Champion Rifle
Shot To Give
Exhibition Here
Adolph Topperwein. of San An
tonio, Texas, who is regarded by
many as the world's foremost rifle
shot and who is equally as good
with the shotgun and pistol, will
give an exhibition of his shooting
at the fair grounds here at
o'clock on the. afternoon of July
23,. Topperwein uses Winchester
guns and pistols In all of his
exhibitions and the local exhibition
is being sixmsored by the Person3
Hammond Hardware company.
Topperwein gave an exhibition
here about 15 years ag* and ac
cording to J. W. Hammond ‘‘his
marksmanship is practically perfect
and his bag of stunts is almost
unlimited." “We want everyone
to see his exhibition and honestly
believe that It will be both inter -
esting ar.d entertaining to all who
attend.” Mr. Hammond said.
The rifle expert draws cartoons
with his gun as well as throwing
opjects into the air and then
them with a single shot,
One of his best stunts is to place
two targets twenty yards apart,
one twenty yards in front of him
and the other twenty yards behind
him. After taking aim at the one
back of him by the aid of a mir
ror and sighting the one in frot
of him he shoots at both at the
same time hitting both targets
square in the middle.
Some of the records which Top
perwein has to his credit are:
The breaking of 4954 out of 5000
targets, one and ILiree quarter
inches only; the breaking of 4999
out of 10,000 of the 4 Vi Inch
targets; and the breaking of 85
out of 100 wood blocks, two and
one-half inche cubss which he
threw into the air himself and
then shot at from an automo
bile going thirty miles an hour.
There will be no admission
charge to the exhibition and indi
cations are that many will witness
the amazing accuracy o fthis super
gun man.

Bad Check Artist
Works Hoodoo On
Local Concern
Friday the 13th in the person
of a man giving his name as
G. T. Smith, hoodooed Fred Allen,
employee of the Real Tire
Service company, and literally
threw a concoction of black cats,
signs of thirteen, and other va
rious and sundry hoodoes and
jinxes into his path. Smith went
into the tire company's shop and
inquired about buying a tire. The
tire was sold to him and he gave
in payment a check for $25.
The tire costs $13.45 and so
Smith received $11.55 in change.
Leaving to go after his car to have
the tire put on. Smith returned
not to get the tire for which he
had presumably" paid. After he
failed to return for his tire, offi
cials of the tire company began
to investigate and found that the
check was no good.
The check was on the Atlanta
and lowery National Bank and
was signed by S. L. Slaughter, who
Smith claimed was a superintend
ent for Finley Construction com
pany. Investigation this morning
showed that the writing made
by the signing of Slaughter’s name
was Identical with that made
when Smith endorsed the check.
Smith _ ... attempted ,, , , to pull the I
■
. hoodoo . Alex Gossett, , of
on
the „ Gossett Oil company, , but , soon
decided that Mr. Gossett was not
superstitious when he sent after
the rim of Smith’s car to put the
tire on.
Local officers have sounded the
alarm for Smith but nothing has
been heard from him since he
departed from Griffin on the night
of Friday the 13th after spreading
“Friday the 13th ‘Joy • »i over the
city.

relleved of approximately M hot
ttes of home bre *’ * of
wine ’ and a qlulrt of wWakc y
