Holds Buyer Guilty Also.

Anderson, Feb. 20.-In South Car
DINA the buyer Of whiskey from a
blind tiger is guilty of a violation Of
the law and is punishable just as is
the seller, according to a decree
handed down yesterday by Circuit
Judge Shipp, in dismissing several
appeals from the recorders court on
the charge OF transporting contra
band liquors, appealed on the ground
that they ere acting as agents Tor
purchasers, and that the whiskey was
not c%ontraband because 1t was to be
used for a lawful purpose.
The defendants stated that they
secured the whiskey from a blind
tiger, naming the man, and they
merely carried the whiskey from the
Tiger to the purchaser. The cases
probably will be carried to the State
Supreme Court.
