Code of Maryland, Edition of 1924, title "Licenses, " sib-title
"Traders, " be, and the same is hereby repealed and re-enacted,

43. When any person, body politic or corporate shall pro-
pose to sell or barter, or dispose of, or offer for sale anything
mentioned in the preceding section, except spirituous or fer-
mented liquors, he shall apply to the clerk of the circuit court
for the county in which he proposes to carry on such selling*
or bartering, or disposing of goods, wares, chattels or mer-
chandise; or if he proposes to carry on such selling or barter-
ing, or disposing of goods, wares, chattels or merchandise in
the City of Baltimore, to the clerk of the Court of Common
Pleas for a license therefor; and a license to offer for sale
issued by said clerk of Court of Common Pleas or by the
clerk of the circuit court for any county shall be good and
sufficient as a license to offer for sale in every part of the

thereof to open or carry on any store or fixed place of business
for such selling or offering for sale in any place other than in
the place of business designated in said license and in the
application therefor, it being intended hereby that a separate
trader's license shall be obtained for each store or fixed place of
business; but no license to trade or to sell spirituous or fer-
mented liquors shall be issued by any clerk of a court to a feme
covert, or to any person under the age of twenty-one years,
without the special order of a judge of said court; and no judge
shall give such special order to issue such license to sell spiritu-
ous or fermented liquors to a feme covert, or person under the
age of twenty-one years, unless upon the recommendation of at
least ten respectable freeholders residents of the ward or district
wherein said license would be operative; and whenever any li-
cense shall be issued to a feme covert or minor, the said feme
covert or person under the age of twenty-one years shall be re-
