EATEN BY a SHARK
In the Presence of Large Crowd at
Beaufort, N. Q.


a special dispatch from Beaufort,
N. c., to The News and Courier says
most horrible and shocking accident
occurred at Davis Shore, about ten
miles east OF Beaufort Friday after
noon, when Sutton Davis, 16.year-
old lad, while wading and playing in
the water, was suddenly attacked and
eaten by very large shark.
Sutton was In tne water about waist
deep, when suddenly a shark appeared,
threw him il the air and caught him
as he struck the water, pulled him
under and disappeared in deep water
with the boy. Thorough search has
been made, but no part Of bis body
has been found. Those that were
with him were terribly frightened,
but could not help the poor boy.
The accident has thrown a feeling
Of horror over the town people and
the guests Of the community. The
people, and particularly the children,
have enjoyed the fine dives and invig,
Grating swimming matches which they
daily participate In. A large number
OF sharks have been noticed in the
waters for two weeks, but no one felt
much anxiety concerning the terrible
monsters.
A large quantity Of tat backs have
been caught this month, and a quan:
tity OF refuse matter has been thrown
back into the water from the facto-
rles and sharks nave come in to feast.
It is the first time person has been
nolested by shark in these waters
in nearly fifty years.

Found in Africa.

The Boston police department. is
expecting to hear at any moment OF
tbs arrest Of Frank G. Miles, former
treasurer Of the Boston Safe Deposit
and Trust company, who disappeared
from there nine years ago, and was at
terward accused Of enbezzling the in
stitution of sl50,000. Miles, the po-
lice have learned, has been located at
Cape Town, South Africa. TIE au.
thorities Of the city have been in
communication with those CT that
city, and have instructed them to
put him under arrest. Besides the
alleged enbezzlement Of the colnpa
ny's funds, it was charged that Miles
looted the treasury OF the Union club
of about 1900. It is said that
Miles wrote letter acknowledging
that he had pledged securities OF the
company for losses that he had sus-
tanned in the stock market. After
Miles disappeared the police kept
watch on his residence on Beacon
street, IS well as at his country place
at Londonderry, VI, but nothing
came OF it. Some Of bis frieEds got
the idea that he had killed himself,
but the company in New York that
bonded him never believed so. Miles
is now about 62 years old.

RIGID QUARANTINE.
Charleston Will Place inspectors at
all functional Points.

Charleston Will Place inspectors at
all functional Points.
The yellow :ever scare has at last
struck Charleston, and the board OF
health OF that city has decided to put
into effect more rigid quarantine
and authorized, the employment OF in
spectors for trains at all functional
points and for the river steam boats as
well, passing resolution requiring
that passengers coming to Charlestan
shall produce proof that they have not
been within the fever district for a
period OF ten days. They will be sta.
toned at BranchVille, Lanes, Preg-
nails, and Yemsssee. The action OF
the board is largely predicated on the
recommendation OF Health Officer
Brunner of Savannah, who advised
stricter quarantine for that city, after
personal Investigation OF the exist
lug conditions in the fever district.
Savannah determined accordingly to
put out inspectors and Charleston will
act in accordance with the reco'umen-
dations Of the Savannah health officer,
whose opinion Is held in high regard
in Charleston. People visiting Char
lesion from the interior Of the State
must provide themselves with health
certificates, to show that they have
not been in the infected district since
the fever began.

Held Captive.

At Chicago Mrs. Mary Mulholland,
the wealthy Vicksburg, Miss, widow,
alleged to be held captive in the
Gerald building, 265h and State
streets, by her Two daughters, Daisy
E., and Hattie Mulholland, has been
found by a deputy sheriff at the resi-
dence Of her brother, Fred Slost,
5422 Shields avenue. Mrs. Mary Fo-
veil, also a daughter OF Mrs. Mulhol-
land had begun habeas corpus pro-
cssdings. Discovery OF the missing
woman brought with it q threatened
arrest of Miss Daisy Mulholland on
the charge Of contempt Of court. She
was taken into custody and then rs-
leased on promising to produce ner
mother before Judge Dupuy, where
the battle Tor the aged woman'S GUS
tooy will be fought. Patrick Henry,
administrator OF the estate Of Charles
Mulholland, who became wealthy
operating Mississippi river steamboats,
many years ago, is in Chicago ready
to take part in the controversy over
the custody of the widow.

The Baltimore Sun says that Chas.
J. Cooper, OF that city, who is aoso-
lutely sane on other subjects, claims
that he canrot resist the temptation
to steal women's shoes; that he does
not steal them for the purpose OF sell
ing them: once he has stolen them,
they might lie forgotten in his house
for months. The mania is limited to
wonen's shoes. Mems shoes do not
tempt him. Neither does money nor

Cooper has been employed by the
Adams Express Company about two

A Rich Farmer.

The dispatch from Pickens to The
State says the largest lot OF cotton
ever sold by planter in Pickens coun-
ty was sold a few days ago by Mr.. ].
Samuel Wilson to Heath Bruce Nor.
row company OF Pickens, Mr.. Wilson
sold 72O bales, a portion OF two crops.
The lot brought lO3 cents round, ag-
gregating nearly $4,000. In many
respects MI. Wilson is remarkable
man. BE was a valiant Confederate
soldier in the Civil War and at the
close OF that conflict came home with
absolutely nothing. he began as a
day laborer and saved everything be
made, finally purchaiing al the lands
owued by bis former employers. Mr..
Wilson today is the largest planter In
upper South Carolirr and owns some
Of the finest cotton lands to be found
in Pickens and Anderson counties.

not branch off until about 20 feet
from the ground, and the hollow
trunk, over three feet in diameter,
was filed with honey, which had been

the store Of honey was discovered,
several persons made efforts to get
some, but were kept away by the an

COTTON In SOUTH AFRICA.
Efforts Of the British to Raise the
Staple Oyer There.

Staple Oyer There.
Great efforts are being made, it
would appear, from reports recently
received in this country, by the Brit.
ish Cotton Growers association to pro-
mote the growth OF cotton in South
Africa and other colonies in the Unit
ed Kingdom. The greatest obstacle
which threatens the plan OF the asso.
citation at this time is said to be the
system OF slavery which exists there
in it's worst form, it is said, than ever
existed in the United States OF any
other country.
The British Nigeria company Is a
huge monopolistic labor concern, and
the British Cotton Growing sssocia.
tion has the sole right to cultivate
cotton in any part Of the 100000
square miles over which the Nigeria
comp pany is overload. The population
OF that area is about 5,000,000 On
the cotton plantations operated neal
Lagos, the cost OF labor for sixteen
hours per day and seven days in the
week is twelve cents. This includes
rations, clothing, medicine, quarters
and s.uperintendence.
1t is said that with this slave labor,
that within five years the cotton pro-
duced will be ample to the require
ments Of Great Britain. While thers
was, not many years ago, a large
American trade done on the territory
OF the Nigeria company thst concerr
has Of recent years entirely shut out
American goods in any shape from
competition. American fabrics, spirits
AMI other kinds Of goods are debarreo
into any Of the territory now oWneo
or operated by the Nigeria company.
The trade OF the NsW England mills
was especially good in the country
low closed to them until a few years
back, as British free trade so callec
Goes not apply to any territory com
mitted to the custody Of a chartered
company. On this account American
manufG cturerS must necessarily lose
quite large sum OF money each veal
on &C ;ount Of the fact, as stated, that
the ctfses Of the Nigeria company 40
so!utely refuse to patron;ze them o!
allow any Of the slaves in their en-
ploy to patronize American manuIact'
ures in any way whatever.
