If 1'cae Oillevra, hio they P'olicemen, Sher. lif, i)eputlcs, ,r CosantInbleH, Findt it Neeshiry to Wear Weapuue they M ttst Wear t h.m Openly-Tihe 1,aw IN Very Phain on the Sub ject, aind tho Opinion ol' the Supreme Court Is Unnimous. (Special to News and Courier.) Columbia, July 22.-Constables have to wear their Gatling gunls wide op)en. TeSulpromlo Court of the Stato holds t hat at State constable has no more right to carry aion coaled weapon than has any one else In fact the decision is moro far roaching, and holds that peace o1li cors generally have no legal right to carry Conce'alo(i weapons. If a f')w ina:yors and magistrates get afer constables and sherills' deputies and line them it will have the oiect of bringing pistols to the surface, and then if a shoriIl' wants to wear a pistol "wide opon" people will think none the less of him, and every one will be on notice that thero is a pistol about. Naturally, there will be an effort made to have the statutes amended so that constables can carry their pistols without exposing them, but the general legislative tendency is to require pistols to be exposed, and whether the present decision is the result of a legislative accident or forethought, there will be a atubborn light to prevent any change. No doubt, the State constables, in order to protect. thInmselves, will wear their pistols exposed and on belts about their persons; and municipal corpo rations, to save their policemen will order them to carry their pistols ex posed, as is now (o11 in many cities. The decision is in regard to the case of W. It. Crawford, who was tried and acquitted in the Stuart case. The decision in the case was written by Associate Justice Gary, and is the unanimous opinion of the Court. The decision is as follows: Tho record contains the following statement of facts: On July 23, 1898, the defendant, W. It. Craw ford, named above, was tried before the mayor of the city of Laurons, chirged with the violation of an or dinance of said city, on July '3, 1898, by having concealed about his personi a pistol. The defendant ad mitted that ho did have a pistol cen coaled about his person in said city on the 23d day of July, 1898, but conltend(ed that lie wats a State con stable and had a right to carry his pistol concealed ab)out his person. The defentdanit was State constable, but the mayor overruled the conten tioni of the defendant, convicted hun of thne crime charged, and sentenced him to pay a fine of 85 or be im prlsonedl ten days. T1he defendant atppealed to the Court of General Sessionis for Laurons County upon the ground that he was an oflicer, a State constable, and had a right to carry his pistol concealed about his person. The appeal was heard by his Honor, Judge Townsend, at the October, .1898, termn of Cou rt of (Gon (oral Sessions for JLaurens County. Hlis Honor, the Circuit Judge, ordered "that , he appeal be and is sustained, and .that the entire pro ceedings herein be, and are hereby, dlismissed, andi( that the dfendant's bond on appeal be dlischargod and caneel led." The city of Laurens appealed from this order, upon excep)tions raising piractically t,he single question of law weather a State constable is exemplt from the operation of the law forbidding the carrying of a pistol concealed about thne person. TLhe first Act on this subject was passed in 1880, 1 7 Statutes, 447, the fourth setion of wvhich wvas ats follows: "Nothing herein contained shall 1)0 construed to apply to pcetC odicers while in the actual discharge of their (dutios ias such oflicers. Nor to persons carrying concealed won pons1 whylile upon their own premises."~ it 1897 another Act was pcssed, 22 St at ides, .1'23, in which without re fe: ring to the p)reviouls legislation, thoc lanage of the former Act was uhstantinalv rennated, wit.h thn important exception that in the part of the Act declaring what persons shall b0 exempt from its provisions peacO officers are cnt irely omnited. The language of that of the last Act is as follows. "Nothing heroin contained shall be construed to apply to poisons car rying concealed weapons upon their own promnises." The Act concludes with the usual repealing clause. The first question, therefore, to be determined is whether the pro vision in the provioun law exempting poace oflicers while in the usual dis charge of their duties as such from the operation of the Act is repealed by the subsequent Act of 1897. This turns up the inquiry whether the provisions of the latter Act are inconsistant with those of the former Act, for if they are, then, by the ex press terms of the last section of the Act of 1897, the provious provisions not re-enacted are re pealed. The rule is well set tled that when a statute exempts two classes of persons from the operations thereof, and a subsequent statuto on precisely the same subject exempts only one of the two classes named in the previous statute, the provisions of the two statutes are inconsistent with each other, and such inconsis tent provisiois are repealed by the latter statute. The Circuit Judge, therfore, erred in his construction of the said at at utes. It is the judgment of the Court that the order of the Circuit Court be reversed.
