Sell Him Some Sugar.

From the Shellman Sun.
Next time that man who takes
orders for some other towns job
printing establishment comes around
ask him if be wouldn't like to buy
some sugar. He'll very likely reply:
NO; l buy all my sugar at home. 3"
He knows that every dollar sent
away from home is dollar invested
in some other mans town.

PISTOL TOTERs SCORED.

The following extract from a
charge Judge John H. Martin, of the
Oconee circuit delivered to the grand
jury of Pulaski county deals with
an evil every good citizen should use
his best efforts to suppress:
The increasing number of homi-
cides is cause for general alarm
Last week in Laurens county there
were seven murder cases on the cal
endar, five of which were tried. Re
Gently on the dockets there were, ac-
cordiIg to my recollection, six or
seven murder cases in Dodge, eight
in Telfair, five or six in Montgomery
and for this term Of the court there
will be six in Pulaski, and these
homicides resulted from blind tigers
and carrying concealed weapons. If
the law against carrying concealed
weapons had been enforced many
who now lie beneath the sod would
be alive. Many who are now widows
would have their husbands to sup
port and maintain them, and not left
to fight the battle alone. Children
who are now fatherless would have
fathers to love and care for them.
If | fail to discharge my duty by
impressing upon you, the grand jury,
that it is your duty, in accordance
with your solemn Oaths, to make dill
igent inquiry as to violators of this
law. whether they be white or coll
ored, old or young, rich or poor, in
low stations or high stations in life,
and find true bills against them when
the evidence warrants you in doing
so, and the petit juries fail to con-
vict them when proven guilty, and
fail to impose such sentences as
will deter persons from violating this
law we will be responsible for the
bloody victims of the men who carry
concealed pistols, and God will not
hold us guiltless of their blood. No
living man can conjure up even a
plausible excuse for carrying con
cealed weapons. If man is in dan
ger he can appeal to the law for
protection. The law does not deny
him the right to bear arms for his
protection. 1t simply requires him
to carry them in an open manner
and fully exposed to view Human
life is daily becoming more insecure
by reason of the pernicious practice
of carrying concealed weapons, &
practice without excuse or palliation
and which ends in murder. BY rig
idly enforcing the law against those
carrying concealed weapons you no.
only protect life, wives and children
but you are doing kindness to the
viOIator of the law himself, for BY
indicting him for carrying concealed
weapons you may save him from be
ing indicted and hung for murder

In the various discussions of the
high cost of living it is frequently
suggested that waste is responsible
for some of it. a Frenchman is re-
ported as saying that he could live
in any American village better than
any of the inhabitants on what the
inhabitants throw away. It is very
near the truth, too.

FROM WOMANS
POINT OF VIEW.

Long engagements are a mistake.
viewed in any light you choose. They rob
women Of the privileges OF spinsterhood.
the attentions Of masculine friends. and
freedom Of movement, while giving her
nothing in return save the companionship
Of one man at stated times. He IS not
bound by the same rigid rules OF conduct.
and he knows that his attractions are
not dimmed by years. particularly II he
is well fixed financially
am not advocating hasty marriages;
there is rarely a legitimate excuse for
them. II is proper and safe 20 wait long
enough to get acquainted with a future
partner before taking the final steps. but
after being persuaded that he offers a
reasonable hope Of happiness II is a waste
OF time TO put on the ceremony. What
ever obstacles are in the path are better
faced together than apart
I have seen so many women grow old in
waiting and finally be pushed into the
background by fairer. fresher face.
have seen men who found so much COM
fort in being made welcome at homes
whose support was no concern OF theirs
that they did not care TO change an en-
gagement for matrimony. In long en-
Igagements quarrels are easy and frequent
and repentance tardy at times. The mar
riage bond may not eliminate differences.
but II often bridges them over without
serious results. It is not easy TO cut ones
responsibilities and run from annoyances
when there is the law 10 consider.
A broken engagement used 10 be regard
ed as a species OF disgrace. and that
drove women into unwelcome marriage
1t is still a serious matter 20 cast a pledge
aside. but II is better than spelling life
There are occasions where knowledge OF
the past or discovery Of characteristics or
habits makes marriage undesirable. and
surely those are the times 20 act without
regard for public opinion.
Secret marriages are not always TO be
commended. though there is excuse for
them sometimes. The couple whose par
ents have sanctioned their relations do
no wrong IN quietly slipping away TO
avoid elaborate wedding preparations.
There IS nothing wrong with a secret
marriage which does not intimately con-
Germ a family. But the man or woman
who voluntarily wounds parents by choos-
ing an unwelcome partner Is rlghtfuIly
condemned. There is such thing as con-
sideration for others, ignore It as we
may. BETTY BRADEEV
