roustlIutiOnaIily Upheld by The Court Of
Criminal Appeals.
DRUGGISTS ARE RIGHTfUlly EXEMPTED
SO Far rs They Deal In Those Thirms
which Are of Common Me-
ccssity.

Austin, Texas, June 21,--Today In the
case OF G. l.. searcy vs. State of Texas.
appealed from Karnes county to the court
OF criminal appeals, questioning the con-
stitutionality OF the Sunday law. the court
rendered an opinion holding the law TO BIO
constitutional.
searcy was convicted OF selling liquor
on Sunday and was fined $40 and appealed
the case to the court OF criminal appeals.
review OF the case shows that searcy
made motion to quash the indictment
and arrest the Judgment on the grounds
that the statute constituting this an Of
Tense together with the succeeding statute,
article eco of the Penal Code, making cer-
tam exemptions, is unconstitutional In
tnat the exemption from the operations
OF the law Of keepers OF drug stores. etc.
Is personal exemption In favor of such
citizens and authorizes them to deal IL
GOODS, wares and merchandise that other
citizens are inhibited from dealing In.
IL this were correct construction and in
depreciation OF the law. holds the oourt
his contention would be sound, but we do
not so regard 1t. The exemption IS we
coistrue 1t is in favor of articles sold by
the persons who deal in such article and
~ was not only competent for the iegis-
lature to pass the Sunday law bur the
legislature was also authorized under its
police power to exempt articles of ne =
chendise as common necessities, the sale
OF which should not be forbidden by law.
Drugs and medicines were very properly
placed In this category, and the keeper of
drug store is authorized to sell drugs
and medicines, but not other goods that
do not belong in this class. We might
take judicial cognizancr that certain ar
ticles are drugs and medicines, but this
is often question of proof, Whisky Is
not ordinarily placed in this category, but
is regarded as beverage aud comes with
in the inhibited articles. There is no
pretense here that same was sold as a
medicine or by a druggist.
The fact that article 1877 of the code
Of 1876 was not brought forward by the
codlfyers in the new code makes no diff
ference in the construction above placed
on said articles. 1t Is our duty even II
there were any difficulty as to the con-
struction of this article to uphold It as
constitutional, If the matter Is of doubtful
import, as It will be presumed that the
legislature did not intend TO violate the
constitution passing the article in ques-
tion and that construction should be
given it that will uphold its constitution
ality. We do not believe, however. that
there is any difficulty in regard TO the
construction we have placed on this ar
ticle and in our view the court did not err
: In overruling the motion TO quash or In
arrest Of judgment on the ground that
the act was unconstitutional.
There being no error in the record the
! judgment is affirmed.
