HERIFF POURS OUT gpi ASSORTED HOOTCH | Yesterday afternoon there was a seeping and gnashing of teeth a mong a goodly number of the male j| ^habitants of Abbeville as Sheriff |] IcLain and Chief Johnson and oth- S ,rs proceeded to pour into the gut- H er in front of the court house, about 1 welve gallons of assorted hootch, h vhis mountain corn, mellow rye, red- a ye, blue lightnin', and other brands ? iad been allowed to accumulate, on g he -quiet, of course, from the vari- |] us liquor raids, made before the last |] erm of court. One spectator offered S o bet a dime to a button that it [| pould not burn, but he lost. It is not [fj ertain, though suspected, that the s nan who accepted the wager had s aixed same gasoline with the joyful g iquid in anticipation of such an op- @ lortunity. S Some one watched the gutter back {a f the city hail, expecting, no doubt, ? o get one more delectable smell of s he odifexous substance, but he re- e >orted that it never did coane that j| my?and there was no other way |j or it to go. There is mystery there, @ ml the sheriff thinks that someone ? as a secret main leading away to a a (idden barrel somewhere in the S leiighfborihood.
