The Closing Law.

on the Sunday Closing
Act.

Attorney General Geo. W.
Murphy has decided that the
Sunday closing law will apply to
all class of>business, and thaton-
Iy in case Of charity or necessity
can any goods ofwhateyer nature
be sold. This means the closing
Of restaurants, drug stores, re-
freshing stands and everything
else, in case the prosecuting at
torney is disposed to consrue
the law technically. This is an
nounced in the following letter to
J. H, MalIoy, Of BerryyilIo, Car
roll county, in roponse to a ques-
ton on the subject:
81 have yours Of the 11th inst
asking about the law against
Sabbath breaking, and especially
drug stores and confections,
The law against keeping open on
Sunday says any store A drug
| store is a store. Again it pro-
/ hibits retailing any goods.
/ Bananas, ice cream and confec-
tions are goods, The exception
is selling through charity or
necessity on the part Of the GUS
toner. If one is sick, the drug
gist may sell him needed medi-
cine. The dry goods merchant
may sell material to enshroud the
dead. The confectioner or res
tauranter may sell to one suffer-
ing for a meal, or perhaps need
ing it. The charity or necessity
is on the part Of the customer
The exception is for the custom
er, but not for the seller. The
owner of bananas and perishable
things cannot lawfully sell them
on Sunday to avoid their loss
You had better, however, consul
the prosecuting attorney Of your
district, as he has the princi-
pal voice, perhaps the sole voice,
; as to whether prosecutions in
such cases will be instituted"
