THE .LEDGER. " liHrlow Cartvr, EDITOR AND MANAGER. SATIKDAY OOTOIIEK 25, 1902. For some time rumors ulTecting the character of Rev. HanHarris, former pastor of the | North Rock Hill Circuit, now in Bo/.eimm, Montana, have been : whispered in this community ami elsewhere in the State, hut Uev. S. B. Harper, former pastor of the Kock Hill Laurel Street Church, also iu Bo/.eman, having hoen informed of these rumors, has written a letter to Presiding Klder II. 11. Browne at Orangeburg, in which he declares that there is absolutely nothing in the reports, and says further: "It was the most outrageous case of attempted blackmail I ever heard of. It is a lonjjr story and O / 1 cannot here attempt details, but please say to all who ask about it that Barr is the same faithful and consecrated man he has always been. 11c is doing tine work at Bozeiuan." The rumors affecting Mr. liar lis referred to his conduct with a young lady in Bo/.eman, anil while there were many here in his old home who could not belisve they were true, it will be a relief to his friends to have, the word of so trustworthy a man as Mr. Harper that they are false.? Rock Hill Herald. Bishop I. C. Clinton has returned home from holding the 37th annual se-sion of the Tennessee conference of the A. M. 10. Ziou Church of America which convened at llarriuian, Tenn., the 16th inst. The Report of the Conference in the Journal and Tribune of Knoxvillo, Tenn., says: ''This conference is presided over by Rt. Rev. 1. ( . Clinton. D. IX, and ttic membership is composed of some of the most intelligent negroes of the state. O O The bishop delivered his Episcopal address which was full of thought and logic and tilled the members with burning zeal and a determination to attain to grander fields of accomplishment. The A. M. 10. Zion church is over one hundred and six years old and has a membership of nearly six hundred thousand. The church has several connectional schools from the lower grades to the cellege, its own publication house and booK room operated entirely by the members of the M i'ucc.

'1 < Recently the auditor of Sumter wrote tho comptroller general stating the c iso of a man in that county who he'd that he did not have to return a stock of goods which he had just bought from a wholesale house in this state on credit, he having bought the goods since January, 'l he case was referred to the attorney g"neral, who says that the taxes must be paid whether tho goods were bought on credit or not. The law provides that when a part) moves from one county to an other ho should get a eertilicate from tho treasurer that the taxes had been paid. This prevents double taxation. Columbia Ke<cord.

Seventy Five Thousand Dollars Is Estimated Loss to Dyeing House, Engines and Boilers. } Special to^ lhe State. ^ Chester, Oct. 23.?The Springstein mills sustained n heavy 'osa by lire this morning between^ 3 and 4 o'clock. The lire originated in the dye room on the lirst lloor of the now building, just recently completed. It was caused by spontaneous combustion from the cotton drying machine. Cotton on the hot steam pipes ignited and in a twinkling the room was in a blaze. The night watchman w is on his rounds in another part J of the mill, and ono of the foreman had just left tlie drying nia-> chine a moment before the fire alarm. This new building was an addition to the old dye house and boiler rooms and was built alongside the new spindle mill. There was only a small alloy way between them and it was a marvelous escape for the entire mill. In an instant after the first alarm was sounded Chief Fireman 11. 8. ileyman was on the ground with 25 of l is men hard at work. This number was increased by the full (piota of firemen m less than 30 minutes and the department performed most heroic and effective duty. A fireman was stationed in every window of the spindle mill and with brave hearts and true grit and i nerve tiicv fought the fierce flames back with water buckets acd hoso. The window frames were scorched and a small spot on the roof near the smokestack was burned, but not a spindle nor a thread was j damaged. The engine, boilers c ? slashers, beamings dyeing ma i i ' D ' n chines and a lot of piping were ' j totally destroyed. The loss is; 'estimated at about $75,000. The i mill will of necessity be closed clown for two or three months. ! The work of repairing and re- j building will commence at the | ? earliest possible moment. Col. Leroy Springs, the prcs- (1 ident of this mill, came over ! t i from Lancaster this morning and i has been among the operative all : ci day. lie is dealing* with them c most generously. The weavers a who prefer to remain in Chester t will be given their homes free of z rent for the next two months. A 6 night force will be put 011 again ] at the Eureka mill and the Spring- a stein spinners will be furnished r homo sat usual rates out there and j their household effects will bo r transported free of cost. All the 11 tlio weavers who want to leave t will he transported either to r Lancaster or Fort Mill without v charge. The mill is fully cov- 1 ered hy insurance in the Cotton i Mill Mutual.
