The movement in v nil i? said to he the result of the titmioii of cotton bagging for jute fcnliny producers. The jute bagging from one and a half to two per yard. The cotton bagging, it introduced, is of much liglit- ueiglu. The ipiantity of jute bag- niri tl to cover a bale of cotton li>about eight pounde more than ifmlloii. As cotton is sold by the .. weight, no tare being allowed in f the American markets, it follows mle of cot ton, when covered with i'll I lagging, brings less than when with jute bagging. It is this Teiire « hicli Southern planters are leavoring to do away with,under the •ahi .liijiisi tare regulations. Opera- ' in thi- market say that no good i*on can lie adduced why they should • w an ei|iiivab*nt for the decreased iglit. i-an.-cd by the introduction of ti n bagging, the cost of which is ■1 to exceed that of jute, which ha n 11*0.1 many years.

I lordinary 11 was eapal file X She is Six Feet Six and Pounds at the Age of Eleven"" The most famous child in the German empire just now is Elizabeth Lyska. Every German daily hastol.bits reader- how she looks and acts, how much she drinks, and what kitul of clothes she wears. All Berlin is cjling upon her. as all Vienna called upon her a few weeks ago when she was at the Austrian capital. Professors, and of- ticetff, and doctor?*, and privy council lors, and other German big wigs are leeched by her daily. Even the great Virchow passed several hours w ith her, chatted with her familiarly, and even tually wrote an elaborate description and biography of her, which lie will read soon before the Anthropological Society of Berlin. Elizabeth is getting all this attention, not because she is pretty' or clever, but because she is big. According to Virchow, she is the biggest girl of her years whom Europeans of modern times have seen. Though, but 11 years old, she isG feet G inches tall, and weighs about 300 pounds. Elizabeth was born on the Manor Wicssolyi in the valley of the Danube. Her parents were poor peasants, not taller nor broader than other peasants. She is the youngest of live children, none of whom, save herselr is remarka- aly large. Four hours after her birth she weighed Aon pounds. She grew’ as other children grow until she was 4 years of age. Then she began to be a little giantess. In her fifth year she gained ten inches in height. She out grew her blue cotton gowns and wooden shoes so rapidly that Papa Lyska, who was trying to support Mamina Lyska and four other little Lyskas on some thing over $100 a year, was put to his wits’ ends to get money enough to keep her decently clothed. From her fifth to her ninth year she grew only an inch or-two. Between her. ninth and tenth birthday she gained a foot; between her tenth and eleventh, afoot and four inches. She could pitch hay,cut grain, plough and dig potatoes with any* man on the Her hand was as large as three feminine hands, and her arm ible of a ten ible blow, With an open handed cult' over the ear she once knocked a .voung man who teased her, senseless to the ground. Her appetite became enormous. For breakfast she took several cups of cof fee, seven or eight thick slices of black bread, almost a pint of honey, and half a dozen pieces of the fruit in season For dinner she often ate a pound and half or two pounds of pork, five or six potatoes, and other vegetables in cor respondingly large quantities. While her increasing appetite and size were playing ducks and drakes w ith the meagre income of the Lyska family, her father died. His widow was almost penniless. Some one suggested that the young giantess might be turn ed to financial account. A Vienna man ager of freaks was brought to the man or to look at her. He agreed to pay Elizabeth a salary* which in a week would buy the Lyska family more blue cotton gowns [and wooden shoes and black thread and honey than they could use up in a year. Frau Lyska said “all right.” Elizabeth was immediately put on exhibition, and within two weeks was famous throughout the two German empires. Elizabeth is handsome. She has long dark brown wavy hair, large dark eyes, dean-cut features, and white teeth. Her figure is shapely, though somewhat immature. She has a very fetching smile, which has made her the object of all sorts of attention from lightheaded young men. Three students of law, an elderly’ man who pretended to be a Freiherr, and any number of young tradesmen have written her love letters. Ten of her correspondents were willing to wait for her to “grow up,” if she were not already willing to love them. Elizabeth, however, is too childish still to be even* amused by this one-sided correspondence. She is contented to play with her dolls, and paper puzzle, and picture books while not on exhibi tion for the benefit of the rest of the Lyska family. She is altogether hap py and satisfied with her new life on the stage. Her appetite, strength, and height are increasing slowly. She takes gymnastic exercises daily to develop her muscles. Already she is able to per form easy feats of strength. In time lier manager thinks she will be the champion strong woman as well as the champion big woman of the world.— N. Y.Sun. MESSRS. J. S. KING & CO. STAND BY THE AI1I1IAN CE. —" ' - The First Roll of Cotton Bagging Hade Re ceived in Athens—The Jute Trust to Be Fought to the Bitter End. There is quite a curiosity now exhib ited on Broad street, in front of the store of J. S. King Co. in the shape of the first roll of 44-inch cotto, jigging ever manufactured, and was st*. this en terprising firm, as theirs was the first order received. It was made by the Lane Mills of New Orleans, and will stand any strain. Messrs. J. S. King & Co. have an or der in for 75,000 yards of this cotton hogging, and it will begin to arrive by the 10th inst. They intend to stand firmly by tlie^ farmers in their fight against the iniquitous jute bagging trust, and will, work shoulder to shoul der with them.* There is no doubt now about whip ping tills combine, for from one end of the .South to the other the good news comes that our cotton farmers are ar- ayed in unbroken phalanx on the side of cotton bagging. They appreciate, too, the decided stand that this Athens firm has taken for them.

C., Aug. 5—James Trollinger, aged 21 years, accompanied Miss Addie Reid, aged IS, to church, at Catawba on Sunday, and after they re turned a storm came up and they went in the house to wait until the storm was over. While the family were engaged in conversation there was a sudden peal of thunder, lightning flashed into the room and Mr. Trollinger and Miss Reid fell dead to the floor. All the others in the house were stunned. Th«.lightning struck one corner of tiie house and ran down through the rooms, making a general wreck of everything. Miss Reid’s shoes were torn off and her clothes were ignited. Heroic efforts were necessary to keep the flames from burning her to a crisp. Miss Reid was the daughter of C. A. Reid, a prominent farmer, and Mr. Trollinger was a pro mising young business man. Col. Charbonniers’ Record of the Weather . for the Past few Weeks—Not so Bad After All. A Banner reporter found Col. Char- bonnier yesterday in his office busy with the making out of his wether eeords for July. How have the rains been?” asked the reporter. Well,” said the Colonel, “the rains have not been near so heavy as they ai e supposed to have been by many. My tatistics show that the rain fail for the month of July in this section lias only been 2.40 inches. This is only a mod erate rainfall ’for this month, and I should think it would be just right for the growing crops. Since the first of August, however, the rains have in creased, and the records show that the rainfall has been 3.59 inches s then.” “The rains in this section then can t comparejwith those^ift the north lately,” remarked the reporter. “Oh, no r indeed,” said Col. Cliarbon- nier, “the rain fall in New York for the past month has been more than nine inches, and this is enormous. The re sult is that crops have been ruined and cities flooded.” Well you don’t think we have had too much rain at all do you?” asked the reporter. No. there has been only a moderate rainfall in this section. It has been sliowry, but not much rain has fallen. I don’t think the farmers need be alarmed yet, and I think it is going to fair off. I don’t apprehend any danger to the crops. SALE SICKLY® WORMS.b Been 60 years burly that the initials y Is the celebrated A.FAHNESTOCK’S VERMIFUGE. in use and never fails.
