SEEMS TO WORK WELL.
It will bo remembered that when
the anti-pistol I iw became operative
there were some wio sneered at it
fcnd made bold to say that the former
law again it carrying pistols was inoperative,
was in fact a farce, and
that the new law would be just about
M great a farce and just as muoh of
ft dead letter as the old law had
proved to be. Wo hold the other
View and claimed that the law would
have a good effect in lessening the
number of pistol toters. Wo believed
that the nrr i -ritv of the irond nwnlt
* - ? -- o r ?
were in favor of the law, at they saw
in it a means fjr lowering the percentage
of homicides that had bser
incre ising at an alarming rate during
the past three or four years. We did
not think any one wjuld take the
great risk of making a test of the
law's constitutionality. That we
were right his been proven by the
merchants all shipping back their
stock of pistols. And more thin
that \?*e believe the law is being
obeyed, and that it is of very rare
occurence that a mm or boy cm be
found lugging a pistol around with
him, as was so frequently the case
before the new law went into effect.
They are pos-ibly a'rai 1 to risk It,
and well they may be; and this kind
of fear is not cowardice. We should
all be afraid to disobey the laws, eveo
It we were to Inclined.
We betiwrt the ne* latr has already 1
be* 11 a bltnlio tn
? -- .J.
tk? approaching term of court there
is not a single homicide or murder
case to be tried. We have not the
records bofore us, but we do not remember
to have had a single session
of the upper court for a number of
year< in which kher6 his not been a
case of the kind. The han ly pistol
has been a powerful factor in furnishing
work for our sessions court. We
hope and believe that the new law
marks the passing of tlie pistol as a
pocket weapon, a id many lives will
be saved as a result.
On another page we publish an arklelo
regarding the abience of the
ready pistol at negro meetings. This
isconiincing evidence that the law
Is having a wholesomi efTiot 01 the
negroes, the most dangerous elemsnb
of;"plstol toters."
Last Friday night Just after Booker
T. Washington had finished addressing
l,59t* negrees la S'lilo Bxptist
church, at Birmingham. Ala., a tight
began in the rear of tho church,
caused by one negro treading on the
toes of another. Some one yelled
"fight." The congregation mistook
the word for "fire" and a resistless
Stampede was begun. Ose hundred
negroes were knockel down and
tramped to death while many otherj
wrra badly ipjured.
A mysterious murder was committed
in New York some days ago that
has caused a furor of exoitemant. A
Woman had gone out at night to buy
some fruit for her husband, who was
hot feeling well. She never returned
fcnd her body was found the second (
day In a canal With a weight tied to i
it. She had bruises on her hoad and '
a terrible knife wound in her side, j
Her name was Pallitzjr. Djteetlv.s j

Jonesville Newt9 Notes.
Jormtille, Sept. 22.?Mr.
Joshua Hemes, a very old and respectable
gentleman of the olden time
style, died at his home in Cherokee
county yesterday. Mr. Hemes was
a quiet, unotensive man and a farmer,
and not often in his old age did
he go beyond his own Dlantation.
'The weather still holds fine and
good on the late crops. The pea
crop is Tory promising if frost will
hold up for a month or five woekr,
otherwise the peas will not mature.
The cotton is being picked and gin*
ned earlier this year than ever before.
Mr. J. L. West, of West Springs,
who has boon quite sick for some
time and was not expected ever to
get up, has so far re30vered as to be
able to visit his relatives at Jonesville.
To see him in Jonesville was
almost like seeing one who had risen
from the dead.
llev. Thomas Going preached at
the Baptist church here yesterd ly
morning; he fi led the appointment
of the pastor, who was assisting in a
meeting at Lockhart. Mr, Going is
quite young b it ho pretehes a fair
sermon f >r one of his years.
Mr. Mike Sellars, of Cherokee
county, has built a nice cotton gin in
our town, and will move his fimily
here this fill.
In speaking of the wreck at Glendile
in Tub Tim us last week Mr.
Editor, you m i lo me think of something
a relative of mine, who lives
in Cv)lambu3, M:si., t?ld mo las'. May,
when I was on a visit to that town.
He said he owned a pl tntaiion a few
miles Fr jm bis town and a railroad
passes through his pi ice; last rear
there was a wreck on the r jad in the
plantation, it was a freight train. He
went out to see the wreck and the
superintendent of tho road was there
viewing the wreck; there was some
corn to be seen under the wreck, and
ray cousin bou *ht tho earn (all there
wis in the wreck) fjr eighteen dollars
from tho superintendent, and he
went to work and got out his cirn
and there were twelve hundred buahels

Dear Editor:?Perhaps you will bo
surprised to get a letter from Buffalo,
but w> don't forget to look for your
paper on mail day. |

Mr. T. II. Hightower has been on

Mr. T. C. Qreen has been visiting >
his son-in-law, T. H. Hightower.
This place is growing in population
and if Mr. Duncan keeps on with his )
improvements it will be one of tiie
finest mill towns in the State. We '
have a rock crusher now in operation
and it won't be long until we will
hare our streets laid in gravel. We

electricity, and it turns out the flieat
lint you ever taw. J
Oar mill is running on full time
with plenty of well contented help.
This mill don't know what It is to

electrician, and Rhea, chief
engineer and master mechanic, know
their business and keep things moving.
Well, Mr. Editor, if this won't do

Much success to Thf. Times,

Debating Societies.
"Do you think it best to do away
with debating societies?"
This was a question atked me some
time back ani in order to reach as
......jkiuufc pcu|ii? as possiOle, 1 khI(
permission to answer through the
columns of 1 he Times.
Of course like many other subjects
I have given this one very little
thought, and will ask you, kind
reader, to occasionally thlok for your*
self and the many good thoughts that
I leave out you will please add for
yourself. Theory at times and In
some things Is very good, but practice
is always bettor. The child In
learning to walk, talk and write must
have practice, just so with onr bashful
young men, they need and tnust
h ive so ne means by which their different
talents may be developed and
to iny mind If instructed and practiced
in such and kindred societies,
many boys yet unknown will write
their names in undoing letters h'gh
upon the pages of history.

Andrew Jackson, onoe a raggtd
boy, bat afterwards a Statesman, a
Govtrr or, a President, would, it Is
said a hen but a lad, walk for mihs
to debate and then make a complete
failure, thus by constant toll with
tindeviatiog energy he was placed
conspicuously In the political arena
of mortal life, high up on the topmost
round of oratorlal fame.
I mention these to arouse the latent
energy that no doubt slumbers
today in the bosom of ragged boys,
who If properly developed will make
shining lights to mark the century in
which they live.
It must continue as it has been?
that is?the children of common folks
will have to govern the world, both
In a spiritual and temporal sense,
then why not have a debating society
in every community, a young man's
prayer meeting in every church 7
All, of course, cannot make preachers,
Statesmen and lawyers, yet it
win enable each to know their
strength In speaking, praying and
singing, and though roughly handled
at first, such will prove helpful In
after days. 6am T. Creech.
A Remarkable Record,
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a
remarkable record.. It has been In use
for over thirty years, during wh!ch time
many million bottles have been sold and _
u8td. It h is long been the standard and
main reliance in the treatment of croup a
in thousands of homes, yet during all this time
no case lias ever been reported to ^
the manufacturer* in which it foil*] to e
?(feet a cure. When given as soon as 7
the child b comes hoarse, or even as soon \
as t he croupy cough appears, it will pre- ?
veat the attack. It is pleasant to take,
many children like It. It contains no
opium or other liarmful substance and
may be given as confidently to a baby as
to an adult. For sale by F. C. Duke.
