OLD ACT STILL GOOD
BOTH PISTOL STATUTES ARE IN
 EFFECT.
Hon. Sam Will John, Author of 24- Inch Pistol Law, Gives His Views on It's
 Sfatua.

Hon. Sam Will John of Birmingham, author of the big pistol act of the last Legislature, in a letter to Sheriff Hor- ace Hood yesterday answered a point raised few days ago in the City Court as to whether the old act was repealed by the new act. MT. John answering the letter of enquiry of the Sheriff, said that the old act was not repealed and was In effect for the beneft of any prisoner who might escape the new act.
 MT. Will John wrote the Montgom- cry County Sheriff on this point as fol- lows:
 Tn my judgment Section s421 of the Code of 1907. is not repealed by the act of November 23, 1907 which is printed just below Section 6421.
 Both of these statutes have a field of operation and neither interferes at all with the other. Your question as to the constitutionality of the act was answered blythe Supreme Court of Ala bama In Reeds case, First Alabama, 612. and if you care to prosecute the inquiry further, you will see that a ma jority of the State Supreme Courts have held similar laws to be constitutional.
 q do not remember any Supreme Court, except that of Georgia. which has held that the Legislature had not the power to prescribe the manner in which arms might be carried.
 You will notice that Section of the act of November 23. 1907, prohibits the sale, or bartering of small pistols brass knucks, dirks. sling shots, bowie knives, etc. This Is the most import ant part of that act, and 1t is the part that is generally overlooked, particu- Iarly in newspapers"

 SURPRISES
 ARE IN STORE Modest School Census Is
 Rumored. MONTGOMERY MIGHT SUFFER Said to Be Fewer School Children
 Than Before. omeinI Figures Have Not Been Made Public But Penalty For False Enumeration Is Reported to
 Have Had Effect.

Strong intimations have come from various parts of the State that the cen- sus of school children has been more accurately taken this year than ever before and that the new law on the subject, with a criminal section aimed at .'padding'' by the numerators, may result in sharp shake-ups in some Quarters
 There was rumor in the city yes terday to the effect that Montgomery's modesty in the matter of enumeration this year has heen striking. It is said officially that there will be shown to be fewer children of school age this year than two years ago when the last census was taken. c. W. Coving ton, county superintendent of educa- tion, will give out no figures as yet for any particular district as he is not required to compile his list for the county until the district trustees re- port on or before August Is.
 The reported decrease in the number of school children in the corporate linn it's of Montgomery is significant. It can only be explained by the new law on the subject of enumeration. If the enumerator made a false or fraudu- lent enumeration or report of the number of children within sshool age fbetween seven and twenty-one years), residing in his district" he Is liable to a line or not less than $100 nor more than $500. In addition, he would also be sentenced to hard labor for not less than six nor more than twelve months.
 It is said this incentive to accurate enumeration this year has had the de- Sired effect. It has cut down the so- called padding if any had been done. It is great equalizer, according to the father of this section of the code. Heretofore, there was no penalty or restriction on the man appointed to take school census, it being solely a conscience task. Nor did he get pay for his work out of any guaranteed fund. Under the new law the enumer- ator 10 paid out of the city treasury or the county box as the case may be.
 There is, however, a doubtful factor in the new enumerating system. It smacks of one difficulty of tax assess ments. The equalizing influence is discounted by varying degrees of con- scientious work on the part of the enumerators. Tn this county the busi- ness may be accomplished, 1t is said. by ever so modest and accurate work while in the other counties there may be a slackening of the conscience strings. And the more slack there is fin the conscience of the communities, of course. the greater the quota of States shekels for that community.

This gave rise to the rumor that the bulk of children of school age in our limits was dis appointing. If. however. there is a corresponding decrease in the figures for other cities and districts in the state by the operation of the same causes. the per capita of the State ap- propriation will be approximately raised. compensating for the threaten ing loss to this city in funds.
 Tn all events. it will be interesting to note the aggregate census for the State as the per capita can not be known until this is known.
