New York, Oct. 16.-The very lat

shadow, and there is scarcely a man
Of prominence in the city, especially
in the great financial district. who is
without one. While they are worn at
all times these shadows are not those
cast by the sun. but real detectives
disguised in secondhand frock coats
and false whiskers. Never before has
there been such a rage for having peo-
pie ghadowed and with exposure in
high finance and politics coming
daily. the person who has not a shad-
ow ON his trail doSs not amount to
much. %StuyVesant Fish asserts that
he has been followed for more than

Lees. official dog catcher OF Yonkers

may be tramps who have felt the
pressure of canine teeth oftener than
Lees, but If so they are unknown to
fame. and this dog catcher's record
of having been bitten by 26l dogs Is
likely to stand for some time. The two

fatal. however. and hydrophobia over

Besides being the most bitten, Lees

Capt. Thomas Wilson.

Sumter, July 2S.-President Thomas
Wilson, owner Of the Northwestern
Railway company. and large stock
holder and director of thu Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Company, is having,erec-
ted 10 this city, at the corn er Of Broad
street and Salem avenue, commodious
14-room frame dwellieg.
The house is being built of the very
best lumber obtainable and Capt. Will
son is having the work done under his
own supervision with Contractor Nc
Kinney in charge of the building.
The house and lot will represent n
investment OF $4,000 and'the building
will be fitted out with steam heat and
all modern sanitary convenience.
Capt. Wilson is great believer in
Sumter and it's future, and backs his
judgement by investing thousands of
dollars in Sumter real estate and in
railway facilities in this city. AS he is
one of the best known and most success
full fnanciers in South Carolina, owning
hundreds of thousand of dollars in real
property and other investments in South
Carolina and other Southern States, and
as he is a keen business man, his Judge
ment is worth having in business mat
ters and property investment.
We would like to have a few more
citizens like Capt. Wilson and if Com
missioner Watson can induce a few
thousand whole-souled, good-natured
and successful Scotchmen like him TO
locate in Sumter, the Sumter county
delegation will support his department.

Cotton Mill For Greslyville.

Greelyville, July 2S. Special: At ar
enthusiastic meeting of the citizens OF
this place last week it WAS decided uu.
animously to erect q cotton MILAN l
large block OF the stock was at once snb.
scribed by those present.
For some time this project has been
in the minds of some of the best buS;-
ness men and they thought the time for
definite actor ad come and called 4
publ 1rus g Mr.. McBeth Young:
Of Ur.Un, was present. and made L
a splendid talk He said he was no or
ator, but that he never knew 4 cotton
mill to be built on eloquence. though
some were commenced on what seemed
thin air." and that all that was need
ed was unity of thought and combi-
nation OF strength. 1t took three things
TO build and make successful Il mill:
Money, brains and labor.
';You have" said he. far more
wealth in Williamsburg than we had
in Union County when we went iuto the
cotton mill business: yOu haye Just as
brainy business men. andiI am assured
you have the labor. Undivided effort
will secure you mill and success.
1t was decided to build at least L TO-,
900 spindle mill, costing about S200,000
and to commence active work in that
direction at once. y temporary or
ganization was effected and T. w. Boyle
was chosen chairman and J. F. Register
secretary. Enough stock was subscribed
at once to give assurance OF success,
and committees were appointed to can
vass and also to secure a cnarter.
The best business talent Of this sec
tion is behind this enterprise, men
who know how to handle large business
and inspire confidence, and it is GER
tain we will soon have cotton mill
here.-News and Courier.
