Winston-Salem, Aug. 5—Lem Bennett, Stokes county farmer, claims to be the world’s champion coffee drinker. According to his statement, he drinks the beverage three times a day, six cups to the meal, besides frequently getting up during the night and indulging in one or two cups.
“I have consumed coffee on this scale practically all my life and I am now 78,” declared Bennett, who admitted that for a few years he made a specialty of drinking a quart of whiskey each day, “though it was of much better brand than that manufactured today,” he added.
The Stokes farmer figures that he has drunk no less than 17,000 gallons of coffee, and he has no idea of stopping for several years yet.
