Democratic Sentinel, Volume 9, Number 8, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 March 1885 — A Senatorial Giant. [ARTICLE]

A Senatorial Giant.

Dixon H. Lewis was the largest statesman this country ever owned. He was Senator from Alabama away back in the thirties, arid beside him David Davis-would have been the merest stripling. He weighed 500 pounds when he was thin, and goodness knows how much when fat. He was a marvel to behold, and in his time one of the most popular of men. History is the preserver of good deeds and the average a! bad.
