R. 7. Simpson of Florence will be a cam
didate for justice of the Alabama su-
preme court in the democratic primary

SELMA DRUGGISTSTO.
FIGHT SUNDAY LAW
Employ Counsel to Test
Validity of Sunday
Drug Law

Selma. November 22.-(SpeciaL)-It is
understood that the retail druggists of
Selma viii fight the state Sunday law
which prohibits the selling of anything
else than drugs This determination upon
the part of the druggists is said to have
been reached after a conference with
counsel which had been retained by them.
In his charge to the grand jury of the
circuit court of Dallas county last Mon
Gay, Judge B.. M. Miller dwelt at some
length upon the state Sunday law which
prohibits the selling of anything but
drugs. He stated to the grand jury that
Selma was the only place in his district
where the law was being violated and
thought that it should be stopped.
Friday afternoon Solicitor J. F. Thomp-
son had a conference with the druggists
of the city and it is stated he expressed
the desire that the druggists observe the
law until the first of the year To this
the druggists declined and Immediately
counsel was retained and the Sunday law
was Investigated. While no statement
has been issued by the druggists it is
that they will keep their places
of business open Sunday as usual and VIII
sell soda water, cigars and, tobacco and
other articles as usual. 1t is further
stated that if they are forced to close
they will not even sell medicine.
The probable enforcement or a strict
of the state Sunday law as
laid down before the grand jury last
Monday by Judge Miller has caused con-
siderable discussion during the week.
