J. Barr Harris'sTroubles.
On the first page in this issue
wo reproduce from a Montana
paper its account of the trial and
conviction of J. Barr Harris. Ho
was charged with seduction and
for the offence ho is now serving
a ono-year term in the ponitentiary
at Doer Lodge in Montana.
Says tho Rock Hill Herald:
There is evidently a feeling in
Houseman, Mr. Harris1 homo, that
ho is the victim of a conspiracy to
ruin and deprive him of influence
which ho seems to have exerted in
Montana. He was an aggressive
missionary and aroused the envy
of some peoplo who woro glad of
the opportunity to push him to
the wall. That his enemies had
much to do with his prosecution
is made apparent by the admission
of the Rozeman Chronicle,
which states that "thero are not
lacking respectable men and women
who stuck to Harris to the
last, and still appear to believe in
his innocence." A letter from
Rev. 8. B. Harper, formerly of
Rock Hill, now living at Helena,
Montana, serves also to strengthen
this opinion. Responding to a
letter written him by one of our
citizens, asking for information,
Mr. Harper in a letter received
here a few days ago, says:
Helena, Mont., May 28, 1003.
Dear Bro. : Yours of the 23d
inst. to band. In reply, will say
that the report whbh you speak
of is true. Brother Harris was
convicted on May 10th of seduction.
The next day he was sen
fenced to one year in the State
prison. He has been there about
two weeks. 1 wish to add, however,
that it is my tirm belief that
an innocent man is being made to
suffer for the sins of another. 1
was in Bozeman and attended the
trial. 1 heaid all the evidence,
and know all the facts, pro and
con, and I fell auro that Barr is
innocent of this grave charge.
There was a line of evidence,
which, if it had been admitted,
would have cleared him forever;
but becuuso of some technical
point it was excluded.
I believe this was the culmination
of a long and persistent etTort
on the part of some to rum Harris.
It certainly is a very unfortunate
affair?unfortunate for the man
who is made to suffer, and so unfortunate
for the good name of
lift MllirMl il,?f mi">t U""1"

reparable harm in the mind of tlio
general public. 1 intend at some
later time to make a strong appeal
to Gov. Toole for a pardon. 1 can
enlist the aid of some very influential
men here to that end.
The whole thing is a long story
and 1 cannot go into details here.
Yours in christian love. S. B.
Hakpkh.
The Bozeman Chronicle says,
"It is understood that there is
likely to be no attempt at a new
trial." Possibly so, but we are
told that tho Odd Fellows of this
city have taken the matter up,
and are arranging to have tho
whole affair sifted to tho bottom.

KIIJ.KD QUEEN WITH AXK.
Beilin, June 11*?A dispatch
from Semlin, Hungary, to The
National Zeitung gives an interesting
version of tho events in ]
Belgrade, it says: A party of !

and shot the King and Queen and
Petrovitcs, one of the King's aide
de camps, and other loyal officers.
The leader of the actual assailants
was Lieut. Col. Miscliich,
who himself murdered the Queen.
The later, togetder with her brother
and sister, was struck down
with an axe. The king lived a few
minutes.
The immedicate cause of the
revolution was the return to Belgrade

,j.,wu ulivi ou|i|'<;acu
candidate for the throne.

Flooded District.
Special to News and Courier.
Spartanburg, Juno 10.?Very
exaggerated reports have boon;
published in regard to suffering
and starvation at 1'acolet and
Clifton. Our citizens wero indiguant
when they read statements
that are not entitled to credence.
To-day is the first day when trains
could go from this place to Clifton.
A carload or two of clothing
and supplies was sent down, and
the distribution began at once in
a most systematic manner. Special
committees wero appointod at
each of the thieo Clifton villages,
and in a mod rapul unci orderly
way supplies were given out.
Those who lost everything when
their houses wore washed away
were supplied with clothing, food
and bed clothes. Mr. Shoa, the
superintendent, has a list
of every family that occupied the
houses that were destroyed. Ho
will see that they are fluly supplied
with everything needed. Tomorrow
the work of distribution
will go on, so that all who are
needy will bo supplied. The company
store at Clifton has never
been closed against any one who
was in need of provisions. Besides
that, the Clifton Company will
pay out to-morrow about $25,000,
due the hands for May and up to
the disaster.
i
There is no starvation and no
sufferiug at either mill. There is
dissatisfaction. TheUev. W. J.
Snyder, who has be n a most
active and sympathetic friend of
the mill people, was advising
them to-day to go at once to other
mills. Some of them say6:
<lYes, you want to got us off so
you can get all that money in
