Going West:
The High License.

The high liquor license has not
come to this city easily. 1t has been
veXat1ous question since the adopt
ing of the ordinance imposing it. 1t
will be remembered that the or
dinance was adopted in 1903 for I'M
position in 1904; that account of in
formalities in the passing and promul-
eating of the act it was resisted by
some Of the liquor dealers, resulting
| in suits and the defeat of the ordinance
| in the State Supreme Court. Then fol-
lowed the adoption Of a new ordinance
fixing $1,000 liquor license for the
latter half of 1904. This second or
dinance was also resisted, and it ran
the gauntlet to the Supreme Court
where it was finally sustained in Jan
uary of this year.
| In the interim there were several
business changes in liquor selling es-
Establishments, which added to the COM
plications. The high license had also
been adopetd for 1905. This latter
license was paid without resistance.
| When the $1,000 license for the latter
half of 1904 was finally established by
the courts it brought a great burden
upon the liquor dealers, as they found
themselves facing the payment of both
licenses 1904 and 1909; together with
the costs of litigation, all ut the same
time.
| Then followed the cancellation OF
the mortgages against the defendants
resulting from the first suit IN the Dis
trict court The mortgages resulting
from the second suit still stand.
Triors to the first suit some few OF
the dealers paid the license without
resistance. When the Supreme court
invalidated the city's license ordinance
these parties were reimbursed by re-
ceiving warrant for $1,000, but the
license, which had been issued to them
for 1904. was not recalled. These war
rants were in turn endorsed by their
respective holders and turned in for
| 1908 licenses late.
1t is reported that the city, council,
at the regular meeting on last Monday
night, decided to enforce the collection
OF the 1904 license at this time

WOMAN SHOT WITH EFFECT.
Wife of Stare Senator ]. D. Bivens
Killed Man at Her Home
Near Ridgeville.

Just after the state senate conven-
ed for business Saturday morning
Senator J. D. Bivens OF Dorchester
received The following telegram:
Your wife killed the Jew. Come
home at once. Particulars later
i. A. Limehouse."
The following account Of the trag-
edy was wired from Ridgeville.
Ridgeville, February 1I.-At Beech
Hill, near Givhans Ferry, which is
seven miles south of Ridgeville, Mrs.
J. D. BivenS shot and killed w.
Greenburg last night
About the 9Th Of February Mrs. Jno
D. Bivens, wife of State Senator Biv-
ems, had w. Greenburg, white man,
arrested, charging him with having
threatened her life after having made
improper propositions. At the time
she was forced to leave her home and
seek protection at neighbor's house.
This charge was dropped upon Green
burg promising to leave the neighbor-
hood and not return.
The story, as related here, is that
on he night OF February 10 Green
burg returned to Mrs. Bivens's. She
sent for her neighbor, Mr.. Platt, to
come to her house. On his arrival
she told him that Greenburg had at
tempted to criminally assault her. Mr..
Platt went to Mr. R. L. Limehouse,
another nearby neighbor and the two
returned to Mrs. Bivens's. AS they
reached the hall door Mrs. Bivens
came to the door and they heard some
one run through the rear back door.
On entering the house Mrs Bivens
told them that Greenburg had ruin in
to the shed-room. They found the
door locked, broke it open and found
Greenburg in it, When asked why
he had returned there he said Mrs.
Bivens had sent for him.
At that moment Mrs. Bivens fired
upon Greenburg, killing him instant
ly.
Magistrate Cummings held an in
quest upon the dead body and the
jury rendered verdict of justifiable
homicide
Mrs. Bivens has been released un-
der bond to appear at the next term

The Ten-Eour Bill.

The house has killed. by decisive
vote. the Toole bill limiting the hours
OF work for cotton mill operatives to
ten hours day. The bill was kill
cd by vote OF o5 to TO- The three
members OF the Newberry delegation
voted against the motion to kill the
bill, voting solidly for the BILL
Mr. Taylor made speech in favor
OF the bill, saying there was an un-
dercurrent now at work demanding
recognition and the rights labor had
a right to call for. If labor was given
what it asked for then labor would
be satisfied and South Carolina would
forge ahead and even lead Massachus-
setts in after years. The operatives
demanded humane legislation. He
had overseers to tell nim that they
wished more time to study. Being in
a cotton mill was very much like be-
ing in a prison. Ii was too much to
require operatives to work II hours,
in hot, stuffy, dust-laden rooms. Peo-
pie wore out and gave out. Corpor
ations had no souls, but the people
who worked under them had souls
and could not go on grinding for all
time. Eleven hours was too long for
criminals, but it was not too long, it
was urged, for free white people to
work. There was a great deal of dis
cussion along the same line. Very
few speeches were made in opposi-
ton to the bill. the opponents of the
measure seeming to be satisfied they
had a decided majority and being will
ing to kill the bill by their votes and
without much talk.
