"s occasion may appear to demand. This
very condition Of society breeds crime with
oil its attendant cost to the people and misery
to tho actors. This should not DO. Stringent
laws against carrying concealed weapons
should be enacted and rigidly enforced, 1t
would save many lives and prevent many
breaches Of tho peace. 1t could injure no
ono, but benefit all. The last Legislature
passed IN act making it n msdemeanor to
discharge fire arm in street or public
gathering. but we have no law against the
carrying of concealed weapons. When u
person kills another, the having in his pos
session such weapon is our ground for pre-
sumipg malice, but VIC need preventive,
strong and effective. In on enlightened and
Christian country such u law would or should
meet general appreciation. We notice from
ono Of our exchanges that General Anderson,
Chief Of Police Of Atlanta, Gu, hus issued an
order against the carrying Of concealed
weapons Wo nccd and want u stringent
statute on the subject.

brutcd in the Baptist Church on Friday
night, the llth instant. A large crowd OF
our citizens were in attendance, filing the
church. Judge Fraser and Solicitor Cothran
took seats Oh the lostrum with the professors
aud speakers.
The exercises were opened with prayer by
Rev. S. l.. Morris, when Mr.. j. L. Cooper,
President of tho society, aftc" a few appropri,
ate remarks, stated the query for discussion
and introduced rs the trs; speaker, j. Logan
McI,ccs. The query was: "Should the u,ili-
tartan system Of education be cncouragcd?'
Mr.. McI.ees, i'll aspeech OF twenty minutes,
advocated the affirmative Of the question in a
clear and forcible style, doing credit to him
self and tho society of which ho is Il member.
OF the question with equal force and cearncss
nnd acquitted himself crcditably.

indicated thorough preparation and study.
Without indicating our opinion rs to tho
relative merit Of the speeches. it is well
known tha, our vicws arc with tho negative.

is tho most seductive fallacy Of the age. 1t
threatens to exclude the classics from our
colleges and schuos and for literature and
mental polish to substitute only such studies
as have n practical and special tendency to

After the debate an oration was delivered
by Mr.. James p Carey, on the subject OF

On the whole wo think the exhibition q

We mention these matters that our readers
may see how expensive the punishment Of
crime is to the taSpayers and how important
to every man to striSo to suppress and pre-"
won't violations Of law. Crimo must be- puns

DO destroyed and the life, liberty and property

earnestly hopo in the future we will not be

accruing from our criminn! docket. The
daily cost to the county Of grand and petit

Jury on the third day Of tho term, our ex-
ponscs would have been much heavier.
