KILLS HIMSlLF.
South CaroIiDian Suspected Of
IoC9Ddi2GiSm Suicides.
PROMINENT AND WELL OFF
Finding He Might BE Charged
With Burning His Hotel He
Takes Morphine

' ""'iS - -- il' "Itcnlpl-
ed suicide of Il 4 H"rri,, post
master of this place, proved sue
cessful, he having died at his
home here this morning nc 1
o o'clock. This is the elimination
of most sensational affair that
has stirred up the citizens of the
tom for the past week or two.
On the night of the 18th of
June the Union hotel was discov-
cred t" he on fire near the scuttle
hole in the hall of the third story.
The flames were well under way
when discovered by two young
men sleeping near where the fire
originated.
Fortunately the fire was dis.
covered in time to cxtinguish it
and when cXtinguishcd the odor
of Kerosene oil was very perceptI-
bile and upon examination in was
discovered that the wood and laths
near the fire had been saturated
with Kerosene and n can which
( had contained kerosene was found
near by
When the above facts became
generally known suspicion rested
ON Mr. Harris as being connected
with and responsible for the at.
tempted burning of the hotel.
! tlc was Il half owner of the hotel.
/ it having cost 50, 800 and was n
suacd for $4,000.
Quite a number, Of damaging
reports have been going the rounds
such a, follows: That Mr. Harris
was seen 10 leave the vicinity of
the hotel in suspicious manner a
short time before the fire, also
that he was seen by another party
near the hotel short time before
the fire: also that he. cndcayorcd
to restrain people from entering
( the burning building during the
fire for fear some evidence might
be secured against him.
The news Of Mr. Harris dcnth
was quite shock to the people
hero.
There is standing reward off
cred by the city council and citi-
zens of -, 600 for the capture and
! conviction of the person or per
sons who did the burning, and it
is ~umorcd here today that IL
party here in town would have
had Mr. Harris arrested today
and claimed the reward.
The death of Mr. Harris pre-
cludes; it is supposed, any definite
idea of ever solving the hotel fire
mystery, unless the rumor that
there are others connected with
the affair proves to have some
foundation
The prevailing opinion is that
it is plain case of "mrr rider will
out and that ''suicide is confcs.
sion.
Five years ago there was net a
more popular man i'll the county
than Bob Harris. Prosperous,
talented, smart and popular he
was honored by his people with
every trust, and was sent as a
delegate representing his district
to the Chicago convention.
His course there has passed in
to history, which is familiar TO
every South Carolinian.
He returned home, and after
the election of Grover Cleveland
to the presidency, was appointed
