Judge j. NJ. johnson, a jurist of Mis-
souri,, has declared that Sunday newspa-
pers are illegal and that advertising con-
tracts for Sunday journals are void.
This does not necessarily mean that
Judge Johnson is a strict S~abbatarian, it
simply means that this is the law in Mis-
souri,. And If 1t is law in Missouri it Is
law in South Carolina, too.
And why not? Why not have some
metes and bounds in our observance of the
holy day?

Georgia is agitating the observance OF a
day ms Health Day. There is no doubt
more reason for making such an obser-
vance than there is for observing many or
the holidays that we have at present.
The News and Observer thinks that there
will not be any holidays fifty years hence
not even Sundays, if people continue 10
k ccp Sunday as they do at present.

During the last few months there has been

TINS new venture is OF great Importance

cotton already shipped from Rhodesia, it

force them to be the mere puppets Of a de-
