Concealed Weapons.

There is more or less complaint
throughout the State against the law
prohibiting tho carrying of deadly
weapons concealed about the person.
Some have even gone SO far rs to urge
its repeal on the ground that it is a
dead letter, and should therefore be ex-
plunged from tho statute law. We
cannot concur in this view. We be-
alieve it to bo a good law, and one
that demands more rigid enforce
ment. Lot the Courts impose tho
heaviest punishment prescribed for
the offence, and then a conviction
will exert wholesome influence
against this alleged practice of cer-
tain Glasses in every community who
are habitually violating the law with
impunity. Let our Circuit Judges
impose fine of something like 5000
or Imprisonment for twelve months,
or both, according to the persistent
aggravation of the case, for every
conviction, instead of the usual no.
minal fine Of $25 and costs, or alter
native imprisonment for thirty days,
as now, and it will not be long until
this pernicious habit is, in large
measure, broken up. No; let us
not license this dangerous practice,
which is so destructive of life and
limb. Violence and bloodshcd are
already too common in our midst.
Put fiery whiskey and the nimble
pistol within the reach of all, and
human life will be still less secure.
We have long thought that the pun
ishment meted out by our Courts for
the carrying of concealed weapons
was too lenient, and wholly made
qnate to suppress the practice. 1t
was for the enactment of this law
that the late Capt. +. w. Dawson,
editor-in-chicf of the Charleston
Nesos and Courier, gave some of
the best work of his life, both as a
statesman and an editor. Let us
revere his memory in the faithful
execution of the law, both in the let
ter and the spirit, which had its
birth in his wisdom and patriotism.
