Wwto Journal. one believeathat it is as much a desecration of the Sabbath to sell cigars snd tobacco on Sunday as it is to sell lemonade and grape juice, gives no one just eause to argue that such an one believes that the drug stores of a town should be wide open on the Sabbath day. The chief rea son for not permitting soft drinks to be sold on Sunday lies in the fact, we take it, that if they are gold the drug stores of the city will become a pleasure resort for hundreds of peo ple, which, to say the least, would be" very unseemly in an enlightened and boasted Christian nation such as ours. Bnt with the drug stores open for the sale of cigars and tobacco, pleasure resorts are furnished also. If the Sabbath day is to .be remem bered to be kept strictly holy, as the law directs, all stores must be closed, except to physicians who prescribe medicine in cases of emergency.-Alsq we would reiterate our belief that too frequent and unseemly joy-riding on the Sabbath day is just as much a desecration of the Sabbath as keep ing the drug stores open. We doubt very much if God . distinguishes be tween one and another kind of un seemly "pleasure on the Sabbath day, any more than he distinguishes be tween a dry goods and a drug store. rather Slays Son, and Cpmndts fSl Suicide: :&V--;-'-.

' '.. j ' Atlanta, April 23. Bankers and fi nanciers who have their finger on the pulse, of southern business take a roseate view this spring of the south ern, fire insurance, situation. While many fire insurance agents over the country have been disturbed by the recent failure of the American Union Fire Insurance Company, of Phila delphia, and the Monongahala Un derwritten of New York, consider- able comment favorable to the south- St "te and yet leave untouched the em companies has resulted from these international objections by the Unit two failures. cd Slates.

The 1'ies- such a way, causing loss and disas ter to policy-holders and agents. One southern company was fatally injured by the San Francisco earth quake, undoubtedly an act of Provi dence; another was wrecked after the control was gotten away from South ern" people, who formerly owned it, while the Shawnee Fire of .Kansas, own people caused them to grow others in sections away - from - the south have left a most unsavory rec ord. ' The laws of the Southern States relating to fire insurance companies and the insurance departments' are all awake to the protection of policy holders and agents, and it is an un disputed fact that a smaller propor tion: of Jihe companies' in this section than in others have failed. ' Tine' South is growing bv leaps and bounds and the fire insurance com panies of this section will, with the continued hearty p&tronasre of home people, compare most favorably with those of other sections. There is no antagonism between the South and any other section, but the south, it is pointed out, should be as wise in building up its own institutions as the east in suppoiting its institutions. They , were all of small proportions years ago and the patronage of their own . people caused thew to grow large, just as is now going on in the south. Levee Widening. Vicksburg, Miss.,- April 22.
