The House. was In session to-night until 18:30 o'clock this morning, work ins; on the Berenue bill. .The remain Ins; sections . were gone orer and the bill put on passsge of second reading. However, --it . dereloped suddenly that tnerewaa no quorum prese laekins; tea members. .The Sergeant-at-arms was sent out to bring ia a suf ficient number. . " . In the meantime, while officers of the House were hauling some mem bers out of bed to make a quorum, those In the hall adjourned, so the bill goes orer to to-morrow. It ean be passed on only one read ing each day, so seven will be required to put it through both branches. : The only change of note made to night was in the tax on saloons, an amendment , being adopted . prescrib ing that they shall be taxed 8300 for State and 8800 ' for county purposes, this being; more than doable the tax heretofore. The committee, which formulated the new bill and reported it to the House, recommended that the tax on retail liquor dealers be three times what it now is, bat from the shore it appears the House is willinr to make it only double. The license now re quired is 850 each six months for the Bute and the same for the county or 8300 per year all told. The new law as passed Isst night makes the total tax 8400. There Is a corresponding in create in the license for wholesale dealers and malt liquor dealers. Another change in the liquor license law is in .the manner In which it is applied. The Act of 1901 simply pro- Tides that revenue arisinr from this source "shall be paid to the Treasurer of the County Board of Education for the benefit of the school fund of the schools of such county " while the new law prescribes "That one half of the taxes levied by the State for liquor license under the preceding sections shall be paid into the State Treasury and the other half shall be paid to the Treasurer of the County Board of Edn- UIon .for ' the sehool- fund- of .the county' in which the same Is col lected."

Governor Aycock to-day honored the requisition of the Governor of South Carolina for Samuel White, colored now in jail, st Wilmington and held by the Federal authorities. Owing to a mistake in giving the negro's, aliases, it wfll.be is? 'laaft fmm , Mirj-; bora county, SL C , to identify him as the murderer of another negro there. The crime was committed eleven years. The negro referred to in the above telegram was identified here at the last term of the United States Court under the most peculiar circumstances. He was brought over from WhiteviHe, Columbus county, to be tried for sell ing liquor without license and . bad agreed to waive a bill and plead guilty of the charge, there being no grand jury at the special term and White be ing especially anxious to receive his punishment and go his way. While the negro was sitting in the prisoner's box awaiting proceedings, Mr. W. T. Newton, formerly a deputy sheriff In Scotland county, jwho hsppened to be In attendance upon the court, recog nized White at Bam Watkins, wanted ia Marlboro county, B.C., for the mur der of another ! negro, near Tatum station, eleven years ago. After be ing Identified as a murderer, the negro decided not to submit to the charge of selling liquor without license and was remanded to jail, as there was no grand jury at the special term to in vestigate the case. Watkins' victim was Will Roper, ! colored, with whom he quarrelled about a woman. It Is said that he hunted Roper down and deliberately shot (him. He then fled and had been at large, although a re ward of $300 was offered for his arrest. Scotland county is on the South' Carolina line and Mr. Newton knows the negro well, as he once worked for his father. When Watkins saw that he had been -caught, he wrote on a allp of paper "am the man you want" and handed the paper to Mr. Newton. When arrested near Whlteville for retailing liquor the negro was taken on the train to jaLL Nearlng the place of . confinement Watkins got away' from the' deputy i marshal in charge and jumped from the rapidly movlog cars, breaking a leg. The officer was puxsled to know why the negro should take such desperate chances of his life for so trivial a charge, but the Identi fication by MrNswton in the court room explained it all.
