ALETHEIA CLUB
CHEST MEETING


Guest meeting of the Aletheia
club was held Saturday afternoon
in the American Legion Memorial
Building at one-thirty. AS the
guests arrived, they were seated
at small tables, attractively ar
ranged and decorated, using the
club colors of green and gold.
Green candles, white china and
crystal, on white table covers,
with favors of gold slipper nut
cups.
The color scheme was further
carried out in the maSsed bou
quets of Jonquils and forsythia
around the room, with white ruff
led curtains green tie-backs at
the windows, and the setting for
the program.
Following the dainty dessert,
the guests were welcomed by the
president, Mrs. John Craig. The
most clever feature of the affair
was a style show, planned by
Mrs. George Morelock and assist
ed by Mrs. John Baker Begin
ming with grandmother's styles,
the age of bustles and loop skirts,
then the first Gibson girl, and
flapper age, and the modern age,
history and origin of styles were
brought to life by the following
young ladies who modelled them:
Misses Beatrice Hopperton; Janet
Hardman, Clara McCracken, Con-
ME Wall, and Beth Linzinmier.
| The latter modelled the bridal
attire, which style with the veil
and orange blossoms, the sweet
heart neck line, and full sweep
ing train, has changed very little
through the years. The narrator
was Mrs. Warren Widner.
The remainder of the afternoon
was spent in playing bridge. The
committee on arrangements was
composed of Mrs. John Sharrer
chairman, Mrs. William Coleman
Mrs. Glen Grigsby, Mrs. Russell
Gronko and Mrs. Walter r. Otte
The guests included.

Farmers Committee
Named At Meeting

Clarence Harshman, Herm n
Stockslager and County Agent Mark
Miller last week were named as this
county's representatives on a com
mittee which will devote its efforts
to helping farmers of this four
state area by assisting them in the
solving of their many problems,
through the use of modern methods,
equipment and techniques.
The local men were named by
other farmers from this county who
attended last weeks Farmers
Meeting" in Hagerstown. Over 400
farmers from nearby parts of Mary
land, Pennsylvania, Virginia and
West Virginia, as well as from points
as distant as New Jersey, and Rich
mond, Va, were present to hear
spirited discussions of the habits,
control methods, etc, of the destru-
tive Japanese beetle and European
corn borer.
These topics were only two OF the
several on the all-day sessions pro-
gram.
1t is said by local farmers who at
tended the meeting that the new
committee will concentrate their eff
forts on arranging meetings such as
last weeks, the annual summer farm
tour, and any other projects of a
similar nature that may seem to
them to be desirable. They further
state that they will be glad TO re-
ceive suggestions from the farmers
of this county concerning farm prob
lens that might be taken up at flu
ture meetings.

time another group assembled in
Hagerstown. These were the Whis-
key Boys themselves and their sym
pathizers. 1t was an unorganized
mob but it grew to formidable pro-
portions. The mob soon began to
move to take revenge for personal
grudges.
John Thompson Mason made a
powerful speech to try to appease
the mob, and Colonel Sprigg, Col
onel Shryock and Major Price went
through the mob trying to reason
with the men, all to no avail. The
mob began erecting Liberty Poles"
one of them being placed in the
market house. This one was taken
down, but in its place appeared a
hand written notice addressed to
several prominent gentlemen, Sher-
if Adam OFT, Henry Shryock, Rez-
in Davis, William Lee, Benz. Clag-
gett, Nathaniel Rochester, and Jo-
siah Price, commanding them to
put up another Liberty Pole or suf-
fer death at the hands of the mob
This threat was 'Valiantly Des-
pissed" by these gentlemen. BY this
time, however, the general public
was aroused, and many folks armed
themselves, and stood guard on all
streets. General Bailey arrived with
a number of troops, and with Cap
tains Lee and Schnebley soon had
the disturbance quoted Once the
mob was broken up, the Whiskey
boys became very sober and meek,
and a great number of arrests were
made.
All through this instruction,
Sheriff Adam OFT had confined those
he found it necessary to arrest, in
his own house that stood on the
northeast corner of Franklin and
Potomac Streets. This was one of
the first houses to be built in Ha-
gerstown, and was torn down in
1870.
President Washington has been
credited with both firmness and wis
dom in quelling this insurrection
without bloodshed.

Post Office Urges
Use Of Metal Boxes
Postmaster Requests Rural Mail
Patrons To Replace Old Make
shift Boxes.

The Hagerstown Postmaster,
Thomas M. Simpson, urges all rural
delivery patrons who are at present
using makeshift mail boxes. to re-
place them with the approved metal
rural boxes as soon as possible.
During the war years the regula-
ton requiring the use of approved
boxes was not enforced, because
scarcity of material made it imprac-
ticable to obtain them. However,
since metal is again available for
this purpose and many rural box
manufacturers are now supplying
them in reasonable quantities, it is
hoped that those needing them will
put them up as soon as possible.
At the present time it is not in
tended to compel such requirements,
but the plan is to get the new boxes
up on a purely voluntary basis, and
it is hoped that the rural patrons
will cooperate with the Post Office
Department in their request.

Law. OF course they had their
sympathizers in Congress and in
every State Legislature. Agitators
were sent in all directions to try
to stir up more opposition.
These agitators took full advan-
tage of the widespread illiteracy of
those days. Many people in our
own County could not read, and
most of them had never even seen
a newspaper. So the Whiskey boys
just did what our politicians of to-
day do, only they did it in a
cruder way; they stretched the
truth. Some of our own people were
told that the government was tax
ing not only whiskey under the
new law, but also wheat and rye.
And at one place the story was cir
culating as truth, that in Pittsburg
even the children were taxed:
whether rich or poor, leach boy at
his birth fifteen shillings; and each
girl, ten"
There was a lull in this fight for
several years While troops were
raised to go to the frontier to fight
the Indians. But it was revived in
1894, locally by a battle in print in
the local newspaper, the Washing
ton Spy. First, someone wrote a
long letter to the editor, signed "a
Lover of Order" severely censuring
the whiskey rioters and justifying
the Excise law. OF course this was
like kicking sleeping dog. Back
came the answers, fast and strong.
They were ferocious and voluble.
One writer, who signed his little
piece Republican," ''deplores the
degeneracy of America, once the
home of the free, and calls upon
his Country in tragic tones to blush
for that degeneracy."
In one issue, "a Lover of the
Genuine Stuff made an assault upon
"a Lover of Order" and advised
him to double distill his article.
In the middle of this battle, the
Spy published the Presidents Proc
lamation warning the rioters to sub
init to the law The captains of
the local companies, Daniel Stull,
Robert Douglas, John Geiger, John
Lee, Casper Shaffner, Immediately
called for their men to assemble,
and Capt. Jacob Schnebley, called
for volunteers to- form a company
of light horse. But the very next
week an old timer of near South
Mountain fearlessly sent the Spy
letter violently denouncing the Ex-
else law.
This area along South Mountain
must have had many, many stills
at this time, for a body of men
assembled to oppose the law. They
intended to march to Frederick and
seize the magazines deposited there.
But Frederick was well supplied
with soldiers and the threat was not
carried out. When this group was

Horse And Buggy Days
BY IDA 10 MARTIN

Back in the early days of our
country, and of our own Washing
ton County, this valley was prac-
tically isolated from the seacoast
and the rest of the world. AS l
have told before, very little was
brought in from outside manufac-
turers, making it necessary for the
people to make their own clothes
as we'll as many other articles about
their homes.
For the same reason, very little
was shipped out, or sold to distant
markets This was of course the
days of the horse and buggy, or
the horse and wagon, and roads
scarcely deserving the name of road.
There were for a while just two
exports from the valley locally, one
of which was wheat flour This
product was transported in covered
wagons over the long and dangerous
journey, at great expense. In fact
the trip was SO expensive that it
did not pay to take out other pro-
ducts, except one Among other
crops largely grown were corn and
rye, neither of which could profit
ably be exported But there was a
far less bulky, and far better paying
rArn1trOi ia NJ nnttII hn mazda f,savtn
these crops and shipped without
much trouble. This of course was
whiskey
Business was good; and the still
became such a common article that
many considered its product the most
important of the County. Whiskey
was in those days so readily ac-
ceptable in trade that, in the scarcity
of coins and currency, it became a
sort of standard in the place of a
price, in bartering goods. At one
time, gallon of Rye whiskey was
considered equivalent to a shilling
in most of the County stores.
While the whiskey flowed, our
early Congress was battling with
, the question of how to raise money
to meet government expenditures.
So they placed a tax on whiskey
under the Excise Law" of 1891.
The tax amounted to from seven to
eighteen cents on gallon, depend
ing on the strength, or an alterna-
tive tax on the still.
The new law was greeted with
'dlsapproval and resentment every
where. This was especially true in
outlying sections, such as our own
valley, where people depended on
the selling of whiskey as the most
important source of income. Many
regarded this act of Congress as
being as oppressive and as tyranni-
cal as the hated taxes imposed by
England only short while before.
Then came the "Revenoo-ers."
These unfortunate individuals were
treated just as badly as the comic
strip writers show. Moreover, any
person who sheltered or counter
anced" them was often tarred and
feathered and then left bound to a
tree. But if someone gave out in
formation about a still, their treat
ment was even worse: their prop
erty was often burned and some
times there were deaths.
The 'WhisIkey Boys" began hold
ing conventions and tried to organ
ize their fight against the Excise
