FIRST GUN IN CIVIL WAR
WAS FIRED So YEARS AGO

The first shot in the war between
the States was fired IS years ago
January 8, 1861. ....
Immediately after it's secession, on
December 20, 1860, the State of
South Carolina demanded the evacu-
alton of the forts in Charleston har-
Dor While the negotiations between
the Federal government and the
State of South Carolina were going
on Major Anderson secretly trans
ferred his men and supplies from
Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumter. When
South Carolina demanded the evacu-
alton of Sumter President Buchanan
refused the demand, and sent the
steamer Star of the West with sup
plies and reinforcements for the fort.
Secret Plans Failed.
The President intended the expe-
dition to be a secret one, but it be-
came known at once to the South
Carolina authorities, and when, on
January 8, the steamer appeared, 1t
was fred upon and driven back
three months and two days before the
momentous April IL on which Beau
regard turned his mortars loose on
Sumter.
Throughout the three months in
question the negotiations went on,
not between the government of the
United States and the govern lent of
the. Confederate States, for Secretary
Seward would not recognize the lat
ter government, but between Secre-
tary Seward and Justices Nelson and
Campbell, of the Supreme Court, who
had consented to convey to the Con-
federate authorities such assurances
as the Secretary might see fit to inn
part to them.
Fires on Fort Sumter.
Justice Campbell declares that as
late as April Z Seward told him that
no attempt would be made to rein
force Sumter without giving notice
to Gov. Pickens. The next day, April
s. Beauregard was informed by the
Federal authorities that supplies
would be sent to Sumter, "peaceably
or otherwise by force" Upon re-
ceipt of that message Beaure gard, en-
the 18th, demanded the surrender of
the fort Major Anderson declined
to accept the summons, and at 4:30I
o'clock on the morning of the 18th
Beauregard opened fire.
The first shot drew no blood, and
strange to tell, the 34-hour rain OF
shot and shell upon Sumter took no
life, but in the fearful struggle that
those harmless shots precipitated /.
100000 men, many of them the finest |
that were ever born into the world, |

found the best medicine ever used
by anyone.
Even though not in need of such a
medicine at present, it will pay to
obtain a bottle now at half price, as
no doubt someone in the family will
require it before. the winter is over,
but you will not have another chance
of buying for less than full price.
One bottle makes a full pint OPS
teaspoonsfuD by simply mixing it at
home with one pint of graduated
sugar and one-half pint of water, and
makes a whole family supply, and as
much as would ordinarily cost from
50 to SO for the same quantity of the
ordinary, old-fashioned, ready-made
kinds of doubtful merit and also
without a guarantee, like this remedy.
1t is prepared from strictly harm
less plants and is so pleasant that
children like to take it and it can be
given them with perfect safety, as it
positively contains no chloroform
opium, morphine or any other mar
cotic, as do most cough mixtures.
Absolutely no risk whatever is run
in buying this remedy on the guar
antee of the above well-known, relia-
BILE druggists.
If a neighbOr or friend would take
and pay for half the bottle, the cost
of half pint of this excellent med
icine would only cost about IL cents.
