'XL (Beep Xritb titexBufo Sl'NDAY "BM F LAWS" HAVE * BEEN HERE A LONG TIME Sunday so-called "blue laws" are not a modern invention. Ri?quiring storekeepers and other workers to observe the Sabbath is not a new idea in North Carolina, for long ago the colonial legislature attempted to regulate the morals of the inhabi-1 tants. In 1715 a law was passed un der the title, "An Act for the Better Observing of the Lord's Day Called Sunday." The author of the colonial "blue law" stated that neglecting observ miri' nf tin* bird's Day yens likely In; cause impiety to grow "to a very great height, if not timely prevent ed." The first requirement of the act was that "all and every person ami persons whatsoever shall on ev-1 ery lord's Day apply themselves to the holy observation thereof." r^o tradesman, .artificer, workman, lab-) >rer, or any other person was per mitted to "exercise any worldly la bour. business or work of their or dinary railings." Hunting and fish ing were prohibited. The fine for each offense was ten shillings. "Works of necessity and charity" were the only Sabbath labors ex cepted in the bill that tried to pur ify the Lord's Day. There was a ten shilling fine for any person whatsoever'' who traded i with a Iniat or canoe on Sunday. A similar fine was set for any ordinary or punch-house keeper who was found guilty of selling "wine, beer, punch, or other liquors on the Lord's Day." i ne original act regulating Sunday activities included more than busi ness transactions and labor. There was an expressed effort toward sup pressing "divers other vicious and enormous crimes." The price paid by "a private person" for profane swearing and cursing was the sum of two shillings and six pence for every oath or curse. It is interesting to note Ibal officers found guilty faced a fine of twice that set for a non-office-holder. Too, it was con sidered a worse crime to use pro fane language in the court room, for "he or she" was required to pay the double fine of five shillings immed* iately or be set in stocks for the space of three hours. Whiskey drinkers were not over looked for the concluding paragraphs of the act stated: "Whereas the od Morgan in the Navy Junius S. Morgan, son of the finan cier and a ret#ran of the World War, has been called to active duty in the United States Naval Reserve with the rank of lieutenant com mander. He reported at the 3rd Naval District in New York City. He is on a leave of absence without pay from his poaition as viee-presi dent of J. P. Morgan and Co.

" Drunk persons paid a fine of five shillings for every such offense; but Sunday drinking was considered a greater crime and cost twice much, ten shillings. ed in thai certain special proceed- j ings pending in the Superior Court of Martin County entitled: "Millie Barrow White and Mary Barfow widow, and others vs. Annie Bar row Gordon," same being a partition proceedings, the undersigned Com missioner will on Monday, the 9th day of February, 1942, at twelve (12) o'clock Noon, at the Courthouse door of Martin County, Williamston, North Carolina, offer for sale, at public auctin, to the highest bidder, for cash, the following described real estate, to-wit: A certain tract of land in Williams Township, Martin County, North Carolina.
