HURRAH FOR MCSWEENEY.
The Concealed weapon Law not a
Dead Letter.

Not withstanding the recommended
ti"n ofnumerous citizens Of Greenville
C unity, the governor has refused to
pardon Thomas M. Odam of that
C unity, who was convicted at the
April term of court OF involutary
mans'aughter and sentenced to two
years in the county Jail or the pen
itentiary. Odam killed another man
accidentally while handling a pistol
on the sire cts. Solicitor Boggsr fused
to recommend a pardon on the groun d
that no man should carry cor,c saled
weapon in times of peace, and upon
this recommendation the govoner re-
fused the pardon.
This is case which is Of unusual
interest in that it shows that the law
as to carrying concealed weapons is
to be enforced by the executive when
ever he has the opportunity to do SO.
Ordinarily petition such as Odam
presented would have brought forth
clemency, but that though a man
was killed accihently by another
carrying concealed Weapons. and
though great pressure was brought
to have him parloned, the refusal to
do so marks distinct era in the en-
forcement of the concealed weapon

HIS IDEA OF MANKIND.

once expressed his idea Of human
itv:
i regard The entire human race
as little animals fussing about on
the rind Of one Of the millions on
millions If globes that float in inf
nitc space for second or two Of
eternity and then disappear. Artiti-

animals have no more significance to
me than those between ants in the

by sweeps out Of existence"

a wealthy man, and for years it had

Minnie was just getting ready to retire,
when she started into an adjoining room
TO see that the outside door was safely
fastened and saw, ready to enter the
room through a window, a man Of almost
gigantic proportions Quietly getting her
fathers old rnuskeet and standing in q
