A sensation was created last night
shortly before ten o'clock when four
"clubs" were raided simultaneously
by the police deartmenu, resulting
in "a arrests and the seizures of a
large quantity of beer and whiskey.
After the dust had cleared an ex-
animation of the police court docket
showed the largest aggregate bond
ever put up in this city as the result
of raid. This bond amounted to
approximately $4,000, $1,000 of which
was put up by Tom Harrison, for
himself and many of those arrested
in the Hundred Thousand club. The
places raided were the Hundred
Thousand club, on East Washington
the Athletic and Physical Culture
clubs, on South Main, the Olympia on
Laurens street and the Saluda on
w. Washington, near the Southern
depot.
Among Those Arrested.
Those arrested at the several clubs,
exclusive of the men accused of
gambling and the amount of bond
put up in each case were as follows
Tom Harrison, $1,000; w. j. Good
lett, $500; Belt Powell, $1OO; Jones
negroes arrested at the several clubs
$500; and H. E. Batson, $500. The
Blakely 5000; w. B. Jones, $500;
John Walker, $500; John McTindal,
against whom charges were also pre-
ferred were: Jim Booker, 5000;
Jesse Booker. $500; Chas. Williams,
$500; Lee Willis, $500; Yancy Les
ter $500 and Freeman Gambrell $500.
The large amount of these individ-
ual bonds is accounted for by the fact
that several charges were made
against the men, and bond required
in each case. Tom Harrison, as was
stated, gave bond for the majority of
those arrested in the Hundred Thou
sand club.
Raid Carefully Planned.
This systematic raid was carefully
planned by the police department and
executed with splendid success, as the
results will show At the Hundred
Thousand, gambling game was
raided and ten arrests made. Sew
eral of those engaged in the play, or
looking on, escaped through the
doors before the police could prevent.
Bond in the case of each man arrest
ed was 500 and in each case was
put up.

GREENKILLE AND SPARTANBURG
"SOCIAL CLUBS" ARE HIT HARD
SENATE DEBATES
COMPULSORY BILL
Senator Strait Attacks Educational Il
System and Says This Country is
Following in the Footsteps of
Rome-High License Bill on Third
Reading.

Columbia, Feb. 19.-Debate on the
local option compulsory education
bill occupied large part of the time
of the senate this morning. Senator
Lawson wanted to substitute the
measure already passed by the house
and Senator Werner moved to strike
out the enacting words. In opposing
the bill, Senator Strait made a bit
ter attack on the whole educational
system, denouncing the following OF
Commercial gods, and the concen-
tration of education. He paid his re-
spects to educated fools" and pre-
dicted that the United States would
follow the fate of Rome if the COM
mercialism continued. He bitterly
opposed the compulsory idea and said
it was undemocratic.
Other senators favored the bill and
finally it was made special order of
tomorrow at II a. m.
High License Bill.
The bill giving Charleston high Ii
cense went to third reading, but not
without a protest from Senator
Crouch, who gave notice that he was
going to do everything he could to kill
it. The argument of Senator Sinklel
succeeded in getting the bill advanc
ed.
No action has yet been taken on
the matter of final adjournment. The
idea now seems to be to pass the ap-
preparation bill and recess from Fri.
day until next week and then CONF
back and take final action on those
parts which the governor may veto.
1t looks now as if the two-cent
rate bill will be left on the calendar.
It's opponents are alive to any sug-
gestion to bring it up and always
succeed in getting in,ahead with some
other measure, which blocked the rate
bill.
Veto is Overridden.
The governor vetoed the joint res
olution providing for payment of sal
ary for last year to R. H. Mitchell,
w. /. Jones and Jas. H. Harris as the
board of supervisors of registration
for York county. Senator Hall ex-
planned the matter, and the senate
overrode the veto, 81 to O. On this
measure no vote was cast to sus-
tain the veto.
The Nicholson bill to tighten up the
primary laws came up again tonight
and caused another extended debate.
The Clifton amendment was rejected,
20 to II. Another amendment by the
Sumter senator was rejected, % to
10. A motion to adjourn was voted
down, and the senate finally contin-
ued the bill until January ID, 1914.
The house bill providing a one mill
levy for the free public schools was
reported favorably with amendments.

and slipping him out Of the Office and
to the river bank they crossed to the
island in the steel cage and thence
to the Newberry side. There was h
great deal of excitement in the camp
and danger of Hensinger being lynch
ed. The deputy told his man tha,
he had no right to bring him without
his consent, and he replied that he
would go readily anywhere to get out
of that place.
Mr.. Berley made the trip down to
the river in an hour 1t took some
time to get across the river back and
forth, and he spent some time on
the other side, and got back to town
about midnight.
The facts in the case of the Parr
Shoals trouble, as far as could be as
certained from Hensinger, are about
as follows: Sunday at midday Hen
singer had row with one of the
white laborer, foreigner whose
name he does not know. He got the
best of the fight, and the man said he
was satisfied. But at night, when
Hensinger was sitting at the supper
table, the laborer came up behind him
and struck him singing blow on
the side of the face. Hensinger
jumped to his feet and drew his pis-
tol and fired two shots; one of them
killed his assailant and the other pen
etrated the lungs of bystander, pro-
ducing what is Supposed to be NOR
tai wound. Fearing more trouble, and
knowing that the two policemen of
the incorporated camp would be help
less against large mob, officers tel
ephoned to the sheriff of Newberry.
The killing was on the Fairfield side
but it was thought help could come
quicker from this side.
Yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff
Berley wired to the sheriff of Fair
field telling him that the man who dio
the killing was in Jail here. Hensin-
ger is a man of pleasant and intel
ligent appearance and good address
He says he lives in Chattanooga,
