jackson, Miss, Oct. 1o.-You
can only receive one quart of
whiskey every IS days and the
quart-at-a-time law has not been
abrogated by yesterdays opinion
of the Supreme Court dissoIving
The injunction granted by Chan
ceiIor Taylor and allowing a ref
erendum election.
That is the opinion Of Assistant
Attorney General Ethridge, SUI
preme Court judge.eect.
Without discussing the legality
of the adoption Of the initiative
and referendum, a question as yet
not passed on by the higher
courts, Judge Ethridas held that
the whiskey law is in force for the
reason it was adopted by the Iegis-
ature prior to the enactment of
the initiative and referendum into
the constitution. This same con-
diton exists so far as the law con-
cerning the publication Of whis-
key advertisements is concerned
At the American Express office
il was stated the express com
pany would not deliver gallon
shipments until in receipt Of an
opinion from the attorney general
which it is stated, will be asked
Immediately.
While Attorney General Collins
has given out no formal opinion
in the past few hours, It is re-
called that in July he gave an
opinion to the effect that the liquor
law was effective.
