LIQUOR WILL HEREAFTER BE

There is a Movement to Form Number OF CLUBS IN

fore 1t became incumbent upon uH to pro-
tcct ourselves.
Now take the clubs Of this city You
will find that in many Of them drinks are
sold on Sunday, and that this selling of
drinks is entirely beyond the province OF
the police Therefore, the plan is now
afoot to establish clubs to replace the
open saloons on Sunday. and within
week or SO there will be five or six of
these in existence. The result will be
that LIQUOR will be sold openly in Rich
mon on Sunday for the first time In many
years.
'.Applications for charters have already
been made in one or two cases. and as
there can be no opposition to these char
tors. Sundays will soon see business wide
open again. We are merely standing on
our rights against the clubs in this mat
ter In other words, I do not see why
a person drawing IS a week should be
compelled to go without drink on Sun
day if he wants it, while the man who
draws $50 week can get it in the clubs. >
Other saloon men in the city take the
same view of this matter. and will go
ahead in the formation of clubs. The
same thing is done in New York on an
extensive scale, and SO far as that State
gnes, innumerable test cases have come
to nothing. The Sunday closing ques-
ton in this city is therefore up in the air
again.

From plans now being formed by the sa-
Icon men of Richmond, 1t seems that
the Sunday closing order. issued last
W eek by Judge Witt, and which resulted
in dry Sunday for the first time IN
many months will be evaded and the pur-
pose OF the law set at nauGht This will

in ali parts of the city, to which mem
bcrship may be gained by a small fee.
According to the statement Of one OF
the leading saloon men of this city. th1r-
ty per cent. of the drink selling business
is done on Sunday. The exepnse OF a
cl, b. such as is now contemplated by the
aalcon men, would be the rental OF the
rooms necessary in which to establish
a club and the charter fees. That these
charters could be obtained goes without
saving. and that the regular patrons OF
a saloon would be admitted on the pay
ruent of a nominal fee to place where
drinks are sold not only all day Sun
day. but all night, also goes without say
