"It does not uppetir to be genorall; remembered that tlie state is going t practically stop the sale of pistol after the 1st of July. It is not a Ion; while before the new statute goes int effect. It is, therefore, high time fo the dealers in pistols to renembcr th existence of the statute and get to th point of closing out their stocks. A the time the statute was enaetei there was some talk of bringing sui to test the constitutionality of th act. No test can be made until th law becomes operative, because th state supreme court will not decide case which presents a prospecti". e is sue. There is now talk being gotte ?P among the dealers to employ db tinguished counsel and, by viol-itin, the law, make a test of the const it n tionality. The man who, after Jul 1, violates the law and allows hiir sen to be convicted merely to test th statute, runs a considerable risk. ?he law is radical and extraordi nary, but South Carolina has befor this do ne some suprising things, at, if the new law will only stop the pig tol habit it will have done a grea thing. The act, which was passed in ll'Oi and is known as the Cooper law, read as follows. "Section 121'. From and after th iota.... I?I., 11 in-) ; ?i,..u i.? ... Ao v ua> yj i n ui%t , it ouuu mvj ui lawful for anyone to carry ubout th person, whether concealed or not, an pistol less than 2d inches long an three pounds in weight, and it shu be unlawful for any person linn u corporuti-?n to manufacture, sell i offer for sale, or transport for use <: sale into this state, any pistol of lcn length or weight. Any violation i this section shall be punished byline of not less than .flUO, or ituprisoi ment for not more than 1J0 days, an in case of a violation by a firm or corporrtion it shall forfeit the sum < $100 to anil for the use of the scho< fund of the county wherein the viol; takes place, to be recovered as otln fines and forfeitures. This sectic shall not apply to peace officers i actual discharge of their duties or i persons while on their promises. "The linos utul forfeitures ubov provided for, when collected, shall g to the school fund of the count where the violation occured." At the recent session ofthegencr assembly the act was amended by i friends so as to cover ambiguities. The pistol currying hub.t will wi likely be very perceptibly le.is.-n> i i this section after the lirsfc of no: month. The people over the Sta regard the new law as an exceilei one in every respect, and it is to I hoped that it will be enforced in i uncertain manner. It may bo a v> costly experiment to tlie man wi ttemps to make a test case of it. A man named 1'erry was severe whippet! in Spartanburg one day th week for improper relations wii young school girls. He left town <. the nent train.

L. G. Y. Continued next week. Sermon at Mesopotamia. The following is a synopsis of a sermon preached by ltev. Sam T. Creech, at Mesopotamia last Sunday, as reported for Tiik Times by "Vox"': Text "Whose hone shall be cut oil and whobe trust shall be a spider's wed, Job 8: 14." God uses all things for the purpose of instructing man; in fact, lie has converted the world into a scboel roorii. There are the books of naturo? Astronomy, Geology, Physiologoy, etc. Hooks of Providence, histories of nations and individuals. These, with everything 4?jvs?i <uiu ucuciuii mail, SUOU1U be recognized as direct lessons from the Lord, l'or instance; The tree, when clothed with nature's beauty, declares the glory of God; the flower, in sending forth its sweet fragrance, to gladden the heart of humanity, speaks of Ilisjlove, while, no doubt," the destructive storms, volcanoes, waterspouts, earthquakes; etc., that have become sn common, are gentle reminders, and it not heeded, with the many different plagues that are each year destroying a portion of the farmers' crops,continue to grow worse until there will he 110 place for repentance. Christ, in teaching humility to his | disciples took a little child and placed it in their midst. Of course this would hardly work with the majority of people today, but it was sufficient for his disciples. They recognized in him >1 teacher, therefore they were willing tc accept the truth. Sluggards are placed under the tuition of the ant, while it becomes necessary for the ungrateful to take lessons from the ox and the ass. i lie nenvens declare the glory oi God, anil the firmament showetli His handiwork. J)av unto day utteretli speech., and night unto night showetli knowledge. Psalm xix: 1 and 2. Hut let us look at some of the text, and in so doing accept this great truth, that all things, though ever so small are instruments in God's hands for the betterment of humanity. In th$ tirst place, by watching the spider when at work in erecting his home we find it to be one of the most rapidly made fabrics in nature. In a short while lie has completed his tent. Just >o with some men?they are hasty in forming foolish hopes and without any thought whatever, jump to conclusions that- are favorable to themselves, as if thev were the best judges as to theijr soul's requirements, and the best and safest place to secure the gift of God and they would even be greatlv surprised if God would approve their plans and accept their work as his own. In the second nlace the web is delicate and beautiful. The delieacy of its structure adds to its beauty. We find some people who have a beautiful religion, ankone that is very much refined. The vulgar ideas of less cultured people they despise and in worshipping, they, like the hypocrite, thank God that they are not as other people are. l'oor, deluded wretches, they are who think thev can circumscribe God's omnipresence with their own dwarfed conceptions of His greatness and majestv. The spider's web is useful only for the purpose of its builder and we have no right h> expect it to sustain our weiirht. f<?r it vns not mmln C<->r ilioi purpose. It is an excellent larder for its (milder and a perfect trap for its victims. Some people have such foolish ideas of religion; the ground of hope on which iliev trust cannot be called utterly false and useless; For example: People who claim to live without temptation, in many things may he good people but they claim too much. Morality taken for religion is a spider's web; yet it is indispensable. It is useful when woven into the fabric and witlu lit it the web is incomplete, Educated heads without consecra1 id hearts is another web. For while the thinker may spin the threads of thought lie dries but little if anything for the up lifting and betterment of humanity. fcfl l.ildad rightfully compares the hope of the impious to the spider's web. \vc would he mocking the drowning man tr oiler heli> that wouldn't or couldn't save him. The web answers its purpsso bul | can't hoar any undue strain. Just hc j with the religion of our Lord and Sav iour. lie saves from sin and not in sir. ?the strain would he too great. "Therefore seeing we are also com passed about with so great a cloud ot witnesses let us lay aside every though! and the sin that doth so easily beset us and let us run with patience tlie rati that is set before us, looking unto Jesuf the author and finisher of our fuitli I who for the joy that was set before him j endured the cross, despising the shame (|||V? 111 DCb UI'>1 U til (.U1C 1 1 ^ I 1 I J 1 ?i 1) 11 OJ the throilo of t ioil.''
