SUNDAY CLOSING ORDERED.
Wilmington Stirred Over the Fact
That Only Ice and Medicines
May be Sold ON the
Sabbath

Especial to News and Observer
Wilmington, n. c., Aug. 9.-Unless
the city council holds a meeting in
the meantime and repeats the ordi-
nance, which is highly probable, Will
mington, on Sunday will join the list
of towns and cities in North Carolina
already under the blue laws" Upon
complaint of a cigar dealer that the
sale of cigars by the drug stores on
Sunday when he is not allowed to
keep open is injurious to his business,
the mayor issued an order today that
in the future only the sale of medicines
and ice will be allowed in any place
on Sundays under penalty of a fine of
$25. There is already an ordinance
on the books against the sale of any
articles except medicines and ice on
Sunday, but since the time when the
memory of man runneth not to the
contrary" the law has never been en-
forced. The drug store proprietors in
the face of an enforcement of the or
der threaten to close their places al
together on Sundays, as the bare sale
of medicines will not justify them In
keeping open. The city at large is
considerably agitated over the order,
and strong pressure will be brought
to bear upon the city council for Il
repeal of the ordinance.
