E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New oerry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Friday, April 6, 1000. Spartanburg, Yorkville and Flor" once are making efforts to secure tho State Reformatory which was provid ed for at the last session of the legis lature. Greenwood is soon to have water power from Savannah river to furn ishli her electrie ciurrent. We have been talking about getting water pow er from Parr Shoals for a couple years. It is a pity we could not get some water power from some of the many powers in the rivers near enough to Newberry which is going to waste simply because it is not har nessed. This power could be furnish ed at a profit cheaper than the cost of coal to generate it by steam. It is getting time to get to work on that union station at Newberry if we are to have it during this genera tion. Probably when Col. Wharton finishes electioneering in Washington and the other railroad commissioners return from Cuba they will have time to take it up. The tinion depot should be built at the foot of Caldwell street at the junction of the two roads but the makeshift. promised us would be an improvement on what, we have. We would like to see something coming our way. Some two or three months ago a start was made on the proposed change and about, one hundred feet of track was laid, but there the mait ter was left, in abeyance for better weather. Surely this weather would be good enough for this work to pro ceed. It tle court house commission were selecting a site for the reason that those who owned adjacent property were to be benefited and were to con tribute to the county for that favor there is no doubt they could have re ceived nineh more liberal bids from either Prosperity or Whitmire. No (ou)t either one of these enterprising towns would have given several acres of the most desirable land in their midst, and probably chipped in a mite to help the county build it. The commission has decided and that is final but it is a great pity. The strets that surround the location selec ted are scarcely wide enough for two vehicles to pass and the lot is small and the court. house will be hidden. But, we suppose tle commlission thought. the county needed the contri butions. And we have no doubt they acted conscientiously in the matter but sometimies even people who do that make griev'ous mistakes. Nothiung has been heard of the pro posed chiange of schedule on the C. & 0. division of the Southern which was agreed upon some time ago and wvhich is to go into effect on the 10th. Of course the change will be mlade and when it is no doubt the trains will lbe able to live up to it. We are glad to note in the Record a few days ago that at least one citi zen (ofI Columbia has awvakened to the fact that such a schedule would not only be a convenience to people who wanuted to go to Columbia but w~ould be a great benefit to Columbia and that citizen, bg the way, is a lawvyer who would probably receive the least direct benefit from such a schedule. Mr. H. W. Shiand had anl interview in thle Record showing how mlornling trains into Columbia and afternoon trains out wouild be of benefit to the business men, especially merchants, but we have heard of no other efforts being made to secure such a train from thle uip coiuntriy. Surely the business men of Colum b)ia realize and appreciate the trade from this sect ion. Andl frequently, p)ersonis from all over the state have business at the capital and wvould like to go anld attend to it in personi but do0 not care to lose part of two days and1( a night from home. 'the schedule will go on in a few days. TROLLEY LINES ON PAPER. A new trolley line has just been completed from Spartanburg to Aik % en, Last week.a line was built from Asheville to Gaffney, which will prob a4' bly connect with the Yorkville and Charlotte line at Lockhart. The line from Rock Hill via Chester and Great * Falls to Columbia makes. Conniectionu there with. the Augusta-Aiken line. Youn now leave Charlotte over the Yao i route and coming inte South .~jCarolina traversedthebest part of the Natamtnasnahe trllfalndwe on the trolley an4 take a ride.-York ville New Era. You surely have not 9verlooked the line from Anderson to Greenville and the Whitmire, Newberry, Saluda ald Augusta line. You must remember, too, that most ente'rprises in this day that amount to anything have first to be constructed in the newspapers. What objection is there to itt Most all of these lines will be built with wood and steel in the near future. Congressman Lever. lon A. F. Lever has served the Seventh Congressional district so ae eel)tably and has won so many stead fast supporters by business-like at tention to the interests of his constit uents that his re-election for another term is assured. There is no prospect of any opposition to him this year, and if there should be the man who makes the race will be doing so mere ly for the sake of gaining experinece as a campaigner and stump speaker. -Sumter Item. Mr. Lever makes a good congress man and should be returned without opposition. Mrs. Bivens Acquitted. St. George, April 4.-Mrs. Dora Hivens, wife of State Senator Bivens, of Dorchester, was tried here yester (lily for the murder of a1 Jew peddler ialled M. Greenberg, whom she shot on the night of February 5, 1905, while her husband was attending the legislature. The defense offered no evidence and a verdict of acquittal was rendered in a short time after the jury retired. Grcenberg was shot in the presence of two neighbors C1. M. Limelhouse and .J. .J. Platt, the latter bringing in Liniehouse to eject Greenberg from the premises. Greenberg had locked himself in a room on the premises when the two neighbors came in and broke open the door. He sat with his han11(ds stutTed in his overcoat pockets and said, when asked for an explana tion, of his presence at the place that " Mrs. Bivens had sent for him.' This enraged Mrs. Bivens who fired upon Greenberg killing him. She said Greenlberg had tried to persuade her to run away with him and had attempted to criminally as sault her. An important state witness, a di minutive Jew named Rhoden, coul'd not be found although the case was delayed in the hope of securing his attendance. The prosecution was conducted by Solicitor Hildebrand, while State Sen ator Cole L. Blease, of Newberry, was leading counsel for Mrs. Bivens. Election To Vote School Tax. Mr. Wmn.' H. Folk, Chr.
