cARRYiNG Of WEAPONS.

The following vigorous and timely
comment is from the Birmingham, ALa''
State Herald. What the State-Herald
says Is very true, and it will meet with
the approval of law abiding people;
1t is matter of surprise to lind an
eminent iurist like Judge Campbell OF
Mississippi advocating the carrying OF
arms. He has recently written the fol-
lowing letter:
JACKSON, Miss, Nov %, 1895.
ITO the Editor of the Times Democrat:
Reading your editorial on carrying
concealed weapons leads me TO write That
after an experience of nearly half cent
urv. in active connection with an en-.
torcement of laws, my Judgment is that
all laws against carrying weapons are
wrong and should be repealed. They
cannot be enforced, and for that reason
should not exist.
"My view Is that all should be tree 10
carry arms as they please, and that every
girl especially should be taught TO use
them expertly. We would then hear less
of rapes and burglaries and such crimes
as SO often occur, and there would not De
a crime more by reason OF the unrestraln-
ed right to carry arms.
ut would prevent rather than promote
crime. The man disposed to commit
crime is never restrained by the law
while the good citizen often is, and is
thus placed at a disadvantage, being at
the mercy of the villain who assails him
and is emboldeDed to it by the confidence
that his victim is unarmed.
-. A. P. CAMPBELL"
Judge Campbell is mistaken. The law
against carrying concealed weapons can
be easily enforced if the drawing and use
of a concealed weapon is made a felony
equally with the commission of the crime
which follows. The excuse made fol
carrying concealed weapons is hat the
bearer fears for his life. The bearer is
generally an arrant coward, who carries
concealed weapons habitually and who
hastens to use them before his adversary
is conscious that his life is in peril. He
is usually a murderer without provoca'
ton. If Judge Campbell's ideas were to
prevail we would 60 back to the dark
ages, when every brawler had a sword al
his side and was ready to run another
man through the body for biting Lis
thumb at him. Fortunately, we have
come to a better age; but it is doubtful
whether this great republic of ours is
very far advanced from the dark ages as
respects tie use of arms to avenge pri'
vate quarrels. We are certainly very ia,
behind Great Britain, Europe and ever
Central and South America.

OF
the knife!

No one who has not been through the
ordeal, can possibly have any concep-
tion of the terrible fear and dread occa-
stoned by the anticipation Of surgical
operation. Well grounded, too, per
haps, in majority of cases, for the keen
blade of the surgeon is too often used
indiscreetly, and where it cannot posi-
bly, do any good. :,
It is little less than folly to submit
to surgical operation for a disease OF
the blood, and such a course always
proves either fatal or useless.
Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Hartvllle, Mo-,
had an interesting experience with the
doctors recently, and was on the verge
of a painful surgical operation. He
writes: 81 hereby add my unqualified
endorsement Of your excellent remedy,
S. S. S. For six years 1 have been a
sufferer from a sCrofulous affection OF
the glands OF my neck, and ali efforts OF
physicians in Washington, d. c.,
Springfield, H., and St. Louis, failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
movai of the gland. At this critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S. S. S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its USE Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though l am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had 1 only used your S. S. S. long age,
would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $50. If this endorse
ment will serve you in any way use 1t. "
This experience is like that of ali who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal, S. S. S. is the only
real blood remedy. it gets at the root of
the disease and forces. it out perma-
/ nently.
Cancer is another disease for which
the doctors at once resort to the knife,
and there has never been a case Cared
by an operation. S. S. S. has made
some wond erful cures of Cancer, full ac-
counts of which will be sent out upon
application.
S. S. S. is a blood remedy for real
blood troubles; it cures the most obsti-
nate cases of ScrOfula, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism, ETC., which other so-called
blood remedies fail TO touch. S. s. S.
gets at the root of the disease and forces
It out permanently. Valuable books
will be sent free to any address by the
Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Georgia.

ON THE RIGHT LINE.

The passage of MI. Fleming's bill to
increase the number Of judges of the SUI
preme court, the same to be elected by
the people, and all justices hereafter, is
evidence of growing sentiment in favor
of reducing he privilege of election by
the legisla >pre of the more responsible
officials of the state and putting it IN the
hands of those most concerned, the peo~
pie. Onthis subject the Augusta Chron-
icle says:
sit is our understanding that more
than three fourths of the states OF the
union elect their judges oy the people,
and so far as we are informed they are
as acceptable as ours elected by the leg
islature. 1t is a matter known OF all
men that the election OF judges and SO
lcitors by the legislature is matter OF
log>rolling and slate making that has
come to be a reprnach to the state. 1t
might be possible to get worse system,
but we do not believe it.
Speaker Fleming's measure is step in
the right direction, but it does not go far
enough. The superior court judges
should be elected in the same manner.
And the people will see that it is done in
due time. Ring politics is on its last
legs in Georgia.

that contested democrats may be mac e

enough to be in congress, anyhow, and

THE campaign for the republican pres
idential nomination may now be said to
be on. TIL republican national commit
tee has met and selected ST. Louis as the
Mace in which to hold the nominating
convention. The date fixed for the con-
yention to meet is June 10th, 1896
There was sharp rivalry for the conVen-
ton between ST. Louis, San Francisco,
Chicago, Pittsburg, and Salt Lake City.
Had the latter place secured the conven-
ton the body would have been rendered

would then give the expert every facility

Mr.. Keegan explained all this to Mr..

good grace, saying that he had received his
instructions verbally from the Governor
during his excellency's recent visit; that
he would telegraph to him and doubtless
have his written credentials by tomorrow 8

He did telegraph, and also, later, wrote
a formal letter to the Commissioners, stat
ing that he had been appointed as expert

written document from them to permit
him to fulfill his duties
The letter was received just before the

action was taken pending advices from the
Governor.
