by Mr.. Bales:
Provided, that it snail be unlawful
for any nonresident to receive from
any person or common carrier within
the State, any package or shipment
containing intoxicating liquors or
liquids, whether to be used within or
transported beyond tie limits Of the
State, and it shall be unlawful for any
oerson or common carrier to know

shipment to any nonresident within
the State"
Section five provides that common
carriers must keep a true and accu-
rate record of all shipments within
the month and file the same with the
probate Judge, or, in certain counties,
the clerk of court, at the end Of each
calendar month. Also peace officers

inspect the records of the transporta-
ton companies.
Section eight provides that the
packages of intoxicants received can
not be broken open in the office Of
the common carrier where delivered.
Section ten reads as follows:

or any common carrier, servant, agent
or employe thereof, to ship or trans
port from one point or place in this
State, any trunk, valise or package
of any kind, containing any alcoholic
liquors or beverages, unless the true
nature and character Of the contents
of such packages are clearly and
legibly marked on the outside there

ney with the smallest bottle Of intoxi-
cants in a valise, the valise must be
marked in some such way, Liquor"
Booze" or wnatnot. A rather embar-
RAISING predicament for sensitive
