MOHE LEGISLATION WANTED
AGAINST THE CONCEALED
WEAPON.
One of the most seiious and
'perplexing problems with which
the South has to contend is tin
provalent pistol toting habit
Probably a majority of the
Homicides and shooting scrapes
yearly occurring are directly
due to the ever ready revolver
concealed about the person.
Is there no way of legislating
the concealed deadly weapon
out of existence? We sincerely
-trust so. South Carolina has
tred several laws against tin
'evil, but without appreciate
success. The present law
seems to be but little, if any,
improvement on its predecessors
Why not try something more
drastic? Why not make th*
penalty for carrying a concealed
deadly weapon bo severe that no
man will dare violate the law?
There is no question about
the fact that this pistol-toting
business is a grave menace to
the very civilization of this
-country, and such being the
case, we believe that the legisla
ture would be fully warranted
in enacting whatever law may
bo necessary to suppress it. If
it cannot be stopped in any
other way make the punishment
a term in the penitentiary,
and give the otlicers of the law
4he right to search persons suspected
of carrying conce led
deadly weapons.
^The Columbia Record calls
option to a bill now pending
e the legislature, introduc3t
year, which it. says in the
ofi of many would, if en
// _1 . *
. - ao more gooa in sup^g
the carrying of conceal?apons
than any other
ne yet suggested." The
? is modeled, the Record says,
..er the law of the District of
r" Columbia, and it further says
I that "this law is being adopted
in various states because it has
proven so effective in the district."
The main provisions of
the law are given by the Record
. follows :
It shall be unlawful for any
person to carry concealed pis
tols, dirks, daggers, razors,
brass knucks, etc. It shall be
unlawful to carry such weapons
t
openly and a violator shall be
subje t to a fine of not mor.
than $50u or less than $100, o
imprisonment for not more than
one year or less than sixty days
The usual punishment now is
$25 fiue. The weapons may,
however, be carried on ono?t
own premises or by police of
ficers. '1 here is a gradual in
crease in punishment for second
ana third ottenses.
It is provided, further, tha
i the foregoing provisions shall
1 not apply to persons who shal
be granted permission to carry
such weapons by a ciicuit
judge, jus'ice of the suprem*
court, or any two magistrates 111
the same county, sitting togeth
er, and authority is given thesi
oihcials to grant such permis
>ion for thirty days upon sa'is
factory proof furnished by toe
applicant that there is some
necessity for carrying such
weapons. A bond will be re
quited for keeping tlie peace
the weapon to be used only in
sell detense.
It is provided that no one
may deal in such weapons it
any way. exce| t those granted j
license by munic pal council
who shall also give bond fo<
f ! i 1 f 1 r e i 1
I Hiii] rui periormmice 01 ui<
terms of the license. E ?cl
lie use shall keep a written re
gister of the name, residence
and proximate size and appear
ance of eacli buver, barterer
I '
1 hirer', borrower, donor, togethe'
with lull description ot aucl
weapon, which register shall be
open always to Hie inspection
, ot sheriff* and other lawful of
lieers. Reports must be made
to the sheriff each month, undei
oath, and to the chief ot police
of the records contained in the
register, and violation* of this
provision shall subject the viola
tor to a fine ot $100 or imprisonment
lor thirty days.
A careful examination and
study of this bill raay enable
our legisku rs to even improve
on its provisions. At all events
it is to be hoped that there will
be something done about the
niHtter at the present session.
THE COTTON ASSOCIATION.
The farmers of the South have
every reason to be proud of the
success of their grout cotton con
vention held in New Orleans,
last week. One of the most
notable and significant features
of the mighty gathering of lead
ins Southern agriculturalist*
was the unanimity with which
all important measures wore
adopted. Not a dissenting vote
was recorded on any question
vitally affecting the association1*
welfare.
It is now up to the farmer*
throughout the country to he
equally as united in carrying
into effect the recommendations
of their representatives in New
Orleans. Will they do it? We
believe that they will. We believe
that the time lias come
when the farmers are going to
stand together as they have
never stood before. The cotton
association ha3 already demonstrated
the value of concert of
action, bu a more thorough demonstration
may now be looked
for.
Another Vneumotila Victim.
Mr. Isaac Pitts, a young man
living on Mr. Thomas Gregory's
place in the Taxahaw section,
died a few days ago, of pneu
monia. He was a son of the
late James Pitts and was about
23 years old. He was unmarried.
