The Clarion-Ledger contains the
following concerning the c. o. ID.
shipments of whiskey that threaten
to curse Mississippi with whiskey
depository in every express town
in the State:
1t has come to pass that the
wholesale whiskey dealers of other
States have found loophole in the
Interstate commerce law through
which they are enabled to ship their
goods to any express office In the
State, collect on delivery.
THE shipper may then send an
agent to the town, or he may secure
the services of a local agent, to
dispose of the goods.
Both schemes are worked III
this city on huge scale, and the
IProhibitionists are alarmed and Sc
riously considering making test
case, to see if the decision of the
Texas judge will hold good.
Until two months ago {. o

not known in the State of Missis
