Louis Brandeis

“ A state, having the power to forbid the manufacture, sale, and possession of liquor within its borders, may, if it concludes to exercise the power, obviously postpone the date when the prohibition shall become effective, in order that those engaged in the business and others may adjust themselves to the new conditions. Whoever acquires, after the enactment of the statute, property thus declared noxious, takes it with full notice of its infirmity and that after a day certain its possession will, by mere lapse of time, become a crime. ”

“ State, 120 Ga. 196, 197, 47 S. E. 573. Consequently the question is not before us (Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co. v. Woodford, 234 U.S. 46, 51, 34 Sup. Ct. 739, 58 L. Ed. 1202) , and on it we express no opinion. ”
