Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We think it is clear that the Act of 1949, supra, was intended to supplement section 275, Title 14, Code, which prohibits the operation of a lottery anywhere in the State in recognition of the prohibitions of section 65 of the Constitution. Of course the legislature should be solicitous to aid in enforcing that stat ute in all parts of the State and not more so in centers of large population. The same considerations apply to such effort in all parts of the State alike so far as we can see.””
