September 6, 1915 - The Robesonian 1915
Brief Items of Local News.

Some ginger ale got gay at the McMillan pharmacy one day last week and gave 
several young men the fright of their lives.  A bottle popped off without any 
provocation at all, and other bottles followed suit in rapid fire until it 
sounded like a miniature battle, glass flying everywhere.  A young man who was 
waiting for a cold drink dashed through the door in a panic when the fusilade 
began; another young man, pale as the white marble fountain, fell limp against a 
showcase; and Mr. Eli Wishart, who was in the act of serving someone, fell prone 
upon the floor or got in the ice box or something; it is hard to get 
particulars.  The boys thought that somebody was taking shots at them with a 
rapidfire gun and they did not have time to observe closely and cannot remember 
clearly just what happened.
