RAID ON TIGERS. Qenrral Round-tp at Bummertou? IVo ParaoJU in the Ihutch. S jii,in. i tun. Sept. 17??-There has bfen "Weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth" among the blind tigers of this community. For some long time past they have waxed fat by reason of their trade. But the day of reckoning has come, and the whole crew are sadder and wiser men us a result. Some days ago the intendant. ii. A. Tisdale, sought the services of a detective agency of this State that has been particularly successful in following the trail of the tiger. Two operators were sent here and quiet? ly set to work. The tigers had be? come so numerous and so bold that It was mere child's play to find them out. On yesterday warrants were is? sued for a full dozen offenders, all aegroes. They were given a hear? ing before Intendant Tisdale and heavy tines were imposed in most caiee. Among those arrested were some of Summerton's best known ne? groes including two licensed "preach? ers." The situation had become scandalous, and the thanks of the whole community Is extended to the authorities for their efforts to break up the illegal selling of whiskey. The planters about here Und the utmost difficulty In getlng hands to pick their cotton, partly due to the fact that whiskey waj freelj .-<>id and freely bought by the negro men, whose services are needed in the fields. Fines to the amount of about $100 were collected at the trials, there being a conviction in all cases, With <>tie appeal. ;EXTERNAL explosion t At si:i> WRECK.
