DISPENSARY LAW
Is About to be Again Put to the Test
in the Supreme Court.

Washington. Nov. 27.-The appeal of
the state authorities of South Carolina
from the decision Of Judge SimOnton in
the case of the NandercOOk cOmpany's
complaint of the enforcement of the
dispensary law has been docketed in
the United States supreme court. The
representatives of both sides to the
controversy have agreed upon a mo-
ton to advance the case upon the dock
ct, which motion probably win be made
in the court on Monday.
In this case the principal point ct is
sue is the effect of the congressional
amendments to the federal act regulat-
ing interstate traffic in spirits. These
amendments were Incorporated in the
law at Senator Tillman's instance after
the decision of the supreme court hold
ing the state law to be antagOnistic to
this federal statute, but Judge Simon
ton in the present case held that the
amendments did not remove the friction
and that the enforcement of the dispen-
sary law by taking possession Of goods
shipped into the state from the outside
as in the case Of the Vandercook ship
ment was a violation of the right Of
interstate commerce.
