If she had been happily married i'm her

three or four children, she possessed all

CRUSADE IN sTATEsBoRo.
Blind Tiger Proprietors Waited on
and Told to Quit.

Statesboro, Ca, April 5.-Mr Saffold,
white man, of Screven county. was in
Statesboro last night. and became intox-
icated, after which he was arrested for
disorderly conduct. He was given hear
ing this morning and was released on the
payment of $40. This stirred up the diff
ferent denominations of the churches and
a large majority of the citizens they say
ing that the beer or liquor that Mr.. SAT-
Sold became intoxicated with came from
blind tigers" on the outskirts of the
town. A plan to have these shops closed
has been agitated for some time, and the
fact that Mr.. Saffold was drunk and dis
orderly on the streets has fastened the
cause, so, at ? o'clock this afternoon there
was a meeting called for the purpose of
asking the proprietors of these shops 90
close their doors. There was about on,
hundred in number at the meeting,
most all of which organized and marched
to these so-called blind tigers" The first
shop proprietor fled on his wheel he hav-
ing been told beforehand, that an army
of men were soon to call on him, and he
not wanting to face the crowd made good
his escape. From there they called on an
other This man was at his post and
agreed to close his door. If either of these
shops are found open. it is said, that
there win be an injunction applied for to
enjoin them from doing any more bust
ress, but it is thought that there will be
no more trouble on this line.

LIQUOR SPIES THRAsHED.

Orlando Star:-J. w. McCranney and ].
]. Daniels, the two spies who were sent
here to ferret out the Illicit selling of H.
quor, on account of a mistake on their
part, were the recipients of a well-mer-
tied thrashing on our streets yesterday
evening at the hands of Messrs. David
and Oscar Hancock In the old three
story building known as the Kuhl block,
on Pine street, is where the Hancock
boys hold forth and make their secret
preparation of liquid sulphur. Everything
is done with closed doors and the win
dows are frosted, which caused the spies
to place suspicion on the premises. Yes
terday about noon they entered the prem
Uses and asked a colored man present to
sell them some whisky, and when he in
formed them that they were not in the
business they made a search of the prem
ises and retired in good order. But when
David and Oscar returned the negro re-
ported what had happened to them, and
they went on the warpath and found the
spies on Pine street, and administered
the flogging as above stated to the
queens taste and to the satisfaction of
every one in this city who does not ap-
prove of strangers coming here with
seeming license to ransack the private
premises of citizens.
