TIE VIOLATORS OF
THE Me- W PISTOL LAW
Had Better Beware-Spartanbure
is Another City That Has Evi-
dcnced the Intention to Strictly
Enforce the New Law.

The city council at it's regular
meeting in the council chamber one
day last week, passed an ordinances
which will put the violators OF the
new pistol law to thinking.
the council is determined to have
the law enforced, and hereafter the
individual caught carrying about his
person any pistol less than twenty
inches in length and three pounds in
weight shall be fined a sum not less
than $50 or more than 800, or be
sent to the chningaug for not more
than thirty days.
The gentleman who was soaked in
the mayors court Saturday morning
for $50 or thirty days in the road i'm
provement curriculum for carrying a
pistol which was neither long enough
nor heavy enough, took an expensive
way Of learning the law. A copy Of
one Of the newspapers Of this city
would have cost him sc and in it, he
would have read the specifications
for such armament as is permitted
by the law to be carried during these
days OF deep and profound peace
Spartanburg Journal.
A few Of these kind Of lessons will
have healthy effect in putting n
stop to the pistol toting practice. 1t
is hard to make some people under
stand, but it crn be done one way or
another. Those who snecr at the
pistol law and don't think it is going
to be enforced, had best keep their
gun at home. They have only to
keep their ears and eyes open to
learn that it is the liveliest corpse cx-
tant, and is here for business.

For health's Sake.

The Portland Telegram advises people
to get out doors, enjoy the fresh air and
absorb the sunshine. To get or retain
health, it's instructions are to remain
outdoors in the daytime as much as pos
sible. 1.-THE sun is a physician. His
light and heat are healers. Sunlight and
salt-one free, the other controlled by a
trust, and so costing about four times as
much as it should, yet obtainable at a
small price-will dc more to keep men and
women healthy than any college of ply
sicians in the world"
Half the women in this city," says the
Portland paper, perhaps are half the
time complaining; they nave a headache,
4 backache. or are nervous, or don't feel
well somehow, and as soon as the sun
shines-he will soon. and will for many
long days between now and next Christ
mas-they should remember that a helper,
a healer. a restorer, a benefiter, a beau
tiher. is right at hand, in sight. all
around, free for the poor as we'll as for
the rich-the sunshine. Let us be thank
full that this one of Gods blessings cam
not be M~organized or Hannaized-or mon
opolized by anybody"
