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.
