SI'IMCIMK COURT OF NORTH CAROIJNA. No 11*—Wake county State (appellant) ) vs. Giersch. ) OPINION BY MKRRIMON, •!. It appears that the pale of fpiritu li'/uors was prohibited within Raleigh township within the count \ of Wake, as provided and allowed by the Statute (the Code, sees. 3110-3- 11(1); that while the bale of such liq uor was so prohibited, the defend ant wold for ii price to a certain per son within that township one glass of lager beer and also one glass of wine, both being intoxicating liquors and containing alcohol produced by fermentation, not by distillation, and neither containing any foreign ad mixture of spirituous liquors; that at the time of such sale the defend ant had a license granted to him by the sheriff of the county named, in purauanco of an order made by the county commissioners of the same county, while the saie of tpirifuou,* li'/uors was so prohibited, purport ing to allow him to tell vinous and milt liquors within the township named, at the place where the sales mentioned were made. The defendant was indicted for so selling the lager beer and wine men tioned, and pleaded not gniltv. On the trial the jury rendered a special verdict, ttie material facts of which are above set forth. The court be ing of opinion that the sale of lager beer and wine wai not a violation of the Statute so prohibiting the sale of spirituous liyuors within the township mentioned, dnected a ver dict of not guilty to be entered, which was done, and thereupon judg ment was entered for the defendant, from which the Solicitor for the State appealed to this court. The Statute (thw Code section | 3110 : 3110) as applied in thi> case, prohibits the sale of sjiiritaous fi'/uors—BLUj spirituous liquors— within Raleigh township in the coun ty of Wake, and the question pre sented for our decision 1-v the assignment of error in the record is. what is meant by the words spirit nous liquors —any spirituous liquors is used and applied in the Statute te l>* interpreted, and particularly, does the inhibition ex tend to thw sale of wine and laj:er beer ? It is contended by the counsel for the defendant that these words ex tend to and embrace only distilled spirits ; on the other hand, the Attor ney General insists for the State, that they ere used in a comprehensive ami remedial sense, and embrace u!l kinds of intoxicating liquors, includ ; iag wine and lager beer, except in ho far as domestic wine.is expressly ex | cepted. j The term "liquoi," in its ino.-t 1 comprehensive signification, implies j fluid substances generally—such as water, milk, blood, sap, juice, but in a more limited sense and its common application, it implies spirituous fluids, whether fermented or distill ed—such as brandy. whiskey, rum. "in, beer and wine, and also ; decoctions, solutions, and the like fluids in great variety. ,i The term "spirit" or "spirits" j has a general meaning as applied to I fluids, mostly of a lighter character t than ordinary water, obtained but i not produced by distillation : but as applied particularly to liquors, thev signify the essence, the extract, the purest solution, the highly rectified spirit, the pure alcohol contained ir them. The spirit, of liquors is really the alcohol in them ; it is thi* j characteristic. tL essential lenient, that makes them spirituous —thu* j ■rites to all liquors of whatever kind j their intoxicating quality and effect. 1 Alcohol, this esnential element in all spirituous liquors, is a limpid, colorless iid. To the- taste it is hot and j undent, ami it ha* a slight and not di«=agi erable scent. It has but one source—the fermentation of sugar and saccharine matter. It comes through fermentation (, f sub stance* that contain sugar proper, or that contain starch, which may turned into sugar. All substances that contain either sugar or starch, or both, will produce it by ferment ation. It is a mistake to suppose, as many person !o, that it is re?, .y produced by distillation. It is pro duced onlv !>▼ fermentation, and the process of distillation simply serves to separate the spnit —the alcohol— from the mixture! whatever it may be, iti which it exists. That what we hare thus said is in sub-.tadce true and correct, every oim knows who is familiar with the terms defined, the nature of alcohol, t.he method of its production, and who has accurate knowledge of the wsseatial elements and qualities of spirituous liquors. "Spirituous means containing, partaking of spirit, ha\ ing the refined, strong, ardent quality of alcohol in greater or less dwgr e Hence, sjuritunus /i'/uors imply such liquors as above defined, as contain alcohol, and thus have spirit, no matter by what particular nani'j denominated, or in what liquid form or combination they may appear. Hence also. distilled liquors, fermented liquors and vinous liquors are all, alike, spiritu ous liquors. These liquors respec tively may have different degrees of spirit in point of fineness and •trength. Pistilied liquors may be stronger or weaker according to the quantity and quality of the alcohol in them, and so of the other kinds mentioned. We know from common obser vation and knowledge, and it is a generally admitted physical fact, not denied in this case, that beer and irin« contain alcohol, and gener ally in such quantity and degree as to produce intoxication. These liquors ;.re therefore spirituous and obviously come within the meaning and are embraced by the words "spirituous liquors as used in the Statute, unless there is something in the latter that shows that these words were intended to have a more ; limited application, and to exclude such beer and wine. The closest reasonable scrutiny of the Statute, its terms, phraseology, connections and purposes shows no j such narrow application of the woid ; •• spirituous liquors employed in it, ias to exclude such be«r and wine. But nc think the contrary plainly appears. The terms used are severally and taken together broad and sweeping, not exceptive or limiting, 'but in ft single respect j presently to be mentioned; and the ! ! manifest purpose is to prevent and ! suppress drunkenness and the atten- j dint evils produced by the free use of intoxicating spirituous liquors. The term.-, are not "auv distilled i spirituous liquors. not " any | j fermented spirituous liquors, but. j they are " spirituous liquors and ; ; " (in >/ spirituous liquors. How ■ j sweeping ! The purpose being obvious, the , language of the Statute, its parts j and its whole, must receive stfeh rea : sonnble interpretation as wtll effect ! uate the purpose. This is the rule of interpretation of constant applica tion to all statutes, whatever their nature or purpose. /Tints rs. Ruil nrK?, 95 A". ('■ 4:?4. Here, there U ! no need of strained interpretation ojf terms or phraseology or purpose. These ftie plain, easily seen and un derstood As we have seen, "spirituous liq ' uors" embrace lager beer and wine bv reason of their nature and the ef | facts produced by the use of them. If the purpose of the Statute is to | prevent drunkenness by prohibiting ' the salw of spirituous liquors, is it not plain to the mind of the simplest observer that such purpose would only be partially served by prevent ing the sale of only distilled liquors? . Fermented and vinous liquors, lager beer and wine, are spirituous liquors, i and produce intoxication and drunk i enness as certainly at distilled li i the like effect. It l j the greater quantity r | °' do so. Can it be said, "Iblchorv, "Worth CaroliT, ifrursfrav?. gcccmbcr22, Ifrtw. i ,'f r»-ason, that th« w.lu any snow o ' I, • , i l have intended to J Jegistature we i- , » pntl binder its pur crnqne. prevent t . ■ iji ir tie ea'e of one pose by pro..ibiti *> e . .;„„*.injr spirituous liqu kind of mtoxicat* «■> i 1 orij and and not «»°ther!

The presumpt* on ib ' il intended to j futber and not hinder j and defeat, itsf I jlß in purjsjse. And. this is madettiep e wme """'ifest by an . exceptive pro^' s ' on to do- ; mestic ll ■W'Ufuetuied in tiiis j State from ce^ :i * n fruits mentioned, j It is express- I }' provided in section . .'5llO of the f,K' ctiou s cited above, that j such domest- c wi, ies may be sold "in j bottles cork.jd or sealed up, and not j to be drunk' on the premises," .Vc. ; But, it is further provided, that no j person shall) " ho 1! aII - T of said wines to any perse, 1 x? ho is a eiinor, and, j moreover, t^' H exception does not ex- j tend "to *^ ljfs %, bich contain any j foreign a d®»i*tuie of spirituous li quors, only apply to such wines as d then ai dc nt spu 11 from vinoiij B fermentation." This ex^ e P^ v ® provision is very si r n icant vaiious aspects of it. | It points h y necessary implication to the pur P ose )e Statute to pre vent drui. kenness, in that, such vrine, domestic w ' n e, that has no foreign admixtnrf of spirituous Ulnars shall not be dif on premises when it is solcir And to prevent this, it, must bo 'corked or sealed in bottles. Now, wlf? these cautionary regula tions if ' n °t intended to prevent ex cessive prinking, drunkenness, aris in" frota *' lo usc any*pirituon*li 'jitnr* i >ven domestic wine? If ,> oo i,,fJ 4 nded that ferine ntetL^s'TT was uens lit flToT's generally might be sold, why welro they not excepted? Why were m»t lager beer and light wines genera'lly excepted? Why except only domestic wines, the sale of which is so cautiously guarded ? I' ur Iher, if the terms "spirituous li quors/ as used in the Statute embrace only (listilled liquors, then this cau tious lexeeptive provision is wholly meanijngless and nugatory; in that case, fit serves no purpose at all, be- j caus.f, without it all fermented li quor/s might be sold. Can any intel liyei t mind believe the legislature iutei ided this provision should be thus meaningless? Surely not. And treating it as serving the intel ligent purpose plainly specified, docs it ul)t show, beyond serious question, 111 aft the terms spiritous liquors so i:>rld in the Statute were not intend ed [to embrace only distilled Jiquer.-,? ; It cannot be said that this exception, | of the Statute in question is, by mis take, as suggested. It was enacted ■ at the sessiou of the General Assem ! !>'. y of 1874'-7~>, and it lias been cf tl e Statute in its pres-eilt cennection si nee ISSH, and tho legislature has ii ot repealed or modified it. although it, lias repeatedly amended the Stat ute in other respectf. j We may advert jfi this connection ko the general fact common knowl j jedge that the legislature, the legal •profession and the people generally ! 'who took note yf tho subject, under l) stood that the 'inhibition of the Stat- I ute in que-tiori extended te ferment ed as well as/distilled liquors.

ThA learned , ceunsel for the the ar jument before us. seeing the forci >f this case, contended that it is not satisfactory and ou-ht to be lisre garded. We cannot hesitate to thitik otherwise, because of the brief, cogent reasons stateil in the opinion, j as well as tlie reasons stated above. The decision is authority, not to be , ! disregarded for light or even plausi- j b!e reasons It was made by a very | able court, and the able Judge who wrote the opinion was a learned law yer, familiar with the legislative and I statutory law of this State, and he I was as well a scholar familinr with ! the nature, meaning, power and com- j pass of words, whethtr applied in - statute or otherwise. It was likewise contended on the I argument that the inhibition suit > / could not be treated as ex tending to/ all liquors that contained spirit, b*/ | cause very many liquors contain sf ;) i small a j>eicentage of alcohol ns tif,j |it is scarcely perceptible; that the/ u i , hibition only applied to > tilled liquors, and therefore ii/,( jo • lager beer or wine.

This appears from the nature, terms and purpose of such Statutes, and the causes of i common knowledge that give rise to their enactment. i It may be added that the General Assembly, at its session of 1-SB7, , recognized the statutory provision under consideration as having the meaning we attribute to it, and acted upon it. The Statute (acts 1887, ch 1 sec. Ill), among other things, i provides that licenses, as prescribed therein, shall be granted to sell spir ' itous liquors, both fermented and distilled, "except in teiritory where the sale of liquors is prohibited by law. " Within such territory license ; shall not 1 e granted. Why this broad restriction, if. by the law prevailing at the time of thi -> enactment, fermented might be sold within the territory where the sale of spirituous liquars was prohibited, i and the Legislature so understood? ' This view of this Statute just cited ' was suggested and acted upon by > the Chief Justice in re (ii'rsrh be fore him and decided 1 y him at ] chambers in June of the present year. ■ It is not to be supposed that the Legislature acted unadvisedly and ' in ignorance of the law -, the pre sumption is to thp contrary. W'e do not deem it at all uecessrry to advert here to numerous statutoi v provisions in various connections cited on both sides of the argument as indicating the legislative intent, in re«pect to liquors both fermented arid distilled, as to the sale or to the pre hibition of the sale thereof, under varying conditions /ftM 1 "V'rrTf?!,-1™ stances. In 0 f them, it is clear j that the ten Jg "spirituous iiquors ' I I embrace fTnly distilled liquors; in j others, on j T fermented liquors: in! others. L'u of intoxicating li-1 embraced. They da not i to strengthen or impair in any ; IJraterial degree the force of what we rhave said. The strength of the argument for the defendant consisted mainly in the citation of numerous decisions of courts of great respectability in other States, in which it was held that the term "spirituous liquors" I did not embrace fermented liquors & most of the cases cited, it was so. decided; in a few, it is decided otherwise. liut it must be said that all these cases applied to particular statutes construed by the courts deciding tbem respectively, and certainly do not apply to tke particular statute and its pecu.iai features that we are called upon to interpret, and as to which - clear and satisf^^U|^^|lMLy Even if these c fts o S were raore in poin than they are./ would not feel a liberty or be/j m .]j ne d to ignore, vir 111 filly overry,] # a p] a in Jecison al most JU point of our owl court, in t^ e light of which the stat ute bt fori us ST;I9 euacted. an J from , time to y mie amended. Nor could , we eseaM ( , e strength of argument iin every aspect of the ease, which I tjas ledi u> to t i je conclusion we have I reaeh^i follows as a consequence that t' ir Supposed license relied upon by tl j «f defendaut was ineffectual and The county commisaersion' ' 1 'id no authority to make an order greeting the sheriff to grant it, aud jfhe latter had no such autlioiity. t There is therefore eiTor. The judgment must be reversed, the verdict of not guilty entered upon the special »erdict pet aside, and the vereict of guilty thereupon entered and further proceedings had iu the action according to law. To that end let this opinion be certified to the Superior Court. It is so order ed. The lCdtior in l.uck. The good book has said that it is nut well for man to be alone. It has been saying so for about 2000 yearn more or less, but it was only yester day that we coaceded that such in deed was the case and proceeded to get us a wife.

Need we sav that the moon looked down with watery yres through the dark, sway ing boughs of the oak' Need we say that fair head nestled upon our editorial shoulders, and she said she would be ours? No! but such was the case, and to night we are a married man. The ceremony ? Who can tell nbout itj?, There was the parson— no promised him £2; there was the bride, all white flubduds and veils and flowers, and ribbons and smiles and there was we—the whole is summed up in the confession that we hereby bieathe forth to the brethren of the press—we are no longer we—we are us.—E.'igle Gulch \\ arwhoop.
