WEAPONS MUST BE DESTROYED.

The Kosciusko Star Ledger con-
tains the following relative to the
new concealed weapon law, and it is
hoped that the publication will have
good effect, by calling the attention
Of peace officers and law abiding citi-
zens to it's provisions.
The new code provides in addi-
tion to the usual penalty for carrying
concealed weapons. that when there
is q conviction for such an offense the
weapon shall be forfeited to the State
and destroyed, section is as follows:
I" Section 1104-Upon the convic-
tion Of any person under the proceed
ing section, the weapon shown in
such case to nave been carried con-
cealed in whole or in part, shall be
forfeited to the State and shall be de-
livered to the Sheriff Of the county.
who shall forthwith publicly destroy
the same.
Section 1106 provides that all deal-
ers that sell bowie knives, pistols
and other deadly weapons. and cart-
ridges shall keep = record Of all sales
made, the kind Of weapon sold. to
whom sold and date Of sale. This
record to be open to inspection BY
the public.
The cause Of this legislation was

COCHRAN AND THE "BuCkET SHOPS. .

NO(nkAN AND I1C "BUCkEI SHOPS
There must be some mistake about
the newspaper reports emanating
from Meridian. They report that
Judge Cochran held . conference
with the violators of law who, are
running bucket shops" in the city
of Meridian, and that the result OF
the conference was treaty whereby
Judge Cochran agreed that the
bucket shop" men might continue
to violate the law for six months
longer because Of the fact that the
bucket shop" violators Of the law
said they had already made contracts
to continue the violation Of the law,
and if they were not permitted to
carry out these contracts, continuing
the violation Of the law, they would
be the losers thereby. No sane, con-
scientious judge could consent to such
q proposition Of lawlesness; hence our
reluctance to believe the reports.
Think Of blind tiger" man holding
q conference with judge Of the court
and ia the negotiations telling the
judge that he had bought q large stock
Of whiskey, and If he were not per-
mitted to continue his unlawful sale
OF his whiskey for six months he
would be financially injured, and
think Of the Judge making q treaty
with him to permit HIM to thus con
time violation Of the law in order to
save himself from financial loss. It
is too preposterous to suppose that q
sober. sane, honest judge would make
any such treaty with criminals for the
the licensing Of crime.

EXTRA WORK FOR ASSESSORS.

Speaking OF the stew which has
been created In the circles Of the
County Assessors over the request or
order from the Commissioner Of Ag.
ricultural products, the Magnolia Ga
zette, among other things. observes:
1t will require as much Of the As
SCISSORS time to secure these statistics
as It does to take the personal as
sessment Of the county. In fact, Pike
County's Assessor declares that there
is more work in obtaining the in
formation desired by the Commits
sioner than there is in making the
personal roll Of this county. But
this is not yet all. After having gone
through with the laborious and tedi-
Gus process Of interviewing every
farmer in the county and securing
his replies to these questions, the
Assessor must prepare reoapitula
ton of his investigations in tabu.
lated form, thus reducing the. whole
to concise statement, showing the
agricultural resources Of the county
In view Of the immense amount
Of labor entailed. and the fact that
no compensation therefor IL allowed
by law, it is doubtful il many As
SCISSORS in the State will attempt to
gather their statistics in the manner
required by the Commissioner. That
official in his circular letter Of in
struction urges the Assessors to dc
the work, and declares himself sat.
isfied that the failure Of the Legisla-
ture to provide pay for same was
clearly an oversight. which we'll be
remedied at the next session. But
the Assessors are mindful Of the ex.
treme difficulty Of getting the Legis.
lature to pay for services already
rendered, and they will hardly be
much impressed with the Commits
sioner's assurance Of future reward. "

sought no reward, save from God and

elsewhere paid as q minister always
scant--as the reward OF the conse-
Grated servant Of God all too uniform

large family. to put anything away
for a rainy day.
In May. 1904, he took pneumonia

his case one Of sstuberculosis. His
