Campaign Against “Gun Toting."

The Atlanta Constitution’s crusade against ""gun toting” in Georgia 'is bearing fruit. Judgq Brand, of the western Georgia judicial circuit, announces that "he proposes to send pistol carriers to the chain gang, without the option of a fine. This pleased the Constitution mightily, as it probably will all lovers of law and order in Georgia. Wfrtte Judge Brand was holding court at Hosmer, in Banks county, the Constitution says, a poll was taken “of opinion among those attending sessions regarding the striking out of the alternative of a fine. Practically every white, man, and the larger percentage of (he negroes testified their approbation and willingness to cooperate to the end that the law be given systematic enforcement. The retiring grand jury took the same stand.” —New York Tribune.
