mond and buy whiskey and bring
1T into camp and have a regular
spree. The officers found it out
and placed a guard around the
camp. The first day they made
big haul and they had good
time at headquarters, and the old
soldiers went to bed thirsty. But
they plotted against Headquarters,
and the next day some of them
got passes and went to town and
bought loaf bread in large sheets
and took it to the grog shops and
punched a hole into each loaf.
and poured as much whiskey into
each loaf as it would soak I'M
and each loaf would take in near.
~ half pint. When they came
TO the guard they let them pass
with their bread. When they got
into camp they would set a large
pan on the ground, take a loaf of
bread in their hands and put their
hands between their knees and
press the whiskey out, or all that
would come out, and then they
would drink the whiskev and eat
the bread. So you see Just what
you have to contend with when
men want whiskey. DON'T let
the blind tigers get hold of this,
or they will be running a free
delivery bread wagon in a few
days, and you will have to have a
bread inspector.

Amusing Instances Where
Soldiers Obtained Whiskey
Under Great Obstacles.

81. r " in Newberry Observer.
There was one fellow in our
regiment who loved whiskey, but
he had no money to buy when he
found the whiskey. So he had TO
devise a plan to get the money or
get the wbiskey without the mon.
ey, and this is the plan he work
ed: He procured two bottles Just
alike; one he filled with water and
corked it tight; the other he kept
empty, but corked it tight too. -
He borrowed a large split tail
Yankee overcoat, with pockets
behind in the tail. He put one
bottle in each pocket and struck
out for suffers shop back in the
woods where they sold whiskey
on the sly. When he went in he
waited until he caught the suffers
eye, and gave him the sign. The
soldier managed to slip him his
empty bottle; the sutler bided his
time until he could fill it and slip
1T back to the soldier. When The
soldier had got the bottle in his
pocket he asked the sutler to
credit him till next pay day
"No, sir; you may be killed be.
fore that time. Give me back my
whiskey." So the soldier reluct.
antly put mis- hand back into his
pocket and drew out the bottle of
water andsshanded it over to the
sutler with the remark, GAS you
are so particular about YOUR old
Nhiskey, pour it out and give me
back my bottle" The sutler stuck
the bottle neck into his jug and
poured the water in, and the fell
low marched out with the bottle
of whiskey in his coat pocket.

Have a County Fair
Good Men Suggested as
Leaders.
The Kershaw Era.


The Eta comedies fully with
The LANCASTER News in its view
that Lancaster county should
have county fair. The same
Idea has impressed us frequently
heretofore and we are unable to
give any good reason why we
have not sooner urged it. There
are many reasons why county
taIr would be helpful, but the
following, submitted by the News.
are Sufficient of themselves TO
give all the encouragement need
ed to the enterprise.
"What a stimulus a county
fair would prove to be to even
better stock raising, better farm
ing and gardening, and better
poultry raising! But aside from
these manifest advantages, how
pleasant and profitable it would
be for the people. men, women
and children, to meet together
once year in friendly, social
intercourse"
We believe if few such men
as Col. Springs, w. Z. Gregory,
r. K. Wylie and j. @. Elliott of
Lancaster and E. d. Blakenev
j. I. Stevens, R. L. B.ackmon,
K. M. Estridge and others OF
kershaw would interest them
selves in it actively, a fair for
Lancaster county would be as
sured for the next year.
