Show I Queer Tastes in the Carolinas. During the exposition in Charleston one of -the many colonels in North Carolina came here with Gov. Aycock, says the News and Courier. He was very fond of ice cream, and at one of the most brilliant receptions of that period asked for pepper and salt, with which he declared it had always been his habit to eat his cream. That was something new under the sun in these parts, but as the Erskine college man says, De gustibus non disputandum. It. must be said, however, that the tarheel colonel is npt the only person of distinction who likes salt. A brilliant bril-liant young lawyer shocked his associates associ-ates at the Taft dinner in Summer-ville Summer-ville by drinking his champagne with salt. It is said that salt gives almost as fine a bouquet as vinegar. |
