THREE OTHER CLUBS.

Closing Down of the Bars on Sum
days-They VIII Not Attempt TO
Fight Against the Law-They Ac-
cept It's Fiat and VIII YieId-Ohi-
GERS VIII Talk the Matter over.
Not Improbable That Next Sunday
VIII He Determined Upon as the
First for General Closing of
Club Bnrs-Bonrds of Governors
May Formally Decide This Week
to Close on sundays.
Thirsty club members had no trou-
bic in alleviating their distress yester-
day. The bars were open, and business
was done in the usual way. A touch
upon the electric button summoned the
waiter, and anything from a claret
lemonade to the real stuff might be had
for the ordering.
All save the Harmonic Clubs were
open. The Harmonic Club preserved its
second Sunday of a closed bar, and
strong drinks were not to be had. Iced
water was the best that was at hand
for the club members. Those who like
something a little stronger now and
then had to be content with that bev-
erage.
Considerable interest was felt by the
II embers of the other clubs in the
matter. They did not know whether
the officers had decided to close up,
in response to the request of H. h.
Wilson, Esq, attorney for the Good
Government League, and until they
made inquiries or gathered from OBJ
servation, they did not know that the
day had brought no change in the adj
ministration of the clubs affairs.
The club bars will be closed, how
ever, for not one of those who govern
them, who has yet been approached,
has failed to say that the club would
comply with the law, which they con-
slider demands Sunday closing of club
bars, as well as those that are operat-
ed regularly as a business. The clubs
have only been awaiting for concerted
action. They will close up the bars, but
they want it to be through some I'M
derstanding among themselves. The
same day, too, for the innovation will
be selected, and it is probable that it
will be next Sunday.
The presidents of the clubs will prob
ably get together to-day or tomorrow
TO talk over the matter. Some common
agreement will then probably be reach
ed, which will be submitted to boards
of governors, who will formally con-
clude to shut up the bars on Sundays.

TRICKED BY AN OFFICER.
Escaped Convict Had Been Visiting
the Jail for n Year.

Butt Williams, alias Jim Davis. col
ored, after eighteen years of freedom,
was arrested in the county Jail yester-
day by Chief Deputy Sheriff Sweeney.
The negro escaped from the South Car
DINA penitentiary nearly twenty years
ago, and came to this city. For the
last year he has been employmed as
driver for a dairy company and in
that capacity visited the Jail daily.
Deputy Sweeney learned that the ne
gro had escaped from the pententtary
at Columbia, where he had been SEN
fenced for a felony committed in Beau
fort county. The startling information
was also impaired to the officer that
he would not have to trouble himself
by going after the escaped convict.
Williams would pay his daily visit to
the prison to secure scraps, and 1t
would be an easy matter to get him.
The negro was cleverly tricked by
the officer, and had no chance to re-
sist He was really behind the bars be-
fore he was told that he had been TAX
en- in custody. Williams had gone in
the Jail yard, but did not find the us
ual bucket of scraps. The officer was
watching for his man and told him
that he would have to go inside the
prison for the food left by the prison
ers. The deputy explained that the
trusty was too busy to attend to the
matter
Williams never for a moment sus-
pected that he was walking into a trap,
and entered the prison proper without
the slightest hestancy. Deputy Sween-
ey followed him, and when the iron
door had been closed on both he told
the negro that he was a prisoner. At
first Williams denied his identity. He
saw, however, that he had been caught
squarely and later admitted that he
is the man wanted. He agreed to make
the trip to Columbia without trouble,
and left at once in charge of the Of
ficer. Deputy Sweeney had already Sc
cured transportation for himself and
prisoner, so sure had he been that he
would have no difficulty in making the
arrest.
