GOVERNOR BLEASE BUCKS UNCLE SAM Scorns to Think that the United States Government is Going to Flood South Carolina with Mean Liquor. Governor Hlease, in a letter address ed to every sheriff in South Carolina, including Sheriff Owings, calls on them to seize all contraband liquor which is sold by I'tmed Slates ofllcers, as con traband, as soon as It Is in the hands of the purchaser. This action of the Governor is taken following the decis- J ion of Federal Judge Smith that Uni ted States revenue olllcers have a right to sell liquor seized by them in this State at public auction, as was done by Deputy Scruggs at Walhalla recent ly. The letter of the Governor fol-1 lows: Iteusoiis for Position. "If at any time an agent or ofllcer of the United States Government adver tises that he is going to have a sale of whiskey at any point within your coun ty, you are hereby directed and com manded to be personally present at the place of the said sale, and when the same takeB place, and the contraband whiskey, which Is sold as such by the United States Government, is delivered to the purchaser, you seize immediately the said whiskey, beer, wine or other alcoholic liquors, under and in accord ance with the provisions of the laws] of the State of South Carolina. It may be lawful for an olllcer of the United States Government to sell whiskey within the State of South Carolina oth erwise than Is provided by our State | laws (but I for one do not believe it;) however, we will bow to the decision of the Court until reversed, but when the United States Government sells this whiskey, etc, he who purchases it, becomes the owner of and in possession of contraband liquors, which is pro hibited by our statute laws, because if I it were not contraband the United States Government would not be sell ing it; for, they seize it as such. There-1 fore, under the law of our state, when the whiskey, or other Intoxicating li quors is delivered to the purchaser he then becomes the owner and is in pos s sslon of the contraband, In direct] violation of our statute laws. There fore, when the United States Govern ment olllcers make their sale, as soon as the stuff is put into the hands of the purchaser you are hereby direct ed nnd commanded to immediately seize it as contraband, and if any ac-1 tion is brought against you, either civ il or criminal, you will immediately communicate with this oilice and I will take proper steps to have your interests protected. Won't Stand for It. "Do not fall In this matter. I desire to conflict between the State and the United States Government, *>ut I do not propose to allow the llroding of this state with whiskey under a pre tence of law; when these Government seizures are sold, the goods will be purchased and resold by blind tigers throughout the State, which I know is prohibited by our statute laws, and the United States Government should not lend its assistance, through its of ficers, to any such illegal or Illicit traf fic and I do not propose to stand for | it so far as 1 am concerned. "Therefore, when the sale Is made and the stuff is delivered into the hands of the purchaser, seize your prisoner for having in his possession contraband whiskey, and also seize the goods as contraband, and hold both un til they be released by due process of| law. "Failure on your part to carry out these Instructions will be dealt with In no uncertain way. "We desire no conflict, but the dig nity of the law of this State must be j preserved and will be."
