That most genial and affable
gentleman and talented physician,
DR.. R. T. Minor of Lesterville,
Reynolds county, mails a remit
lance that pays his subscription
up to September, 1911, and asks

Verify, if all subscribers we're like
the Dr., the country editors lot
would be a most enviable one.

The following, taken from the

twisted and destroyed when it gets
thirty miles from home: "Hattie

fusing to allow him to inspect
certain packages in his car. This

1t seems difficult to get the pub
lie to fully realize the full force
and effect of the new deadly
weapon law. Being caught with a
deadly weapon in your possession
can cost one a fine of one thousand
dollars and one year in Jail. The
least it can cost is a fine of one
hundred dollars and fifty days in
jail. The purpose of this law is to
absolutely stop the carrying Of
concealed weapons and if it is
properly enforced will do so. All
officers should be exceedingly
diligent in enforcing this law as it
is a protection to themselves and
reduces the risk of police duty if
no one is allowed to carry con.
cealed weapons. If courts would
apply the jail sentence to every
one found carrying concealed
weapons the practice would soon
be broken up.
