appoint commissioner to carry out the
law, and the Governor, Attorney Gen.
eral and Controller are to form State
Board of Control In each county there

Control, The county dispensers, as far
as possible, and all officials in the sYs-
tenn are to be persons who do not drink
intoxicants and all are to be under heavy
bond The country dispensers are made
liable to suits by wives, parents, &C., for
damages resulting to them through
lnfraciions Of the law. Liquors are to
be bought by the commissioner from
distilleries or breweries in the State
when they can be had as cheap and OF
as good quality as can be had elsewhere.
All are to be tested by the State Chemi. I

purchased. They are put into packages
containing not less than half pint nor
more than a gallon, and the dispenser

dispenser. Heavy penalties are pre-
scribed for violations of the law, and |
State officials are authorized to seize as
contraband all liquors brought into the |
