The editorial article in Wed wesday's issue of The News on She subject of the concealed weapon evil ha* received the Jwnrty endorsement ot a number wf intelligent, law abiding citi-1 aens, which is indeed gratifying aad encouraging. If the legislature at its pre-ent session fails enact a more stringent law against the pistol-toting habit, it will not be lor lack of a gener *1 demand on the part of the people for an improvement on the statute now"in force.

The Augusta Herald, in a Limely and thoughtful editorial i* w the subject of carrying fire arms, in its issue of Wednesday, J\ directs attention to the fact that pL the grand jury of Jeirerson m -eounty, Kentucky, in which a tounty the city of Louisville is tTm IJncated. has recomm?nd?d to n ih? state legislature the passage I *' a similar law, or rather, a law *ore sweeping in its provisions, ** ?oe making it a felony to carry ^firearms at all, which would >Tt>U?bly be carrying the matter mfl o 4 .1 i , j ,r.

Tillman on the Morris Incident?Makes Sensational Speech. Washington, Jan. 17.?The I recent forcible removal Irom the White IJouse of Mrs. Minor Morris was made the subject of emphatic denunciation by Mr. Tillman in the Senate to<lay. Ilis remarks called out remonstrances Irom Messrs. Hale, Hopkins and Daniel, and led to the very abrupt closing of the doors and the sudden adjourn ment ol the Senate in the raid die of the afternoon. The speech abounded in Mr Tillman's peculiar expressions ana was characterized by man.', severe ana ? x:epti<>nally personal thrusts at the President. At times he wept over what lie regarded as the indignities to Mrs. Mooris and his eyes were full of tears when he declared in the face ol protests Irom his fellow-Senators that he would demand an investigation of the White House incident.

Tho Oranford Club met Wednesday afternoon with Mm. L. C. Harrison, and was most delightfully entertained by the charming hostess. Dainty refreshments were served at the conclusion of the 'literary programme, which was as follows : American Women of Note? Quotations by members ot the V^UIO. Current Events, by Mrs. K. C Lamer. Nuted Women 1007-1770, by Mi-s llattie Taylor. N?ited Women 1770 1800, by Mrs T M. Hughes. N'ot'd Women 1800 1905, by Mrs J T Thomasson ; Tribute of Respect to the Memory of Mrs. P. T. Twitty. Many hearts were saddened with a cloud ol sorrow, when it was known that Mrs. P.T.Twitty naa passed over the "beautiful river." Mrs. Twitty died on the last dav of the .vear, Dee. 31, 1905, leaving a heart broken husband and seven devoted children. She was sick for over a year,but was confined to her bed only a few days belore her death. She was never known to complain, but alwajs looked forward to the time when she would be well again, but God, in llis m.vs terious way, calle 1 her home Death lows a shining mark, and so often 'he good, the true, and the beautiful are taken first. As a friend, Mrs. Twitty was strong and firm; as a wile, trno and faithful; us a mother, devoted and tender. She had such a modest, bright and happy disposition thai "none knew her but to love her, not e named her but to praise her." She did rot le iye one bh?t or slain upon her beautiful life or fair name. She never apoUe an unkind word ol any one, but always looked for that which was good in anyone. She was a faithml member of the Heath Springs Baptbt church and of the Woman's Missionary Society. Before her health failed, her place was never vacant, but she was ever ready to acs;st in any good work. But she is gone?gone in tlie midst of her use uiness, gone when it seems we needed her most. We know not why it came, but God knows;?let thai suiiice. He who lias | ower to wound, has also power to heal. She now rests from her labors and her go'd works will follow her. In consideration of the above facts, we offer the follow ing resolutions : I. That in the dealli of Sister Twilty the W. M. S. of the lleath Springs Baptist church has lost one of its most faithful and attentive members. II. That be ieving in the wisdom and love of our Heavenly l a*her we bow in humble submission to His will, lor he doedi all I hi n^s well. III. That we extend our heart I Alt", av tnr^fl 'ltu III t lunmotm/l ? aw w.T |'i* II.? Vw ^1 family, and pray lor God's grace to r? st upon them, which is suf ficient at all times. IV.
