The Sunday Law Question.

Ens. GAZETTE :—The above subject at
this time is causing considerable comment
and perhaps a few words upon it would
not be out of place. It has been the
cause of considerable controversy, not
only in this state but in every state where
the blue laws have had an existence. In
speaking of the subject it undoubtedly
would not be out of place to quote some of
the “blue laws,”which used to govern the
day in colonial times, as well as the
statutes that are now in use to force Sun-

 

day observance, so as to show how little
in liberality in its laws this state has pro-
gressed in the past 250 years. “The blue
laws” were as follows:

“No one shall run on the Sabbath day,or
walk in his garden, or elsewhere, except
reverently to and from meeting.

No one shall travel, cook viciuals, make
beds, sweep house, cut hair or shave on
the Sabbath day.

No woman shall kiss her child on the
Sabbath or fasting days.”

The followuig are the statutes that are
now causing the trouble among some of
our business men by their enforcement at
one end of the town, and also by mak-
ing a test case of them by the arrest of
a borough business man by a South Nor-
walk constable and, trying him before a
South Norwalk judge, which, to say the
least, is a piece of impei'tinence, as the
people of the borough ought to be fully
able to run their portion of the town with-
out outside help :

SECTION 1569.—Every person who shall

do any secular business or labor, except

works of necessity or mercy, or keep open

any shop, warehouse, or manufacturing

or mechanical establishment, or expose

any preperty for sale, or engage in any

sport or recreation on Sunday, between

sunrise and sunset shall be fined not more

than four dollars nor less than one dollar.

SEO. 1570.—Every person who shall be

present at any concert of music, dancing,

or other public diversion on Sunday, or

on the evening thereof shall be fined four

dollars.

In regard to the enforcement of these

statutes, and the way in which the city

has set to work about it, it certainly shows

an amount of intolerance that can hardly
be equalled in any community that claims
to be enlightened. Not only does it show
partiality, but it comes up to a point of
injustice. I am almost certain that the
law only needs enforcement to get it re-
pealed, and am also inclined to think that
the puritanical gentlemen, who have been
so eager for its enforcement, are of the
same mind. There is no force that is
more powerful than is invested in the
plebcian class when once exerted, and in
the enforcement of this Sunday law the
eflforts have been curtailed so that the
shoe should not pinch too hard. For this
reason they have started an entering
wedge by compelling the barbers and a
few other tradesmen to close their places
of business. The newsboys have the
privilege of delivering papers up to a cer-
tain hour, and the livery stables are
allowed to keep open all day. In this
way they have caught those who are not
rich enough to test the law by carrying it
it up before the U. S. Supreme Court to
see if it does not conflict with the U. S.
Constitution, which says that “Congress
shall make no laws ICSpecLing an estab-
lishment of religion, or the frOe exercise
thereof.” Many eminent men, well versed
in law, have asserted that Sunday being a
day of religious observance, which all
admit, it comes under that clause, and
that if Congress has not the power to
abridge the religious scruples of any
citizen neither has the state. But the best
way to test the law is for those who have
had a taste of it to make others feel its
inconvenience, VlZ: Stop the horse cars
from running by fining those who labor
on them the penalty of $4; shut up the
peanut and candy stores by fining the
owners;urrest the man who drives his
employer to church and. fine him; when
the next snow storm comes, if it should
happen on a Saturday night, arrest the
man who cleans off his sidewalk and fine
him, for it is a work of convenience and
not of necessity as people have walked
over on the snow before sidewalks were
in existence; and numerous other in-
stances could be enumerated where the
law, if rigidly enforced, would be so ob-
noxious that the mass of the people, who
have been so lethargical about it, would
soon clamor for its repeal. The only
class that favor the law are those who are
habitually inclined to interfere with other
people’s business,

Mr. Editor, in conclusion, allow me to

add that if is right to stop one business it
is right to stop all, It is hardly fair to

make one kind of sauce for the goose and

another for the gander, and no matter
what the inconvenience may be, enforce

the law to the letter or not at all. In

regard to the non-observance of Sunday
the Sunday newspaper has come in for the

largest share of the blame, but those who

have denounced it most bitterly .have

known very little about the Object of their
denunciation. They have never been

heard to condemn the Monday morning

paper, which necessitated a Sunday of

hard work to get it out, whereas the Sun-

day paper is principally gotten up during
the previous pait of the Week. All their
reasonings are based upon the same
shallow foundations, and prejudices with

them take the place of principles.

Thanking you for your courtesy in per-
mitting me to express my opinions in the
columns of your valuable paper I now
conclude with the hope that justice will
be done to all in the adminstration of the
Sunday law. JUPITER.

Twilight and Dawn-

BY JOHN H. PORTER.

Beautiful twilight, how charming thy view,

Fading away like a dream from my sight ;

Thy soft mellow light to the day bids adieu

As it peacefully unfolds the drapery of night,

Sweet songsters are nestling midst bowers of
green

While balmy ZGPI‘YIS hush them to sleep,

And glittering stars in the heavens are seen,

As o’er nature their silent watch keep.

The sweet voice of the lark welcomes the morn

As the shadow of night is lifted on high ;

All ve‘rdure refreshed with the day just born,

Resplendent in beauty like the sky ;

Roses and buds sip the fresh sparkling dew

That has lingered until dawn of day,

While the sun like a monarch, to whom hom-

age is due,

Marches triumphant in regal array,

_ Tact in Advertising.

Says the Norwich Courier: Advertising
pays. When it does not pay it is more
the fault of the advertiser than the adver-
tising medium.‘ Advertising is not the
work fora dullard. It requires frankness,
honesty, tact, originality or quaintucss.
Commonplace advertising strikes the
reader very much as any other blotch of
ink does. A good advertisement should be
founded upon honesty of purpose, should
be explicitly interesting and allowed suf-
ficient space to be attractively displayed.
Evcry promise in it should be faithfully
kept and the bargains guarenteed be real-
ized by the purchaser.

There is disaater as well as business in

printing ink! An advertisement is no place
for false pretences, no place for slander,
no place for juggling phrases or trickery
in words. The advertising of the man
who indulges in written imposture and
deceptive promises is soon found out by the
public, and his defrauded patrons see lying
across his “ed,” as plainly as if it were
stamped in flaming capitals: “lmposturc”
With such a stamp upon it advertising
does not pay. The man who by his acts
places such an imprOSSion on what he sends
our is right when he says : “Advertising
does not pay!” He should stop advertising
But he should not attribute the 130k of
virtue to printer’s ink when it is merely
the reflection of his own unreliability.
There is room for truth, for business
premises, for originality or expression, for
fine descriptive passages, for all that words
can express or imagination devise in the
advertising columns, but the promises
must be honored, and the use of language
accord with the things or bargains which
are there in set forth. Such advertising
attracts purchasers because it is interesting
and pays because it is true.
Perhaps the art of advertising was never
better illustrated than by a Boston auc-
tioneer who had in his hands for sale the
country residence of a gentleman of that
city. The gentleman instructed the auc—
tioneer, who was famous for his descrip-
tive power, to advertise his place in the
papers at private sale, but to conceal the
location and direct inquirers to his office
for terms, for he had become dissatisfied
with it. A few days later the gentleman
saw advertised in the paper at private sale
a place which just suited his fancy. The
description was read to his wife, and they
both agreed that was just the place they
wanted, and decided to secure it at once.
The auctioneer burst into a laugh when
the gentleman called and told him the
place he had advertised was such a place
as he desired, and that he would purchase
it. .
He frankly told him that advertisement
was the description of his own country
place then in his hands for sale. The gen-
tleman read over the advertisement again,
and pondered over “the grassy slopes,”
“rippling brook,” “beautiful vistas” and
“smooth lawns,” and then broke out:

“Is it possible! Well, auctioneer, make
out your bill for advertising and expenses,
for by George, I wouldn’t sell that place
now for three times what it cost me!”

As a model of the quaint style of adver-
tising the following from the Buffalo News
ranks first class :

Oh, merchant, in thine hour of e e e,

If on this paper you should cc c,

And look for something to ap p pp

Your yearning for greenback v v v,

Take our advice and now be y y y,

A silent business sOon dc k k k,

There is room for the exercise of all the
ability and latent talent there is in a man
in the ordinary business of advertising,
and the man who puts energy and truth
into his advertisement, will attracticustom-
ers to his store and dollars to his pocket.

A Woman’s Discovery.

“Another wonderful discovery has been
made, and that too by a lady in this coun-
try. Disease fastened its clutches upon
her, and for seven years she withstood its
severest tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed imminent.
For three months she coughed incessantly
and could not sleep. She bought of us a
bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, and was so much relieved
on taking first dose that she slept all night
and with one bottle has been miraculously
cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.”
Thus writes W. C. Hamrick & Co., of
Shelby, N. C.—Gct a free trial bottle at
H. R. Hale’s drug store.
