THE MENACE OF CONCEALED
WEAPONS. !.

The recent statement by Judge Mad
dox, of Rome, relative to the menace
that is met by the people of the state
in the indiscriminate sale and carry
ing of deadly weapons, contains a
TRUTH that has been considered by the
Legislators of several states during re-
cent years.
With reference to the enforcement
of the law concerning the carrying OF
concealed weapons, Judge Maddox is
quoted as saying:
THE law against carrying concealed
weapons is already severe enough. il
only the judges would enforce it. The
law permits us to sentence for one
year in the changing, six months in
jail land fine of $1,000-all three
But no matter how severe the penalty
for carrying concealed weapons may
be, we can never stop the practice un.
til we make it so you can't go to a
dozen places on the street and buy one
OF the things. Let us all be disarmed
and then buy no more. While all this
talk is going on about changing the
aW so as to make pistol-toting a felony
want to say that what we need is
a law to prevent the sale of pistols
The observations made by Judge
Maddox are pertinent and timely. The
practice of carrying concealed weap-
ons is one that is far too prevalent
in many sections of the state 1t leads
to a great many difficulties, especial
y on election days and at other pub
lie meetings where there is a great
deal of excitement. The indiscrimin-
ate carrying of concealed weapons is
reflection on the manliness of the
men of Georgia. 1t is essentially the
part of a coward to tuck away a pis-
toll in one of his pockets on any and
every occasion. The man who does
not feel easy until he has a pistol on
his person is little less than a moral
degenerate. His real manly stamina
is badly impaired, and he ought to be
shown a thing or two in the rudimeu-
tary principles of manliness.
Granting that all this is true, it is
difficult to see how the suggestions
made by Judge Maddox can be enact
ed into law. Let us all be disarmoA
and then buy no more" is splendid ad-
vice. It reminds one of the teachings
of TOlstOi and Emerson in this par
ticular, but can such advice be cry
stalled into law with any hope that
the law will be seriously regarded. Ii
would doubtless be better for all con-
cerned if people would follow this
plan. but the change to be desired
is one more likely to be effected
through an educational. rather than Z
legislative process. If the sale of fire
arms is prohibited in Georgia, they
can he bought elsewhere. If our youne
men-and grown men, too, for that
imatter-can gain a higher conception
of what manhood really is, it wouli
| probably do more toward solving the
difficulty than anything else.

fist will only smile and mutter the sin

True, a heavy dOWnpour of rain will
wash the dust out of the air but it is
the ozone which adds the crisp
bracing strength to the atmospher,
after a violent thunder shower. 1t is
the lure of ozone which attracts mil
lions from the hot, sitting cities to the
Fsea and mountains. 1t is this strange
quality of the life-giving atmosphere
which cIeanses the blood and build
up the body, for ozone is form OF
oxygen possessing a great purifyina

deadly to all disease germs. 1t is the

the fresh air of the big outdoors.
AS matter Of fact, ozone has been
known to scientists since 1910. when
Professor Schoenbein of Basic, Swift
erland, discovered it, The European
scientists have devoted considerable
time to it's study, with a view to maxi

large. Europe is in the lead of the
United States in this respect, having
a number of concentrating methods
which are in extensive use in hotels,
theatres, churches, factories, offices,
stores. public buildings and homes.

American scientists, although admit
ting the great value of the manufactur-
ed as we'll as the natural ozone, made
little use of it except as a germicide
and deodorant, it being especially eff,
fective for such purposes.
With the development of CHEAP ell
ectrical power, however, the ozonizar
as commercial proposition became
practical and American inventive gem
JUS was called upon to get busy and a
number of different varieties of idea:
were developed.
Europe, with it's two years start
has made, great strides which outline
the herculean task set for ozone in the
United States in cleaning the Augean
stables of the cities of air which has
been breathed and rebreathed by a
thousand persons of varying degrees
of health, and filled with dust and filth
and gases. The war against tubercu-
losis takes on new and definite promise
of great progress. What has been ac-
complished and what task ozone has
been set to cope with abroad shows tn,

In a number of wards, these figures are approximations, as the ward lines have been changed and new additions to the city have been made to the city since the last election
 With regard to registrations, the council decided, after some argument, that there should be one registration officer in addition to the city clerk, for the present. P. l.. Brennan was ap- pointed to this position. He will re- eeive 20 cents per name for all registra. tions.
 As City Clerk Welch is unable to handle the office work for the coming election without assistance, the coun- cil voted to allow him an assistant at S75 per month, until such time as the work had returned to its normal.
 The work of registering voters for the coming election will begin not later than next Monday and as the change in the election laws will cause much extra work, the city clerk s -office will present scene of much activity for the next several weeks.

Preparatory to the holding of the coming municipal elections, primary and general the city council held an adjourned session last night, at which general resolution covering the coming campaign was adopted.
 This resolution, drafted from the elec- tion laws adopted at the last session of the legislature, purports mainly to fix the dates of the operation of the diff ferent features of the new law. It pro- vides for the appointment of election judges, verifeation of the nomination papers of the various candidates, pub lication of election notices, making up of sample and regular ballots and in general providing for the regulation of the coming election.
 This resolution is important to pros pective candidates, as it fixes the party vote of the democrats, republicans and socialists in the different wards and in the city. This vote, on which the number of signers to the various nom- ination papers will be based, is as fol- lnx-S.

By those who are eonversant with the history relating to the existing condi- tions at the time and in the place where the scenes of "Tempest and Sunshine " are laid, it is said that they are re- markedly true to life.

 The management has spared no ex. pense to provide his stars with sup porting east as strong as the best, and the result is eminently satisfactory, both from financial and artistic stand point. The story is wholesome and true and the gamut of human emotions are run during the progress of the play. It entrances, thrills, delights and ed flies. It has the fancies of fiction founded on facts, and gives even the frivolous something to think about af- ter they leave the theater. "Tempest and Sunshine,'' the dramatization of Mary J. Holmes popular novel, is the season $ success. This standard produc- tion will be seen at Dreamland on Sat urday and Sunday evenings.

THE THREE sHAMRoCKs

A roaring comedy amused the crowds at the Majestic last night, the Reed and Arbuckle company presenting ''The Three Shamrocks."
 The three shamroeks were three Irish laborers and they were the boarders of an Irish landladv with two incorrigible children. Also they gave an excellent exhibition of how three able bodied lab orers can put in whole day doing nothing.
 The stage setting was very good, one scene representing the brick wall they were building and all the accompanying paraphernalia, including the cement machine and gasoline engine.
 Some very good musical numbers were introduced, among them being several duets and trios by the three Irishmen.
 Miss Madeline Rowe sang several solos, one being s'Silver Threads Among the Goldp 2 Miss Rowe gave an ex- hibition of the young singers first ap- pearance in public and several other kinds of singers in this number.

NEW YORK, February 1.-The principal taet imparted by the~action of the stock market today was its lapse m a large part, into the hands of the professional element.
 This element had been impressed on Friday with assertions put in circula- ton regarding the contents of Presi- dent Taft s speech, then in prospect for Saturday night. Perusal of the speech disclosed no sign of retractions which had been broadly insinuated to come in the Friday reports, and professional op- orators in stocks promptly retracted the steps taken on Friday before the two days holiday interval in the markett This was the cause of the marking back of prices from one to over two points in the opening transaction of stocks. --.

MAY BE INSANE AS RESULT OF BLOW
 ON HEAD

Charged with insanity, D. A. Mabin was yesterday arrested and placed in custody, awaiting an examination be- fore P. c. Robertson, judge of the pro bate court.
 While working in the Old Dominion mine, some time ago, Mabin was injured by slight blow upon the head He was apparently not seriously hurt, but after a few weeks, epileptic attacks de- veloped and since that time he has not been well, although he has generally seemed to be rational.
 Several months ago, Mabin broke into the limelight by shooting an In- dian boy in the Finals. It was shown that the Indian had been caught in the act of robbing camp and had made an attempt to secure a revolver from his belt before Mabin fired upon him, and as the result, Mabin was ex- onerated by the grand jury.
 Mabin secuted the idea that he was insane, when seen by the Silver Belt, yesterday, claiming that his arrest was the result of plot on the part of his neighbors to secure a small piece of ground above town, upon which he has made homestead filing.

MAN FROM BOSTON
 BOASTS PLOT
Story of Love and Comedy Threads Way Through
 Musical Maze

While the lack of plot in musical comedy has been the source of newspa- per jokes ever since this variety of amusement made its appearance on the boards, "The Man from Boston. ' which is to be presented at Dreamland Thursday night by the Globe lodge of Elks, has plot enough to give it a place among successful comedies. even if the delightful musical numbers should be omitted
 "The Man from Boston" has to do with one Colonel Saunders. The colo nel s son, Carl, is in love with the com panion of his sister, which attachment IS frowned upon by the colonel. It also happens that Bruce, Carl's chum, is in love with the colonel's daughter, and this alliance is also frowned upon.
 Both young men are forbidden to show themselves at the colonel's house. When he secures new tutor for his daughter, however, both Carl and Bruce conceive the idea, unknown to each oth- CT, of impersonating the tutor in or der to be near their sweethearts and the complications which result are easily seen,
 
 In a general way, "The Man from Boston" resembles, at its opening, "Three Twins" As the plot contil, ues, however, the difference between the two shows increases until there is practically nothing in common between them.
 The Reed-Arbuckle company, Billy Cummings and Ed Keith will look af- ter the comedy parts of the show, while members of the Elks' lodge will take part in the musical numbers. The parts have all been well cast, as have the musical numbers and an excellent in- depreciation of the comedy is pro- duced.
 An active ticket selling campaign was in progress yesterday and the perform ance will, to all appearance, be well attended. X. Ali
