Our publication of the new Drug
law aud our remarks in regard to Drug
gists selling intoxicating liquors ille-
gally, raised quite hutter in certain
quarters last week, ana it was evident
that the shot hit in the right place and
brought down the game. We have
been told that il was common practice
tice for the Drug Stores to violate the
law in Richmond, us well as other
places in the county, and our efforts
were simply directed toward these vic
latOrs of the law. We remarked last
week that the man who wanted TO
conduct lawful business and live in
side the law did not object to being
watched, as he had nothing to fear, but
the man who is trying to make money
10y an illegitimate and unlawful sale OF
Intoxicating liquors in Drug Store, Is
the man who objected to being watched
and sure enough, at least one Of this
class of men in Richmond kicked like
bay steer, at our article, and marked
himself before the world as violatoI
of law. Recollect gentlemen that il
won't do you any good TO abuse the
editor Of the DEMOCRAT, because he
has standing in Ray county, that
your puny efforts TO damage amounts
to nothing. Keep yourself inside the
law and you will have no occasion t.
object to what we say on this subject
We had no more to do with making tn,
law than you had, but as a good either
we feel 1t to be our duty to assist il
enforcing the laws on our statue,
books. We have no spite at the Drug
gists in Richmond, in fact there is no
a man in the business here that w
have a personal dislike for, or a maj
that we would refuse to do a favor TO
II it was in our power. But we are Il
favor of a strict enforcement Of tn
law, and the Druggist who wants I
sell liquor promiscuously should tax

pose, AT the present rate OF Dram

shop in Richmond $3.50 per year. an

Ciim bing on the Cars.

The section Of law in reference to
persons climbing on cars, while in mo-
tion. reads as follows:
SEC. lGil. If any person. minor or
adult, shall climb upon, hold to, or in
any manner attach TO any locomotive.
engine or car, while the same shall be
i'm motion, or running into or through
any city or town in this State, he shall
be deemed guilty of misdcmeanor;
provided, that this section shall not
apply to any employ of the railroad CON-
pany, nor to any passenger, nor TO any
other person who may be acting by
permission or under the rules of the
company then operating the road.
We advise careful reading of the
above by such men and boys as in the
habit of lying around depots and jump
ing on moving trains. Some boys in
Richmond were indicted for the Offense
some time ago, but sickly spirit of
sentimentality succeeded in getting
them free. The prospect are that the
next lot found guilty will not get of
so easily rs the law is n plain one, and
a violation of it can only be willful.
