Y. M. C. A. Membership Rally.
The board ot directors of the Y. M.
C. A. at a recent meeting decided up?
on a membership rally to ho held
di.rlng the first week in November.
< ?n Sunday evening, November the
second, a mass meeting will be held.
At this meeting some out of town
speakers of distinction will deliver
an address and during tho week fOV |
lowing an active and aggressive cam-1
pnign will bo inaugurated and will
be pushed until the dsjgtfed end is ac
I oinpiisbed.
The ministers of the city will be
requested to dispense with their even?
ing service, in order that everyone
may be privileged to attend the mass
meeting on Sumlnv evening tit eight
o'clock.
The Y. M. (\ A. is unquestionably
a good thing for Sumter, as it Is for
iinv city. It matters not whetlvr one
may or may not reap a direct benelit,
the Indirect benefit accruing from an
organization of this sort in any com?
munity makes the investment of a
membership fee yield a very handsome
dividend. The Y. M. C A. is not a
business organisation for the purpose
of a, luring an annual flnancal divi?
dend to Its stoc kholders; but it is an
organisation that confers ? real and
Jasting lienelll upon every one who
agsjjgg within the pale of its Influence.
It is clearly the duty of every citl
sen who loves his community to

THE CAPPTCRE OF CONVICT,
Mix Williams Hun Down by Police?
man Lawrence.
The capture of Alex Williams Fri?
day afterootl was a matter of foot?
race between the running darkey and
Policeman J. M. Lawrence, the officer
winning in tin; race which meant
liberty to Williams if he won and the
possibility of a reward to Policeman

When Chief Sumter, Sergeant Har?
wick and Policeman Lawrence with
a colored constable from Clarendon
County approached the place where
Williams was hiding he saw them and
"lit out," as the expression says. Shots
were fired at him by the officers to
make him stop, but they seemed to
have no effect and Officer Lawrence
was runnng after him by this time.
The chase led for a couple of blocks,
When the officer proved himself the
fleeter footed of the two men, catch?
ing up with the negro and handcuf?
fing hinj before the other olhcers ar?
rived on the scene.
Williams is wanted in Clarendon I
County, where he escaped from the
gang and where a reward is offered
for his capture. He will be returned j
there, as soon as the local authorities
are through with him. A charge of
burglary has been placed against him
here and a preliminary was given
him Saturday.

Alex Williams, the escaped con?
vict from the Clarendon County
?hangang who was captured by the
