The Largest Man Ever.
Whington Cor. Charlotte Observer.
Representative E. Y. Webb, of
the Charlotte district, handed
me the following item, which he
clipped from a newspaper some
time ago.
1 11 bet none of you folks know
that the largest man that ever
ived was born and raised in
North Carolina," said a Tar Heel
at the Hoffman House the other
night. "His existence and di
mensions are vouched for in the
American Encyclopedia, says The
New York Press.
'His name was Miles Darden.
He was seven feet six inches
high, and in 1845 weighed 871
pounds. He was born in North
Carolina in 1798 and died in Ten
nessee January 23d, 1857. Until
1853 he was able to go about his
work in an active manner, but
his weight increased so fast that
after that year when he wanted
to move about he had to be haul
ed in a two-horse wagon. In
1839 it is chronicled that his coat
was buttoned around three men,
each weighing more than 200
pounds, who walked together in
it down the streets of Lexington,
N. C. At his death he is said to
have weighed not less than 1,
000 pounds. His coffin was 8
feet long, 35 inches deep, 32
inches across the breast, 18
across the head and 14 across the
feet. These measurements were
taken at the time and are mat
ters of historical record."
North Carolina is always ahead.
Eider Hemphill and George Mar
cellus Bailey cannot boast of such
men in South Carolina and Texas.

Negro Shot at Boardman.
Yesterday's Wilmington Star
has a news item to the effect
that a negro who was shot at
Boardman Friday was taken to
the hospital in Wilmington Satur

fatally, wounded. It seems that
the negro had some difficulty
with a foreman, a white man, at
the lumber plant at Boardman
and later followed him home,
calling him out and threatening
him with a brick, when the white
man hred.
