We notice that in Greenvllle some
time ago some Greenville county
bonds were sold at SlO2.63 and they
were only + II per cent bonds at
that. If our city authorities ever set
to the point where they will need the
money to put up a school building we
hope they will consider the advlsa-

than 5 per cent even if the bonds

PISTOL TOTING AND THE CARO-
LIMA LAW.

The Richmond county grand jury
having recommended the adoption OF
the South Carolina law and effort to
check the carrying of deadly weap-
ons concealed, the Florence Times,
published at Florence, S. c., warns
US: "Don It."
The Times says that it has had the
opportunity and has taken pains to
observe the operations of the law that
it has in force in its own State, and
that it is not effective.
"Don't do it neighbour" the paper
admonishes. ''Don't do it. The law
has accomplished no good in this
State. Just as many tragedies and
accidents happen in South Carolina
now as did before the law went into
efect.' The Times says:
''What We WANT is the enforcement
Of the law against carrying pistols.
1t is the concealed weapon that does
the mischief, and always will be. No.
body carries a pistol openly unless
there is necessity for it. A man Is
not ashamed to carry one concealed,
but he is ashamed to go around with
one stuck out of his pocket, where
it can be seen. The trouble is to get
people to make affidaNlts in the mat
ter and to have men punished when
they are caught with pistols. 1t is
public sentiment that needs to be
worked up. You want to show man
that he has not advanced beyond the
stage of the savage school boy when
he-considers it necessary to carry a
gun.
"Rieid enforcement of the law we
have will produce excellent results.
When the people begin to understand
that to get caught with a concealed
weapon means a term in jail-when a
few punishments like this are insist
ed upon-the practice will STOP"
The interesting statement has just
been made that in London not one
man in 100000 carries a concealed
weapon. In Berlin the same. In Paris
the carrying of weapons concealed IS
confined wholly to the criminal class.
Augusta Chronicle.
We think the Times is correct. No
one in this State who desires to tote
a pistol ever stops to consider that
it is a violation of the law and goes
on toting it just as if the law made it
his duty to do it. There was an ef-
fort to make pistols of certain length
and weight legal and not in violation
of the law to tote but the regulation
pistol that has been in use for years
is still used over here and no one IS
ever prosecuted for violating the law.
Sometimes a poor negro is found with
a pistol and is given small fine but
a white man is never even tried Tor
carrying pistols. The pistol habit Is
not confined to any class Or condition
in this State.

tail, s-.'a--''~ >'
1t was recited how the original
promoters and organizers of the COM
pany (who were mostly Kansas and
Missouri people) capitalized for one
million shares, with the idea in mind
OF setting apart certain quantity Of
stock to sell as treasury stock to aid
in the development of the companys
properties; how such plan was car
ried out up to the time when mos.
of the Kansas & Missouri people were
bought out by North Dakota people,
until at the presen. time the company
is distinctly a North Dakota PROPOSE
ton, with only few Of the original
stock holders.
The plan Of organization was con-
sidered and discussed and shown that
on the basis of the capitalization, the
present price of stock is too high;
that the price of shares had been ad-
vanced more rapidly than was justi-
fed by the progress Of the company.
That there are, at present inequalities
existing in the shares held by differ --.~
individuals, some having paid 3 per
cent per share when development
stared; some as high as Is cents as
the price now stands.
Manager Johnson, had been, for
some time, trying to adjust these in
CAPABILITIES and finally succeeded in
getting the great majority of the low
priced shareholders to agree on a
readjustment of the matter; the rest
was easy, for the shareholders paying
the increased prices were the ones
who would receive the greatest 'bene-
fit.
AS a result, a resolution was pass
ed unanimously, to organize a new
company under the North Dakota
laws, for $2OO,OOO.OO, represented by
100000 shares of par value of $1.OO
each, and that shareholders in the old
company should become stockhold-
ers of the new company exactly on
the same basis. That is to say, each
member Of the company = should re-
ceive stock only in proportion to the
amount OF money originally paid for
his stock. = --.. s

out by the new company which is

Herbert Kaufman a well known
writer, says in The woman's World
for October: "a new America is In the
making. The next ten years win see
century Of progress squeezed into q
decade. Cost OF living has so in-
creased-the struggle and the striving
and the backbreak and the heartache
for the right to exist have bred rev.
olution. The great chances no longer
lie among the crowds, but where the
crowds are in the making. America
has become land mRd--the sanesk
madness that ever stirred q people.
There was never time when young
man had less show in the old towns.
and where he had bigger play for
ability than he will find In the new
irrigated lands now available for eul-
ture."
The above words coming from the
pen Of such a man as Mr.. Kaufman.
must indeed command the attention of
the thinking man, who IL seeking TO
