Pistol Toters.
From the Covington Enterprise.

the Covington Enterprise.
There has been more legislation upon the dog
question and the pistol question than any other two
subjects of minor importance. The Constitution Of
Georgia says the citizens of the state shall not be
denied the right to bear arms. But the Constitu-
ton also allows the legislature the right TO pre-
scribe the manner in which the arms shall be
borne and the kind of arms.
We are in favor of a law that will require
every pistol sold carried in Georgia to be at least
"a inches long. Make it misdemeanor for dealer
to sell one that is not the required length, and
whenever fellow is caught with pistol not the
legal size and length get him for violating the law
in two cases. If some of the towards who persist
in violating the present pistol law had to carry
pistols "a inches long they could not conceal them
But long the little pocket pistols plentiful
in Georgia there will be fellows who will conceal
them.
1t is no longer disputed that little mean
liquor in a man and pistol in his pocket have
caused more harm in Georgia than any other
agencies.

Poor Joe Hill Hall.

From the Moutrie Observer
There is something pathetic in the disappont-
ment that has over the life of Hon. Joe Hill,
the bewhskered statesman of Bibb. Mr.. Hall is
possibly the original reformer in Georgia affairs,
and now that his dreams along reform lines have
been realized having been made possible by others,
the old feels that he is not even allowed small
seat on the band wagon.
When his anti pass bill, for the passage of
which he had been fighting for the past nine years,
came up before the House committee yesterday and
was reported that the bill pass by substitute, and
while the substitute provided for all he asked and
even, the lion hearted statesman wept. He felt
that the committee was usurping his prerogatives
in even offering any suggestion or amendment to
to the bill. He reminded the committee of how he
had fought for this measure when he stood almost
alone in it's advocacy; of how he had pushed it in
ill health he travelled the state at his own
pense advocating the measure, neglecting his bust
ness and his family: and now when victory was
coming his way of how new converts had come in to
claim the laurels. Mr.. Hall says he feels that he
has been badly treated and Inundated and feels
that he wants to leave the House and never show
his face there again.
Mr.. Halls pathetic appeal has aroused the
sympathy of many members who say they will vote
for his original bill as a compliment to him. Wlrile
they consider the substitute preferable.
Mr.. Hall feels that his own article is the only
genuine and there can be substi tute-nothing
"just as good" or better.

1t Is This Way.

Inc present. ctllUOT OF Inc CeuUlnCl Is NOW u UC-
lever in State prohibition local option, municipal
restriction or any other form of enactment that
may be consistent with our laws. Wehaye avowed
these principles from pulpit, press and stump for
many years, and we do not believe that in future
there will be any reason for a change.
1t now seems that the question Of state prohi-
biton is about to engage the attention of the legs
lature and the people of the state to a greater de-
gree than any other, and while we hope that it may
prevail, are very much afraid that it will not.
We notice in the mix up that some people are
disposed to blame some other people for the con
diton things have gotten into. Ii those who taver
state prohibition, and blame other folks, will just
refresh themselves by study OF the files of certain
newspapers they will find that they have taken too
much for granted. The question of state prohibi-
ton did not enter into the late campaign except to
very limited degree. The prohibitionsts actually
and apparently willingly, sunk this issue beneath
the issue of disfranchsement, with the dea doubt
less, that this accomplished, the other would be
easy. This DONE too, in the face of the decla-
ration of the standard bearer of disfranchisement
that he local optionist.
Some seem to think the question was incor-
porated in the democratic party platform of the
state If so, it does not appear that way to our
reading. What does appear, 50 far as We are able
to discern, is that shrewd politicians i'll the
larger cities beguiled the prohibitionists to give
their candidate well nigh the voting strength of
prohibition in Georgia under misrepresentation.
If the measure suffers defeat in the present leg
islature, we will not have to search far for the
cause and that may prove blessing in the end.
The question confronting us is very

As citizen of Georgia. and us citizen Of vt
lanta, under the terms upon which he was made
chief executive the governor has moral right to
send the legislature message fayoring local option,
and the prohibitionists who voted for Gov Smith
have no right to blame him or his partisan news
