LAGER Beer.
Jesh Dillings' 1xpesssaes With tho Sum.
meg Beverage.

lager beer as beverage is not intoxicating
believe 10 the full extent of my ability
| never drank but three glasses of lager in
my life, and that made my he'd twist as tho
it Was hung on the end Of a string, but i
was told that it was my bile being out of
place; and guess that it was SO, for never
billed over wus than did when got home
that mite. My wife ,hot was going 10 die,
and was afraid that shouldn't. for it
seemed as tho everything had ever eaten
in my life was cumn,in TO the surface, and
believe that il my wife hadn't pulled off
my boots jus: as she did, they would have
come laundering too.
Oh, how sick wuz! Fourteen years
ago. ant can taste i, now.
never had so much experience In SO
short time.
If any mar shud tell me that lager beer
wuz not Intoxicating, i should believe him !;
but If he shud tell Inc that ! wasn't drunk
that mite, but that my stumick was out ot
order, shud ask him TO state over few
words, jest how man felt snd acted when
he was set up.
If wnrn't drunk that mite, had sum ov
the most natural simtums that man ever
bad and kept sober.
In the first place, it WAS about eighty rods
from where drank the lager beer to mi
house, and wuz jest two hours on the road,
and had hole bursted through each ov mi
psnlaloon ncez, and didn't hav any lat, and
tried TO open the door by the bell pull, and
hiccuppcd awfully, and saw everything in
the room trying to get around on the bs.ck
side Nv me, and in sitting down on chair i
did not wait long enough for it to get
exactly under the " lien it wuz going round,
and set down little too soon, and missed
the chair about twelve inches, and couldn't
get up soon enough TO take the next one
that came along. And that sinr swl; my
wife said wuz drunk as beast.
II lager beer is not intoxicating, it used
me most almighty mean, tina; know.
Still / hardly think that lager beer 10
Intoxicating, for have been told 50; and
nm probably the only man liv,n who ever
drunk any when his liver was not plumb.
l don't to say anything against harmless
temperance beverage, but if ever drink
emmy more, it will be with my hands tied
behind me and mi mouth pried open.
l don't think lager beer IL Intoxicating.
but If rcmcmhcr rite, think il tastes TO
ine like glass Of soap>suds that Q pickle
had been put tew soak in.

his dirty spslpccns Of Spsnisrds set foot
upon the free born soil, South Carolina had
been discovered by the Irish. Our authority
for this startling discovery is Congressman
