Carving Concealed Weapons.


A prominent young man was killeI
at Mexico, No., two weeks ago, ami
another, equally as prominent killeI
a man at Columbia, Mo, a few day
later. Both were killed by promineuI
and popular young men. These kill
ings were both Unnecessary. Ii
either case had one of the partie
tried to avoid a fight a killing might
have been avoided.
1t is altogether too common tor men
to carry concealed weapons. Is
Young America losing his courage,
that he has to carry a pistol to pro.
tect himself? 1t is a sign OF cow
ardice to go armed. A brave, honest
man fears nobody; his fist is the only
weapon he needs, and he seldom has
occasion to use that.
The law against carrying concealed
weapons ought to be vigorously eu.
forced. Do not wait til some valua-
bic life is taken, and then have a
spasm over the non-enforcement Of
laws, but begin now. There are boys
and young men 10 lexington, both
white and black, who go armed at all
times. A few arrests and heavy fines
would have a Wholesome effect.
Our officers have a right to search
persons whom they suspect OF carry
ing concealed weapons, and we hope
they will exercise this right until
the unlawful practice is broker up,

seated at the table, where they had
been enjoying such viards as these,
