What Released the Beer.


Columbia, S. c., Nov. 27, 1872
The Hon. Cole. L. Blease, Governor Of
, South Carolina, Columbia, S. C.-Dear
= Sir: / am informed that Omar Temple
of Shriners have ordered and had
shipped to Columbia to one of their
members a quantity of beer for the
use of the Shrine at their meeting and
banquet here tomorr~w, and that this
beer has been seized by one of the
AdSpensary constables.
The beer IS bought by the Temple,
will be paid for with funds OF the
Temple, and is to be used by them
when assembled here tomorrow, just
as supplies of food are to be used at
their banquet. 1t is not to be sold or
distributed among members, but SIM
'ply to be drank at the meeting by the
members of the Temple present, No
charge is made against the members
for the beer or any other article served
= at the banquet-the beer is simply to
be part of the bill of fare.
In my opinion, it Is not a violation
of the dispensary law to purchase beer
and use it in this way.
Yours truly,
(signed) "'M. P. DeBruhl,
Assistant Attorney General

session some Of the tags which were

Now, any man who knows anything
about the law of this State knows that
Mr.. Gresham did not need any twenty
seven or tWenty-eight barrels of beer
for his personal use, and for that rea-
son the seizure was made.

IS being made by some of my enemies

that the hog sold by Camelin belonged
to Smyth and that Camelin should pay
Smyth $50.
