THE LICENSE ORNANCE. A Meeting Of Citizens To Discuss The Mat ter This Afternoon-A Mistaken Impression. The license ordinance passed by city council at its last meeting has been the general subject lof conver sation on the streets since its publi cation. Some are opposed to the system and there are others who, while they favor a license system, think that the scale of prices adopt ed by council is not equitable. A petition has been circulated and very generally signed by the busi ness men calling a meeting to be held in the opera house this after noon at 4 o'clock to discuss the matter and, if deemed advisable, to take action requesting council to amend the ordinance. There are very many in Newber ry who think that Newberry should have a license sytem of some kind. However, the whole matter will be -fully and freely discussed at the meeting this afternoon. There were a number of farmers in the city yesterday who were hos tile to the ordinance on the ground that it interfered with the sale of - the produce of their farms and that ' they could not even bring a horse -to town and swap him for another without paying a license. This is entirely an erroneous impression. The license ordinance has nothing whatever to do with the sale of home produce and does not interfere with a man swapping his horse, provided he does not do so on the streets. It is intended, however, to break up the o'd "bone yards." But a man -may bring his produce to town and - sell it and he may bring his horse to town and swap it in a lot and the license ordinance does not interfere with him in the slightest degree. The State law protects the fariers in the.matter of disposing of their Jlome produm GUder, Weeks & Hunter. Mr. Frank R. Hunter, who has been with the drug firm of Gilder - Weeks for more than two years past, was taken into ti.e firm with -the ovening of this year, and the name of the firm is now Gilder, Weeks & Hunter. The firm was one of the strongest and most re liable in the State and this strength and reliability has been materially increased by the association of Mr. Hunter's name in the firm. Mr. Hunter pre':ious to coming to New berry was in the drug business in *Prosperity. He is young an~d en ergetic and has hosts of friends throughout every section of the county and St:ate.
