"BLUE I.AW" NEXT Sf'ND A Y [governor's Order Will Reach Every I Town and II am let (Tuesday's Columbia Stale) 1 xtat Sunday Columbia experienced 1 ii "blue" Sunday. It was "bluer" in f Columbia than in many a long yea-, i Dozens of other towns weie no 1 "bluer" than ordinarily. t Hut next Sunday the "blueneas," which prevailed in Columbia last i Sunday, is to be extended over the i entire state, according to the plans \ of Governor John G. Richards. I In Columbia drug stores were shut r, light; soft drink emporiums present- i ed blunk doors to the thirsty; shoe- i shine parlors proffered no comfort to the churchgoer who had hurried away I from home with his shoes in more or c less disreputable condition. Filling 1 stations were as deserted" as a swim- I miiig pool in midwinter. All because 1 the governor had his "law enforce- ) mcnt" program going strong in the ? Capital City. Next Sunday not only will Colum- \ bia get her second taste of the opera- .? Lion of the centuries' old "blue laws,"' t but other towns, too, will feel their r effects. t Letters sent out yesterday from the governor's office to every sheriff | in the Palmetto state contain the fol- c owing significant clause: "We have c ill grown more or less careless about s Sabbath observance ... I am urging f hat you use the same diligence in i he enforcement of our Sabbath obtervance laws that you give to the 1 ither la.ws of the state." t The full text of the letter follows: 1 "I feel sure that I'll have your t ull co-operation in' my endeavor to nforce the laws of our state. It is \ lot my purpose to single out any f special law for more rigid enforcenent than another, but to use every \ iroper means to enforce all the laws i Vlth uniformity and earnestness. > "We have all grown more or less i :areless abodt Sabbath observance, | ind the law governing our conduct on < ;hat day, therefore I am urging that you *- use the same diligence \n the enforcement of our Sabbath observ- i ance laws that you give the other i laws of the state. i "I am making this appeal to all : the law enforcement officials of South Carolina." That the gtand the governor has taken for the observance of the Sunday laws has met with favor in manyparts of the state has been evidenced by the numerous letters and telegrams, expressing pleasure at the course he is pursuing, which have been received. It was said at the governor's office yesterday that one letter had been received criticizing his course?that letfer was anonymous, the writer leaving it unsigned. Broke Up a Still Co-operating- with Carlos A. Rector and Tom Cunningham, from the governor's office, Sheriff J. H. McLeod and Jailor Alex Boone, went into the West Wateree soction, near the Richland county line Thursday morning last and destroyed a^iopper still, estimated capacity 75 gallons. Five barrels of mash ready for distillation and eight empty barrels were also destroyed. The officers located one quart of whiskey nearby in the woods. The still was found within 300 yards of the site of a large one destroyed several years ago. Two more barrels of mash were found at a place abbut five miles distant from where this still was dc, strpyed but no still was found. No arrests were made at either place.

Birchmore, editor of The Messenger of this city, was called to < Maxeys, Georgia, Sunday to attend ' the funeral of his brother which oc- ' eurred at that place on Saturday. 1 1'he following account ?\/ his death is < taken from The Messenger of Tues- ' day: i "Mr. Thomas Kdwin Birchmore, brother of the editor of The Messenger, and father of II. 11. Hirchmore, who for some years resided in Camden, died at his home in Maxeys, Ga., between six and seven o'clock Saturday morning. His death came without warning. He retired the night before feeling about as well as usual, but appeared to be a bit restless through the night and early Saturday morning us he sought to make himself comfortable his wife asked him what was the matter and he told her hu had a headache, and she saw at once that his condition whs serious and began using such remedies as ifht had at hand, in the meantime sum- , moning a doctor, hut before he could teach him he hud passed away. Mr. Birchmore was the second of a family of four sons, and was born in Camden on November 21, 1850, and was therefore in the 77th year of his age at the time of his death. The oldest brother, \V; C. Birchmore, of Comer. (Ja., died several years ago. He also has a brother, H. C. Birchmore, residing in Los Angeles, Cnl. "When a young man,.Mr, Birchmore decided to cast his lot with the people <>1 Georgia* and went to Maxeys where his elder brother was residing. That was about fifty years ugo. He had at that time a fine young saddle horse and i ado the animal to Georgia. He was always fond of horses ami he rode horseback to his place of"*busincss quite frequently, although he had passed his three score years and ten. He married a Georgia lady, Miss Jessie Cone, and by this union seven sons and one daughter were born. Five of the sons died. His wife died about twenty years ugo. He afterwards married Miss Martha* Vaughn, i who with one daughter survives him, and two sons and one daughter by his first marriage. "When a young man while residing in Camden he joined the Camden Bapti?t church, lie later obtained a letter of dismissal from the church here , and put it in the church at Maxeys, I which he aided very materially in building. The funeral services were conducted by his pastor, who paid him a fine tribute, nfter which the Masons took charge of the services and his body was interred with Masonic honors. Although the day was bitter cold, many friends from a distance tcame to pay a tribute to the memory of one whom they had known for years. The floral tributes were beautiful, bearing testimony to the esteem in which he was held." I)r.

Dunn, for the Committee' on Civic Improvement, offered ?' number of, worth-while suggestions! and these wore uccepted us favorable, among the recommendations being an appropriation for pine tree planting and seed beds. 1 he board favored enactment of laws whereby industries ?. Ideating within the county would be exempt fiom taxation where total investment represented any amount up to $100,-! 000. In keeping with the same line1 of thought for progressive legislation a special committee was appointed by President Henry Savage, Jr., to In- j vestigate possible road paving funds' as is now reported to "be available! through an arrangement with the1 state highway department.

I he secretary's letter, copies of which were forwarded the state press, is as follows: "At a meeting Monday night, the ^ oung Men's Business league of Camden unanimously went on record as disapproving of the present afitl?luated Sabbath laws and expressed their desire (hat the legislature modify the said law by modernizing it so us to permit the sale of 1927 necessities on Sunday, for example, gasoline and ice,1 and to further permit participation in innocent sports on Sunday, for example, golf and other private, inoffensive, non-commercialized games. It was the opinion of this organization that the laws as they are now enforced bring no particular benefits but on the contrary create serious inconveniences in view of changed conditions of life since their enactment, furthermore, the existing laws will make the state a subject of nationwide ridicule unless reformed." On the same evening as the Business League's meeting was held the James ^roy Belk Post No. 17 of the American Legion assembled nnd, in protest of threatened enforcement of the Puritanical regulation, likewise issued to public, press and legislative delegation the following resolutions over the'Signatures of Hughey Tindal, commander, and F.

Richards, has seen fit to resurrect and attempt to enforce certain antequated, and under modern conditions, unreasonable laws,, commonly known to the public as Sunday blue laws which have been on 'our statute books practically unchanged since 1641 and certainly unenforced for several decades; and "Whereas we feel that such an enforcement of unreasonable and useless laws will not only bring oui state into disrepute and ridicule but will seriously interfere with arid impede the orderly progress of our mod ern methods oMiving and will causi altogether unnecessary inconvenient and dissatisfaction without resulting ; in any-definite good; .therefijTe "Be it resolved that we the mem bers of the James Leroy Belk Post No. 17, of the American Legion as sembled at Camden, S.
