Bo* 304.] The most practical and stylish frocks for the mid-summer season are of linen, with a coat and short skirt, to be worn wljth shirt waist. The coat is in every form and length, from the eton, which does not reach the belt lino, to the long three quarter leneth. The daintiest hats of the season are made of narrow ruffles of yellow val- enclenes lace. For the small boy there is nothing to supplant the linen suit on the lines of the Russian blouse, simply a little variation in the collar or fastenings. • • • Miss Leila Curtis has gone to Rock Hill to visit friends.

C., July 31.—The most horrible and shocking accident occur red at Davis Shore, about ten miles east of Beaufort, yesterday afternoon, when Sutton Dpvis, a 16-year-old lad, while wading and playing in the wa ter. was suddenly attacked and eaten by a very large shark. Sutton was in the water about waist deep, when sud denly a shark appeared, threw him in the air and caught him as he struck the water, pulled him under and dis- appeared in deep water with the boy. Thorough search l.as been made but no part of his body lias been found. Those that were with him were terri bly frightened, but could not help the poor boy. The accident has thrown a feeling of terror over the town peo ple and the guests of the community. The people, and particularly the chil dren. have enjoyed the fine dives and invigorating swimming matches which they daily participate In. A largo number of shaj-ks have been noticed in our waters for two weeks, but no ono felt much anxiety concerning the terrible monsters. A large quantity of fat backs have been caught this month, and a quantity of refuse matter has been thrown back into the water from the factories and sharks have come in to f^ast. It is the first time a person has been molested by a shark irt our waters in nearly fifty years. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Harvie Jordan in Spartanburg. The following letter is self-explana tory: Trough.

Is it right that a property-owner should lose $4.20 to let a dealer make 50 cents? A dealer makes 50 cents more on fourteen gallons of ready- for-use paint, at $1.50 per gallon, than our agent does on eight gallons of L. & M. paint and six gallons of linseed oil, which makes fourteen gallons of the best paint in the world, at $1.20 per gallon; the property-owner loses just $4.20. Is It right? It only requires 4 gallons of L. & M. and 3 gallons linseed oil to paint a moderate sized house. Ten Thausand Churches painted with Longman & Martinez L. & M. Paint. Liberal quantity given to churches when bought from Smith Hardware Co., Gaffney; Blacksburg Drug Co., Blacksburg. —Big Dinner at Hasty Restaurant Monday, August 7th.
