THE BLIND TIGERS.

Constable Scoggins has been about
Yorkville for several days this week
looking after his duties relating to the
enforcement of the dispensary law.
The reporter had talk with him with
regard to the status of matters gener-
ally.
While it is fact that there is still a
great deal of blind tiger whisky sold
in and around Yorkville, and while it
is fact also that with sufficient per-
severence, any individual who has the
cash can raise a pint of blind tiger
liuuor upon almost any occasion, it is
also a fact that the traffic is not nearly
so extensive as it was few years back.
This condition is owing partly to the
fact that the demand is less than it
used to be-there being fewer thirsty
people-and partly to the fact that the
tigers have learned to be more eau.
tious. The reporter is not to be un-
, derstood as. saying that the illicit
whisky traffic has been entirely sup
pressed, nor that there are not still
to be found occasional instances of ex-
cessive drinking; but it is fact that
the Improvement in the observance of
the law is quite noticeable.
Constable Scoggips gets pretty gen.
eral credit for being a very efficient Of
ficer-the most efficient probably who
has ever been located in this county.
He has help about Yorkville, good
help; but that does not detract in the
least from his efficiency. In conversa-
tion with the reporter, he said:
at used to be the habit of the blind
tigers to 20 up to the still house during
the day and return shortly after night
fall. I began watching the road tor
them until broke the habit up, and
they changed their schedule so as to
bring them back into Yorkville during
the early hours of the morning. l
met this change also, and now they ar
range it so as to make the entire trip
in the daytime-that is, those who
make it business to bring their liquor
through the country. 1 have been
watching these until I have gotten
pretty nearly all the tigers spotted,
and some of them have reason to be
scared"
"But it is not only the highways
that have to be watched. One of the
most constant and regular sources OF
supply is the express Offices. 1t is
more difficult to spot tiger here than
on the road. Of course, there is no
doubt about the fact that about Is
per cent of the liquor that comes here
by express is for tiger purposes but
the tigers are cautious. For instance,
two or three of them will get together
and make an order for several gallons
in the name of one. Then, after
awhile, they will make another order
in the name of another, and then
make new combinations and continue
the process. 1t is easy enough to sus-
pect what liquor is for tiger purposes
and what is for personal use but the
difficulty comes in proving it. But
this will come after awhile. / don't
mind telling you what have told al
ready, but there are something's you
know that are better when one keeps
them to himself"
At the same rate of progress that
has been made during the past three
or four years, in three or four years
more, Yorkville will indeed be pref
ty dry town.

The Catawba Mine.
Kings Mountain Reformer: This
vicinity will regret to learn that all
the pumps at the Catawba mine have
been drawn and the active work shut
down. We are informed that for some
time now, as soon as the weather per,
mits, there will be some prospecting
done with a diamond drill at or near
the old Richardson shaft, and we hope
the company will be successful in fud-
ing sutticiency of ore TO justify a re-
turn to active operations. Little as
some people may think of it, this shut
off will Inconvenience a goodly num-
ber of hands and make it hard for
them to earn their daily bread.
The Actual Facts.
The ENQUIRER has heard during
the past few days several alarming re-
ports about the condition of the Char
lotte road. One of them was to the effect
that as the result of the recent snow,
the clay bed had become saturated
with water and rendered soft and
slushy, and that the macadam work
was cutting through under heavy wag
ons. We have had no opportunity &c
make IA personal investigation; bu
have made careful inquiries of reponsi
bic parties, and it seems that the situa
lion just described is very much exag
yerated. There has been some cutting
