NIP ulLLdEu lht ANN" t<th
North Cardinals drastic prohibition
laws are being threatened seriously by
the new "pizen" invented by the sons
of Hyde county. 1t is a substitute for
corn liquor called Meal Beer" or rip
Gizzard," and is highly Intoxicating.
1t is said to have the far famed lick
err which makes jack--rabbit spit in
bulldogs eye looking like dose of
soothing syrup. The receipt calls for
a peck Of meal, 10 pounds of sugar
and two or three pounds Of dried
apples. Five gallons of water are adj
ded, and the connection is set back Of
the stove or in the sun to ferment. In
few days it has worked, and is then
drawn off ready for the consumer.
Negroes are making great quantities
of rip Gizzard" and one of them, re-
garded as an expert, offers the follow
ing method: One gallon Of meal to
two gallons Of water. Put on the stove
and boil. AS soon as the mixture
boils, add two pounds Of sugar. Pour
into a stone crock and let stand a week
by which time it will ferment. Add
two pounds of sugar and strain off.
This receipt doesn't require apples.
Other makers use dried peaches in
stead of apples, and others use mo-
Iasses. The Anti-Saloon league and
w c. Il. U. Of North Carolina are
making strenuous effort to stop the
traffic in this new Intoxicating liquor.
The mess is so cheap that many gal
Ions are being made, for private con-
sumption and for sale. RIP Gizzard"
bids fair to supplant every substitute
for liquor now being sold in North
Carolina.
