chcckmatc these lawbrcakers.
This became known i'll Hatticsburg
today, when both Sheriff HARRISON and
Chief of Police Bennett took up with
the officials of adjoining counties the
proposition of working ont some kind
of a systematic plan for coping with
the smugglcrs.
After tue coming Saturday, it will
be illegal for any person to have
shipped TO him in Mississippi more
than ! Quart Of whiskey, or "a pitts
of beer every Is days.
The officials realize that such q
drastic law will result in countless at
tempts to violate it by "bootleggers"
and blind tigers" throughout the
state They are planning to enforce
it, even to the letter, and when it goes
into effect. the authorities of this
county want to be ready to see that
it is not violated.
1t WAS learned here today that
blockade runners" already are pre-
pairing TO transport large quantities of
wEiskey and beer into Forrest county
in automobiles, directly from New Or
leans. II is to be supposed that SINH
lar attempts will be made to furnish
drinks to the other counties of the
state. The express companies and the
railroad companies will not, of course,
transport more than the legal amount,
knowingly.
Try to Disguise It.
But the 'bootleggers' will try to get
it in in Disguise Chief Bennett. of
the Hatticsburg department, said to-
day They will have it shipped in
rice barrels, in lemon and orange
boxes in sugar barrels, and in dozens
of other DISCUSSES. 1t will be ncces-
sary for the police to keep a close
watch on all the depOts of the city.
and on the quantity and quality of
freight and express received"
In speaking Of the blockade run
ners,' the chief continued:
THE run from New Orleans to Hat
tiesbufg. and a majority of the other
larger cities in the state, can be made
in automobiles in a comparatively
short time. When the surplus supply
of liquors on hand when the new regu-
lation goes into effect, iS finally eX-
hausted, those persons who have been
existing in the past on profits made
from retailing will get desperate.
They will pay the price demanded by
the 'smugglers,' although this neces-
sarily will be high, as the trip from
New j Orleans and the attending
chances will not be taken for the ex-
citement alone.
THE officials of the state will CO.
operate in fighting these blockade
runners. If every county and city
official in the state will do his duty, it
will be practically impossible 70: an
automobile laden with whiskcy anG
beer to get great distance from the
Louisiana line before being detected.
So far as it being able to get this dis
tance from New Orleans is concerned
il should be impossible"
After this week close watch will
be kept on all automobiles and trucks.
