Mount Airy News. JL B. JOHNSUN. E4it«r ul PaWMw. Mount Airjr, N. C.. April 5 It IT. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: 0*> —97. tkraa nontha, 25 Om copy. «U «o«Uw. M o- mm. <>»« y««r >t« The New Piatol Law. A caae in thin city thia week made prominent the new law governing the carrying of pistol*. A young man Percy Harris of thin section wan lie fore the Recorder Monday charged with carrying a concealed weapon. The evidence charged that h<- wan wen with the weapon last Saturday. The Court found that the evidence wan suf ficient to convict. Under the old law the young man would Tiave been let off with a small fine and the coat. But not *o now, for there wax passed by the laxt legislature a new law govern ing the offense. Under the new law there wax nothing to do but make the fine an even $(>1.00-—no lean but it could be made more. But it could not be lesa than 151.00, and no right ia, given the Judge under any circumxtan-i cex to remit any part of thin fine. The, court i( given the right to make it a jail xentence. of not less than 31 days in case the fine is not paid. But here again comes in an Interesting point. The county is not willing to foed thexe pistol toaters for the thirty one days, and xo the courts make it ninety days sc that the man can be sent to the; roads. This ruling has been made fori the reason that counties that work1 convicts on roads do not want prison ers who are sent up for a less time i than 90 days. And so in the future a man who toats a gun has the beauti ful prospect ever before him of a fine of ftfty one and the -o.-t or a term ofj 90 days. Evidently this new proceed-; ure should have some effect on the bad habit of carrying guns. Juror* for April Term of Surry Superior Court. First week: J. II. Bievins, K. L., Reeves, J. M. Jones, G.

Washington. April ♦.—The war re solution wis passed by the senate to night by a vote of Hii to 8. It goee to, the house, where debate will begin to morrow morning at 10 o'clock to con-' tinue until action is taken. Senator! who rant the negative vote* were: (ironna, North Dakota, LaFol-. lette, Wisconsin; Norris, Nebraska,; I.ane, Oregon; Stone, Missouri, and, Vardaman, Mississippi. Senator McCumber's substitute to. declare the exiatence of a state of war , upon the Kinking of another 4>»erican ship by Germany wa» defeated without; a roll call. State of War Formally Declared. The resolution, drafted after consul tation with the atate department and already accepted by the house commit-, tee, nays the state of war thrust upon thu United States by Germany, ia for mally declared, and direct* the Presi-' dent to employ the entire military and naval forces and the resources of the government to carry on war and bring it to a successful termination. Action in the senate came just after 11 o'clock at the close of a debate that had lasted continuously since 10 o'clock this morning. The climax was reached late in the afternoon when Senator { John Sharp Williams denounced a speech by Senator LaFollette us more worthy of Hcrr von Bethmann-Holl weg than of an American Senator. . The passage of the resolution was not market by any outburst from the galleries and on the floor the senators themselves were unusually grave and iiuiet. Many of them answered to their names in voices that quivered i with emotion. Great Crowd Awed by Occasion. The galleries were filled to over flowing, and on the floor bark of the senator's seats were almost hulf the j ■nemberslvip of thu house. In the i liplomatic gallery was Secretary Lan sing, Counsellor Polk, of the state de partment. Miniate- Cableron, of Boli-, ■ ia, and Minister Ekenguen, of Sweden. ijes-retary McAdoo was on the floor Jurlng the last few hours of the de bat#. As the last name was called and the •lerk announced the vote 82 to 6, there wa.i hardly a murmur of applause. The (freat crowd was awed by the solemnity of the occasion and sobered >y the speeches they had heard. Adjourns Until Friday. After the vote was announced the senate remained in session only a few ninutes. The galleries began to | ■mply at once and the senators them selves, tired out by the long day, left juiekly. The senate adjourned until loon Friday to await action of the! louse. All six of the senators who voted igainst the resolution were members >f the group ■«? 12 which defeated the timed neutrality bill at the last ses sion. There was no attempt to fili buster this time, however, and most of .he 13 hours of debate was consumed >y champions of the resolution. Of | he other six opponents of armed neu-j railty, Senators Cummins, Kenyon mil Kirby v.ited for the resolution to light. Senators O'Gorman, Clapp and IVorks, the remaining three, retired j o private life at the end of the last iession. Text of Resolution.
