SUNDAY LIQUOR SELLING.
Tor months the Law against selling
liquor on Sunday has been violated In
this city almost openly, and ut present
there are but few bars in town where
q drink Is not obtainable on the Sab
bath.
The ministers OF the city, led by Rev.
Dr. j. 3. Hawthorne, pastor OF Grove
Avenue Baptist Church, have inaugu-
rated crusade which is creating con-
sternation among the liquor men.
The Ministerial Union held a meet
us tiio iiiOi iihE, WtilSll WAS largely III
tended by ministers Of NIL denomina-
tions, and the principal business done
was the discussion of the Sunday laws.
One minister said that he had count
ed forty places open one Sunday on
Broad street, aside from the drug
stores; anu another said that the po-
lice themselves acknowledge that a
large number OF bar-rooms are open on
Sunday.
IT Il INTCJJT
Rev. DR.. J. r. Haw thorne, who took
q prominent part in the discussions,
cited the vigorous action of the people
of Nashville in reference to the proper
observance of the Sunday laws.
FIe said that the -rfricff of police would
do nothing to remedy the evil, nor
would the Mayor or the Board OF Public
Works, until the citizens arose en-
masse and requested that the Governor
send troops to Nashville to enforce the
laws.
Then the Board of Public Works, a
counterpart of the Police Commission
ers here, got down to work and re-
moved the chief of police from Office
and started new regime, with the re-
suit that the Sunday laws were en-
forced and strictly observed.
