THE ANTEyUG Law.

THE ANX1-JOQ La ".
"Section 2. That the place where
delivery of any spirituous, malt, yinous,
fermented or other intoxicating liquors
is made in the State of North Corolina,
shall be construed and held to be the
place of sale thereof, and any station
or ether place within said State to
which any person, firm, company or
corporation shall ship or convey any
spirituous, malt, vinous, fermented or
other Intoxicating liquors for the pur-
pose of delivering the same to pur-
chaser, shall be construed to be the
place of sale: Proyided, this section
shall not be construed to prevent the
delivery OF any spirituous, malt, vinous,
fermented or other intoxicating liquors
to druggists In sufficient quantities tor
medical purposes only"
Tie foregoing is section OF the
anti-jug law passed by the last legisla-
ture, and Senator London, editor OF
the Chatham Record, thinks it applies
to all prohibition counties. He dis
cussed it as follows:
"The language OF the above section
is plain and positive. 1t does not say
any place only in Cleveland. Cabarrus,
Mitchell and CASTOR counties, but ex-
pressly says ANY station or other place
within said State Thus any place in
North Carolina, where any liquor shall
lie delivered, shall be construed the
lace of sale, and therefore its delivery
is prohibited wherever its sale is pro-
bibited.
cit may be argued that the Legisla-
tura intended this section to apply only
to the four counties above named, and
such intention appears from the title
to the act, put such intention does not
appear In the unambiguous words Of
The section. The first section applies
only to those four counties in prohibit
Jog the manufacture and sale of liquors,
because it expressly reads as follows:
Section l. That 1t shall be unlaw-
:ul tor any person, firm or corporation
20 manufacture or barter or sell any
>pirituous, vinous, malt, fermented or
ether intoxicating liquors in the coun-
Ties OF Cleveland, Cabarrus, Mitchell
md Gaston.'
at section 2 was intended to apply
only to these four counties, as section
l applies, it should go read. While
the title of the act shows it was In.
tended to apply only to these four
counties, yet it must be remembered
that the title has been decided to be
not a part of the act. This was long
ago decided in England, and was sc
decided by our Supreme Court as fal
7zok as 1924 in the case of State against
Welsh. Indeed an act would be con.
stituted without any title, for our State
lays the style of the acts shall be, The
General Assembly of North Carolins
DO enact and says no thing about pre-
fixing title.
"The provisions OF this act went into
effect on the 3rd day of April, except
section l, which will not go into effect
until next July. So, it looks like the
anti jug law is now in force in all the
counties where the sale OF liquor is
prohibited and it would be we'll fol
people in all those counties to govern
themselves accordingly.
$50, it seems to be that all the pro
visions of the much discussed London
bill' are the law of the State, except
section 5 thereof, which its advocates
hardly hoped to pass"
