ACT IO7-SHCTION S OF 1902.

The practice of carrying concealed
weapons is so reprehensible, and
so fraught with evil consequences,
that our Legislators have passed
most stringent laws on this subject.
As the practice obtains here to a
certain extent, generally without a
knowledge Of the law we publish
the statute on same and call atten-
ton to all pistol toters, that they
run a great risk in violating this
law, which Furnishes severely all
those who disregard it. We trust
all will read and digest this law, it
may save them money and the dis
grace of Imprisonment:
Sec. 9. "Be it further enacted,
etc., That the offence Of carrying
concealed weapons shall be graded
as follows: Whoever shall carry
weapon or weapons concealed on
or about his person, such as pistols
bowieknives, dirks, daggers, razors,
metal knuckles, or any other dan
gerous weapon, and shall, with
such weapon so concealed attend
any ball, theatre, picnic, or other
place of amusement, or any con-
vention, mass meeting or other as
sembly, shall be fined not more
than three hundred dollars, nor
less than fifty dollars, or be i'm
prisoned not more than six months
nor less than thirty days, or both
at the discretion of the Court !;
who ever shall carry such weapon
30 concealed, under any other cir
cumstances than those herein
above mentioned, shall be fined
not more than one hundred dollars
nor less then ten dollars, or i'm
prisoned not more then three
months nor less then ten days or
both, at the discretion of the
Court; provided that the provisions
of this section shall not apply to
Sheriffs and their Deputies, Con.
stables, Policemen and Town Mar
shals or persons vested with police
power, whom in the active discharge
of their duties provided, however,
that no such person can claim i'm
munity under this section, if he be
or become intoxicated while carry
ing such weapons so concealed.

GROCERY STORE RUN AS CHRIS
WOULD EO-IT.

Our readers will remember that
some time ago we told them of
man in Kokomo, Indiana who pro-
posed to run grocery store as
Christ would run it. Everybody
of course, predicted that he would
make himself ridiculous and end
in dismal failure. But, on the
contrary, his venture has turned
out to be magnificent success.
The groceryman has bought out
five other stores, owning five in
Marion, one in Lancaster, all of
the establishments being crowded
with business. He sells for cash
only. He keeps no tobacco of
any kind. Clerks are not permitted
to use slang, swear, jest or use
tor acco. All lady clerks are pro-
hibited from flirting with young
men. No goods are delivered. the
purchaser in every case being re-
qulred to take his purchases away
with him. He offers prayers every
morning before opening his sever
al places of business. He pays
his assistants every day in cash.
None of the stores are open on
Sunday. He buys for cash and
sells for cash The goods are
sold at 3 per cent. above cost,
freight and drayage, and on big
days he devides his profits with
his clerks, keeping for himself on
ly what he considers fair days
wages for common laborer. Al
though q church member and
Sunday School teacher, he con-
slders his work "as Christ would
do it" in business as a more po-
tent factor for good than church
going.
