S, C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22. 1901 ,:. 8 PISTOLS MUST GO. At Least That ls What tho Ls gis laturo Says. SENATE AGREES WITH HOUBE The Bill Forbids tho Carrying of Flro Arma LOBS Than Twenty Inches in Leng'h. Mr. Coopor's bill to rogu?ato tbc oarrying, manufactur? g and Halo of firearms usually usod for Ibo iaflction of porsonal injury, and to make a vio lation of tho samo a misdomcanor, was takon up in tho Senato on Tuosday of last wook. . Tho bill is vory drastio in its provisions, and tho otnmittoo re port on it was unfavorable. Bcnater Graydon offered an amend ment making tho bill apply ouly to pistols, and advocUod tho bill with his amendment at somo length Senator Aldrioh thought it tho best bill that has boou introduood at thin sospioo. Public opinion has crystal led on two j oints, ho said, that whia koy 'and pistols aro roBpouBiblo for most of tho orirao. Tho pona'ty for carryingconooslod weapons is entirely too lew.' Ho know of no ovil in tho State moro to bo deplored thau tho al most, universal oustom ol oarrying oom ooaled weapons. It is a most do moralizing ana degrading thing. Tho pota'alty'oannot bo mado too severo. Tho habit of carrying a concealed woa pon will mako a coward of any mau All tho C?uraga ho over had will bo nuuk.in tho barrel of his pistol, aad if ho ever gets into a row without his pistol bo will run as suro as ho lives. A pistol is a diigraocful thing, aod no man ought to bo allowed to oarry ono I whothor oonoealcd or not. If a man ' nood a firo arm at all bo needs a gun and not a pi nt ol Sonator Henderson said he was as inuoh opposed to oarrying oonoealcd weapons AB anybody, but ho thought this proposed hw would bo unponsti tutional, as it. forbids tho right given by tho constitution of carrying . ai ms, abd this bill will prol ibit us from oar rying petiole, oonoealcd or r ot. Tho bill, bo thought would bo unoonsfitu tional, and for that roason bo oould not volo it. Mr. Uderton' suggostcd an amortd mont, that a man oould uot oarry weapons "without just causo or ex odao." Ho thought tho wisest thing to do Would bo to stop tho importation and 'calo of pistols. Ho thought tho Dill u udor discussion sh on id pass. Sonator Mowor'.analyj'.nd'tho bill. In tho first plaoo it absolutoly forbids a oitizon oarrying a pistol, whothor ooo ooaled br not, and a provision of that ktad is : ontiroly unconstitutional. It also, pr?vidos that thoro shall not bo sold tn this State a firo arm of loss than a certain sizo atid weight. HQ seriously doubted if tho passago of laws on this subject will accomplish much good. Wo* will havo to have Bomothing bo sidos laws. :' Senator Henderson fi ?id ho did not ho lievo tho law-would do any good, that it would, bo violated just as tho prosout law . ..against oonoealcd weapons is violated. Senator Mayfield Offered an amond ma.nt tbat a person desiring to oarry a concealed weapon might obtain an an nual lioonso from tho clerk of court at an annual oost of $50, and ?poko in favor of his amondmont. If a man thinks ho ought to go armed ho ought to bo allowed to do so, and tho people otight to know it. So lot him tako out a HooneOj'and lot ovorybody know, that ho baa takon out Buoh a license. Senator Henderson said this a mond rrfent'-would <itill not mako tho law con stitutional. Tho taking out of a li oe^?s?.would not, proteot anybody. Ho uipved tb strike out tho enacting WOjfds'of tho bill.. .-Bo ti a ter Graydon oon'onded that this b^l),.Would'be constitutional ss tho lau- i gp^b'.of tJt?, constitution ao to tho right of. tbo pooplo to boar arms ro fpried-,only.to tho. militia. . . .Jipnator Htanland thought this a most important measure, and that somo law of this kind should bo passed. Ho spoko of the oonditionB in tho lowor ooun^ioo, and said pro toot ion of somo kind was noroly needed. Tho voto to striko out tho enacting words resulted as follows: ?y.oB-Barnwoll, Bowon, Brantloy, Brown, Donnis, Glonn, G rubor, Hendor uon, Hydriok, Mooro, Mowor, Sharpe, Talbird and Walker-16.

MoDormott, Barratt, Staokl?usry Stanland, Sullivan and Williams-21. Tho Bonato refused to striko out tho enaoting words. Sonator Appolt ottered an amend mcnt.ihat a man might bo allowed- to carry a oonoealcd weapon upon '?paying an annual foo of $50 a lioonso to, bo h - sued by ?lo?k of tho court. :JX Sonator Hough opposed this'Hioomo foaturo. If-wo -are- going to prohibit* tho oarrying of oocooalod weapons lot us prohibit outright. ^r^^ett^-'%ftnjfs to oarry a woapon for dofo'nsb ?0t>ni?b carry it-open and aboveboard. bf> Senator lldorton also opposed it and thought it would discriminate against tho poor.man, who mi?ht bo unable to ?ay tho ?iooi.se, whatever it might bo. lo thought his amendment as to "just oausb or OXOUBO" would oovor tho ground.' ~\? Sonator Majfiold witbdrow his amondmont. Sonator Graydon offered an amend ment to simply mako it unlawful for a man. to oarry . a firo arm loss than 20 in oh os in length or less than three pounds in woight.

Tho houso was eomowhat ourprised Thursday wbon Mr. Ruokor movod to tako up from tho labio Mr. John Mo ?Mastor's resolution of oonsuro for John L MoLturin. This motion was not dobatablo, but tho speaker indulged Mr. Huokor to (tate his position. Mr. lluokor said: Mr. Spoakor: Wednesday a roeolu tion was laid on tho tablo without giv ing au opportuuity to thoso that favored it to givo thoir reasons for its passage, lt was au important ouo and" whilst wo who aro present know tho reasons that aotuatod thoso who opposed the resolution it will bo misunderstood and usod elsewhere as evidonoe that tho houso of representatives endorso tho course of tho junior senator from this St uto. I fool B?ro that not 10 por cont, of thoso who votod against tho resolu tion endorso Senator MoLauria's oourao. It is not a question of tho advisability of tho r?solution. It has ! boen introduced. Tho question I ro ! spootfully submit to you is, shall wo oudroao his oourso, fortbat. will no tho ostimate plaood upon thc rcjootion of tho roBolution. lt has boon urged ia conversation that wo ought not to con demn him in his abaonoo. Why should wo not? Ho baa not hesitated in our -absonoo to botray tho trust wo plaood in him. Ho ran as a Domoorat in a Demo crat io primary and aa tho ros ult of that oleotion was chosen by a Demooratio legislature to tho Bonato. 1 find fault with no man booauao of his vote upon any ono question, oven though ho"difi?gtijo" with-his politio*! aSeooiatop; butwhontho disagreement with bis party aBsooiatoa reaohoa that point that it ia heralded ovor tho coun try through tho medium of tho press, that "Senator MoLaurin votod with tho administration aa io his custom " I say that tho timo has oomo for ua to i put on rcoord our condemnation of his oourso, and in BO doing yoico tho senti ment of thoBo who put him whore he is. Tho junior senator's oourso baa not ouly boon absolutely at varianoo w.th thowell known wiahos. of tho...-people of the State, but has boon inconsistent with his own publio uttoranoos. A fow days before tho voto upon tho treaty of Paris, Senator MoLaurin said upon tho floor of tho senato (I qudto from mem ory,) "I am oppoeod to tho ratification of tho troaty. In my judgment it means tho establishment of a large standing army wbioh will boused at lirst to oonqucr colonios abroad, and sooner or later, will bo used hero at homo to override and intimidate tho popular will." And yot after in this solomn mannor having donounood tho troaty, 48 houro theroaftor bo votod for it. How thou oan wo have any oon lidoneo in tho senator. 1 submit to you therefore, gentlemen, that thoro is no course left open to us, tho resolution having boon introduood, but to pass it. To do less would bo to havo tho interpretation placed upon cur conduct that tho houso oudoraoa tho oonduot of Senator MoLaurin. He was oleotod as a Domoorat. To all intents and purposes bo ia now a j Republican. Ho is in favor of tbs ship j tul) sidy bill, a Ko public an mormuro | winch, undor tho guiso of assistance to our oommcroo, is an unqualified raid upon tho troasury of tho country of huodrods of millions of dollars, ls there any reason-and valid roaoon why wo should not oondomn him? Doos ho roprosout anything . ho waa supposed to roprosent whon he was olootod? In no sonso has ho carried out tho desires of his constituents. But on tho contrary ho has violated tho oonfidonoe roposod in him.
