THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. VOLUME 1, NO. 249. OUR BOYS AT THE BIG MACON SHOOT —t — BOTH COMPANIES . ACQUITTED THEMELVES ADMIRABLY TARGET RANGE. A Movement Is On Foot Looking to The Establishment of a Range In This City. The state rifle shoot at Macon, winch has just tiiiisheil a week of in struction in discipline ami rifle pruc tiice,'lias been pronounced by all who participated as having been the most successful military event Georgia has had in recent years. The uiark inauship of all who attended has been wonderfully improved, and from all ■ •cliuiis olthe state comes the re port of good results. The anjutaiit general's order an nouncing the shoot made it imperative that every coiujtanay or division of m iautry, artillery, can-airy, naval ma.ll tia and machine gun platoon, send up a team on the ranges. Their trans portation and meals were furnished by the state, and besides the state's t-ins were placed a theiir disposal and some of the best informed rifle men in the state were on hand to give the kind of instruction that was most needed. Some companies had more than one team, paying out of tlieir own pockets the additional expense incur red, anil now feel doubliy repaid tor having done so. Brunswick should feel justly proud or the behavior of her two teams at this event. The Brunswick Riflemen wiueh has represented this city at every military gatnerlng of import ance m the two last decades, going to points throughout the eounrry, ano earn time adding glory to a prouu recoerd, was represented. This com pany team, composed of Quartermas ter Newman and privates Uunkley, Pearson and Farmer, was as siigned to duty witih provisional company B, and the officers of this command remarked on their neatness and military training. They acqulttc*. themselves admirably on gourd duty as well as on the range. The boys who attracted more at tention than any others, however, were those who represented the First division ot the Naval militia. . They were the only soldier sailors in tne •-amp, and to many their uniforms presented a nawal sight. This team went up In charge ot Lieut. John C. Stiles and Ensign James YV. Bally. The others were Coxswains Ralston, ;a.nd Burroughs and Seamen o Conner, , West and Hopkins. This team was assigned to duty wiith provisiion ai company C under Captain Hunter, of Baton ton, of whom they speak In the highest terms. Lieu tenant Stiles andaltaclicd to head quarters as to range offh er and showed marked ability at this Im portant post. Ensign Bailey was as signed to duty as second lieutenaiit of provisional company It, made up of te-imslrom the norheast part, of the state. Most flattering words of coni mendation regarding his military con duet have come from those in author ity at the camp. Ensign Bailey was frequently in command of his compa ny; was officer of the guard and on one occasion took provisloinal com pany It on dress parade unaided by superior officers. On the rangs, these boys, consid ering their limited opportunities for practice prior to entering the camp, made remarkable scores, as follows: Preliminary practice, open to all— Ralston 19 Burrough 11 Hopkins 12 O’Connor 31 West 7 Total for company Up Class A. novice match, open rfnly to men that have never qualified: Bailey 28 Hopkins 43 Burroughs ..62 O Conner 66 Uau slop 60 Tolal for team 263 Sixty-two teams entered; Nav|al Reserves, No. 14; 310 men shooting; O’Connor No. 37; highest score made, 99; O’Connor G 5.

West .. 34 Hopkins 33 Burroughs 39 O’Connor 68 Ralston 22 Total 186 Twenty.nine tennis entered: Na’val Reserves finished No. 11; 146 men s’aootiing; O’ Connor No. 33; highest score made, 99; O'Connor, 6S. Brunswick has no examplle of what her military is doing when they go abroad. Under the recent administra tion both companies have visited out of town places and every time making deep impressions of their gentlemanly demeanor. An instance of this was given on the occasion of their visit to AHbany last spring when it was currently- re marked by the citizens of that placec that the two Brunswick contingents could not have been better behaved. The militia is essentially necessary at critical times, for the preservation of peace and good order. When it is needed, its -service.l are indispensi hie, and since its importance can not tie quesioned, it should he encouraged by substantial support. If the people of our city knew with what struggle and hard work the two organizations were up, they would doubtless pay more attention to this important branch of the Georgia state government than has I Un ease heretofore. For a long time the officers of the military in Brimswin-i, have been en deavoring to get a good rifle range cs tablelshed here lor tho benefit of their complaints. 11l nearly every ot ti er city where there is a military, com pany. they have a range. This in cludes Wr. "loss. Thonutsville, and Savanna,,, itor ir.-Tghhiring cities.. It is to be hoped that the effort of these officers will have ready co operation in promoting the the wel fare of our military. GEORGIA L.tOP REPORT. Outlook for thWLorn Crop is Now Very Poor. The week opened with a continua tion of the high temperature and dry weather which characterized the pre vious week. The day temperature exceeded 100 degrees at many points, and the parching sun was extremely unfavorable to the staple crops. Dur in the closing days of the week the temperature became dee.idedty lower and general showers occurred. This rainfall was copious over a large part of the state, and was of almost ines timable benefit to crops. Asa rule early corn on uplands was beyond recovery and the out look for this crop is generally poor. On the other hand, corn on low- lands is in excellent condition, having re ceived sufficient moisture without the damaging effects of overflow. Cotton made little growth during the drought, but no plants are healthy and well filled with blooms and boils. The erep in general is no in a good growing condition and has been well cultivated. Shedding, rust and blooming top are prevalent iri scattered locolUios, but complaints of this nature are not as numerous as usual, and lice have aumost complete ly disappeared. Seme corn spondents regard tho crop as the best known in several years. The melon season is practically end ed in the southern sections; in tho northern counties this crop has been rendered inferior by drought.. Lato peaches continue to rot and shed and the crop is below the average in finality, except in Macon and Houston counties, from which sections large shipments are being made. Garden truck suffered severely from weather; Irish potatoes are largely a failure; sugar cane is fair to good. Application for Discharge.
