CONCEALED WEAPONS.

1t must be admitted that, with
the growth of this country and with
its advancement in civilization,
crime should have decreased, says
the Mobile Register. II cannot
be truthfully said that this is the
case. Without seeking other causes
it can be asserted, without fear Of
contradiction, that one reason for
this is the criminal habit Of carry
ing concealed weapons. We use
the word criminal advisedly, for
whatever is contrary to law is Grim
inal, We do consider it the mark
of brave man to carry concealed
weapons, but rather the contrary,
OF course there are circumstances
10 which carrying them lie justifiabe
but for a man to put on his pistol IN
the morning as regularly as he puts
on his coat does no credit to him as
! a citizen MOE as a man. Especially
is this q dangerous habit in the
young. Many of them think that il
is manly. Poor fools. True man
hood consists in courage of soul, IN
daring to do right, 10 abhorring bul
lying, braggsdocio and rowdyism
Let a thin skinned youth, of violen
temper and great idea of his owl
Importance and honor heaven save
the mark stick pistol habituallJ
in his pocket, and he is making o
himself dangerous element in
community.

THE TWO SYSTEMs,

These are most hideous, most
shocking reports Of the cruelties that
are perpetrated 10 the prisons of this
State. The denominations of our
prison system, about which we have
heard so much for years past, must
now at last be brought to an end
The vile wardenq and keepers who
have done the deeds of wrong ought
to be put in cells among the culprits.
N. 7. Sun.
In New York it is the barbarous
treatment of convicts within peniten-
tiary walls that calls for the above
and excites the sympathy of the
public. In Georgia it is the chain
gang system as carried on in the
open air. After having read a COL
umn of matter depicting the horrible
crdeties of the New York system,
we infinitely esteem the Georgia
system as far superior in every res~
pect and decidedly more in keeping
with christianity and civilization.

PAY CASH THIS YEAR.

1t would take a very long article
to tell, in full, all the reasons why
many of our people, farmers and
others, do not prosper, and lay up
little by little something for hard
times and old age. We are inclined
to think that one of the chief reas
ons is to be found in the credit sys-
TEN. Most men would shrink back
at the thought of paying Is per
cent. interest on money, and yet
most Of these persons are paying
from 30 to GO per cent. on all they
buy on a credit Such a high rate
does not grow in the lands Of this
section, aud it is simply folly to try
it on any large amount. Now, the
only remedy we know is to pay cash
Cor what you get, and if you cant
pay cash for all, cut your operations
down to point where you can. 1t
is easier to do when one has made
up his miud than he has ever
thought. A man will actually be
surprised to find on how little he can
do, when he has to pay out the
shining silver for every article he
buys. Besides doing no less, such
man will hod out many new ways
of bringing t. little change" that
bad never occurred to him before.
So there is the double benefit of buy
ing less, and making more.
We wish our readers success, and
as one of the best methods of achiev
ing it, we advise them all to pay
cash for what they buy this year"

In cave at the summit of high
bluff near GridIey, California, a
colony of bees had been secreting
honey for fifteen years. The only
access to their treasures was an al
most perpendicular wall of rock, and
the difficulty of securing it had al
ways been sufficient protection until
about week ago, when party of
invaders determined on an assault.
They reached the cave and, after a
three hours battle with the bees,
came off victorious, though they all
felt that another such victory would
have been the ruin of them. In the
cave was found a solid mass of
honey, in the comb, two and halt
feet thick.

Seven cOnvicts employed on the
turpentine farm of Russell & Bryant
in Decatur county, had severe
fight, last week, with Mr.. Nod Pow
ell, their guard, and a "trusty" in
their effort to effect their escape.
A white convict named Carter, sud-
denly seized Powell from behind,
and negro convict seized his gun,
but the trusty raised his axe and
compelled him to flee. Powell then
got out bis pistol, and after shooting
Carter several times, compelled him
and three of the negroes to surren
der. The other three affected their
escape. Carter's wounds are prob
ably not fatal.
