Over in Cherokee county and es-
pecially around the town of Blacks
burg, people are determined that the
law against Sunday selling shall be en-
forced. Blacksburg, 1t is understood,
| is more or less wide open on Sunday,
especially SO far as the sale Of gaso-
line is concerned. In its final present
ment handed to the sessions court in
Cherokee last Tuesday, the grand jury
included the following: I'm our last
recommendation to this honorable
court, We recommended that the prac
tice of selling goods on Sunday be
stopped. We understood that it has
been observed to a great extent and
there are only few places in the
county that are still violating this law.
We recommend that the sheriff see
that this law is enforced, especially in
BiackSburg, where we understand that
the town authorities elbow gasoline to
be sold on Sunday"
