Spectacular Blind
Tiger Raid.

In after years we will look back
Oh the record that is being made
in the matter of the whiskey traf-
fic, and we print the following &C.
count Of a blind tiger raid from
Sundays Macon Telegraph:
"Eighteen men from every Sec
ton of Bibb County, from Cold
Neck to Cross Keys, and from
Howard District to the Twiggs
County line, were found ON the
second floor of O'Connells restau-
rsnt.and soft drinkery on Poplar
street yesterday.
According to the statements
made, Chief Westcott, who with
fifteen officers, made the unexpect-
ed discovery, these men were con-
grcgated for various reasons, ex-
cept two who will probably not be
in condition to make anything
like a coherent statement until
this morning, for the reason that
they were stretched out the
floor dead drunk,
Among those found in the room
were three negroes.
Two other men, G. O'Connelt
and w. Il. Lester, were also on
this floor but they were the prin-
cipals while the others were wit
llesses in one of the most spectacu
lar raids ON an alleged blind tigers
yet made by the policedepartment.
The principals were released on
bonds of $500 each and the wit
nesses 5000 each.
On Friday afternoon Chief West
colt received information that if
he would send Il squad Of men to
O'Connrlps he might make a big
haul but accommodating trip did
not verify the information.
Yesterday afternoon about $3.50
O'Clock the chief received infOrma-
ton of similar character but
from another source that the up
stairs portion Of O'Connell's was
filled with men who were drinking
and that immediate action would
result in the capture of the entire
lot.
Chief Westcett gathered togeth-
Ell the officers who were just ar
irving at the hall preparatory to
going OH duty at 4 o'clock. To
these he added the detectives and
then with Lieut. Grace the detach-
ment moved rapidly down the
street.

squad divided, Chief Westcott

A paper three times week is
hardly worth three times as much
as weekly publication of the same
character, but paper published
til rec times a week is worth fully
half as much as a paper published
six times a week Or a daily.
Figuring either way the Enter

Fence Or No Fence.

| June 81, 1908.
Editor of "Enterprise:"
| am sure that the letter which
appeared in your paper on the sub
Iject of s'No Fence Law" was writ
Ten by Mr.. Wilcox without due
reflection; and while / have taken
no part in the election, even to
canyassing single voter, / feel it
incumbent on myself to try to al
just in some measure, what would
a calamity should the law fail to
carry. ...4
Such law would he a benefit to
all farmers, tenants or yOemen, by
making it possible for them to cul
tivate every acre of available land,
which at present they are unable
to afford to fence, such law
would probably reduce the number
of stock, but it would be replaced
by higher grade.
It is difficult to estimate just
how much the farmers would bene-
fit by such an improvement in his
stock, as it is a notorious fact that
nearly all cattle and hogs on our
ranges are degenerates. Hered-.
fords would take the place for beef
cattle, which can be made to dress
1000 pounds at two years, while
Berkshire or any standard breed of
hogs would dress more at six
months than the razor back at six
years.
Such d law would benefit the
land owner and the state by reduc-
ing the forest fires, which costs I'M
told millions annually by the de-
struction of young timber, these
fires being started by people who
keep a few So. 90 COWS, and III con-
sequence distroy by fire each year,
over $1,000 for every COW they own.
| Such a law would benefit the
sportsman from the fact that fires
would be diminished. which is the
chief cause of the obstruction OF
quails eggs and young, and half
that escape fall victems to the IA
zOr- back.
The difficulties surrounding fen.
cling would appear to have pre-
scented itself to all farmers and land
owners, while a rail fence is the
cheapest and most durable, but
even where they have timber it
has become a menace on account
of fire, a lumber and post fence
rot in about three years if it sur
wives the fire, my experiences with
wire is not much better, for after
9he fire has gone thro it, the lead
burns off, and the wire rusts, the
tension caused by the cold, snaps
the wire, apart from the prohibit

cutting off exit by front and rear.
On their arrival up stairs they
found the crowd and evidence in
the way of partly filled bottles
that at some time whether ON the
present or ON some previoun oc-
casion some drinking had been
done.
Forming the twenty men in a
line the march was made for the
station house. A large crowd had
gathered On the street by this
time, the hurried trip of the offic
ers to the place having attracted
considerable attention. The thur
ty.six men-one more than the
average military company, march
ing on the sidewalk, headed by
the chief of police, presentee an
unusuas sight, and caused a crowd
to follow and then to congregate
about the hall.
The men we're placed in the cor
ridors of the prison and their
bonds made one at a time until all
were free to go but to be present at
the Recorders Court tomorrow
morning.
When the raid Oh the place was
made, the officers gathered up the
remnants of the feast which con-
sisted principally of half and part
ly filled bottles and carried them
to the hall with them.
After the men were safely cared
for, the patrol wagon was sent to
the place and an old fashioned Sar-
atoga trunk, contents unknown
but believed to be liquor, was tax
en- and carried to the station house.
Then key was found and the
trunk was opened, revealing to the
gaze about sixty quarts of a well
known brand of whiskey. The
trunk was relocked, and the key
put in possession of Chief West
colt who pasted strip of paper
over the keyhole thus sealing it up.
Two charges were wade against
O'Conncll, one for running a blind
tiger in violation of the city ordi-
nance and for violation of the pro-
hibition law. Similar charges
were made against w. i. Lester.
The hearing will probably take
place tomorrow morning before

Cattle and hogs break into fields,
rarely out of a pasture, even where
the fence is poor, unless there is a
growing crop Immediately on tide
other side Of the fench, in conse-
quence a pasture fence is much
cheaper to build.
Mr.. Wilcox makes a plea for
people who don't own land, any
body who is so sorry as to "refuse"
to own land when it can be got
for little more than a dollar an
acre, and can be paid for in any
old way, even worked out, is IN.
worthy,of Mr.. Wilcox's consider
alton, aud the way industrious
farmers are discouraged by these
sorry neighbors, feeding their scrub
stock at the expence of his thrift,
is monstrous.
Then it is said the townspeople
should not vote, yet the towns
people own thousands acres of this
land, and further pay pound
master $500 a year to protect their
city from this county stock, if any
change in the law is necessary
why not confine it to the freehold
ers they apper to be the most vital
ly interested.
In reference to adjoining coun
ties, if they delay progress in de-
ference to each other we can never
benefit by this law, but even Mr..
WilcOx|s statement is not a fact,
for in similar instances this feature
has been easily adjusted, but gran
ting this to be q fact, Mr. Wilcox
seems to have lost sight of the
burning injustice right at our own
door, that of rustling stock into
the city and impounding it, being
turned over to a butcher and in
IDENTIFY last, the stock stolen in
this manner has been a greater loss
the farmers team would ever arsie
by county boundries.
[ am farmer controlling many
thousands acres of land, yet keep
my stock in pastures, and will
never permit them to iced in my
neighbors field even if it is the law.
There is one arguement in favor
of the no fence law and one that
ought to decide any doubling
mind, and that is no county which
has once adopted the law has ever
returned to the fence system.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is infamed, you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hea ing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
TANNED condition of the mucous sur
faces.

COTTON VOILES FOR
EVERYDAY WEAR
Pretty Designs of Cheap
Goods Makes Up Well.

NEW YORK, June 5.-Are women
sufficiently grateful for the invention
of the cheap cotton wolfe?
There is no time to take a canvass,
so it is hard to tell They should be
filled with gratitude, for it is a fabric
that supplies many a need and meets
a multitude of wants.
The weaving of it has been so per-
fected that even at small prices this
wolfe has the most attractive appear
ance. 1t is soft, silky, sheer and
delightfully."- cool.
1t has gone through all the dyes
necessary to fit it for a fashionable
fabric. In this respect it has no sup
erior, not even in satin crepe de
chine, which seems to have done it's
best this year.
Cotton voile when it first appeared
did not strike the popular fancy as
it should Women who didn't know
passed it by for cheap taffeta when
they wanted an everyday shirtwaist
suit. 1t was not until the second sea-
son they chose the other material
You can do almost anything with
this fabric this season. 1t ranges in
the neighborhoOd of % cents a yard,
and is wide enough to cut by any pat
tern to advantage In the faint col
ors, trimmed with lace and a little
soutache, it can be worn with quite
an air for afternoon and evening oc-
casions. In substantial colors and not
burdened with lace it makes the best
train frOck, office fTOck and one for
general wear in dusty, hot weather.
1t is a joyful fact that it does not
need lining. There is something about
this climate that is made distinctly
worse by a lining in a frock. A Wo-
man feels a sense of relief in even
touching fabric that bears that mag
ic explanation; it doesn't have to be
lined
There is a design in it of gray.

1t is best to prepare for the stocks
by making two loops of twisted silk
