LOCKER" CLUBS IN TROUBLE
COLUMBIA POLICE ARE BECOM-
ING TOO ACTIVE.
Mayor Gibbcs Issues Statement
Wherein He states That Liquor Vi
O!atOrs Will BE PrOsecutcd-Rc-
cent supreme Court Decision of
Help To authorities Along This
Line.

Columbia, Aug. 1.-The locker"
or social clubs were all tightly clos
ed this morning. and will remain
closed until after the election, accord
ing To a story told this morning by
an employee of one of the clubs. Ac-
cording to this authority at a meet
ing of the proprietOrs of the several
score such clubs in Columbia, held in
the Virginia Club" over 1910 Main
street, the recent activity Of the po-
lice department In rading the clubs
was discussed. AS result the as
sembled proprietors adopted reso-
luton TO close all clubs and keep
them closed until after the election.
after which. in the event Governor
Blease is reelected. they would re-
open. If Judge Jones is elected it is
presumed they will remain closed.
Thus the lid is on good and tight
this morning. The patrons of the
clubs found the front doors closed
and locked, and there was nothing
doing" in the way of getting a drink.
Mayor w. III. Gibbes issued
statement this morning wherein he
said that he was going to close up the
locker" clubs. and that they must
go. The recent activity on the part
OF the city police in raiding these
clubs forecasted such a course on
the part of Mayor Gibbes and the CITY
administration, and it was noised
abroad on Saturday that the mayor
was going to use the mailed" fist in
bringing the clubs to order. Satur-
day night three of them were raided
and the proprietors fined $40 each
and bound over to the higher Court
under bonds of $500 each. for VIOLA
tion Of the dispensary law. Close on
the heels of this activity comes the
information by way of one Of the
club employees that they held a
meeting and decided to close up and
remain so until after the election.
Some say that the police activity
I'm raiding them is the cause of the
decision 10 close. That insetad of
lining them $40 apiece. as usual, the
sending of the proprietors up to the
higher Court charged with violation
of the dispensary law is what is be-
hind the decision 60 close up.
Mayor Gibbes based his action on
recent decision ot the supreme Court
IN tho case ot the STAGE vs. Ed Wcot-
cn. wherein tla supp eme Court af-
iirmed Il sentence of Wooten to the
chain gang on the charge of stor-
ing liquor. the case having come up
from Spartanburg County. With this
decision coming down last week the
locker clubs proprietors are now
being sent up To the Court of General
Sessions, charged with storing liquor.
Mayor Gibbes declares that the city
administration will stamp out this il
licit whiskey traffic.
The street talk is to the effect that
the club proprictors decided To close
up in an effort to induce their pa
irons to vote for Cole l.. Blease for
Governor. OF course. there is no
way To ascertain the real fac,s i'm the
situation.

it is serious question now whether
he can retain his seat.
The majority report on the case re-

In a long and angulshed letter to

OF the governor Of New Jersey:
''The whole trouble with Professor
Wilson Is that he Is not a Democrat

the past can be remedIed.
TO be truly Democratic Governor
Wilson should have run as n munich

In 1906 Governor Wilson should hays
spent $250OOO organizing an Independ

In 1907 Governor Wilson should have

In 1903 Governor Wilson should have

In 1909 Governor Wilson should have
run as an independent candidate fol

In 1910 Governor Wilson should hav,
