GOVERNOR OPPOSES RULING OF COURT. In Letter to Sheriffs of the Stale, Governor Blease Commands Seizure of Liquors Sold at Auction by Federal Officers?Won't Have State Laws Violated. He Says. Coiumbia, May 5?Governor Blease in South Carolina, calls on them to seize all contraband liquor which is 3old by United States officers, as contraband, as soon as it is in the hands of the purchaser. This action of the Governor is taken following the decision of Federal Judge' Smith that United States revenue officers have a right to sell liquor seized by them in this State at public auction, as was done by Deputy Scruggs at Walhalla recently. The letter of the Governor follows: MCHOU1IO IV! A UOII1V11* "If at any time an ageni or officer of the United States Government advertises that he is going to have a sale of whiskey at any point within your community, you are hereby directed and commanded to be'perscnally present at the place of the said sale, and when the same takes 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 accordance with the provisions of the laws of the State of South Carolina. It may be lawful for an officer of the United States government to sell whiskey within the state of South Carolina otherwise than is provided by our state laws (but I for one do not believe it) however, we will bow present, it not being a suffragist meeting, but on the long time waiting for the count, it would have been more pleasant if some had been there. If every voter was left to do his own voting, and not have a leader, a director, and perhaps an unscrupulous one, to lead, making false representations or appealing to prejudice, wonder what the results would be? . -1 i- -? men aiwuys in omce, yOU Delieve dist church was held here Saturday and Sunriav.

Therefore, under the law of our State, when the whiskey, or other intoxicating liquors is delivered to the purchaser he then becomes the owner and is in possession of the contraband, in direct violation of our statute laws. Therefore, when the United States Government officers make their sale, as soon as the stuff is put into the hands of the purchaser, you are hereby directed and commanded to immediately seize it as contraband, and if any action is brought against you, either civil or criminal, you will immediately communicate with this office ar.d I will take proper steps to have your interests protested. Won't Stand For It. "Do not fail in this matter. I desire no conflict between the State and the United States Government, but I do not propose to allow the flooding of this State with whiskey under a pretense 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 officers to any such illegal or illicit traffic and I do not propose to stand for it so far a3 I am concerned.

LETTER TO R. F. D. CARRIERS Members lJr*red to Attend Meetinsr at Chester in July?Thomas E. Wicker for President. The State is in receipt of a letter from D. C. Hayden of Orangeburg, addressed to the rural free delivery mail carriers of the State. Mr. Hayden's letter is as follows: To the Rural Carriers of South Carolina. Brethren: Greetings. What are ,-ou doing in your county toward increasing your membership? Do you know that we want the largest and best meeting at Chester in July that we have ever had? We can not accomplish this end unless you lend us a helping hand in the matter of fully organizing your county and increasing your present county membership These state meetings a-r-e^jdjmum/I very interesting "and liwfrucjlw*?^ fact, proving a veritable love feast t& all present.

F. Wicker of Newberry, a member of our organization, who has served so .'aithfully, energetically and ably for several years as our State president, and who is now chairman of the national association executive committee, will be in the race for president of the national association, and I truly believe he will be elected to this high and honored office. That Mr. Wicker is thoroughly qualified for the office can not be questioned, and his popularity in the national association was clearly demonstrated at the last national convention held at Milwaukee, Wis. Who of us in our good old State of South Carolina would feel proud to have one of her sons preside over 1 u.j.. -m 1 - viic natiuiiai uuuy 01 rurai carriers ox the United States. That there is much benefit in organization can not be questioned, not even by the sceptic. That we haVe the full sanction of the depaVtrfllfrkk that we are under has been fiilly demonstrated by their sending those at the head of the department to every meeting of the national association, and nearly always sending a representative to the State meetings. So get busy, every one of the "boys of the wagon/' and pull for a bigger, larger membership in your county organizations and send a full delegation to the State meeting at Chester in July. Hoping to see our State forge to the front, I remain, Fraternally yours, D. C. Hayden. Orangeburg.
