SCORES AT MARION.
A Trophy Victory For Company A
Three Hundred Yard
Shooting.

Despite the hot weather of Saturday,
which made rifle practice more of a labor
than a pleasure, the practice was pursued
with vigor at the Fourth Regiment range at
Marion, and although the attendance was
much smaller than was anticipated there
were enough marksmen present to keep the
makers and scorers busy. The conditions
for fine shooting were excellent. The light
was fair and the wind was lot very strong.
The marksmen who visited the range with
the hope of seeing Companies H, c and b
make the final battle in the team contest
were disappointed as, neither team put in an
appearance. The high score of Company
AS team. made a few weeks ago, dis
%couraged the other teams and Captain Bum

hibiting the team trophy in it's arlnory until

CoNoCocHEAGUE CAMP.-The crowd
at this popular camp ground on Sun
day last reached nearly $4,000, and
so popular have the A. M. E. Zion
Church meetings become that an APP
plication for charter will be made
August % before Judge Stewart, by
Henry P Fletcher, solicitor, under
an act 6 ably, of an intended
corporation TO be called "The Union
Camp Meeting Association of Como
cocheague Island" the charter and
object being the support Of the wor-
ship of God.
The grounds held many newspaper
men from whose reports we clip the
following;
Rev. B. W. Kirk, of Martinsburg,
president of the camp, is quiet,
good common sense, observing man,
faithfully looking out for the min
utest interest of the camp and well
deserves his position. He is one of
the best preachers of the camp.
Rev. W. P. Fisher, of Luray, Va,
is a man of excellent qualities, and
thorough, practical preacher, quiet
and gentlemanly in his demeanor.
The G. V. R. r. knows how to
handle large crowds and our people
are charmed with the excellent work
of Sunday and the preceding days.

HON. S. B. ELKLN,S.

The Statesman is very much afraid
that this gentleman will be candi-
date for Congress in this district.
His imaginations are wild, weird,
and amusing, without word as to
why they do not pass the Wilson
Tariff Bill, when in their Chicago
platform they announced Free Trade.
No wonder they are afraid OF Mr..
Elkins, the iron ore and coal pro-
Queer, of the country, because they
know he is Protectionist. The
Statesman should wipe the little
tears out Of its little eyes and re-
member that Mr.. Elkins has already
been a member Of Congress and a
prominent member of the Cabinet Of
the United States, and is not likely
to retrace his tracks in the political
arena. No doubt, he feels that the
people would be with him in achiev-
ing a victory as a candidate for Con-
gress, but his field is broader, his
ability more comprehensive, and his
influence more extensive, than to
tempt him into a controversy for
Congressional honors in this district.
We do not speak by authority, but
oar opinion is, that Mr.. Elkins has
not the slightest idea of becoming a
candidate for the House of Repre-
sentatlves.

THANKS.

thanks for his kind commentator
50 kindly expressed and so generous
~ rendered for our nomination as
candidate for tie House of Dele
gates. We have no doubt we could
sweep things and win with large
majority from Berkeley county, but
just now, we are not looking for that
kind of job. We believe, that 9TH
ers can he found who will do that
work more effectively than we could
There is plenty of available timber,
and a very sure thing of election in
the coming campaign. There are
plenty OF young men who have not
only filled the position gracefully,
but with credit and honor, and we
look to them to come forward and
do the work. With many thanks, as
we have said to our friend of the
Herald, we regret to state that we
will have to decline the nomination
for that position.
