Columbia, April 1S.-One of the celebrities of English musie ha!!Is 1and I'a1iopeani var iety theatres is in Co lumnbia. She is E'lla Williams, a nio gro woman, whose ieighit is seven and one-half feet and whose weight is 350 pounds. She created a mild commotion when she waulked utp Main street, yesterday morning. Ella is probably the largest woman in the world. She said yesterday that she had heard of only one woman In the show business whose height was anywhere iear her seven and one half feet. Ella has undoubtedly travelled more than any othcr ne grss ever born in 'South Carolina. She has made three trips all over Eit rope, tours through Australia, New Zealand, South America and other countries. She is known profession ally as Arboma and Is "headlitned" by managers of European theatres. The giant negress has returned from England because the war broke ut) her tours of the "'alls." She said yesterday that she was going to open a dress making sho) on Geravis street "to pass away the time" utntil the war ended and she could go to Europe again. "I was born near Cross 11111 in Laurens county," said Ella yester (lay. "None of my sisters or broth ers are unusually large. For years every time a show man saw me he would want me to sign a contract, but I never could make up my nind to leave Columbia. Finally in the fall of 1896 while I was cooking for a prominent family in Columbia, Man ager F. C. Bostock got me to sign up for a tour. Ile took me to Now York and sent me to England. I worked in the theatres over there until 1897 when I came back to 'Colunbita. I went to 'Europe again in 1898 and stayed until 1899. Then I returned to Europe in 1900 and have been there in the British colonies and In 'South AmIcricn for the last i years. I will never, stay away from Coluam bia and 1y' peoople as long as thbat again." In the EItropean Iheatres E'lla sings "cono" songs which are especially tmoimlar In France and i'ligland. Then she shakes han1ds with people in the audience. "'lle children like me, andi manag ers are always glad to get me on their bills because it. mealns that the boxes wil! be filled with whole families," said Ella yesterday. The negress has a locket given her as a soiuvenir of the day when his majesty, the King of Saxony, caio to a theatre in Berlin to see her. WANTED --You to know that we can make your hens lay.
