few LICENSES ISSUED
FOR PISTOL CARRYING
Only Thirty-SiX Licenses Is
sued in Sumter.

1t is rather Illuminating comment
airy on the success, or failure, as one
sees fit to regard it, of the new pis-
tol-carrying law in Georgia, to know
that only thirty-six licenses have been
issued by the ordinary to persons for
this purpose, and that every one of
the thirty-six license holders are
whites.
To say that only the thirty-six per-
sons to whom licenses have been is
sued are the only ones carrying pistols
in Sumter county would be enough to
bring a smile to the face of an Egypt
ian mummy but such is supposed to be
the true state of affairs in accordance
with the provisions of the law.
If the record in Sumter county is
representative of those even in a ma
jority of the counties Of the state
then the statue is notable more in the
breach than in the observance. AS the
law has been, or is supposed 0 have
been, in force here since its passage
by the last legislature, it is supposed
that it would be in force now if it is
to be enforced. Consequently the sta
tistics made known by the recent
grand jury are of unusual interest.

a Dreamer In Denver,

Herman Maslin, a young German
Socialist, has come to this city. says
a Denver dispatch, to teach new eco
nomic reform, which he believes will
result in the absorption of labor unions
and all similar organizations. The or
ganization is to be known as the Work
ers' Welfare league. OF course he is
decidedly opposed to the present meth
DDS of conducting labor unions and
will attempt to secure converts for
his idealistic idealism. 1t is proposed
in the formation of this new panacea
to eliminate the charges for initiation
and dues to very great extent. He
designates initiation fees and dues as
"a tariff on being allowed to work
and as rottenness in the unions"

PRINTERS CONVENTION.
New Arbitration Agreement Made
With Publishers.

Now that the completed proceedings
of the San Francisco convention of the
International Typographical union have
been received it is possible to give
synopsis Of the progress made in arbi-
tration.
The new arbitration agreement with
the American Newspaper Publishers
association provides that local boards
be established to hear all disputes,
the boards to consist of five mem
bers, two to be named by each side,
and one Of each side shall be free
from personal connection with or d.
rect interest in any newspaper or any
labor union" These four shall elect
a fifth member, who shall act as chair
man and be disinterested person.
Appeals may be taken from such local
boards to the national board of arbi-
tration, but no new evidence shall be
heard. A proposition to extend the
agreement to cover the book and job
branch of the trade was placed in the
hands Of the executive council to work
out.
All piecework and bonuses on limo
types were abolished and fiat time
scale established, except in cases
where contracts on a piecework basis
are now in effect. Some of such con-
tracts run for five years hence. The
delegates to the American Federation
of Labor reported, 1--WE cannot too
strongly recommend that the locals
and their members actively interest
themselves in securing the election to
congress of men who will aid in
amending the Sherman antitrust law
to exempt trade unions from prosecu-
ton under its provisions" The report
was concurred in.
The convention Cancelled the note for
$4,000 loaned to the United Hatters'
union during its lockout in 1909. thus
making it donation instead of loan.

UNIoNISM MORAL.

Unionism is constructive and
evolutionary and does not tend
to disrupt society. No church
teaches a higher morality than
the pledge of the union.
The union teaches the laboring
man his obligations as well as
his rights, and there can be no
rights without corresponding OBJ
legations. He is taught his rights
and how to restrain himself
Unionism has advanced the
standard Of living, increased the
efficiency Of the workman, rails
ed the moral tone of the COM
munity, defended the weak,
brought into closer touch the re-
lations of employer and employee.

man rather than the dollar and

but a person or an institution

universal problem Of the world.

pie who enjoy hearing the best in

course will be an intellectual feast,

Gay attempt
We believe there is desire on
the part of many TO hear such men
rs we have engaged. 1t has been on
our mind for couple Of years. We
have thought over 1t a great deal. It
was first planned to make 1t self
supporting by making a nominal
charge for the course tickets. The
problem of organizing the business
side Of it and selling the tickets
Ioomed up. Would 1t cost as much to
sell the tickets as to provide the
talent? Would the people buy tick
cts to a course OF plain scholarly
lectures? Would the people appreciate
our unselflsh motives or would they
criticize us and say we were trying
TO make a little money OFF the few
who enjoyed culture and learning?
And another thought developed-a-e
there not a great many people who
enjoy things of this sort who can
not, with justice to themselves and
10 the children they are educating, af-
ford to pay FOR entertainment OF this
sort! -
So with all these questions con-
fronting us The Record has determ-
1ned to put this course on absolutely
free of charge-and you and your
friends are invited. The Record will
pay all the bills. vfx [EfEr-
