81. B. SO relating to carrying concealed
weapons, amending the law so as to
make the minimum fine $50 instead of
$40 and the maximum fine $50. Before
the passage Of this measure it created
considerable discussion.
Mr. Patterson offered substitute
taking away the jurisdiction from the
magistrates and placing it within the ju-
risdiction of the Superior courts He
stated that in his county the law was, as
Lit now stood, a dead letter; that
parties we'll known to the magistrates
were never fined, and only those parties
come under the law, from spite and 9TH
er causes, and only those cases that
come under the cognizance Of the grand
: jury which we're presented and went to
the Superior court anyway. It was q
7 matter Of great Importance and shoulo
be we'll considered
Mr.. Wood opposed the amendment
He said that parties living twenty 0
twenty five miles from the county sea
/. -ould never put themselves to the trou
BILE to 20 that distance to have part
) indicted, and if it was accepted the end
: and objects of the law would be defeat
ed, and he was therefore opposed to th
: substitute.
e Upon a vote the substitute was lost.
:. Mr.. Brinson, speaking in favor Of th
J. measure, said he was in favor of maxim
; it hard for the persons who carried COZ
7. cealed weapons; that pistols should sta
r where they are, and the increase Of tt
| p1
d therefore favored the passage OF tt
9 BILL
% Mr.. McGill offered an amendment, b
IS striking out $50. and substituting 81
3 as he minimum Ane.
Mr.. Pritchard opposed this amen'
d ment in the strongest terms, and hope
4. the House would not adopt the ament
ment. He was not in favor Of maki1
~ it easy for offenders, that it would be
d. lesson for the young men OF this count
t. to commit crime and violate the laws
O. the State, that small fines invite viol
r. tions of law If we are going to su
y. press crime it should be done, and th
to to prohibit it meant prohibition. l q
in favor of 800 fine for carrying piste
u Anything is harsh to violators of tt
Is law. If we pass this amendment
would be step backward and e
'r- people of North Carolina demand som
10 thing on this question, as plainly se

Dr. a stop to this crime.
