A New York court has decided
that searching a husbands pock
ets is common theft and a woman
who abstracts things from that
bank is atrenable under the civil
law. Husbands would do well
not to put much depeudance on
the law though and a little cau
tion in destroying compromising
stationery still has its advant
ages.

The prohibition question has not
yet come up for debate though th**j
bills providing for State wtde prohi- 1
-bkior. have been introduced and arH
on the calendars. ■*
Senator Lide. of Orangeburg, has
introduced a bill providing ior a
general election throughout the
State to be taken on the question as
to whether the *tate shall go prohi
bition or not. It provides that the
election shall be held to determine
the State's policy regarding the sale
of alcoholic liquors and the election
is ordered for August 24tn. The
question to be answered in this
election are:
r 1. Are you in favor of State pro
hibition?
2. Are you in favor of local op
tion between county prohibiton and
the county dispensary system?
3. Are you in favor of extending
local of lion between a system of
prohibition or license or the county
dispensary system? 2
Charleston through Senator Sink- 1 H
ler has proposed a bill along the {Jj
same line. ‘ y
Senotor Appelt has a bill to im*
pose a heavy license tax upon whis- Q
key drummers soliciting orders for , ^
whiskey in this State. The purport 1 £
of the bill is to make it prohibitive. [ ^
Just what wi’l be the result of all m
these proposed measures on the £
whiskey question ' seems to be in i
very great doubt-
It will l»e recalled that the house
at the last session passed a State
wide prohibition bill which was
killed in the ‘ehate. It is not at all
certain that this legislature will pass
State wide prohibition. The senti
ment seJms to be growing amongst
the members that the cause of tem
perance will be best promoted by
allowing each county to vote on this
question as under the present law.
It may be, however, that the refer
endum proposed by Senator Lide
will be adopted so that the matter
may be passed upon by the people
themselves.
The dispensary committee of the
house to whom was referred the
prohibition bill introduced in that
body submitted a majority favora
ble report and a minoritj unfavora
ble report. Mr. Kibler, who is on
this committee, signed the majority
report.
