The Evil of the Concealed Deadly
Weapon.
From the Augusta Chronicle.

"Why do we encourage the killing OF hui
man beings and the trade of banditry and
robbery by permitting the indiscriminate
sale of murderous weapons? How short
sighted it is that we place such little re-
strction upon the sale of pistols and re-
volvers to the DULLES who always have
chip on their shoulders and to the thugs who
hold us up and strip us of our valuables. We
have made it a crime to carry a concealed
weapon but have done nothing to make it
difficult for the criminal to buy the weapon
without which he would be helpless.-Daw-
son News
Enforcement OF the laws against the carry
ing of concealed or deadly weapons is difficult
However, some courts have applied them
sternly with good results.
Without state cooperation to attempt laws
forbidding the ownership, manufacture and
sale of deadly weapons would be futile.
There is no question that the hip pocket
the ever ready pistol-has been responsible
for a great number of homicides. Many a kill
ing would not have taken place but for the
fact that the implement Of death was at hand.
Just what to do about it no one seems to
know Requiring license to carry a pistol
has not solved the problem. Defining legal
arms as arms too large to be concealed about
the person has resulted in little good. Prob
ably a crusade to apprehend and punish all
who carry guns concealed might be fruitful
of desired results.

The Southwark Flight.

The autumn season is moving time Tor birds
feathered army mighty in numbers is now
changing station. The birds which make their
summer homes and rear their broods in this
locality and farther north are now moving in
an ordered procession southwark. Many of
them have already departed but many others
from countries as far north as the Arctic
circle are yet to pass over us in their semi
annual migration. In September we have the
vanguard of this army, and in October the
main body In November and the winter
months following the rear guard reaches us.
The army comes and goes without any fan
fare of trumpets One day its battalions are
here, and the next day they are gone. The
birds do their travelling almost wholly by
night They travel in great companies, in
GLIDING many different species. Certain OF
them cover immense distances in single
flight. stopping neither to feed nor to rest.
Others progress south by stages, lingering by
dav to gather sustenance and strength for
the Journey Is it not miraculous provision
of nature that enables these little creatures to
make their uncharted way unerringly through
the bleakness OF the night? Dark as the night
may be they follow well defined lanes OF
travel. The dlm1nutlve hurnnlng DrdS, merest
atoms in the great ocean Of space, with the
others accomplishes this miracle.
There is a Power whose care
Teaches thy way along that painless coast
The desert and illimitable air
Lone wandering, but not lost"
Where does this migrating host go into
winter quarters? A part Of them go no further
than the southern borders OF our own country
others stop in the islands of the sea and in
the Central American states, while the re-
mainder proceed to South America, even to
the farthest tip OF Patagonia. 1t is strange
and mysterious impulse that causes the ebb
and flow of this tide-a mystery that man has
not yet been able TO unrave and only guesses
at 1t is one of the commonest and at the
same time one of the most wonderful occur
rences in the natural world.

Senator Newberry's Case.

Nothing contained in the majority report OF
the senate committee which investigated Sen
ator Newberrys election encourages belief
that the senator will be deprived OF his seat.
The News has not departed from its opinion,
Notwithstanding, that the senator's seat should
be declared vacant. The majority OF the COM
mittee comedies that too much money was eX-
pended in his election, although it eXonerates
Mr. Newberry of blame therefor Personally
Mr. Newberry may be entirely unobjectiona-
bic, but the United States senate should put
its seal OF disapproval upon the practice OF
using unlimited sums Of money in senatorial
elections No considerations of either public or
partisan expediency now justify the retention
of the Michigander in his seat Neither are
there considerations justifying further delay in
action upon the case. The senate should act
at once 1t should hand Mr.. Newberry his
hat and hasten his return to Michigan. The
News guess, however, is that it will not do it.

A State Without a Tax Levy.

For the first time in its sixty-three years
of statehood the state OF Minnesota will not
levy a tax this year for revenue purposes This
is made possible by heavy receipts from cor
poration taxes and by surplus of nearly
$14,000000 which remained in the state treas
ury at the close of the last fiscal year. The
states expenditures last year were something
less than $50,0OOOOO, which reveals the i'm
mense sums that are collected as corporation
taxes. The situation of Minnesota in this re-
spect is extraordinary.
Generally state tax levies are increasing
rather than disappearing and treasury sur
pluses are as rare as deficits are common. 1t
is evident Minnesota has made the best use Of
its opportunities to levy toll upon the corpora
tons

MOONLIGHT.

When l lie awake in the silent night
And the clock ticks loud in the hall,
A brush that is dipped in the silver light
Paints pictures rare on my WALL
Dark clustering leaves are sharply etched
And delicate tangles of vines,
Faces OF dryads and fauns are sketched
And feathery branches OF pines.
The night wind blows and the dryads dance
And the pointed hoofs of the fauns
In and out OF the shadows glance
On the turf OF woodland lawns.
And the snowy arms OF naiad shine
From the foam of waterfall,
For the man in the moon is an artist fine
And draws on my chamber wall

A Hopeful Sign.

The increased enrolment reported from the
colleges and universities of Georgia is hope
full and encouraging sign, coming as it does
in the midst of so much that is discouraging
in our national life
The best that Georgia has in the way OF
young manhood and young womanhood 1t
sends to its university and to other higher
schools of learning. There are many reasons
for qualification that an increasing number of
young people realize the benefits to be gained
from higher education. Culture IS the hope
of the race and its institutions. II we are to
be saved from the perils that menace us it is
culture that will do it. There is no danger
that society will go to wreck as long as the
young people crowd the halls and strain the
resources OF our colleges and universities 1t is
ar honor to train these young men and wo-
men for service.

"Be sure that your sin will find you out"
Every sinner that has lived since time began
has believed that he could sin and not get
found out. The lesson that men cannot sin
and not be found out is one that has to be
learned by each succeeding generation of men
through bitter experience. The news of the
day is filled with the stories of men whose
sin has found them out, recent instance be-
ing that OF young man in Atlanta who was
popular in political and official circles and was
widely known and esteemed throughout the
state. Still each new generation is confident
that it can turn the trick, though all human
Experience is against it. What strange and
unexplainable faulty.

The merchants of Dawson have selected
their stocks with great care and there is no
need or excuse for the people living in this
territory to go or send elsewhere for what
they require in staple goods or the most ex-
elusive ready-to-wear garments, in one-piece
dresses, coat suits top coats reception gowns,
etc No city of its size has stores offering bet
ter stocks and greater variety in styles than
can be found in Dawson, and the keen COM
petition in every line OF merchandise works to
the interest of the buyer. The merchants are
doing their part to make this town the bust
ness center of this section, and it is up to the
shoppers who want their home town grow
and prosper to see that Terrell county money

THINK THIS OVER.

From the Fl. Gaines Georgian
Petty jealousy and personal animosites
have no proper place in any community At
best they are unpleasant and usually they re-
tard worthwhile progress In every locality
there are some people who do not get along"
with some other people, but in every place
where group pride and ambition are strong
the persons who snap and snarl at each other
about more or less trivial affairs will lay aside
their differences at those times when concert
ed action is required in behalf of community
welfare 1t is permissible, perhaps, for two
men to fight over matters which concern only
but they have no right to infict
their quarrel on the neighborhood to the ex-
tent OF developing two sides to a matter that
can have only one side when viewed from the
standpoint Of right or eXpediency.

Stunts in the Air.

To provide thrills for the crowds and to
obtain money for themselves daring men and
women perform Stunts" in airplanes and leap
from great heights in parachutes. Some OF
them are still living, and may be seen as at
fractions at fairs that will be held in Georgia
during this and next month. Others have paid
for the recklessness of their performances.
Sooner or later, according to the law OF
"stunt" flying, all who keep at it will pay,
A false step, or a parachute that will not
open, and it is all over.
Young girls of II and Is have recently
gone into what they call "the game and are
offering themselves on the altar of chance to
satisfy the morbid curiosity of the thousands
who paw to witness the spectaCles. Women
have been killed at trick and fancy flying and
at parachute jumping. Now and then the
best aviators come down to destruction when
doing nothing but straight flying, which really
ought to be dangerous enough for anybody
Some years ago. when flying was first &C
complished the mere fact that man could
fly was thrilling enough No demand was
made for Stunts" Those came later and are
now in demand, although the price often paid
is that of performers life
Stunt" flying seems to be such an empty
useless manner of entertaining and amusing
the people. 1t would be better for thousands
never to see parachute descent than toi
them to witness the horrible plunge OF one
performer that ends in death.

In August, 1920, the number of railway
employees in service was 2,197,824. In April,
1921, this number had been reduced to 1,542,-
716, decrease of 655,108, or nearly 80 per
cent This reduction was enfofced by the rail
way companies in an effort to lower operating
costs made high in large part by high wages.
In this case higher wages than the traffic
would bear have resulted directly in depriving
100000 men of employment. No one can
calculate how many other hundreds of thous-
ands have been deprived OF employment in
directly from the same cause. Would not these
hundreds of thousands of idle men, and So
ciety as well, be better off employed at a
lower wage than they are idle with no wage
lat all?

Protect Your Credit.
From the Georgia Press Bulletin.

The Dawson News has been publishing
some sensible page advertisements upon the
above subject. Says The News, in part:
'Silence is discourteous.
Neglect is unbusinesslike.
Delay is dangerous
This combination results in a very un-
pleasant condition Of affairs. 1t is simply max
ing bad matters worse; adding fuel to the
fire. weakening an already frail structure.
MANY a mans credit is lost because of those
three faults-Silence, Neglect Delay The
merchant, the banker, the professional man,
are hard-headed business men with hearts
and responsive souls. No man need fear his
creditor, if he is 'toting fair"
OF course, The News intent was to bring
these truths sharply to the attention of the
public, and in doing this was building wisely,
and we doubt not many man has been in
duced to change his methods and pay his
debts
