MUST CARRY BIG ONES.


On the first instant the new gun law
went into operation in South Carolina.
although 1t was enacted year ago.
The reason for putting its operation so
far ahead was probably to give the peo-
pie time to dispose OF their old pistols
and provide themselves with the regula-
tinl size. If they want them.
Under the new law no one is allowed to
carry pistol less than twenty inches
in length or weighing less than three
pounds. 1t is not a question of carrying
concealed weapons at all. because a pis-
tol smaller than that prescribed cannot
be carried in the hand or in a belt. or
swung around the neck. Smaller ones are
barred under all circumstances. The oh
ject of the law Is to break up the habit
Of carrying concealed pistols and it will
doubtless accomplish its object to some
extent. As men ordinarily dress 1t will
be practically impossible to conceal such
a liece of ordnance as the least one al
lowable under this statute. but IL the
authorities expect to break UP the Gus
toss entirely they will find themselves
beaten. No law that can be enacted will
entirely prevent men who want to carry
pistols from taking chances at times.
Each thinks he can eVade the law and
The authorities. and If an occasional un-
fortunate should be caught and punished
the otners will only be deferred for a
sho I while.
II TITS new departure in the way of
snpprf esion shall prove effectuaI, or prac-
tically 80. South Carolina will de-
serve and receive the thanks of law
abiding men everywhere, and her exam
pie will be followed in other States
where the evils of carrying concealed
pistols are SO great and SO well known.
It Is an evil which exists among The
best communities as well as in the most
lawless ones, and 1t is a practice which
is at the bottom Of most of the homi-
cides which occur. If a man has n
loaded pistol in his pocket he is pretty
sure to use 1t when he gets into diff
Guilty. whether he is in the right or the
wrong.
Especially is this habit to be deplored
among the colored population. In the
main the negroes of the younger genera
ton have very little regard for peace and
good order. When one gets mad the first
thing he thinks of doing is to pull his
pistol, II he has one, and the conviction
and punishment of one of them has but
little effect on the others. So, if the
South Carolina experiment will suppress
or largely reduce the evil it will be a
benefit to society.

Two thousand people thronged the

back to their old home to once again

The laying of the cornerstone by the
Masonic fraternity, Grand Master, DIR.
r. M Cunningham, Cfflciating, was a
beautiful and impressive ceremony, after
which the Doctor delivered a most in
teresting and eloquent address on Ma

were the Constitution of the United States

assembled in West Alabama concluded
the day.
It is impossible in this short article to
give praise to all whom praise is due for
this grand county barbecue, but to Capt

THE PLAN FOB THE PRIMARY.
The Democratic State Committee COM
pIeted the work which called Il In session

for soma purpose not now contemplated.

the great bulk OF the Democrats and viii
be acquiesced In by all Of them. The
friends Of the new Constitution want q

and are not going to do anything cali

to express his choice for every state Of

rules Iaid down by the COMMITTEES. Dem
ocrats only will participate in the ,prima-
ries. The report OF the Committee is

and Is so clear and unmistakable as to
need no comment or expsanation. II is
to be a Democratic primary. and no
loyal Democrat can object to it on that
account.
The Advertiser hopes that whatever
differences may have existed as to Con-
vention or primary. and particularly as
to the sort Of primary. will now disap-
pear and that a solid front will be pre-
sented to any opposition that may arise.
The Mobile Register favored a primary.
and one practically allowing the bars to
remain down. It's patriotic utterances
which appear elsewhere IN this paper.
shcw that IT Is satisfied with the result
and that should be the spirit of all who
held the same position prior to the action
of the Committee. whether It win be so
remains to be seen.
The plan provides for the election of a
State Committee. and fixes the number
at So the same as at present. Counties
can select their local candidates IN such
manner - they may prefer. but It is.moro
than likely that the plan for the State
will be adopted by the counties.
