tHE RANGE
Government May Purchase
Fine Rifle Range at
Macon
Macon, Jan. 16.—Macon’s rifle range
may be bought by the government for
the use of tlie regular army.
The rango now In tho possession of
the Macon Rifle Association is prob
ably the most suitable site In Georgia
ranking well with the other ranges
scattered throughout the United States
In his report to President Roosevelt
during the latter part of last year
the si cretary of war remarked about
the scarcity or rilie ranges in this
country, especially where the new rifle
o the Springfield make was in use.
As the secretary recommended that
congress make an appropriation lor
the purchase and equipping of suitable
ranges, it is thought the faciiitf.es of
the Macon range will bo brought to
the attention of tho proper officials.
1 hough there are many sitc-s in Geor
gia which afford shooting of 500 yards
and even COO that of Macon is prole
ably the only one whore the Spring
field rifle can be used with perfect
safety.
The old range of the Macon Rifle As
sociation had to lie abandoned with
the introduction of the Krag rifles
anew sito he.ng bccured near the old
waterworks. Though many improve
ments will have to be made boforo it
con be used, It will afford one of the
hot ranges in the country when it Is
