'Shoplifting' Bill Enacted For State A “shoplifting” bill was enact ed last week by the South Caro lina General Assembly, and signed by the Governor on Thursday. The bill was re searched, developed, and spear headed by the South Carolina Retail Council, which is the merchants’ association in South Carolina. The meaning of the legisla- -tion is that it gives authority to the merchant to enable him to protect ' his merchandise. Previous to passage of this legis lation, it was stated, the mer chant had little defense in de taining a person he suspected of shoplifting. The reinforced law now pro vides that if a merchant, his employee, or agent, has reason able cause to heUeve a person is shdplifting, he can detain such person in a reasonable manner for a reasonable time, concerning the ownership of merchandise. This provision gives the merchant a defense in cases of false arrest and gives him his “day in court.” In ad dition to providing a defense in case of false arrest, the new measure will act as a major de terrent to the large volume of shoplifting now existing in South Carolina. From the experience in 31 other states having a law iden tical or similar to the one en acted in Columbia last week, the new measure, it was stated, should result in reducing by 40 to 50 per cent the amount of merchandise lost by shop lifting. stated that tba bin D. B. Smith, chairman of the the Clinton merchants a Merchants Division of the Clin- amount of money each year ton Chamber of Commerce, by shoplifting. r OottB Buff CrR Dovgl IMRD'S DCTMMINATIMt C* SPAKTANBUBG.
