The New South Carolina Liquor Law
UncOnstitutfonal.

Washington, May 9.-In the United
States supreme court today the South
Carolina liquor law was again made
the subject of a decision which was
handed down by Justice White. The
state ~dispensary law having been
amended since the recent decision hold
ing it invalid, today's decision deals
with the new law. This law attempted
to eliminate the feature Of the old law,
discriminating against other states in
the shipment Of liquor to individuals
for their use in South Carolina, but
while this inhibition was eliminated
and the privileges restored in the new
law, it was coupled with conditions of
inspection, which, it was claimed, still
amounted to discrimination. The court
in today'S decision accepted this view
of the case, holding that the inspection
provision of the law is tantamount to a
denial of the right of Interstate COM
merce and therefore antagonistic to
the constitution of the United States.
The court held, however, that the por-
ton of the law regulating the sale of
the original packages within the state
was valid. The decision was rendered
in the case of Vance and Scott VS.. Van
dercrOOk & Co., of California.
The decision of the United States cir
cult court for South Carolina was in
favor of the California. Company. The
opinion rendered today had the effect
of affirming this opinion in part and
reversing it in part and the case was
remanded with instructions to proceed
accordingly.
Chief Justices Fuller and Justices
Shiras and McKenna dissented as to
the portion of the opinion reversing
any part of the decision of the court
below. They look the position that the
law in it's entirety is in violation Of the
constitution and that the opinion an
%tagonistic to it, should be sustained.
The court reversed the opinion of
the circuit court for South Carolina in
the case dealing with the seizure of
liquors shipped into South Carolina by
Vandercrook & Co. on the ground that
the court had no jurisdiction.
Senator Tillman, the author Of the
~dispensary law, says that the part that
is rejected by the supreme court will
not affect the workings of the law and
that the point sustained is sufficient.
He had already secured the passage of
a bill in the senate to meet the objec-
tons which the former decision en-
dered invalid, but says that it will not
be necessary under the decision today
to have the bill pass the house.
