The Need of liegislation to Prevent p~istol Practive Perom Fl''os Notions ol'bilnhooti ani lavery-Astronig Arraignment from the Blench. t Ili opining the eourt, of geveral s ions for lMie, Uandi Ceunty, the oc ct-ion was signalized by Judge Bonet in a charge to the grand jury w hich calli the attention of too public very forcibly to the crying evil of carrying concealed weapons, a practice that is largely responsible for the terrible re- i cord of homicides in thi, State. Judge lienet said there certainly is need for t-omue logislation 104W i og1 to the reduc tion in the number of homicides that t aninully occur In South Carolina, the , year 18911 showing a total of 242, w bich is an average authia'er. The followine ii the chief portion of Judge lienet'h remarks : " What is the cause, geitlemen. of this extraordinary numhr of lioti citles ? I amr su(r ael one of you can assign certainly as one cause the deplorable custom of carryin! pistolts, a custom carried to such an extent that our State may he regarded an armored caip in times of peace. Oar young men and boy4, back and white, rich and voor, seem to think that their outilL is not coipleto wiituout a pistol some of our older men show a bad example, and I regret to say soin1e p)ublic ollicials have on occasions been found armed in violation of the iaw. I'istols are carried not as a protection at night in some lonely road or in some remote part of the country during the day or in some dangerous neighbor hood, but at public micetings, on the streets, at, social gatrierings, even at dances, even at daily labor, and follow ing the plough, and I add also even at cnurch and prayermth etiny ; and Its for th ise gatherings known ao the ragroes' hot suppers, is there ever a hot supper i without a cold corpse' The negro will imitate the wa ite man and initate him more successfu3lly in his vice and his crimes than In his virtues. " Mr. Poreiuan and ttlcmnt , it would be an intert bng t. xperitnent if the court were at tls moment to order the sheriff and his bailifls to search the pocket-, of hli in this court house now and see how many pisto.s will be found, earriied on the person; concealed even in the Ltemuple of justice. Gentlemen, as surely as this lament able habit continues- so surely will two or three hundred of our feliow citizens annually il untimely graves, the vic timls of the pistol habit. It is a fear ful prieu to pay for the privilege of carrying aris. It is not only utnliaw ful to carry arms conc.oed upon the person, but, it is unehritian, uncivi liz-3d and still more shou d the anuoal be made to the. youth of the couii try who casecy pistols that it is unmanly and cowardly, and altoguther unneces sary In a civilized conmunity. It causes our young men, no doubt, to hold human life very cheap, and it a causes them also to have false ideas of bravery and true manliness, and it has lofused in the pubii mninl wrong and vicious views of the rigit, of self-de- - fenuse. if "Gentlemen of the grar.d jury, how many corpses of mn slato by the I).- j tol-carrying homicide havo been j searched in vain for the pistol, and yet the slayers have lut, )U p1 their plea of self-defense, and juries have aequitted them on that piua, ecase forsooth i the defendant, the man-oiayer. te-talid that when he shot his victim had pot, nis hand to his htip pocket 0., was about to place it there, and he wis in duced to believe by that act that, h' h ,d a pistol and was about to draw it, ie presumed, in other words, that he was in danger- and acted, as he elaihned, in self-defense. If i-hut presuminption is to be iregar-ded by petit jurorsd unst, we not cretito anotlher- presumtption ini fact to meet It --that the man who carries a pistol habitually must he presumred to have murder in his heart and is a dlangerotus man to the peace of any commtunity. When a llood-gu ilty mlan Is set free lby the vetrdiet of a jury, then the piublic, through the piresa, condemns the jary, speaks of mis carriage of justiec-, that, tile jur-y system Is a failure and the like, not, rt lecti ng. that the jur-y is only cairying* intoU effect theo putblic's own mistaken view . andi Idea of self-defense. Wate- does c not rise above its level. A petit jur-y is part of the people, and It, is not, wiser- or better than the peole fro,, whom it, is dlrawn b~y lot. It, is futtile to lay the blame at thbe door- of the jury or the system of trial by jury. ~ Let it lie also at the door of all who are guilty oif carrying pistols concealed u pon their persotns. I would not be little the right, of self-de fense. It, le a good tight ; it is a dud-given right, a~s we~il as a righlt r-ecogn ized( by the law of our lante but, it is woefulty misuni dierstood and most rashly atnd reckless ly exercisedi, tintil the b)00od of huni d reds of men ciies aloud ft-om hu n dreds of graves fot the vengeance courts have denied thben;.

And here n tho year 19O I am saf in saying hat thc maijority of the youth of our ountry carry arms.
