this State, yet the practical question
still remains whether the Dispensary
Act falls within either of these classes.
1t does not seem to US possible to
regard the Dispensary Act as a law
prohibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquors. On the contrary it not only
permits but absolutely encourages such
sale to an Unlimited extent, for by its
profit feature it holds out au induce
ment to every taxpayer to encourage
as large sales as possible. and thereby
lessen the burden of taxation to the
extent of the profits realized. If the
Act, instead of c%ondniDg the privilege
of selling liquor to the State. had uu-
dertaken to confer such exclusive
privilege upon one or more individuals,
or upon a particular corporation. could
there be any doubt that such an exer-
else Of legislative power would be un-
constitutional We can see no differ
ence in principle between the two
cases. Even the Slaughter House
cases., as they are called, is Wall, So,
decided by a bare majority of the
Court, aud which must be regarded as
having gone to the extreme limit, did
not 60 to the extent Of holding that an
Act %forbiding all other persons except
the favored corporation from pursuing
the lawful occupation of a butcher, or
from carrying on any other lawful
business or trade, would be coustifu-
%tional, for the opinion Of the majority
Of the Court was rested expressly upon
the ground that the Act there in ques-
ton did not forbid any person who
might desire to do SO from pursuing the
avocation of a butcher, but only re-
CURED him, as a measure of police
regulation, to have his slaugbteriDg
doue at a specified place upon paying
reasonable charges described by the
Act to the corporation for the use of
the conveniences for that purpose.
which such corporation was bound
under a heavy penalty to furnish any
one who desired to use them. It is

ever they enter upon the inquiry
whether the Legislature has transcend
ed the limits of its authority If.
therefore, a statute purportiug to have
been enacted to protect the public
health, the public morals or the public
safety has no real or substantial rela-
tons to those objects, or is a palpable
invasion Of rights secured by the fun
dameutal law. it is the duty Of the
Courts to so adjudge and thereby give
effect to the Constitution" See also
what was said by our " Court 10 the
case of Whaley vs.. Gaillard, p S Co..
at D. 578, where the same principle
was applied to a totally different sub
icct-the Limitation Of the power of the
Legislature to contract a public debt.
1t seems to US, therefore, that it is
not ouly our right but u duty to
inquire whether the Dispepsary Act
was intended to BE an exercise Of the
police power to regulate the sale of in
toxicating liquors, and If so whether its
terms have any real or substantial re-
lation to that object.
Now it is quite certain that the Act
does not in terms purport to be an Act
to regulate the sale Of intoxicating
liquors by persons who may be engagg-
ed or who may desire to engage in
such traffic. On the contrary its de-
clared purpose is to absolutely prohibit
such sale by private individuals, and
this is made more manifest by the
numerous provisions found in the body
Of the Act.
Now, while the power of the Legis-
lature to enact such laws as may be
deemed necessary aud proper to regu-
late the sale of intoxicating liquors BY
any person within the limits of the
State, 10 order to prevent or at least
reduce as far as possible the evils which
are apt to flow from such a traffic is
concerned, yet we cannot regard the
dispcpsary law as such an Act. In
deed it must be a contradiction 10 terms
to speak of an Act of such a character
as this is as an Act to regulate the
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1894-04-25

purpose of protecting the public health
or the public morals Of the people Of
this State.
But it is earnestly contended by the
Attorney General that if the power to
prohibit absolutely the sale of i%utoxica-
ting liquors be conceded it follows
necessarily that the State may assume
the monopoly of such a trade, and in
support of this view he cites Ticdeman
on the limitations of the police power,
SIS, where that author uses the follow
ing language: There is no doubt that a
trade or occupation which is Inherently
and necessarily injurious to society may
be prohibited altogether aud it does
not seem to be questioned that the
prosecution Of such a business may be
assumed BY the Government and
managed by it as a monopoly But
the only authority which the author
cites to sustain this rather extraordinary
proposition is the case Of Breunen's
liquors, % Comm. 27S, overlooking en-
tirely the cases Of Beebe VS. State. 6 In D,
SOL, which holds an opposite view,
aud which had been previously cited by
the same author at page 1877, aud
quoted from, apparently With approval;
but in addition to this we are unable to
perceive how the right to prohibit a
given traffic carries with it the power in
the State to assume the monopoly Of
such traffic.
If the right to prohibit the sale Of
intoxicating liquors rests upon the
ground that such a traffic lis inherently
and necessarily injurious to society.'a as
is involved in the statement by the
author of his proposition, then it seems
to US that the logical and necessary con.
%clusion would be that the State could not
engage in such traffic, for otherwise we
should be compelled to admit the absurd
proposition that a State Government
established for the very purpose Of pro-

equally between the county and
the municipal corporation with
in which such dispensary is located.
1t is also provided that the State
commissioner may sell intoxicating
liquors 80 purchased by him to persons
outside of the State.
This being the nature, scope and
object Of the Dispensary Act, our next
inquiry is whether it conflicts with any
provision Of our State Constitution.
There are at least two of the provisions
of that instrument with which the
DispeDsary Act conflicts. The LIST Sec
ton of the LIST article Of the Constitu-
ton reads as follows Cali men are
born free and equal, endowed by their
Greater With certain inalienable rights
among which are the rights of enjoying
aud defending their lives and liberties,
of acquiring, possessing protecting pro-
perty. and of seeking aud obtaining
their safety and happiness" And 10
Section l of the same article it is
explicitly declared that no person shall
be %despoiled or dispossessed Of his pro-
perty, immunities or privileges or
deprived Of his life, liberty or estate but
by the judgment of his peers or the
law of the land"
Here. then we have not only an
explicit declaration that every person 10
this Commonwealth has certain rights
derived, not from the Government, but
from the Creator, which are declared to
be i9alienable, but also an expressed
declaration that he shall not be de-
prived of them except iu one of two
ways-6rst, by the judgment of his
peers, or second, by the law Of the
land. So sacred was this ri ht Of pro-
perty regarded that the trainers of the
Constitution, not content with the gen.
eral provisions above referred to, declar-
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1894-04-25

tons where State Legislation designed to
prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors,
are effected by the Interstate commerce
clause of the Constitution Of the United
States, necessarily imply that intozica.
ting liquor is a subject of lawful COM
merce. for otherwise such questions
could not arise.
1t was only upon this ground that the
decision in the case Of Leisy VS. Hardin,
1875 U. S Rep, 100, was or could be
defended. There the question was
whether such liquor imported into the
State of Iowa from the State of Illinois
could be lawfully sold in the unbroken
packages in which they were imported
within the limits Of the State of Iowa,
and the Court held that, notwitbstand-
ing the stringent provisions of the Iowa
prohibltory law, such liquors could be
sold by the importer as long as the
original package remained in his hands
u%nbroken, and that the Iowa statutes,
in SO far as they %purported to forbid
such a sale, was in conflict with that
clause Of the United States Constitution
comforting upon Congress the power to
regulate commerce With foreign States
and between the several States. In
that case Fuller, C. j., in delivering the
opinion Of the Court, cites with approval
certain language used by Mr.. Justice
Matthews. 10 delivering the opinion Of
the Court in the case of Bowman
against Chicago, etc, Railway Company
125 U. S. Rep, 465, involving the same
principle, where he draws a distinction
between articles not in a merchantablc
condition, and therefore not legitimate
subjects of commerce, for example, rags
likely to spread infectious diseases, and
other articles which are the legitimate
subjects of commerce.. amongst which
Intoxicating liquors must have been
| classed, or the decision could not posi-

possible aspect, and ponder upon it as
long IS deliberation and patient atten-
ton can throw any new light on the
subject, and never declare a statute
void unless the nullity and iuvalidity of
the Act are placed, in their judgment,
beyond reasonable doubt" A reason
able doubt must be solved in favor of
the Legislative action and the Act be
sustained. Or as was said BY Mar
shall, G. j., in Fletcher VS.. Pack, 8
Csauch, 128. likewise quoted with
approva! by Judge Cooley in the same
connection: 1.-The question whether a
Law be void for its repuguacy to the
Constitution is at all times a question
of much delicacy, which ought seldom,
if ever, to be decided 10 the afhrma-
tive in a doubtful case. The Court
when impelled by duty to render such
a judgment would be unworthy of its
station could it be unmindful of the
solemn obligation which that station
imposes. but it is not on slight implica-
tons snd vague conjecture that the
Legislature is to be pronounced to have
transcribed its powers and its Acts to
be considered as void. The opposition
between the Constitution and the law
should be such that the judge feels a
clear and strong conviction Of their
incompatibilisy with each other"
These views have been fully recognized
in this State, as is most fully, clearly
and forcibly set forth by MIR. Justice
Mct1owan in ex parte Lynch 10 S. C.,
So. and have been approved in many
other cases.
We also freely coucede that 10 con-
sidering the question whether an Act of
the General Assembly of this State is
in conflict With the Constitution, either
State or Federal, the inquiry is whether
there is anything in either of those
instruments forbidding the passage of
such an Act, either in express terms or
