selling cloth to the print
works nial hh-arln ries in Fall River
at prices which the local mills can
not meet, says the Ralliinore Sun.
The Southern mills, for example,;
make a profit on cloth at .'I cents a
yard for which the Massachusetts
mill must have.'! 1-Scents. A large
business lir.sgrown up at Fall River
in finishing Southern cloths. In
other words, the Southern mills
pay the freight to and from the
market and outsell tin- the Massachusetts

South Carolina's New Pistul I.aw.
The Columbia Record says that
one of the most radical nieces of
lobulation passed at the recent session
of the Ucncral Assembly was
tlio anti-pistol law, which, however,
loos not b" into elVect until July,
J?K)2.
Tlio law prohibits the sale ov
importation of any pistol which is
not twenty inches loiib and which
weighs U.'ss than three pounds.
The intention of the hill was b?"d.
1 localise no man will carry such a
weapon as that concealed or otherwise,
and if the law would stand
the test of the courts it would certainly
accomplish the purpose.
Hut it. was pointed out by lawyers,
both in the Senate and 1 louse,
that tlio law is absolutely unconstitutional.
I>ut so ureal was the
desire to do something to put a
stop to an admitted evil that members
brushed aside all considerations
of the constitutionality of the
bill and made it law.
The act prevents the carrying of
niiy pistol, concealed or otherwise.
exrept of liir proserihcd length unci
weight. Aii exception is made an
to one's own premises, where any
sort of weapon may lie carried,
concealed or otherwise.
There u already ample laws in
the statute hooks against carrying
concealed weapons, hut the chief
dillicnlty is that the law isn't enforced.
When one is convicted of
I violating it the line is merely nominal,
and except in the ease of negroes
the tine is usually paid. Hut
the proposed remedy, as provided
* for in the new law, will not accuuiplish
the desired purpose any more
present one, for it is prac
brought to tli courts. an 1 tlio
opinit 11 of lawyers is that i!
ran not stain!. It is likely that a,

Thomas, of ( hosier oounty, who
fought in tho Mi xirnn war. Mr
was a brave man, beyond a doubt,
for hi' elinied tin' hill of Chapultopic
anil In* I pod to pull down tho
.Mexican colors and raise the
American tbi". In another battle
lie had his arm shot oil*, lle^ot
his pension, but ha\in^ in Ctil
oiven aid and comfort to the Confederate
cause, his allowance was
eut oil'. The Senate agreed to repension
him, Tint the House held
up the bill. That is, the holding
up process lasted until .Mr. Tillman
delivered his ultimatum, and
then tho bill was passed. Now
pension bills j^o through the Senate
as if they were groused. It
sometimes pays, says .Mr. Tillman,
to show your teoth.
I>ui the end is not yet, for the
passage of the liill is virtually a
repeal of the law which disbars a
Mexican veteran fi< in lceeivin^ a
pension because lie sympathized
with the Confederate cause. And
there are thousands of these old
veterans in the South.

Sullivan's Opinion of Mrs. Nation.

following < piiii >n i f Mrs. Carrie
Nation: "There's s tnethin^ the
matter with her head! Thalfs all
there is to it. You can liet all the

she's a lady and noes t > smash ini;

tiling for tho-e who preach it.
