Governor Instructs Constables to Expose Weapons Carried. It was only a few days a<*o that the Slate supremo court rendered * decision to the effect that liquor constables as well as other officers 111 110 n8ht to carry eoncea'ed weapons. The practice having beeu general among the consta" hies, Gov McSweeney yesterday ordered the following notice sent to each one of the chief constables: Dear Sir: Gov McSwoeney directs mo to have you to direct yor.r constables not to carry consealed weapons. The supreme court has recently decided that it is unlawful for them to do so. If weapons are carried at all, they must ho exposed. Kespt. ' W W Harris, Clerk. In this connection it is stated that since Gov Tillman's administration the State has not furnished liquor constables with pistols, and the constables have been sup' pljing themselves with guns. The general belief has been all along that the State was supplying these men with pistols. Hereafter if the constables bear pistols they will hare to wear them exposed or else lay themselves liable to prosecution. ELIJAH BO WEN RETURNS AS IF FROM THE DEAD.

Tho frequency with which lynchings in Georgia are taking place ami 'he corresponding frequency of the crimes which cause them are not very effective arguments in support of the theory that lynchings awe the would-becriminals and serve as a preventive.
