LIQUOR LAW PASSES GIVES CHARLESTON BIGHT Tl SELL LICENSES UNDER CERTAIN RULES ? Conditions In OIiarlesCoK Are lieviewed, Which Showv That IVescut law Iliui Never Been Enforced, nnrl Point* Out the BeacilLs Under 1'Im Proposed in Bill. 11(7 A voto of 66 to 45, the IIoubo Thursday night passed to third reading Mr. Rittonbectr's bill to provide a liquor license system for tho city of Charleston. The message was takon uj> Thursday morning and 'Mr. Uittenberg spoke earnestly in favor of his bill. Ho asserted that it was purely a local matter and that all other methods of dealing with the liquor question in Charleston had failed to accomplish the desired results. Other members of tho House took tho opposite view and held that it was not. a local question, and that the evil effects of the license system in Charleston would spread to other counties. Further debate 011 the question was postponed until Thursday night by the arrival of the hour to consider Mr. Rembert's bill. When debate was resumed Thursday night on Mr. Itittenberg's bill, Mr. Rarnwell made the opening argument, which was clear-cut and effective. He asserted emphatically that tho contemplated law will relieve conditions which have become intolerable. The situation demands relief, he said, and Charleston is trying to work out her own salvation. Mr. Whaley discussed Charleston's unique position in the State, both as to its citizenship, which is cosmopolitan, and as to topographical and geographical location. It is impossible to stop shipping of illicit liquor into that city, he said. Mr. Whaley argued strongly that the lalwbreakers i\f eii'vrioBtnn sro trptfintr rich under the present. regime and that the dispensary ig an absolute failure. Taking up the question of lawlessness, Mr. Whaley said that if the law was enforced by the Governor or by the Mayor or by the juries of Charleston, they would not have blind tigers, but neither or these officials has done it and Charleston has suffered. Ho argued that if licenses at $1,000 each were issued to fifty liquor dealers they would act as detectives and wrould see that no one engaged in the sale of liquor without a license. The .blind tigers of Charleston are lighting the bill, was information which he had received, and members had been told that the tigers would not let the bill pass the House. This made him all the more eager to show that the Charleston tigers did not run things. He said the bill could hurt no one and ought to pass. The question was 011 Mr. Hiott's motion to strike out the enacting words of the Rittenberg bill, which, with amendments, had been accepted by tho delegation. The result was GG to 4 5 against killing the bill. This is a real, modern miracle, a majority voting to give Charleston a licenso system, or at least against killing the pending bill. Those who Yolod. for tho motion to striko out enacting words were as follows: J. W. Ashley, Atkinson, Raskin, Reiser, Bethoa, Rowers, Royd, Drowning, Rricc, W. E. Laughter, Epps, Evans, Friday, Fripp, Casque, Greer, Haynesworth, Iliott, Hunter, Hutchinson, ITutson, Irby, Jones, Kibler, McCravey, McDonald, McQueen, Mai|>as?, Moatis, Mower, Nelson, Nicholson, Peguos, Ready, Riddle, Riley, W. M. Scott. W. W. Scott, Sherwood, Shirley, White, Whitehead, Wyehe, Youmans and Speaker Smith. Total ? 4 5. The naya were as follows: Addy, Ashley, M. J., Barn well, Black well, Ru shoe, Clowney, Creech, Cross, Daniel, Dick, Fortnor, Goodwin, Gray, Hallo, Hall, Hardin, Harroleon, Harvey, Holley, Jaines, W. A., James, W.

S. Jr., Sapp, Shrodor, Sensoney, Smiley, Stanley, Strickland, Sturkle, Thompson, Tlndftl, Vandorhorst, Walker, Warner, Warren, Welsh, Whaloy, Wllhurn, Williams, Wyche. Total?60. The full text of the bill was published in Tho News and Courier on the 13th, the chief amendments arc to provide for a license for brow erf and bottlers, at $5,000 and graduated down, reducing tho salary for th< license commissioners from $1,80( to $1,000 each: the wholesale li cense is to bo $3,000 and retail 11 cense $1,0 00 each. No liquor is t( bo shipped outside Charleston; n< liquor can be sold by licensed dealer 1n less than half pints. There wa a question about allowing the rich to manufacture liquor or beer unti it was shown that this right, is no\ given, Tho amendment provides ?o publication of names of all nppli cants for licenses and no appllcatlo can bo granted until duly advertis ed. KILLED BY A SINGLE VOTE SKNATR REJECTS LKVKR AGRICULTURAL RILL. The Measure Will be Brought Up 1m the Next Congress When It Will I'asa Roth Houses. The vote of Senator Obadiah Gardner, of Maine, who la generally believed to be slated for Secretary of Agriculture In the Wilson Cabmt,:, defeated the Lever agricultural extension bill in the Senate WednesThintv-nnfl ^ionatorH votrd to ua/. A kin-v/ ? substantiate the Page vocatloual h'd for the Levor bill, and thirty Senators voted against the substitute. Four Democrats, Senators Chilton, of West Virginia; Gardner and Johnson of Maine, and Martine, of New Jersey, supported the Page substitute, while six Republicans, Senators Bourne, of Oregon; Brlstow of Kansas; Burnham, of New Hampshire; Burnton, of Ohio; Cummins, of Iowa, and LaFollette, of Wisconsin, vote.l in favor of the Lever hill. Otherwise, the division was strictly on party linea, the Republicans as a body standing by their Vermont colleague. Whpn seen after the vote, Representative Lever said: "I am not discouraged by the situation because j the Page bill was passed by one vote j and included the substantial features; of my bill, as the latter was unanimously adopted by the House. I have not determined whether to have! the matter referred back to tho House committee on agriculture or to ask for a conference. I do not I know what the attitude of the House will be. as the Page bill has never been considered 011 that side." Tho I.ever bill is confined to agricultural extension and is a continuation and development of an established policy, while the Page bill also includes vocational and industrial features and means the beginning of an absolutely new line of activity by the Federal Government. Again, under tho Lever bill, South Carolina would have to spend only $70,000 to secure the benefit, while the state would have to put up about $350,000 under the Page hill before getting a cent. If the Lever and Page bill9 are referred back to the House committee on agriculture, there will probably be no further action on them at this session. If they go to conference there is a bare chance that some agreoment may be reached. Tho general view is that the subject is at a standstill for this Congress. TILLMAN IN COLUMBIA. Senator in Fine Shape, Physically and Mentally. Sonator Tillman was in Columbia Wednesday and Thursday. He looks far better than he has in years. Much of his ruddy color has returned to his face and ho gets about pretty well. He says he feels that he is hotter than he has been in years, because he can think as he used to, and is in the frame or mina mm coucucls questions to fire at senators. Ho says that he is very much in hopes that tho legislature will got down to work and quit trying to foment strife. Ho Is ready for fighting If it has to be done, but does not think it for tho good of the State. Ho thinks tho Federal Congress will do very little before the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson, because tho Republicans are trying to leave as much over as possible to handicap tho Democrats and make them act on tho appropriation bills and thereby defer action on tho tariff. ? ? Jeweller Drinks Poison Dospondent over tho loss of a J 100.000 fortune in speculation, Samuel Newborger, ouco a prosperous jeweler, ended his life In the balcony of an uptown theatre in New York during tho performance Friday night. IIo drank poison and the end came so silently that few porsons around him know he was dead. ? ^ Chooses Suicide to Theft. Ivan Arlovski, aged nlno year# committed suicide in St. Petersburg Russia, recently, because his parentf ordered him to go into the atreett and steal for n living. Mr. Kibler said there were s< many amendments that they shouli 1)0 printed and studied before a flna vote was taken. Mr. w naioy ioui charge of the narlinmentary sltun tlon and insisted on finishing wit ! the amendments.

Can Carry Out Their Measure* W it faout the Aid of Any of the i*rogretwlve Republicans. With tfae election Wednesday ??f Willard Saulsbury as Unltea States senator from Delaware, the Democratic strength in the next senate swung from the precarious figure of 4 7 or exactly one-half senate to the safor total of 4U, a majority of two. VTr S?j? ii 1 nhiirv'r Alprfinn. uririmi to the victory recently ?ecured In Tennessee, assures the Democratic party absolute control of the senate after March 4. The vote of Vice Presi dent Marshall would have been the deciding factor in any event, but tne addition of another Democratic vote to the column gives the party leaders what they believe to be a safe margin for tariff and legislative action. Contests still exist in the legislatures of New Hampshire, West Virginia and Illinois with a total of four senators to be elected about whoso political affiliations doubt now exists. A victory in any one of these States would so materially strength the Democratic party that the senate would be completely removed from the elemtVit of uncertainty. The attitude of the Progressives and the progressive Republicans upon tariff matters is as yet unknown, but the margrin of strength promised to the Democrats makes it unnecessary, it is believed, to count upon any combinations with the Progressives. Of the entire membership of 96 senators, 63 will hold over beyond March 4. Of these 32 are Republi cans and 31 Democrats. The terms of 3 2 senators expire in March, and there is, in addition, one vacancy in Illinois. Thus far 17 Democratic senators have been elected and tho election of Senator Bacon in Georgia is certain, making 18 Democrats to take the oath of office March 4. The opposition forces, including both the Republicans and the Progressives, have elected 11 new senators. The senate, after March 4. will stand as follows, if the deadlocks are not broken In Illinois, New Hampshire and West Virginia: Democrats, 49; Republicans and Progressives, 43; vacancies, 4. TRIPLE TRAGEDY IN FLORIDA. Two Children Die From Snakebites and a Third Drowns. A horrible tragedy occurred in the Rolosson family on the banks of the Suwanee River, in Lafayette County, Fla., Wednesday afternoon, when three children met death, two from snake bite, the third from dnw ling. Mrs. Rolesson sent her liliie bov tc deliver a message, but before the child had gone very far his screams attracted the mother, who, busy with lier baby, sent a younger child to ascertain the trouble. Presently the screams of the ie<cnd child attracted the mother, who put her baby on the floor and ran to their assistance. As she approached she saw a monster rattlemako sinking its fangs into the smaller eh.id.

Tuft Garden Co., Taft, Fli 1 THEY GO TO AUGUSTA CONVICTS AI IE UKIxEASED APTKK LKGAL DETENTION. 0 '4 It Li CLtfged that Um South Ctoi Una Authorities Are Negligent la Bending For Them. The Augusta Chronlole says Police Lieut. E. B. Hatcher ie responsible for the statement that Augusta^ ererrun with criminals from South Carolina, and that in the greater number of instances, the city author lties are powerleoa to act. In the first place, he says, there are any number of pardoned criminals, who have found their way inte the oity from "across the river", and in the sooond place, the authorities are lax in sending for escaped convicts when they are apprehended and held in the city. Whether the recent excessive number of burglaries are attributable to any of the escaped or pardoned convicts, Mr. Hatcher would not say, for if there wore any evidence against any of them the situation would take on a different aspect. Mr. Hatcher referred particularly to a recent case wherein two convicts escaped from the South Carolina chain gang. The customary notice was sent the Augusta police department, and the two men were arrested. The South Carolina authorities were formally notified, but the men were never sent for. One is said to have been a more or loss prominent burglar, and the other was held for robbery. They were detained at the Augusta headquarters as long as the law allowed, or a longer period, and were finally released. South Carolina has not sent for them yet, and unless they have left the city within the last twenty-four hours, they are still walking the streets "within the law". ? <JAN<; OF THIEVES AT WORK. Said to be Operating in This Sectio* of tlie Htate. I The Herald says on Wednesday night of last week the store of the Bamberg Furniture and Hardware Company In Bamberg was broken iato and robbed of about $100 worth of goods, among the articles taken being a fine shot gun, knives, razors, and the like. The thieves made their entrance through a rear window but went out the back door. The next afternoon a telephone message was received from Aiken saying one of the robbers hadf^been captured there, ho being arrested by Mr. H. W. Kearney, a game warden, who found the negro, John Green, in company with two other negroes. However, he only arrested Green, who carried the shot gun taken from the store there. Green has been brought to Bamberg and lodged in Jail. His story is that ho did not assist In the robbery, but camo to Bamberg with the other two negroes Wednesday night. That they walked to Denmark and took the early Coast Line train to Augusta, where they pawned a watcn taken from the store, and wore back In Atken county when arrosted by Mr. Kearsey. He says the other two negroes are the ones who did the stealing. No doubt all are guilty, and Mr. John Cooner, secretary and treasurer of the hardware company, has offered a reward of $25 each for the captors - m *v nnnrrrtno flrAAn l?
