Brock Promises to Explain All.

Columbia, May 24.-Gen. Boyd
had an inning to-day before the mill
tary court of inquiry in the Brock
Boyd row and a sensational showing
was made as to how Col. Brock
charged expenses on his inspection
tour in the spring of last year. Col.
Brock, however, has promised to sat-
isfactorily explain all the things
brought out to-day. The investiga-
ton is becoming intensely interest
ing.
Lieut.. Cabannis, the army officer
attached to Gen. Boyd's Office who
made the inspections with Col. Brock,
was placed on the stand and COM
parison made between his expenses
at the various points where the in
spections occurred with the itemized
vouchers filed by Col. Brock and on
which warrants were issued to him.
These vouchers were approved by
Gen. Boyd, himself, however.
The evidence showed that Col
Brock charged the State at every
point from two to six times that
Mr.. Cabannis charged the Fedora.
government. At various points team
and hack fare were charged when ap'
parently no teams were used or the
two rode as guests of the local mill
tiamen.
In some places Mr.. Cabannis made
no charges for hotel bills, as he ane
Col. Brock were guests of friends
During these inspections Mr.. Cabanis'
used 1900 miles of mileage while
Col. Brock charged the State up will
1000 miles.

New Press Bought.

The Herald has bought new press
for high-class job work, and this
equipment will enable us to handle
all sorts of book and other job work
rapidly and most satisfactorily. 1t
is a Miehle cylinder press, the very
latest and best press for letter press
work on the market. 1t costs con-
siderably more than the job or
platen presses, but the work is
superior and the speed is much
greater. We will no doubt have
this fine machine installed the
latter part of this week or the
first of next, and our friends
are invited to come in and see it al
work. This will give us the best
equipped Office below Columbia, out
side of the larger cities.

Anderson Jury Acquits Harris.

Anderson, May 20.-Calhoun Har.
ris, former secretary and treasurer o1
the Orr cotton mills of Anderson, to.
night was acquitted of the charge o1
forgery and breach of trust. The
jury returned the verdict of not guilty
at 80 tonight, after deliberating
little more than three hours.
Rain was falling in torrents when
a deputy was dispatched to the hotel
for Judge Watts when the jury an
nounced that it had agreed upon a
verdict. More than 100 men and wo'
men quickly gathered in the court
room, and when the verdict was an
nounced there was an outburst OF
handclapping and straightway there
gathered around Harris 80 or 40 OF
his friends to extend congratulations
Mrs. Harris, her father and Harris
father, with several other near rela'
tives, were with him when the clerk
read the verdict. All of them were
visibly affected. Harris face bright,
ened and broad smile came to take
the place of the tired and worried ex-
preston that he has had during the
trial.
Judge Watts directed Harris coun'
sci to prepare the order of discharge
and the court house was soon de-
serted.
The Harris case was opened Mon
day morning and has been attended
with much interest. 1t originated
from an alleged shortage of about
$4,000 in the accounts of the Orr
mills. By agreement among counsel
three cases of forgery and one OF
breach of trust were tried together
and a verdict of not guilty was re-
turned in each. There remain two
other counts of forgery yet untried
and these may never be tried, GER
tainly not at this term of court. This
term lasts 10 days or more but there
is other business sufficient to keep
the court busy until adjournment car
be reached.

The editorial from The State which
we publish in another column is ex-
:actly along the right line. Too many
so-called newspapers have no reason
or right to exist, and the sooner the
newspaper fraternity takes definite
and positive action in regard to such
sheets the better it will be for the
newspapers which cost time and
money to publish. We commend the
consideration of this subject to our
brethren at the annual meeting
soon to assemble at Glenn Springs.
