Iondon police remain confident that he is
an American, as he speaks English much
better than English thieves of a similar

AN OLD ooNFEDRRATE's DEATH

The Man Who Made Palmetto But
tons and Whisky During the War.
From the Charleston Netcs and Courier.
Old Bernard D. Schur, who died in
this city few days ago. was al important
figure here in war times, when he made
knapsacks, brass buttons and cartridges
for the soldiers, and all the domestic whisky
and alcohol distilled in Charleston district.
Mr.. Schur told a reporter some months ago
that his box Of documents and letters, which
were full of interesting details, was
smashed up, with himself, IN the debris OF
his little cigar store in Broad street on the
night of the earthquake, but he had one
little book left which contains notices of
him and his work, clipped from the old
Courier and the Mercury.
At his factory Mr.. Schur employed a
number of men, several of whom are now
prominent jewellers In this city, and at
least forty small boys. Everybody went to
the war and consequently he could scarcely
meet the demand for palmetto buttons.
knapsacks and cartridges. His factory
was burned down once, but he soon reopened
it. and the Charleston Courier said his
motto was: "B. Schur you're right then
20 aheadm
MIR. Schur was of the opinion that neither
the quality nor quantity of jokes during
war times was remarkable, and the re-
porter concurred.
Under the act Of the legislature Of 1868
for the suppression Of undue distilation Of
LIQUORS in this state, Mr.. Schur was granted
by the government the sole right to manu-
facture whisky and alcohol In Charleston
district, and was authorized to distribute
only specified amounts TO hospitals, phys-
clans and apothecaries. He bad fifteen
stills running at one time, aud did a thriv-
ing business up TO the last days of the con-
federacy.
