THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1003.
Will Declare Social War
Upon Mrs.O.H.P.Belmont if
She Has “Open House M Again
Newport, R. I., Aug. 27.—The ultra-
hionable villa colony will formally
Sclare social war upon Mrs. O. H. P.
Siimont if ah® persists In her Intention
r~ hold another suffragette meeting
Imffli the grounds of Marlbehouse to
morrow. allowing the pleblans to enter
It will so long as they have the prlcq
*J ttn admission ticket. This Is the
mneral report here today. Neverthe-
f „ Mrs. Belmont Is going ahead with
her plans to have Governor Pothlcr
JUsIde. Professor Charles Zueblln Is
to make the principal address.
Ttierv have been rumblings of unrest
in the colony ever since Mrs. Belmont
Of Lad.v Alva, as she Is known, al
lowed the "hoi poliol" to overrun her
mansion and lawns with the vulgar
(jgloslty of the commons earlier In the
"gossip Is rife throughout the colony
of fashionables. At the Casino, upon
rerandas, In tea rooms and upon the
tennis court there Is much whispered
conversation, and it all centers upon
the queer actions of Mrs. Belmont and
her change of attitude toward her fel
low creatures.
Not to long ago she tiraded against
the curiosity of ordinary folk who used
to stand outside of Belcourt admiring
the splendid mansion and the fine big
estate. Mrs. Belmont even used to ob
ject to excursionists eyeing the house,
and used to' have the municipality of
Newport tfiange the course of roads
so that the house might be more se
eluded.
Hence, all the eyes of America's pre
mier society coterie are centered upon
her. She has received a number of let
ters asking her to abandon her suf
frage plans, but she has persisted
despite the covert warnings.
It begins to look as If It will result
In a. warfare which might be labeled
society versus suffrage.
GEORGIA RIFLE TEAM
SHOT AT WRONG TARGET
Somewhat disconsolate over their
(allure to make a better showing, but
determined to "do better next time,”
the rifle team representing Georgia In
the national shooting match' at Camp
Perry. Ohio, returned to Atlanta Thurs
day night.
The team ranked third In Class C, be-
Imf led by Texas and Alabama. One of
the reasons why they failed to make a
better showing was that they got
tangled up on one occasion with the
wrong target'and altho they shot It to
pieces the score did not count.
The failure of the team to win the
trophy In class C lost eaejt man a
splendid rifle. Prior to their depdrture
the members of the team petitioned Ad
jutant General Scott to be allowed to
keep the rifles which were bought es
pecially for the shoot.
The adjutant general Informed the
men that such action would be a prece
dent and he doubted the wisdom of It.
But as An extra Inducement he told
them that If they won the trophy In
class C they might keep the rifles.
General Scott' Is safe on hts proposi
tion. The trophy In class C did not
come to Georgia.
In spite of the fact that the team did
not make the showing that was thought
possible, the men did very fine Indi
vidual shooting and Major M. E. Laird,
who was In charge, feels that the team
worked under several unfavorable con
ditions and he Is confident that at the
next annual match Georgia will give a
good account of herself.
