REGISTER YOUR GUN.
! 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.
