a LONG RIFLE RANGE.

a Negotiation for a Grounds Kast OF
the City.
The Savannah Rife Association Is nego-
tiating with the county commissioners for
the purchase of tract of 107 acres of land
about four miles from the city, on the Sa-
vannah and Isle OF Hope railroad.
The association wants to establish an inn
proved long distance rife range, with all
modern equipments. IL is willing 20 pur-
chase the land from the county at a reason
able price, and IL it succeeds in secur-
ing the site will spend several thousand
dollars in improving it, The total cost
of drst-class ride range with distances
ranging from 200 TO 1000 yards with cleo
trio indicators, protecting embellishments
and all improvements, including club
house. is estimated at $4,000. This amount
the association is willing TO expend.
1t is thought by some that the county
should donate the site desired for a long
distance rifle range, as the chief benefit will
be TO the military who are now DESTROYS of
securing such a range to improve
their target practice. AS the rifle as
ISOLATION desires TO control the grounds,
however, it is willing to pay reasonable
price for them.
As the grounds would be available for
target practice TO all the military Of the
city and as the majority of the members of
the rifle association are military men, any
way, the chief benefit from the establish
ment Of suoh a range will accrue TO the
military. For this reason IL Is to be ex-
pected that the effort TO establish a long
distance rife range will be successful.

mon stock new common stock Is to be given
in the proportion of two of new for one of old
stock. The Terminal company has now a
majority OF the stock by the ownership of
1900 shares. Under the proposed scheme
this majority would be changed to a mi
nority of $500 out of 100000 shares, aud
would have in addition 100000 shares of
preferred stock interposed between it and a
dividend. 1t is proposed to accomplish the
reorganization by means OF foreclosure In a
friendly suit. Among those who are inter-
ested In this plan are several of the de-

Sheriff Blcis Will Not Appoint a Dep
uty if There lie No Need for It.
Sheriff elect Blois of the city court has
been besieged by applicants for the deputy
ship since the morning after his election,
two weeks ago, aud even before that candi-
dates were anxious to effect some sort of
combination that would insure their ap-
pointment. Mr.. Blois was asked yesterday
when he will appoint his deputy.
81 do not expect to enter upon my duties
as sheriff until the February term of the
court" he said. land until then l cannot
judge Of the necessities of the Office. The
present force, consisting of the sheriff aud
two bailiffs appointed by the court, seems
to be quite equal TO the work, hence
may not find it necessary to employ any
other help. 1 am informed that there is no
such Office as deputy sheriff of the city
court, and no compensation is provided for
1t, therefore the place, If filed, is of my own
creation and is maintained at my expense
Ii is, If anything, q clerical position, and
must be flied by man capable OF that
work. l do not say that will not appoint
a deputy. shall not hesitate to make the
appointment If l find it necessary, but l
will not do it if there is no need for 1t. The
duties of the Office have been performed
practically by three men for long time"
Mr.. Blois says he intends to run his office
on business principles and not as political
preferment.

about in recent campaign. The per-
manency OF our institutions demand that
this growing and crying evil should be abol-
ished. and il Is your duty to take cognizance
of the matter. Prosecution Of these offeud-
ers may fail, but nevertheless the fact that
those desiring 20 engage in it will know that
prosecution awaits them will have deter
ing and beneficial effect. For the sake of
the community and the protection OF candi-

court has been faithfully and admirably
administered by the retiring official for
many years. so much so as TO draw forth
compliments from grand jury after grand

efficient officer, ever ready to discharge
his duties pleasantly. and be merits tho
