Pretty Daughters
Letter from North Carolina
1t is not so easy to buy Illicit whisky as
one might imagine. This is the way it is
often done: The purchaser puts his jug or
bottle in the hollow or stump of a certain
tree with the price of the liquor. Return
ing the next day he finds the jug filled and
the money gone. There is also what is called
the thorn racket" Alongside the road is
hung big horn, attached to the limb of a
tree by string II you want TO buy the
