All articles subn^tted for publication must be signed ‘ . by the aitbor FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1946 LOTTERIES ARE UNLAWFUL If your church or civic organization is planning to give away a turkey, an electric range, a radio or per haps a bedroom or dining room suite to the holder of the lucky number in a ctiaritable raffle — STOP,. LOOK AND LISTEN. For those turkey raffles, in fact, any kind of a raffle is a lottery under the raling of John M.*Daniel, lin attorney general for South Carplma. For years worthy organizations have sold ticketSi some of which would entitle the holder to an automo bile, a turkey or some other prize. In every case in Camden the objective was to raise money for a charit able purpose. The reason these enterprises were not advertised in the Chronicle was because they would be in conflict with the federal law and the paper issue with them would be barred from the mail. Always the argument made by the interested parties has been: *‘But this is different, it’s for char ity." It is this point that the Chronicle wants to em- phasiae—chari^ or otherwsie, it’s a lottery and is therefore illegal. Attorney General Daniel points out that the su preme court of Uie United States defines the word lottery as "a scheme of raising money by selling chancef to dhare in the distribution of prizes, more specifically, a scheme for the distribution of prizes by chance among persons purchasiiuf tickets, thd cor- imbered slips or lots representing respondingly nui prizes or nlanks." He also points out that the state law reads as fol lows : "No lottery shall ever be allowed, or be adver tised by newspapers, or otherwise, or its tickets sold in this state." The South Carolina Federated Forces for Tem perance and Law-Enforcement is back of the state wide movement to eliminate the lottery menace. The movement is i^onunendable if it serves to put a stop to the racket that prevails at every carnival, a racket that fleeces people who can ill-afford to play these sucker games. It is to be regretted that lotteries that are planned for charitable purposes and by responsible groups have to come under the state and federal ban. But it would be futile to discriminate in the enforcement of the law.
