Must Drink From a
Bottle and Not a
Glass, He Declares
ATTORNEY SAYS THAT NEW
LIQUOR LAW MAKES 1T ILLEGAL
TO HAVE TWO CONTAINERS.

Whenever you pour drink OF wais-
key, beer, or wine out of bottle in
Mississippi, either to drink it your
self or give it to second person, you
have violated the letter of the new
state liquor law.
That is the contention OF George
Currie we'll known Hattiesburg attor-
ney, and he says that he believes that
If anyone ever is arrested while
caught in the act, the courts will be
forced to find verdict of guilty.
"The new law" Currie says, "stipu-
lates that person may legally have
in his possession but one quart of
whiskey at one time, and that it must
all be in the same container. Two
pint bottles of whiskey constitute a
violation. One quart is all right.
"Now, suppose that man pours out
into a glass drink of whiskey. The
moment the first drop touches the
bottom of the glass, a law has been
Violated"
Currie's opinion was given in police
court this morning, while the Wright
case was in trial.
"Then," Mayor Batson queried, "a
fellow will have to drink out of his
quart bottle, according to your inter
lpretationT'
"He certainly Wilt the attorney
