HERE SAY THEY WILL KEEP
OPEN, DESPITE LAW.

Official information was received in
Pensacola last night from Governor S.
]. Cats that no changes in the Sum
day closing regulations were conten-
plated before his visit fo this city
next week.
Acting Sheriff Mayo said last night
at the county Jail that he had receiv
ed no orders from anyone to relax the
ban, which has been placed on Sunday
operation of any business house in
Pensacola, except for the sale of alb
solute necessities.
Drug store proprietors and the
managers of several cigar stores and
soda fountains On PalefoN street as
serted last ngiht. that they would be
open Sunday and would operate their
places of business as if no ban had
ever been placed on such action. Ru-
mors have been persistent for the past
week that sanction had boon given
drug stores to operate their business
in full sway. The official information
received from the governor is a di-
rect contradiction of these rumors.
Indications at the sherife'S Office
last night were that every store pro-
prietor who attempted to operate Sun
day, in violation of County Solicttr
H. J. Mackey's orders to the contrary,
