In seems to us that there is need
for more drastic remedies than have
been applied. ' If necessary, a peni
tentiary sentence lor carrying a re
volver without a written permit and
a jail sentence for the official issuing
such permit without good reason
might meet the case. If really seri
ous loss and actual degradation and
disgrace attended thg)(jconsant car
rying of hidden' weapons we might
stop a habit which disgraces and in
jures this part of the country, ' holds
us up before the world as communi
ties of dangerous murderers and ev
ery year leave scores of widows and
orphans, anguished, destitute and
desolate. Richmond News-Leader,
Pay The Debts.
At this season of the year business
men like, to get their accounts set
tled and it .is nothing more than
right that every man who owes a bill
should pay it. ;.. j
If for some reason it is impossible
to do so, let him go and ' " SCO . the
man, Tell him about it, but don't
try and avoid your creditors.
Every merchant and business man
has accounts on his books and it is
necessary for these to be collected in
order that they may meet their own
bills and start the New Year right.
If every man who Owes an account
and can possibly do so, would pay up
things would unloose to a great ex
tent and business -conditions would
be more satisfactory.
In justice to ourselves , and' right
for our friends, let's all try and pay
our open accounts wherever they
may be just and this as quickly as is
possible.--Wilmington Star. 1
