GOT BIG LOT OF BOOZE.
Fifteen Hundred Pints Captured by
Officers at Denmark.

Last Saturday afternoon the big
gest lot of whiskey ever confscated
in Bamberg county was seized by the
town authorities of Denmark. Fit
teen hundred pint bottles, en- route
from Savannah to Charleston, were
in the shipment. The liquor was
packed in large boxes, and consigned
to the "Charleston Crockery Co.,
Charleston, S. c."
The boxes we're brought by freight
to Denmark from Savannah over the
Seaboard Air Line railway. 1t was
transferred at Denmark to the South
ern Railway freight depot, to be car
ried to Charleston on the Southern.
When it was ascertained that the
boxes contained whiskey, the South
ern authorities refused to accept the
consignment for shipment to Charles
ton, whereupon it was seized by the
town authorities of Denmark. The
whiskey is now stored in Denmark,
and it will, presumably, be destroyed,
as is required by the law regarding
confiscated liquor.

When is Homicide Murder?

Some of our contemporaries con-
tinue to use the term murder IN
speaking of a homicide. 1t is our
idea that a killing is homicide un-
till it is proven otherwise. The courts
in South Carolina very rarely sustain
any one in calling homicide muir
der, because there are very rare con-
victions. What you may think looks
like a murder, will doubtless look
different to the jury. Anyway, a per-
son is presumed to be innocent until
proven guilty. And we South Caro-
linians are not very strong believers
in proving anybody guilty of muir
der.-Bamberg Herald.
But is it not a fact that when the
accused is arrested for homicide
the warrant charges murder and
if the grand jury finds true bill the
indictment also charges "murder?
The Herald is right, however, in
pointing out that the unfortunate
tragedies that occur too frequently
should be referred to as homicides.-
