Not nn Invasion OF Private Rights.
'The newspapers have sown the seed Of dis
por,1 by teaching you that there are portions Of
the Jaw which invade private rights They
knew that when they say that they lie. The
Sight to search private houses on warrant is
old as the law itself. They know that they
are NO. telling the truth when they try to make
you believe that these len in Darlington were
Gefeuding their liberties.
IL said in my message to the legislature that
= large force OF cons tables would not be neces.
gary il the police OF the towns would enforce
the aw. but they would not 10 this. The dis
pensary Law Is not the issue now, but so long
rs ii Is on the statute boo@es so help me God,
&nleud tc enforce It,
Calls Them Cowards.
