Pounds in Fifteen Years

Savannah Ga. April 3O-When Leo
nard Bliss died i'm Bloomington, Ill.,,
the country was told that the world
had lost It's largest man. But Georgia
came forward with a specimen that
overtopped Baby" Bliss 10y i5 pounds.
Now comes Three iyers, Mich, with
a bid for fame in the person of Sam
Irwin, who boasts that he weighs $50
pounds and asserts that he is the larg-
est man in the United States that en-
cages I'm actual work daily.
The largest man in the word goes to
work every week day morning at the
usual hour in the enjoyment of better
health than he has experienced in a
number of years. This is w. r. Brn-
son of Waycross, who makes no claim
to distinction other than being a
Georgia Cracker"
Leonard Bliss is said to have weigh
ed $40 pounds. according TO official
figures at the time Of his death. Brin-
son tips the scales at $50 pounds I'm his
| stocking feet. He has weighed as high
as coo, but he complains dismally that
he is now worn to "A shadow by over
work and is losing flesh so rapidly
| that it makes him uneasy. 1t took him
| Is years to lose that - pounds.
The Michigan man has hopes that
he will eventually weigh 800.
Crimson laughs and jokes at his inn
mense proportions and continues to
gather and distll the turpentne from
| his pine forest. He drives out TO his
| distillcry daily in buggy built espe-
cially to sustain his weight, He is an
active man of business, a merchant
and farmer as well as turpentine OPP
orator and is famed for his shrewd-
ness.

to sustain Brinston's huge form. He

has been douby re-enforced i'm order
| that he may turn over in the night
without danger of bursting through his

house have been enlarged. Brinson
has had many offers to become a vau-
devillc or circus attraction, but he
says he does not care to leave God $

he is almost inclined to travel about
a little, Just to show such people as
this Irwin fellow how very small they

ALL RIGHT.

There are varieties of language bar
barisms. The most common are in the
spoken language. Slang and slovenly
grammar are IN our everyday CONVEX
sation. They are forgivablc to some
degree, for they may extend To cXped-
tie the expression of ideas, and eXpe-
dltion in speech is thoroughly desir-
able.
But the same lcniency of criticism
cannot be applied to the written Ian
guage. There is fixed model for
written English and who SO departs
from it manilcsts ignorance rather
than Independence.
The most msuferable barbarism
commonly found in written English is
the use of ALRIGHT" such word IS
an annoyance which is almost past
forgiveness.

Fruits and Nuts
Play important
Part in U.S.Trade
Great Increase In Both Imports
and Exports in the Last Decade.

More than half a billion dollars
worth of fruits and nuts passed into
aud out of domestic ports during the
last decade, 36j million being imports
and go million exports. The trade in
each direction has about doubled in the
last decade, imports having risen from
2ils To 4SA million dollars and exports
from 1874 to 33a4 million dollars i'm the
period from 1903 to 1913.
The opening months of 1914 show,
according To statistics compiled by the
Bureau of Foreign aud Domestic Com
merce. Department Of Commerce, in
creased imports and diminished eN-
ports of fruits and nuts as compared
with January and February of last
year. Imports during the first two
months of this year aggregated over o
million dollars value, or 20 per cent.
more than those for a like period of
1913, while exports amounted to 4 mill
lion dollars, or about so per cent less
than u year ago. The sharp decrease
i'm exports reflects the shortage in
crops during 1913 on the Pacific coast.
where, it is reported, stocks of all
kinds of dried fruits on hand at the
present time are ut the lowest point
ever recorded.
our domestic food supply was sup
plcmcnted last year by 81 million dol
lars worth of fruits and IS million
dollars worth of nuts from foreign
countries and in addition, over mill
lion dollars worth OF fruits and nuts
from Hawaii and 81 million dollars
worth from Porto Rico.
