Several appeals have been pub j lished to induce the owners of pistols to comply with the new Georgia law by registering with the Ordinary, but up to date com parative few have complied. Those who own weapons are not obliged to register, as the owner ship is not a violation of the law. Neither is it a violation to use a pistol on your own premises, but whenever a man leaves his own ' premises with a pistol in his pos session, carried either openly or concealed, he becomes a violator of the law according to the inter pretation that has been placed upon it by some of the Superior Court judges of the state. In order to register the owner must also give bond, which is merely a matter of form, and it is left to the discretion of the Ordinary whether he shall accept such a bond. A few of our white citi zens have registered in order to; be on the safe side of the law, but not a single colored person has registered up to date.—Lau rens County Herald. Entrants in Corn Contest.
