DECISION BY JUDGE
SMITH is REVERSED
Supreme Court Rules in Favor OF
"Whiskey Runner"
NO RIGHT TO SEARCH HOME
Action of Internal Revenue Agents Is
Held to BE Unconstitutional

Washington, Feb. 28.-Today the
Supreme Court Of the United States
, reversed Judge Smith of the Federal
District Court of Eastern South Caro-
Ina in the case of Lawrence Amos, of
Marion County, an alleged "blockade"
whlskcy seller, on grounds involving
the search of premises by federal rev
cnuc agents without a warrant. The
Supreme Court declares such search
unconstitutional.
Amos was indicted on six counts.
On four Of which he was acquitted,
but was convicted on counts of re-
moving whiskcy on which the federal
tax had not been paid and of selling
whiskey without pcrment or the fed
eral tax. 1t was brought out in the
| trial before Judge Smiths court that
L. j. Coleman, and A. A. Rector, rev.
enue agents went to Amos house to
search the premises, stating hat they
were officers. Amos wife said he was
not at home but she permitted the
search and the agents found in bar
rel of peas a bottle containing about
half pint of blockade whiskey, and
under quilt two quart bottles of
similar liquor. They had no ..~ rch
warrant and no warrant for the ar
rest of Amos. They submitted as evi-
dence small quantity Of liquor which
the ysaid was fro mthe bottles which
they found in Amos house.
J1Sfinn T1n,l,
of the Supreme Court declares that
the cross examination of the govern
ment witnesses shows clearly the un-
constitutional. character of the seizure
by which the property which the
government introduced as evidence,
was obtained.
Contention that the constitutional
rights of the defendant were waived
by the act Of his wife admitting the
scarchers is not sustained, the highest
court holding that" there was implied
coercion in the circumstances. The
Supreme Court rcmands the matter
for further action in accordance with
the decision announced today.
The case was argued before the Su-
ipremc Court last December by r.
Dozier Lee, Of Sumter, and c.. A.
Douglass, Of Washington, for the de-
fepdant and by District Attorney F.
Fl. Weston for the government.

HEALTH NOTES

Last week Miss Moore examined 100
children of the Paxville School and
found that 1G Of this number needed
no treatment. There was only one
case of hookworm, which is much less
than the average. The percentage of
fectivc teeth was lower than usual
also. However, there is great room
for improvement in other respects.
The teahers are much interested in
everything that makes for the welfare
of their pupils and Miss Moore feels
that with their splendid cooperation
conditions will be much improved
