\ NEW SCHEME
How the Tigers Get Their Supply of
Liquor in Greensboro.

1t is said that the darkey is an imi-
tatOr. not an originator. Maybe, but
no all of them. On account of the
Tanti-jug law, liquor cannot be shipped
from any place in the state into pro-
hlbltion territory. For instance.
Greensboro cannot order it from Reds
Vile, Winston and other North Caro-
lima towns, but a mar can go after it
and bring it back with him. This.
however, is expensive where much of
it is required, so some of the larger
blind tigers, SO the officers say. now
buy it in big lots in Reidsville, have it
shipped by freight to Danville and
from Danvlle it is shipped to Green's
boro. One mai the other day bought
two barrels of pints and two of half
pints, securely packed in hay in flour
barrels. Danvilie being outside of the
state. the jug law does not apply
Yet, why should these fellows do
this? They can order it from other
Virginia points and get it as cheap
and as quickly. But maybe they are
Ssatriotic and want to keep the money
