From the Daily Bulletin
Must Have License
To Buy Fire Arms
If Proposed Bill for Next
Legislature Becomes
A Law.

Atlanta, Ga. 16 Atlanta Off
Gals, from the police department
and City hall, backed by the
municipal public safety commit
tee. have decided to lead a fight
at the next session of the legis-
lature to a step further than the
presen pistol-toting law, and
exercise a direct censorship over
the sale of small firearms.
The proposition is to make it
unlawful for a dealer to sell a
pistol to anybody unless the
would-be purchaser has first OBJ
tanned from the county ordinary
a license emitting him to make
the purchase. The dealer selling
the pistol wouldEbe obliged under
the law to make report of the
sale. and so a track could be kept
on all the weapons.
The scheme has received wide
local endorsement, and will be
submitted to the general assem-
bly,, for discussion and what
ever amendment is necessary.
Under the present law, tits un-
lawful to carry a pistol without
first obtaining a permit, but
there is no law prohibiting their
sale to anybody, and the dealer,
particularly the pawn-shop dealer
whose window is "a spectacular
arsenal of deadly weapons, has a
perfect legal right to sell his au-
tomato pistols and six shooter
revolvers to the most irresponsi-
BILE negro, or the most vicious
white man who has the purchase
price.

One Good Resolution
Hasn't Been Broken

Atlanta, Ga. 16-Asthe season
for making land breaking all
sorts of New Year resolutions
rolls around again, there, comes
with it series of reports from
this and other southern commun-
tiles tending to show that at least
one good resolution made by the
southern people last year has
been kept unbroken.
A comparatively few years ago
a little band of business and IL
nancial leaders in the south, rep
resenting no single line of bust
ness, and boasting for no selfish
projects, pledged themselves to
preach and disseminate the new
business gospel of keeping mon
ey at home by patronizing home
industries and institutions"
They made it apply to all lines
of business and activity. They
sought to make it the slogan of
the new south, from year to year
the soundness of the economic
doctrine became more and more
apparent and a year ago thous-
ands of people had subscribed to
the idea.
The first statistical reports OF
southern institutions which come
in this year to show the splendid
result of putting that maxim IN
to practice, are made by the
southern fire insurance compan-
les, which report rapid a n d
steady growth. The fire insur-
