l the Mobile Register.

fTOm the MODlle ReBlSter.
 Mayor Drennen of Birmingham has caused something of a sensation by re- hitting the fines imposed upon two citi- zens who were found guilty of carrying concealed weapons The men were fined for carrying pistols In one case the pistol was in the carriers pocket, but a part of it protruded and was visible; in the other case the pistol was attached to a belt, around the waist of the carrier, and was also visible. The mayor decided that in neither case was the weapon concealed. Judge w. B. Feagin, before whom the men were tried, says. however. that the case against the men was clear. In law the weapon is concealed If not carried openly in the hand or on the shoulder. It must be where all can see 1t. There have been numerous shootings in Birmingham and the carrying of conceal ed weapons appears to be a common practice The mayors action will encour- age the violation of the law and render life less safe In the community over which he presides.

Uprisings in parts of the North against

good many of us who are familiar with
the attitude of that section toward the
Negroes as a class in other days, are
not happy augeries for the future of

EXCESSIVE LAND HOLDING.

Provision in the New Law Which
May Remedy the Evil.
The provision in the Indian appro'
priation bill designating the amount
of land to which each individual citi.
zen of the various tribes is entitled,
has an important bearing on the eN.
cessiye land holding cases that have
been in the courts of the Cherokee ma
tion for two years, and promises to
break the power OF the excessive land
holders, who, It is alleged, have de-
feated every treaty with the Chero-
KEGS looking to the final allotment Of
lands of that nation.
The bill provides that the individ-
ual citizens of the tribes shall hold
ahotments as follows: In the Chero-
<ee nation, 100 acres; in the Creek
nation, 100 acres; in the Choctaw
and Chickasaw nations, 800 acres
each In the Cherokee nation there
are from 200 TO 800 cases in which
individuals hold from POO to 1000
acres, and for the use of these lands
were willing and anxious that the
present conditions obtain, and have
fought all acts looking toward a
change. Test cases have been in the
United States courts for two years,
but the government was never able
to make case stick because it had
never been judicially decided how
much land individuals were entitled
to, and on this the excessive land
holders made their case. This has
been decided now, and the position
Of the excessive holders, most OF
whom are cattlemen, will be unten
able.
The penalty for such offense is 500
or imprisonment, and each day the
offense is committed counts as a sep.
arate offense, and, If the government
officials can make their case stick, as
they say they can, 1t will mean ruin
to the land holders who have enjoyed
big holdings of Indian lands now for
years.
