In a satirical travel account from Van Wyck, Dr Burgess is accused of being the guilty party in a playful dispute over pies, cakes, and fried chicken at a dinner, with fellow editors Way Carter and John King named amid humorous exchanges. The piece ends with a quip that Burgess must be guilty if he denies it. The State reports Charleston officials summoned mayors and police to answer dispensary enforcement questions on July 16. A Confederate flag gift is noted along with calls for unity after a 1865 evacuation. Greenville confirms the death of President Johnson’s daughter Martha Patterson on July 10.
