THE PARLOR RIFLE NUISANCE.
A Suggestion That the Legislature

Remedy the Evil.
IS. w. T." calls attention through
the columns Of The News and Cour-
Ter to the parlor rife nuisance. He
says:
II saw in Saturdays paper that
a twelve-year-old boy was shot by
a fourteen-year-old lad neal Winns-
boro at a distance Of 400 yards. Now
who Is to blame for this accident.
as It will be called an accident?
While l claim it was no accident.
as anyone will agree who knows
anything about a 22-calibre rife, that
it will do damage at 500 yards IL 1t
should be fred at an elevation and
the bullet should bit anyone. Why
will parents allow their boys to have
those little rifles? It seems to me
that the parents Of boys should be
held responsible for accidents OF this
kind.
1.-The parlor rifle nuisance Is grow
ing. Every hardware store show
window has them displayed to tempt
the boys to buy the.d. As Their, 10
very little game to shoot with them
7 can't see why parents will allow
their boys to have them. Most par
tents think them toys, and when
harm Is done to An innocen. per-
son 400 yards away they Will cay
accident A shotgun with small
shot would not do much damng, at
$50 yards, and il the boys would
shoot shotguns they could see any
one at that distance and would not
shoot them. But 1t is different with
the rife, as it is liable to kill some
one out Of sight Of them when they
shoot small birds on fences and
bushes the right height to give the
right elevation. hope the next Leg
islature will take up this nuisance
and see If there can't be some law
passed to remedy the evil"

o MUCH BOOZE
Being Used In Marlboro County to
Suit Grand Jury.

Over In Marlboro county they have
had prohibition for forty odd years,
a long. long time before the old
State dispensary system was ever
conceived OF, and when the dispense
ry did come Marlboro did not join
In. but remained dry. The grand
jury Of that county has just made
a presentment In which 1t calls at
tention to the large and increasing
lawless element in that county which
the jury states Is caused by the sale
Of whiskey. The status Of AFFAIRS
will prove interesting in view OF
the fact that fifteen other counties
OF the State are about to embark
upon the prohibition boat and the
working Of the law in these counties
Is going to be watched closely.
