the alleged stolerf goods. It developed
In the testimony, a tank was found,
and also a coll, wliicta had been elbow
rd, and the effort of the State was
to introduce this as a utlll for the
* /
manufacture of liQUor.
Former Judge M. T*. Smith, who re
presented the defendant, made the ob
jection (hat under the recent decisions
of the court* this testimony could not
be introduced unless it was first shown
that the search warrant wss legal?'
that it was properly executed, that
it described the property for which
th* search was to be mads, and Chat
it stated the source of Information.'

Radio mose-ages from Charleston to

I vaN. and the "listening lu" of -the
wireless Is proving an innovation to
the family and their friends. On Hun

! "To Mr. lleilairt Hoover has been
delegated the task of controlling the

rtnty to see that the air above the

all kinds of radio messages. To have
predicted tho possible need for such
control ten years ago would have been
oonSridered the heighth of silliness and -
folly by almost everyone. Today such '
control Is an absolute noet*?sity.
