from an affection of the lungs, he was
sent to Southern Natal to join his brother
Herbert, who was engaged there in cotton
planting. He was then described as a
s'pale-faced, delicate lad and no one
could have foretold the brilliant career
for which he was destined. The following
year Herbert Rhodes abandoned his cotton
plantation and set out for the diamond
fields, whittier Cecil soon followed, and
thus took the first step towards his future
wealth and power.

OIL FIELDS AFLAME.
Great Beaumont Wells Burning In I'm
Quenchable COnfiagratiOn.

Beaumont, Tex, Sept. IA. - The
great oil fields here are afiame and are
being constantly fed by the fuel oil.
The wells on the hills are lined with
workman standing about unable to do
anything, even toward protecting that
portion of the field which is not yet
atire. The heat is so intense and the
Ilames are spreading SO rapidly that
none dare approach the burning terri
tory.
The ground is saturated with oil, and
experts say there Is no possible chance
to stop the progress of the flames un.
Til they are burned out, which probably
means the destruction of the entire in
dustry, with its 40 producing wells,
many of them gushers. The sky is OBJ
scured for miles by the dense columns
of smoke flowing from the Spindle Top.
The fire started yesterday evening In
some waste oil along the Texas and Sa-
bine Railway track and burned sixty
feet Of trestle work. This was con-
trolled, but it was later discovered
that the fire had been communicated
to the settling tanks, and 1t was impos-
sible to control the flames.
