Buyer of Liquor
Held Responsible
Alabama Supreme Court Rules Buyer
and Seller Equally Amenable

Montgomery, Ala.-The much con-
troverted question of the guilt Of
purchasers of liquor has been settled
for Alabama state courts by a ruling
handed down by the state supreme
/ court recently which held sellers and
buyers of intoxicants equally amena-
Bile under the states 'bone dry liqu-
or law.
Lower Court Overruled.
In writing the opinion, Justice E;r-
gil Bouldin reversed a decision of the
court of appeals, which had upheld
he contention Of Jim Jinright that
for buying or selling" liquor was
invalid because the state statute
did not specifically prohibit such pur-
chases.
The court of appeals granted jim
right a new trial on the promise that
the permitted inclusion of the word
"buying" in the indictment returned
against him constituted an error by
the trial court.
Under the Interpretation given
Justice Bouldin's opinion by attor-
neys here, it is a misdemeanor in
Alabama to receive, or possess Ii
quor, regardless of the manner in
which the contfabrand is obtained.
Celebrating on his Interpretation of
the law, Justice Bouldin said in the
opinion:
Receiving prohibited liquors into
possession, having them in possession,
whether by manufacture, gift or
purchase and whether for sale or for
personal use is an offense under the
law"
Admitting the illegality of the
purchase" of prohibited article,
Justice Bouldin held that the "ac-
quiring actual possession" or liquor
constitutes a violation of the prohi-
bition law of Alabama.
Cites State Law.
Justice Bouldin cited section 1851
of the state criminal code of 1928,
the year the present dry law was
enacted, as authority for his opinion.
The section, captioned agent or
assisting friend of buyer or seller"
says:
"Any person who shall act as agent
or assisting friend of the seller or
buyer in procuring an unlawful sale
of prohibited liquors and beverages
shall be punishable as if he had sold
said prohibited liquors and beverages
and conviction may be had of such
agent or assisting friend upon an in
dictment, affidavit or complaint a.
@ainst himfor selling prohibited liqu-
ors and beverages contrary to law"
An appended note said the section
was intended to meet decisions of
courts holding views as did the court
of appeals.

Children Look
To Santa Claus
Clintwo0d Youngsters Are Aglow
In Happy Expectations

If the kids in Clintwood haven't
begun to count the days until Christ
mas and the annual visit of Santa
Claus, long before this, there's some
thing wrong. They aren't normal
kids are they are sick. The best
thing to do in the circumstances, it
is advised, is to see your family ply
stefan and see him now.
No one has any misgiving as to
the physical condition of the kids
of this town. AT least so far as the
majority of them are concerned, and
it's safe wager, no matter what the
odds are, that every last mothers
one of them has begun his calcula-
tons as to the remaining days before
the visit of old Santa, who annually
distributes Christmas gifts and good
cheer at the Christmas season.
Not only are they counting the
days until Christmas, but they have
already started the list Of things they
want this year. If you want every
thing to run smoothly during the holt
day season, it wouldn't be amiss to
do a little listening in on them.
Now, for you, Mr.. Pa and Mrs.
Ma. The good old Saint has to de-
pend pretty largely on your assist
ance in the matter of planning the
Christmas for the various chaps of
the land, and unless you give him the
proper tips things are likely to get
gummed up and there will be lot
of disappointment.
Kids from Washington to Florida
and from Maine to California have
been all tuned up for some days now.
In fact they began making plans ever
since last Christmas. Of course that
was long time off, and while they
had some ideas as to what they would
want this year, they felt as though
it would be an age for the time would
roll around for them to realize them.
Even now with Christmas only a
few days away, the youngsters feel
like it will never get here. All of US
had the same experiences when we
were kids. 1t was a century almost
from one Christmas to another. AS
the years piled up on us though the
intervals between one Christmas sea-
son and another have gradually
lessened until now, if you have pass
ed the half way mark of life it seems
as though one hardly passes before
another is right on us again.
Well all of US, young and old, get
some Joy out of this holiday season,
but it is for the kids for the most
part They get the biggest kick out
of it, and why shouldn't they? After
a fellow grows up he suddenly dis
covers that there is a lot of sorrow
and disappointment mixed up with
the pleasures of this life. SO why
deny the kids all the pleasure they
can possibly get out of the Yuletide
season. They'll get their bumps soon
enough so if they can have any fun
now, give it to them
When the kids in your home sit
down some evening, and if they have
not already done so they will shortly;
and begin their letter to Santa, join
in with them and lend them all the
assistance possible. Keep keen eye
on the things they will list in that
letter. You'll be surprised to dis
cover how little it takes to make them
really happy.
Every now and then you'll run
The Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1927-1930, 1929-12-12

across a fellow who wants the lions
share of the goodies, but he is the
exception. For the most part the
kids are easy to please both as to
the assortment of gifts and the cost
of them.
When the letter is ready for the
mailing, see that it is properly post
ed, and that old Santa gets the letter
in time to make up his parcel. A lit
tie careful shopping at the toy stores
will reveal just the things you have
seen listed in these letters, and in
this way give old Santa a helpful
lift, and there won't be any delay
when he comes round on Christmas
Eve.
The next few weeks will be busy
ones for the youngsters. This visit
of Santa Claus is very mysterious
thing to them. They are going to ask
a lot of questions, and while the an
swers may be evasive in the majority
of cases, it will not lessen their in
terest or dampen their enthusiasm
one bit. They lay great store by old
st. Nick.
In some of the larger cities the
poor of the community are looked
after in a way by the members of
the fire departments. Weeks before
the holidays they send out call for
all damaged or discarded toys. They
are gathered together at the fire sta
tions and the fremen during thei,
leisure hours occupy their time re
facilitating tin soldiers, wrecked au-
tomobiles, smashed railroad trains
and the like. After they have been
put in ship shape and new coat
of bright paint added, they are ready
for another trip to the hearts of the
children and this time they will find
places in the homes of the poor where
otherwise, there would be very little

II the movement for repeal of the

continued, Senator Black, Democrat, OF
Alabama, will press for o vote on the
bill he recently introduced to restrict
all immigration for q period Of five
years beginning July /, 1880, 1t was in

Senator Black believes the United
States has the right to stop all immi-

citizenship of the country on any basis
which the people Of America may see
fit to adopt.
Issue Called Simple.
Last year, according to the Alabama
Senator, 57,765 MexicanS were legally
admitted into the United States.
Senator Black outlined his views on
the immigration question in radio
talk Friday night
The recent agitation for a repeal of
the national origins method of select
ing immigrants has caused the eyes of
the thoughtful people of this country
to focus upon our immigration policy"
Senator Black declared.
The issue In this question is simple.
Our Government has adopted a policy
of restricted immigration from Euro

stricted immigration from Canada,
Mexico and South America. National
origin limits the number admitted to
100000, while If the act is repealed,

RUSSIA TO IMPORT

BY the Associated Press.

A serious grain and food shortage in
Russia was described last night by DR..
Julius Klein, Assistant Secretary OF
Commerce. in a radio talk over the
National Broadcasting Co. chain.
Clearly, a rather serious plight ex-
lists within the Soviet union" he de-
clared. THE gravest problem arises
from the undeniable shortage OF grain
and a consequent scarcity of bread.
All social elements are affected. Every
city is rationed, prices are mounting,
peasants are leaving their farms"
Must Import GRAIN"
Russia will be compelled to import
grain before the Spring harvest, DR..
Klein said, adding that estimates of
the amount needed go as high as soc, 900
tons, most of which will be imported
from Argentina.
Recovery Of Russia continues to be a
major problem for Europe, DR.. Klein
said, adding that until the buying
power of that country is materially
strengthened the export trade of most
of the European nations is likely to be
