FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY,

Columbinit July ?>?.--/V citlzoh of
South Carolina lias the right lo tJ*a. ?
pori one quart or lesa of whiskey for
personal uso In hjs baggage under
the terms of the Quart-a-Month Act,
according to an opinion Just rendered
by Assistant Attorney General Claud
N. Sapp. The opinion ls given in an
swer to a query from L. D. Bearden,
of Westminster. The letter to Mr.
Bearden follows:
"Your letter of tho 26th Instant to
the Attorney General in which you
state that one quart of whiskey
which you were transporting in your
personal baggage and for personal
use has been seized as contraband by
the officers of your county, has been
handed me for attention.
"In reply thereto I beg to advise
that Section 7 of the Quart-a-Month
Act, passed at the last session of the
General Assembly, provides as fol
lows:
" 'It shall be unlawful for any per
son or any common carrier, servant,
agent or employee thereof to know
ingly ship or transport from without
thia State into this State, or from
one point or place in this State to an
other point or place In this State, any
trunk, valise or package of any kind,
containing any alcoholic liquors, un
less tho true nature and character of
the contents of the package is clearly
and legibly marked on the outside
thereof in letters at least one Inch
high. This provision shall not apply
to ono quart or loss of such liquors
in the baggago of a passenger and
carried for his personal use or that
of his immedinte family or for sacra
mental purposes.'
"You will seo from the provisions
of the above quoted section that a
person has the right to transport in
lils baggage for bis personal use or
that of his immediate family or for
sacramental purposes one quart of al
coholic liquors, containing not in ex
cess of 50 per cent of alcohol ny vol
ume, and I am of the opinion that
if the liquor referred to by you was
received and w^hs being transported
by you for the purposes mentioned
in the section above quoted it would
not be subject lo seizure as contra
band by the oiflcor8 on forcing tho
prohibition laws, nor would you bo
subject to any prosecution for viola
tion of the Quart-a-Month Act."

As has been shown, many acquire
tho alcohol habit beforo attaining

which this habit had been acquired,
