Alabama Court of Appeals March 22, 1927, 7 Div. 300. (Everett v. State)

RICE, J.

When the statute (Code 1923, § 5539) provides that “Any person who * * * being a merchant or shopkeeper, druggist excepted, keeps open store on that day [Sunday], must be fined,” etc., we think it applies to all alike; that is, that whether or not any person is such “merchant or shopkeeper” is to be determined solely from the deeds committed on the sacred day.
