M. Tyler, the Pennsylvanian proprietor of a general merchandise store at Grandersburg, situated be ween Coddle Creek and Poplar Tent, Mecklenburg couny, who many years ago entrusted a mysterious package to the late Hugh McAulay, of near Huntersville, instructing him - to keep it until his return, was not Ml. ed in the civil war and did not leave worth Carolina until the fall of 1869, it has been learned by a careful per usual of the papers and account books contained in the packet, which was opened in the American Trust comp any's building a few days ago, says me uoserver. It was frst announced that Tyler had fled to the north in 1861, at the outbreak of the civil war to join the federal army and that the Pennsyl vanian probably was killed in battle. Dates in Tyler's account books dis prove this altogether. Insertions in the account books date until October 27, 1869, four years after the civil war had ended. . Before the mysterious-packet was opened the Pennsylvanian's name was said to be J. T. Taylor, but on open- : ii . l i . . iug we package nis name was xouna to be M. M. Tyler. V The package which was about the size of a large book was left in the hands of the late Hugh McAulay, grandfather of Hugh A. McAulay, young attorney oi Charlotte, and as sistant city solicitor. v . The late Hugh McAulay died in 1876. The package then went to his widow, Mrs. Mary M. McAulay, who left it in 1900 to her maiden sister, Miss Martha I. Black.' On her death the packet was left to the late W. C McAulay who on his recent death left it to his Son, Hugh A. McAulay. Believing that so much time, had elapsed since the package was sealed that there was no possibility of the return of the Pennsylvanian. who was about 50 years old when he left North Carolina, Mr. McAulay decided to open the package. So the package was opened in the presence of Gov ernor Cameron Morrison, Miss Ange- lia Morrison, his little daughter; Mrs. W. C. McAulay. of near Huntersville, her son, Hueh A. McAulay: her small daughter, Edna; P. C, Whitlock, trust officer; John Fox. assistant trust offi cer of the Yandel, clerk of court and official witness, and several -other persons. .. , '. .Until the time of the opening many opinions as to the. contents of the package were advanced. Some think ing that f Mr. : .Tyler fotesaWT' the droughtful days, of prohibition, was wise enough to nut away a few quarts of choice spirits. Others said he probably had left a chest of money and yet others said he had Jeft-yalua-ble books and probably a diary. And then, too, there were. those -who be. lieved he had left just what the pack age was found to contain. V Although the contents of the pack age proved to be disappointing the more imaginative persons who looked forward to the discovery of a treasure percuniary, literary or liquid, they re veal some interesting information to the people of this day of high prices of commodities and' soda founts in stead of bar rooms. , The package contained two large account books and a smaller ledger, and several packets of bills and re ceipts. ' . ' ! - " ' , . -'- An inspection of the acount books revealed the information that it was not an uncommon thing for a man to purchase a pint of whiskey a day as a regular habit and then about once every few weeks to have a big "blowout" and buy a few gallons of the now forbidden fruit or a whole barrel of brandied peaches. - An account entered in 1867 shows that a pint of whiskey in those days cost but 35 cents, instead of the pres ent day bootlegger's fee of $3. A whole barrel of brandied neaches was sold for $6.50. Two gallons of choice . Baltimore liquor cost but $1.70. .;-.-: Corn (the grain) sold for 10 cents a bushel, -. ; .. Five yards - of print cloth, it was entered in the - account books, was bought by a customer for 75 cents, A man's hat was purchased by an other customer for $1. ki pair - of men's shoes sold- for $2.25 and a pair of ladies shoes for $1,75. But not everything was cheap. box of matches, 4t . was learned from the account books, contained in the mysterious packet, cost 80 cents, and 15 pounds of sugar cost $2.50. Chew ing tobacco was listed at SO cents a plug, but a plug in that time was large enough to last the most vora cious chewer quite- a few days. ' , It was reported that Mr. Tyler left North Carolina hastily, riding horse back. The reason for his sudden de jarture and whatever became of him still remain enshrouded in mystery and probably will remain so until eternity, unless some Pennsylvania relative or descendant turns up and gives a solution, Card of Thanks We wish to thank our many friend 'nl neighbors for their kindness dur- all HER CHILDREN.

LIQUOR DECISION BY SUPREME COURT American Ships May Serve Drinks on High Seas But ' . Not Bring Into Port Washington, April 30j Intoxicat ing liquors, even under seal, cannot lawfully be brought in American or foreign ships within three, miles of the shores, the United States Supreme court held today in a decision which declared, however, that outside the three-mile limit American vessels can legally sell intoxicants to passengers. The right of foreign ships to do so nad not been questioned. The opinion, rendered in 10 cases brought by foreign and two by Amer , ican steamship companies, was deliv ered by Justice Vandeyanter. With out expressing his views, Justice Mc Reynolds dissented. Justice Suther land in a dissenting opinion agreed with a majority of the court in ref erence to1 American ships, but de clared foreign vessels had the right to bring liquors into American ports under restrictions adequately guard ing against leakage ashore. The effect of the decision was to affirm that Federal Judge Hand in New 'York insofar as it sustained' the opinion of Attorney General Daugh erty that intoxicants could' not le gally be brought into American ports and to reverse it with regard to the right of American vessels .to have liquor aboard on the high seas and in foreign ports. - Congress Has Power The court todav nointed out sne- cifically that Congress has the power, if it sees fit to exercise it, to forbid all ships flying the American flag to carry and serve liquor outside the three-mile limit This view of the court resulted in' predictions by "many dry leaders," after the gist of the decision had become known, that an attempt would be made to -obtain legislation at this point at the , earliest opportunity.
