures of 1900, leading
men in the Republican party have
become thoroughly alarmed, and
nave begun a movement to keep the
representation from the Southern
States in the SD Congress from be-
ing increased.
Two places in Virginia, Lynch
burg and Christiansburg, have
shown big increases and the same
it true Of two Georgia towns, Fitz-
gerald and Hawkinsville. In Texas
nearly all of the fifteen or twenty
counties, which have had their pop
ulation figures made public, show
big gains. The same is true Of Ok
iahoma and Tennessee.
It is said that these, being wide

been large; in fact, much greater
than any one expected, and that II
the same ratio is kept up represen-
tation. from that section must OF
necessity be increased. To fore
stall such an increase in membership
It is proposed to begin the downward
movement now.
Efforts made to ascertain whether
or not President Taft was interested
in the movement failed to disclose
anything tending to show that ne
was cognizant of 1t, but it is under
stood that Congressman Bennett, OF
New York, and others, who are lead
ing in the proposed cut, made him
acquainted with their plans before
he went to Beverly. That the move
ment is on in earnest is not denied.

LURED ~ A RASCAL.
Warning to Young Women to Be
ware Of Strange Men.

A special to the News and Courier
from Richmond, Va, tells a sad sto-
ry about a young girl from this
State. The dispatch says young
woman, II years old, said to be the
daughter of a cotton planter near
Cowpens, E c., is detained in Rich
rlond by the police and is under the
care Of the Associated Charities
there, until such time as she is sent
for by her parents or earns enough
money to buy ticket back to her
Eome She wishes to get back as
soon as she can, according to her
statements. The story the girl is
alleged to nave told is a pathetic
one. According to the police, she
went to Richmond in company with
j man, whose name the authorities
do not divulge. He was stanger
to the young country girl, and they
met when on a train, and she was
Ell route to her parents home, from
Spartanburg. She is alleged to have
been lured away by smooth and false
talk of the stranger. She says he
proposed that she go to Richmond,
and she followed him, after arriving
living as his wife at boarding
mouse there.
The man left Friday night, tell
ing the girl to come to Petersburg.
but the landlady became suspicious
and called in a policeman, and the
girl was taken to the police station.
where arrangements were made for
her care. There is no charge against
the gin, but the officers are search
ing for the man, who will be charg-
ed with an ugly offense when found.
The girl is pretty and unsophisticat-
ed, and has evidently been imposed
upon.

HANGED HIMSELF IN SHE'D.
William Fulnler, Aged Aiken Far.
mer, Commits Suicide

Mr.. William Fulmer, an old and
respected farmer OF the Shiloh sec
ton, of Aiken County, committed
'icide Sunday night by hanging
self in the buggy shed Of one OF
eighbors. For some time he
,een in a melancholy state of
Md and only recently, it is report
ed, made an unsuccessful attempt to
kill himself. Saturday night, after
a long rain storm. he left his home
and wantered ofFIto some unknown
place.
Sunday he spent the day with Mr..
John Busbee, who lives several miles
from Mr.. Fulmer, and towards night
he complained .of feeling bad. Say
ing that he was going to the home of
another of his neighbors, he left the
house alone, and until found dead,
was not heard of again.
Monday morning, some one going
to Mr.. Busbee's shed to feed, found
Mr.. Fulmer hanging over the rear
of the buggy with driving rein
looped around his neck. Judging
from the surroundings he had run
the line over the .rafter above, loop
ed it around bis neck and jumped
off.
Mr.. Fulmer was somewhat feeble
minded and had at one time been an
inmate of the State Hospital at Co.
lumbia. His family is prominent
one in that section and they have
the sympathy of many friends.
