SOUTH CaRoLISA's LIQUOR LAW
Judge Simonton Gives the Dispen-
sary Its DeathblOw.

Columbia, S. c., June Judge Simon
ton yesterday filed his decision in the
Vandcrcock dispensary case. He pro-
nounccd unconstitutional those parts of The
act of 1897 restricting the importation of
liouor in original packages within this
State for use in the State. This is regarded
as the dispensary' deathblow.
The Judge showed that the diSpeaSlry
law prohibits the Importation OF liquor IN
original packages for personal use. and the
sale of such original packages within his
State is in conflict with interstate SOM
nerce and void.
Gov. Ellerbe said two weeks ago that if
Sinonton decided this case against TIE
dispensarv he would shut it down. An
extra session of the legislature may he
called. otherwise the dispensary must he
closed 1t could not pay expenses untler
