Measures '"H ,i • ——l—tv ■t 3 I have been iYrttoduced m the legislature at various times, in recent years to effect the change, only to meet with failure. Commercialized amusements are not permitted in the State now, by general interpretation of the laws, but in a great many places soft drinks, cigars and cigarettes, and gasoline have been sold without restriction. Many of the smaller towns, howevet, have ordi nances prohibiting the selling even of these articles. Motoring, swimming in season and golfing constitute the only sports gen erally participated in on Sundays. Last week, Governor Richards said he had instructed his constables to enforce all laws, including the Sunday laws, but there were no reports made of their activities. Mayor L. B. Owens of Columbia, to night announced that he would coop erate with the governor in the en forcement of the law in Columbia to the best of his ability. He stated that he would call in the city attorney next week for a conference with him re garding the city ordinances along the same line. The Sunday laws have in recent years been more or less generally dis regarded in the State. The oldest of tlpese laws was enacted in 1611 it is said, and provides: “Penalty for working on Sunday. No tradesman, artificer, workman, la borer, or other person whatsoever, shall do or exercise any worldly labor, business of work of their ordinary calling upon the Lord’s Day (common ly called the Sabbath), or any part thereof (work of necessity or charity only excepted), and every person be ing of the age of fifteen years or up wards offending, shall, for every such offense, forfeit the sum of $1.00.” The laws regarding the observance of the Sabbath, including the one above quoted, are found in sections 713, 714, 715, 716, 717, 718, and 719 of the criminal code of 1922. Oth ers provide: “Penalty for selling goods on Sun day. No person or persons' whatso ever shall publicly cry, show forth or expose for sale any wares, merchan dise, fruit, herbs, goods or chattels whatsoever, upon the Lord’s Day, or any part thereof, upon pain that every person so offending shall forfeit, the same goods so cried, or showed forth, or exposed for sale. “Public sports prohibited on the ~ ^ ^ ^ ^ ~ ^ Lord’s Day.
