FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1919
We had an interesting call from
of. Edgar Turner of the Sardis
school last week. He told us of the
eat need of more room in the school
out there and how with only seats
or fifty children, one hundred were in
attendance. :
efifiwinly the interest in this com
‘munity deserves recognition. No
' child in Cobb county should be re
quired to get his lessons on a log in
' the woods, in this day and time, not
withstanding the fact that many of
our greatest men did just this.
! Prof. Turner told us of a rally
| they were going to have at the school
- on Friday, August 15th, and invited
us to attend it and see his school.
. Nothing will give us more pleasure.

THIS SORT OF SHOOTING
STOPPPED THE GERMANS
Caldwell, N. J., August 12.—A re
cord of 45 consecutive ‘bull’s-eyes”
at 600 years, without telescopic
sights, was made heré today by Cor
poral Clarence P. Kennedy, of the
marine corps rifle range detachment,
Quantico, Va., in the members’ match
of the National Rifle Association.
Although a perfect score consisted of
only 10 “bull’s-eyes,” Kennedy con
tinued shooting until he made a
“four” on the 46th shot. He aver
aged three shots a minute, a speed
record for the match. .
Continued bad shooting weather
and a rain squall, which blew up dur
ing the second relay, caused 200 con
testants to drop out. Ten of the 400
remaining entrants made perfect
scores, and nearly all continued shoot
ing in the hope of passing the high
mark made by Kennedy, but the near
est approach was 21 consecutives,
scored by J. W. Hession, of the New
York Atheltic Club team, who won
second place. P

} The Turks will learn a lot of things
ithey never knew before if they get
mandated up with America. Take
sports, for example. When we took
over the Cubans they took up base
ball with a vengeance, and soon knew
more about the game than they do in
St. Louis. Then we caught Aguinaldo
and took the Philippines under our
capacious wing, and the Philippinos
went in for tennis. They did not
love us, but they loved a love game
upon the courts; indeed they could
[soon court with the best of them.
It was the same way with the Ha
waiians. Queen Lil stood in the way
of the aspirations of the Hawaiians
for a full expression of their caba
retic gifts. She passed from power,
and soon, attired in a bale of hay the
limbic Hawaiian maidens could enter
tain tired diners as well as the Jazz
Sisters, from New Orleans.
It remains to be seen what Ameri
can pastime the Turks take up, and
the purpose of this brief article is
to make some suggestions that may
guide them in their selection.
Baseball, of course, is out of the
question, since the Cubans have pre
empted that; likewise tennis, which
nets the Philippines so much pleas
ure. Golf might seem to offer at
‘tractions, but the Turkish language
is wholly unsuited to this recreation.
It is weak in cuss words. You can’t
slice a shot into the prickly pear
shrubbery and get anywhere by say
ing “By Allah!” Which is the only
way the people in the Turkish stories
ever swear. They overlook that
word, it is true, a good up-to-date
story having the people swearing by
Allah twice in every paragraph, but
a thousand “By Allahs!” would not
compensate for a dub into the water
hole, whereas, we ourselves know a
thousand American expletives, any
one of which sets a man right when
his mashie technique goes awry.
There are things to be said for
football. They would make calking
backs, half-backs and quarter-backs.
I suppose, in fact, they are the most
backward nation in the world, unless
it be the Irish, ‘who fight back and
forth all the time. Also the casualty
list that piles up during a game would
remind them of the good old days
lwhen they used to mess up the Ar
menians. But a difficulty arises; with
a language like that you never could
work out a set of signals that the
opposing team wouldn’t have in five
minutes—and the one condition of a
set of signals is that no one shall un
derstand, not even a teams’ own play
ers. :
Five hundred should prove a fas
cinating game. Solomon was strong
for one thousand—but then, Solo
mon was king, and kings were wild
in those days. Yes, we think five
hundred should appeal to the modern
Turk; it does to the average Ameri
cans, many of whom are content even
with sixty-six.
! Draughts are not recommended,
since the Turks are used to a warm
{climate, and should avoid exposing
‘themselves to anything that might
bring on the flu. Parchesi is a nice
'game but if you are going to play
a dice game you might as well learn
' to shoot craps, and you can’t shoot
craps any more on account of the
coppers running off with your swag.
And it will be worse than ever now;
before July first a policeman wouldn’t
\raid more than a dozen crap games
'a day. He didn’t have to; he had a
|regular stipend coming from Hogan
on the corner across from the drug
store, and Rafferty on the next cor
ner; both of them set their clocks
' back an hour every night. But that
source of revenue is gone now, and
| it’s an easy-going cop that can’t cam
|ouflage his way onto a crap-game
every half hour, picking up an odd:
! dollar in that way.
| Then there is bridge—but why an
ticipate; one- shouldn’t cross his
bridge before he comes to it. And
speaking of crossing bridges, there
is lacrosse—but that is a Canadian
game, and the Turks are our prote
ges; if our mandates are to be stuffed
we will do the job ourselves. It is
the same with dominoes; dominoes
might suit the Turks very well, only
it is the national game of Texas, just
as pinocle is the national sport of
Hoboken.
Really, the field is rather restrict
ed, and there is not much left in the
way of a typical American sport ex
cept the good old game of taking the
bull by the horns—first, however,
shooting him.—Cartoons Magazine.

MANY ENDANGERED BY
TANK BLAST IN SELMA
Selma, Ala., Aug. 12—A number
of persons narrpwly escaped serious
injury this moerning when a vulvani
zer at the Hooper Motor Company
blew up, scattering debris over the
shop, and causing a terrific blast. The
damage is estimated at about $1,200.
Persons fifty feet from the explosion
were struck by flying debris, and
slightly injured, while persons in the
vulcanizing department were unhurt,
A gasoline tank of an automobile six
ty feet away was torn to pieces by
a flying piece of hot sheet iron the
size of a dinner plate.
It is considered remarkable that
no one was seriously hurt, while parts
of the machine weighing as much as
400 pounds were being blasted about
that part of the shop.
The explosion caused considerable
excitement and was felt a block
away.

To The Trade:
&
—ln these days of unsettled market conditions and un
certainties a set price cannot, be made for any length of
time on groceries.
—_The market at the present is practically on a stand
still awaiting government investigation. We do not
know, or even the mills and packers, who put up the
goods, what change there will be. Groceries may come
down and they are just as liable to take an upward
trend.
__The strike conditions grow less serious each day and
we have every reason to believe that there will be an
ample supply of foodstuffs on hand until freight conges
tion is cleared. -
-—We therefore ask all of our customers to buy their gro
ceries as if in normal times and do not try to put in a
long time supply, as that will deprive others from buy
ing their necessities.
—We hope in the next few weeks to make some specials
in our grocery line, as we feel sure that the price on gro
ceries will rebound back to normal again in a few days.
—We can save you much on your grocery wants and
will appreciate your patronage.
