ORIGINAL PACKAGE DEFINED.
Disputed Feature of the Dispensary
Law Settled.

Charleston, S. c., Aug Judge
Simonton of the United States court
filed his decision today defining an
original package and thereby settling
a disputed feature of the dispensary
law.
The court holds that the original
package is the form in which the liquor
is delivered to the initial carrier at the
point of shipment. If a box of liquor
is imported, the whole box must be
sold and not a single bottle from the
box.
The decision will require all dealers
to import liquor in single packages.
