H. H. AULL. EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice. at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1905. Too much hot air, and no water, is liable to cause an explosion in the state capitol at any moment.-Green ville News. Ain't it so? The most important matter with which the legislature should deal is that of taxation and assessment of property. No one seems anxious to take hold of these propositions. The proposed ten circuit bill puts Newberry in with Greenwood Laur ens and Abbeville and makes another circuit out of Greenville, Aderson, Oconee and Pickens. making four counties to each circuit. but it would seem to be a more equitable division of business and just as convenient if these two circuits were composed, one of Newberry, Greeiwood and Laurens and Greenville and the other of Anderson, Pickens, Oconee and Abbeville. This suggestion is made because it puts Greenville and Ander son in separated circuits and these two have more business than any other two counties of the eight. In other words it would give each one of ,iese two circuits one large county. Geographically such an arrangement would be just as convenient as the proposition in the bill. We regret exceedingly the unfor tunate accident of last Thursday night in Newberry by which an ex cellent young man had his life snuff ed out in a moment and while he was just entering upon his young man hood. It would not have happened if his friend had not been violatng a law on the statute boogs against the carrying of concealed weapons. This incident should be a warning to oth ers against the evil practice of carry ing pistols contrary to law or carry ing them even if there were no law against it. . The concealed weapon law is a dead letter. It is a rare thing for any one ever to be apprehended for this offense. It is a rarer thing for any good ever to result from toting a pistol. If there had been no pistol in this case a young life would have been spared and an aged mother' would have had left her her only child. No. 6102.
