THE LIQUOR LAW.
The Regulations which Are TO Gov
ern the Saloon Keepers.

The Ordinary and Tax Collector Of Chat
ham will receive in few days, from Comp
troller General Wright, blank books to be
used in carrying out the law p'ssed by the
last Legislature requiring liquor dealers to
register.
The law is not generally known of among
saloon keepers. 1t requires that after the
first day of April, 1882, sellers Of liquor
shall, before engaging in business, register
their names with the Ordinary of the county
in which they propose to carry on business
A special book Is kept for that purpose
1t is then made the duty of the Ordinary to
notify the Tax Collector Of his county and
the Comptroller General of the State of
the registration; and the Comptroller is
required to keep a register of the same.
The Tax Collector is also required
to keep a record of the name of the
liquor dealer. When the register is
made the dealer is required TO at once pay
to the II x Collector the entire wears tax,
and the law provides that a failure to pay
the tax or to register is punishable as mis-
demeanor The Tax Collector is required
to give information against the offender,
and his failure to do so makes it the duty of
the Comptroller General to proceed against
him for the amount due by the defaultiDg
liquor dealer. The books are furnished by
the Comptroller General to the Obituaries
and Tax Collectors. The Tax Collectors are
to make quarterly reports ~ the Comp rol
Ter General and remitto the State Treasurer.
The act does not relieve saloon keepers
from the operations of United States laws
or local laws. The grand juries Of the coun-
ties are required to examine the registers,
and to iudict offenders.
