Rock Hill Record. January II: Sew
eral weeks ago two quiet, clean
looking men came into Rock Hill, os-
tensibly on a hunt for work. AS a
matter Of fact, they did get work in
one Of the local cotton mills. While
they did their work well, they really
were not mill hands, but were two
detectives assigned to Rock Hill by
the Hubbard Detective agency of
Meridian, Miss, and were sent here
at the request Of two well known To-
cal pastors, who had made up their
minds to have a roundup Of the
blind tigers" IL such thing was pos
sible. It has long been a notorious
fact that liquor is being Illegally sold
In Rock Hill; but the "blind tigers
were generally supposed to be con-
fined to the lower class Of negroes.
The local policemen have been very
successful in capturing the negro vio-
lators Of the dispensary law. These
two Mississippi detectives, however,
became convinced that white men in
a large number were selling whisky,
and they laid their traps so we'll that
the following white men were arrest
ed and tried before Recorder Craig
Saturday morning: C. A. Fincher,
fined 500 or thirty days; o. L. Potts,
two charges, fined 500 or thirty days
on each charge; Jim Hammond, four
charges. AS he plead guilty he was
fined only $50 or thirty days on each
charge; A. J. Ballard, first offense,
fined $50 or thirty days A similar
charge was held against C. B. Black,
but he did not appear and he for
feited a 500 bond. All Of the above
men are white. Then there were two
negroes caught in the dragnet, who
were fined 500. paid the money and
walked out. The result of this raid
was to increase the cash In the city
treasury to the extent Of $785, pro-
vided the prisoners did not take the
road sentence. This morning Record
er Craig held another session with
the blind tigers" before an appre-
ciative audience C. A. Fincher, who
was convicted on Saturday, was up
again this morning on another charge.
He was convicted and fined 800 or
thirty days. Will Everly, a negro,
forfeited a $50 bond. o. L. Potts,
who plead guilty to four additional
charges this morning, was given $25
or thirty days on each charge this
afternoon. Ell Mothershed, who was
arrested today at noon, asked to be
given until o'clock to secure a
