Orangeburg times. [volume] (Orangeburg Court House [S.C.]) 1877-1881, 1881-01-20

In our local strolls few days ngo,
stopping ut the store Of Mr.. Z. G.
Cannon, we were shown n piece of n
glass bottle taken out of the stomach
of an alligator captured by Mr.
Lewis Evans, on Four Holes, some
time IN the Fall. The. glass was
rubbed smooth even the edge being
rounded from ware, showing that i,
must have been swallowed by the a'li
gator many years back.
In connection with this we are told
that before the war, when our people
were accustomed ut stated periods to
assemble for muster and picnic on
Fcldcrs old field, good and faithful
old colored man, who always attend
ed on such occasions but who was
unfortunately, like some of our Con
grcssmcn, too fond ofhis bottle, was,
after one of these gala days, found
missing.
A diligcnt search was made for
him, and after severa! days, his bag
and fishing cane were found on the
edge Of the run of Four Holes.
1t was in this vicinity that the al-
ligator was captured with the piece
Of glass bottle to which we have re-
tcrrcd, inside OF him. 1t is unlikely
that he alligator would have swal
lowed the bottle alone, either for its
own sake, or for the sake of what it
contained. Who knows then but
that this alligator swallowed the
man, whiskey bottle and all, while
the poor fellow was lying at the wa,
ters' edge in state of incbrintion.
We do not vouch for the story, but
only give it for what it is worth, hop
ing that each reader will take it with
the necessary grains of allowance.
The two parts of the story, when
taken separately are said to he strict
ly correct, but when taken as a whole,
there may be some slight room for
discussion.
