FIELD DAY AT THE GUN CLUB ON YESTERDAY Some Splendid Scores Made By the Shootera Who Are Practicing For the Big State Shoot. (By a Gun Club Member). Wall! Well!! You should have seen those fellows preparing for the state shoot yesterday! The boys shot some and then some more. Guns were limber and nerves stroniy and the powder burned just to suit. The Au gusta Guu Club already has the champion of Georgia as one of its members, and If the compass doesn't quit pointing In the same old course there are some others of the club going to Illuminate things here when that state shoot comes off In June on the Augusta club grounds. "Die" Riley, the genial and hust ling secretary of the club, got his optics crossed for a minute and had a littie trouble getting them straight ened out, but when he did get the swing again he wbb there with the goods. John Pierce, our farmer, had dust In his eyes at the first of the shoot, but when the dust cleared he struck his old pace and take It from me, when John gets In that old pace there THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.

"I)ady" Quick had a little pain somewhere below his shoulders and was not In his usual form and so dropped some birds that looked mighty pretty, but "Dady" doesn't shoot like a man with grey hair ever. Brother I.yle was shooting a new gun and so of course his shot stuck together and caused him to miss gome easy floaters. B S. Dunbar, who has burned more powder than any living man around Augusta, knew exactly where to swing that old Winchester and there was only a little wad of dust left to show where the flying imp had been. Occasionally the target dodg ed through a hole in his shot, but seldom. “Billy" Twiggs was simply mad at the "blue rocks" for hardly at all, did he allow one to escape destruc tion. He hit them like a pill-driver. It was left to Jim Chaffee and Par son Derrick to. take the honors of the day will/ only two dropped birds each. Chaffee missed one oT his and the other was caused by worm-eaten powder. Theie were other good shooters present, but this article will grow too long If we try to mention all.

Many of them cost from S2OO to SI,OOO. Stop for a moment and ask yourself what have you done when you have succeeded In placing the poor man behind the bars. Would it not have been much better to have taken that same crimi nal when a boy and given him good moral training? Hundreds of the hardened criminals of today • would have been rescued when young. Will you not think this vital problem out for yourself and assist In the great work of saving our boyd and girls?

CURTAILMENT OF WIFI FOODSTUFF Cut Off Quantity of Provisions That Were to Be Purchased For Warships. New York —Orders received at the New York Navy Yard curtailing the amount of provisions that were to be purchased for the war ships in Mex ican waters is taken as evidence by officers at the yard and others tnat the navy department is hopeful of a -ireful settlement of the Mexican situation. The Washingtonian, a chartered freight steamer was to have left the yard early'next week with a general cargo of provisions, among which was to be 1,200.000 pounds of re frigerated beef.. This item has been cut to 500,000 pounds and the same general reduction has been made in all other provisions. The action of the war department in cutting down the amount of sup plies strengthens the belief that the dreadnoughts and other big warships with possible exception of a few are to be withdrawn from Mexican waters while tne actual work of patrolling the coast will be left to the light draughts vessels.
