POLICE COURT YESTERDAY,
CHARGED WITH VIOLATING THE
PROHIBITION LAW.

Following out the recommendation
Of the recent Glynn county grand jury
that blind tigers existed in many sec
tions of Brunswick, the police depart
ment started on a raid late Monday
night, and before they completed the
work seven negroes had been arrest
ed, all charged with selling whisky.
All the negroes were up in police
court yesterday morning, but the
cases against six Of them were not
tried, as they had engaged counsel
and continuance was requested,
which was granted by the mayor. Only
one offender was tried, Gilbert Baker,
who was convicted and fine of $3.50
or sixty days on the chaingang was
imposed. The ether negroes who were
arrested and who will be tried later
are: S. P. Boykin, Newton Miller, Dol
phus Mack, D. B. Pyles, Tom Parker

The police claim that they have pos
tive evidence that all of the negroes
have been conducting well regulated
blind tigers for some time.

the rate of about three-fourths Of an

GHoUNDEOG WILL MAKE
HIS APPEARANCE TODAY
Tradition Says If Animal Sees His
Shadow We viii Have Early Spring.

Today is the day on which the
grounding will decide the meteorolog-
ical conditions for six weeks to come,
if the cid superstitions surrounding
Candlemas Day are to be accepted at
their face value. Uncle Sans weath-
er sharps over the country, however,
cast many and severe reflections on
their prophetic rival, asserting that
for the last three years the grounding
has been all off in his prognc stica-
tions.
The introduction of the grounding
into the traditions surrounding the I'd
of February Is an American innova-
ton, and is said to have originated
with the negro superstitions of "old
Nirginny."
According to their stories, Il Y
grounding awakens from a long slees
ard comes out February 2 to see if
the winter is over. If the day is clear
and bright 50 that the sun throws a
shadow on the ground the grounding
takes fright and returns to his hole
for six weeks more. If 1t Is cloudy
day, however, he remains out over
night ard as a consequence warm
weather commences Immediately and
the farmers prepare for an early
spring.
