LAW OF
SOUTH CAROLINA
PRACTICALLY ENDS THE SALE o.
PISTOLS IN THE
STATE.
1t is a Remarkable but an Excellent
Measure to Prevent the Car.
rying of Concealed Weapons.

The new pistol law. which took
effect in South Carolina on July !,
is remarkable statute in many ways
According to this law state dealers
are not permitted to sell a revolver
less than twenty inches long and
weighing less than tnan three pounds,
Its aim is to prevent the indiscrimi-
nate carrying of firearms, and While
it will prohibit the sale of smaller
arms it will not stop the public from
going armed as heretofore.
Samples of the new guns have been
put on the market Charleston deal
ers say they will not handle the new
article, for the reason that no sales can
be made. Estimates also show that
a gun made according to the required
length will weigh nearly five pounds
and will shoot a fitty-tive calible bui-
let The rebounds from the snot
would be so powerful tnat person
could not hold the weapon IN one hand
and it would be as dangerous for tho
man firing it as for the man at whom
the weapon was directed.
The inevitable results of the law
will be the opening of blind tigers for
the sale Of pistols just as the state has
hundreds of blind tigers for the ale
liquor. Local hardware firms nave
withdrawn their old stock and not a
single pistol can be bought today le-
gally.

CURIOUS KOREAN CUSTOM
The Battle of Stones Which Marks
beginning of New Yenr,

The Battle of Stones Which Marks
beginning of New Year.
One of the most curious customs in
Korea marks the advent of the new
year. This is the battle with stones.
participated in by inhabitants of Seoul
At spot about a mile and a half out
side the city walls. on the main road to
the Han river, the people assemble by
thousands either as witnesses of or par.
ticipants in this truly remarkable exhi-
bitiOn of warlike good will By previ-
Dus arrangement piles of stones are in
readiness, all carefully selected and of
convenient size.
Without previous selection of COM
batants the participants form them
selves into opposing armies, about the
only qualification for service being aD-
parently the ability to hurl a stone at
the advancing forces of the enemy. At
first the stone throwing is at long range
and uninteresting, but as the throwing
continues the forces draw nearer. and
the fight wakes fast and furious. men
being detailed to collect the stones into
heaps again or fetch fresh ammunition
for the firing line. Then the clash
comes, the two bodies meet. fierce rush
eS are made, stones are discarded. and
knives and clubs are freely used. The
clash of weapons. the screams of the
combatants. the surging mass of men,
some being trampled to death, now
falling, now struggling to their feet, the
blood flowing from numerous cuts-the
whole goes TO make picture that de
picts anything but the joy we attribute
to the coming of Il new year The fight
is kept up until the clang of the great
city bell tells the cOmbatants that it is
time TO return home
Perhaps the most singular feature
of the celebration is that during the
remaining eleven months of the year
the Korean is as amiable a person as
can be found in any country, and by
some writer's the average Korean is
characterized as the most abject cow
ard on the face of the earth.
But, towards or no towards the
Korean people still indulge as they
have for years, in this annual warlike
welcome Of the new year. Indeed it is
legal in Korea to fight not only on
New Years day, but during the first
moon or month of the year. The Gus
tom has become a national institution.
sanctioned by the government and
patroniZed by the king and the nobin-
ty. The police attend the battles. but
merely to keep order among the specta-

privilege to the extent of his ability IL

Florence NIghtingnle's Real Name.

e.
The fact is but little known that the
family name of Florence Nightingale
was not originally Nightingale, but
Shore. Her father was a rich Sheffield
banker of the name of Shore and con-
nected with an old family which had
been in possession of land in the coun-
ties of Derby and York since the IF
teenth century. Mr.. Shore assumed the
name Of Nightingale long after the
birth of his children and because he in
herited the fortune and estates Of his
mothers uncle. There were but two
children in the family, both girls. T /.
eldest was named ParthenOsse. L.
cause she was born in Athens. and this
name was supposed to indicate her fa-
theirs profound admiration for the Par
thenon. The younger, Florence, was
also named after the city OF her birth.
