authorities here have very little to say con-
corning Gov Tillmsn's proclaim alton an
nouncinR his intention to take charge Of the
police forco OF all the cities and towns Of tho
State. The proclamation made something OF
accusation. but was not unexpected In Official
circioa IL IL considered scarcely likely that
Gov. Tlllman's proclamation will In any event
affect the status OF the Police Department in
this city.
Under the judicious direction OF the Mayor
and Chief OF Police the state oonatables have
been fully protested and every necessary as
nistan ice given them In making their raids on
the blind tigers Whenever the Police DEPART
ment here has been notified OF their i1ten-
tions, 70 secure have they been In. making
their raids OF late and so devoid Of am show
or threat Of resistance have been those occa-
sions that the conatables had largely Rivon
oyer making reauistions for police escort.
Most ri their recent raids have been made
without the attendance OF the bluecoats. The
Police Department has PROMPTLY anticipated
and nippcd in the bud every threat or indica-
ton OF resistance. ,..
