THE PEOPLE HAVE R|z|
And Blind Tiger Vendors Are In
Limbo-About One Dozen
Have Been Captured.

There was quiet meeting attend
ed by perhaps dozen citizens last
Monday morning, at which it was de-
termined to 60 after the defiant blind
tigers in Grenada. These poor unSee-
ing (?) creatures had been SO long un-
molested-so many grand jurics had
convened and had not even disturbed
their dreams. Citizens had met a
number of times and resoluted about
them, but still their customers came
and went, and they had about con-
cluded that they were an important
part of the business arrangement Of
the town. At the meeting above re-
ferred to, three noble sons, inspired
with the spirit of the brave LeOnidas,
decided that they would make certain
affidavits and as a result two white
men and about ten negros were arrest
cd all of whom, with one exception,
will be tried today Saturday.. One
negro has already been tried before
Mayor Adams and fine of 800. 90
and a sentence Of sixty days in Jail
imposed.
One race, that beat anything that
has occurred at the Fair grounds this
week. could have been seen few mo-
ments after Sheriff Crowder and Mar
shall Gerard arrested Carl Lamb, one
OF the keepers OF the statuary(?) of
Marble Hall. Lamb concluded that he
would prefer to run rather than face
Mayor Adams court, SO he left un-
tremendously at a cannOn-ball rate.
The trials of these men are going to
be watched with much interest. The
prosecution will be represented by
VIM. c. Mclean, Roane & Roane and
S. A. Morrison.

Blind tigers are the originators of
ninety-five per cent OF all the crime
committed in this county and the rec
ords will prove that every murderer
has first tanked up on wild cat whis-
key before the demon in him would
rise to sufficient extent to cause him
to take human life. He is usually an
arrant coward that any school boy
could run out of town, but given two
or three drinks Of mean whiSkey he
becomes a fiend incarnate What we
need in SunflOwer county is hang
ing or two for murdererS and long
terms of imprisonment with hard Ia
Dor for the vendors of whiskey. Our
juriers will be charged with the wei.
fare and lives of four people and if they
will do their duty and give the law a
chance, crime will be leSsened and a
few murderers will be tightening
hemp. -Sunfiower TOcSin.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity Of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. 1t not only colds and
efTectualiy and permanently, but pre-
vents these diseases from resulting in
pneumonia. 1t is also 4 certain cure
for Group, Whooping cough is not
dangerous when this remedy is given
1t contains no opium or other harmful
substance and may be given as contid-
ently-to baby as to an adult. 1t is
also pleasant to take. When all OF
these facts are taken into conSidera-
tiOn it is not surprising that people in
foreign lands, as well as at home, eS-
TEEN this remedy very highly and
very few are willing to take any other
after having once used it. For sale by

The seventh annual Fair of the Gre
NADIA Fair Association opened WedneS-
day the 18th, and continued three
days. By special invitation Gov. Var
daman was present at the opening
and acted i'm the capacity of touching
the electric button and setting the
Fair In motion by making an interest
ing address.
The management have labored un-
der many disadvantages in arranging
for the fair this year. 1t was first
advertised to be held on the 11th,
18th and 18th, but owing to the quar-
antine this date had to be abandoned
and only little more than two weeks
ago was it known that any particular
date could be fixed. And even then,
the fact OF a possibility of renewed
quarantine restrictions hampered the
management very much. Thus un-
der these trying circumstances it was
somewhat difficult to enlist the full
support land interest OF the people
throughout the Fair district. The
officers of the association labor with
out fee or salary, but the result of the
Fair shows what persiStency and un-
firing effort will accomplish. The
crowds were much larger than antici-
pated and congratulations are being
extended on every hand on the splen-
did programs and the fine financial
success.
Owing to the short time which was
had to arrange for the Fair, the ex-
hibits were but few, but the races
were the best ever had and these it
were that delighted the crowd. There
were number of fine and fast horses
on the track which always create en-

The commerce of Grenada, except
1000 to O,00O bales of cotton ham

confined to this and surrounding conn-
ties, in which large business is done
in dry goods, groceries and notions.

brick, with a stately court house on
the west side. The college, in the
south part of the city, is a massive
building, and with its spacious cam.
pus, presents a handsome perspective.

MRS. HAWK ALSO HURT
Further Developments in Spring
Creek Shooting ARRAY.

A new chapter in the shooting af-
fray at Spring Creek in which John
Hawk punctured his neighbor, Edgar
Vests right ear, was developed Fri
day evening when the officers, armed
with warrant for Mrs. Hawk, found
that lady belfast from the injuries
received in the scrap of the morning.
She claimed to have received injuries
on the side by blow which rendered
her unable to leave her bed. The
woman will be brought for trial later.
Hawk was arraigned before Justice
Bacon in the afternoon and released
upon $4,000 bond, pending the pre-
liminary examination on Tuesday
next
West was held in Justice Prichett's
court on a warrant charging the theft
of the $4,000 over which the trouble
arose, and also upon a warrant charg-
ing assault with intent to commit
great bodily injury. Hawk has an
injured hand which received its
wound from some heavy, blunt piece
of metal with which it was struck.
According to authorities, indications
point to probability Of West having
had metal "knucks" which he used in
the scrap. He is held On bond of
$4,000.
