DODGING TaE PISTOL LAW.
Ingenious Scheme Said to be Practiced by
Some Merchants

1t was hardly to be expected that
pistol dealers would comp.y fully
with the law, because no law is ever
completely observed. Hence there
is no surprise that schemes are de-
vlsed to avoid it.
In Charleston, and perhaps in
other parts of the State, ingenious
merchants have hit upon a clever
method of getting around the new
pistol law. It is strictly against the
recent act to manufacture or sell fire
arms that are less than twenty inches
long and which weigh anything less
than three pounds, but no provision
was made for the renting or leasing
of the weapons. Several hardware
dealers in thu upper part of South
Carolina are doing a lively business
of shooting irons for
period of ten years, which, of course,
amounts to the same thing as selling
them outright.
In order to effect transaction of
this kind legal contracts are drawn
up and properly signed, according
to the laws Of the State. A pistol
worth ten dollars under the old law
will now rent for ten years for about
the same sum. There is q sort of
silent agreement between the dealer
and the customer that the ten year
lease about settles the transaction.

ON COUN TICKETS.
The Names OF Congregational Caudidstes
Will Appear
(The State, 9th.1

Much discussion has been INDUCED
in over the fact that the names of the
candidates for congress are not print
ed on the State tickets supplied by
the executive committee. The GUS
tom is, however, that each county
must print their own tickets for
congressman as there would other
wise have to be seven set of distinct
tickets, corresponding to the seven
congressional districts. The names
of the senatorial candidates are inclu-
ded in the State ticket as they are
voted for throughout the State.

VICTORY FOR BELLINGER.
Th e Suit Against Alleged Trust Remande
to State Courts.
TCharleston Evening Post.

TCharleston Evening Post.
In he United States Circuit Court
! today Judge Simonton handed down
his decision in the case of the State
of South Carolina against the Vir-
ginia- Carolina Chemical Company,
granting the motion of the plaintiff
for the remand of the case to the
State court.
The decision is victory for At
torney General Bellenger. It will
be recalled that several months ago
Attorney General Bellenger brought
action against the Virginia. Carolina
Chemical Company, in the Richland
county court, under the antitrust
act, alleging that the company was
purchasing and acquiring monopo-
ly of the fertilizer industry, contrary
to law.
The attorneys for the company
moved before Judge Buchanan for
transfer of the suit to the Federal
court, alleging the act to be in dero-
cation of the constitution of the
United States. The judge refused
the motion, but the attorneys secured
copies of the proceedings and filed
them in the circuit court and later
Judge Simonton heard the argu-
ments on the motion of Attorney
General Belllnger for the demand.
Judge Simonton's decision is
lengthy, containing many law cita-
tions. The court notes that, accom-
panying the records, there is no or
der of the State court removing the
suit. "But from admissions" con-
tinues the court, "made at the bar
and from the whole tenor of the ar
guments, it appears that the absence
of the order, removing the cause,
was not based upon the insuficiency
of the bond, but upon the legal
ground that the case made by the
plaintiff, does not raise the Federal
question on which alone this ques-
ton involved in this discussion is
grave and beset with difficulty. The
State has the right to have the case
brought by her, tried in her own
courts, unless the constitution of the
United States has secured to the de-
fendant the right of protection in the
Federal court"
Judge Simonton ruled that the
Federal question did not appear on
the face of the record, and he was
bound to 60 by the record and re
mand the case to the State courts.
The decision shows that the act of
the legislature contained no mention
