Hard Times and the State Public
School.

The State Public School received
233 children during the year from
July /, 1895, to July l, 1896. This
was an increase of 30 per cent. over
the preceding year. The rate of in
crease in dependent and neglected
children must be attributed to the
hard times compelling fathers and
mothers to part with their children.
During July, 35 children were sent
to this institution. This continued
increase in the number of children
who become wards of the state must
make thoughtful people consider
well the blessings of home, family
and kind friends.
y To you, who have plenty and
enough to spare, it would seem as if
conscience would make you ask to
aid these little ones Qargely boys)
by taking them to your homes. 1t
Is not necessary to adopt them, but
to shield them, protect them, edu-
cate them, in short, giving to them
some of the blessings of real fami.
ly, with the love and home that no
institution can secure. Will you
take one on trial and see if he does
not make your hoRe happier9
If some one could help u bright
colored boy from 2 to 10 years O

pacial aid by those engaged in find
ing homes for these children. Any

DON'T SHOOT.
The Partridge Season Does Not
Open Until October L.

Through an unintentional error
last week we misquoted the open
ing date of the partridge season.
1t was stated that the season opens
September |, while it should have
read October /. The game and
fish laws of the state are very
strict and explicit, and should be
carefully read and followed to
avoid trouble. The section regard
ing the partridge season, on page
49, of the state game and fish laws,
is as follows:
mo person or persons shall kill, capture or
destroy, or attempt to kill, capture or destroy,
any ruffed grouse, sometimes called partridge,
or pheasant, except from the first day OF
November to the fifteenth day of December,
inclusive, in each year, or any colin or quail,
sometimes called Virginia partridge, save
fifteenth day of December. Inclusive. In each
year: PROVIDED. That in the upper penin-
snla, partridge, or rutfed grouse, may be
killed from the first day OF October to the
first day Of January, inclusive, in each year"
A man in Houghton county last
week was mistaken regarding the
opening of the partridge season,
and shot one of the birds, for which
he was arrested and fined $50 and
costs.

NEWS FROM SEA GIRT RANGES
LOSS OF THE HILTON TROPHY
MADE UP FOR BY OTHER
VICTORIES.

The Guards JubIIant over the Win
ming of the RegimentaI Match by
the Battalion Team-SatisfactIOn
That the Washington Men Won
the TrOphy-The Shooting of the
Savannahians Compared with
other Teams.
Interest in the Sea Grit contests was at
its hight yesterday during the progress
of the Hilton trophy match, which the
Savannah team was counted on to win.
There was much disappointment when
the news was received that the match
had been lost. AS soon as it had been
decided, Capt. Williamson telegraphed
Col. Garrard as follows:
Col. William Garrard: Guards won the
regimental match by 80 points and ja-
vannah team tied Washington for the Hill
ton trophy, but lost by less score at
the 6OO-yard range. w. w. Williamson.
The Associated Press reports show how
close the shooting was and under what
disadvantages, and whey the score was so
far below that OF last year, when the
match was won on 1907 points. The Sa-
vannah team under ordinary conditions
was expected to better the winning score
of 1895 by at least to 10 points. The loss
of the trophy, however. was partially COM
pensated for by the winning of the Reg
mental interstate match by the Savan-
nah Volunteer Guards team.
The fact that the Savannahians tied the
score of the Washington team
for the Hilton trophy and
lost only by the better shooting of the
Washington men at the 6OO-yard range,
shows what sharp competition there was
between the two teams, and how evenly
they are matched. There was general
satisfaction among the military men here
that the trophy, if not won by Savannah,
should go to Washington, on account of
the friendly relations established between
the two teams during the May contests
at Avondale.
The excellent shooting by the Savannah
men is shown by the scores in all the
matches in which they have shot The
following are some of the scores showing
their records compared with those Of
other teams:
In the company team match, ten shots
each, 200 and 500 yards, the Hussars score
was:

TO SEIZE ALABAMA SLINGS.
THE POLICE CONFIsCATING ALL
THEY CAN LAY HANDS on.

A Raid Made on Liberty Street and
Twelve Sings Taken From Eleven
Boys-A BicycIist Shot In the Neck
and Complained to the Police.
Against the Law to Garry Them,
and the Boys Had Better Keep
Them out of sight.
The boys of Savannah are suffering
from an epidemic of the slingshot dis
ease. Nearly every boy in the city is pos
sessed OF a slingshot or Alabama sling,
the latter being considered the polite
name for the weapon. Weapon it is, for,
while 1t is not deadly. it can be used
as a means OF offense in a very serious
manner
A boy who is at all expert with this
little rubber contrivance can kill bird
at thirty to forty, and even fifty feet. The
pigeons are the favorite marks for the
boys with slings, and scores have been
killed recently. One boy was arrested yes
terday for using a sling on the street, and
several more had narrow escapes.
There were two complaints at the bar
racks last night on account Of the sling
shot. A negro reported about o'clock
A4lell iv was ilulHB along lylDeTtY street
on his bicycle when, at the corner of
Lincoln street, he was hit in the neck by
a shot from a sling The Shot stung him,
but did not break the skin. He felt sat
isfied that the missile was from a sling
shot and located the corner from whence
II came.
Chief McDermott at once sent out Detec-
tive Godbold and Policemen Bostck and
Bradley with instructions to search every
boy they met and conhscate all the sings
found on them, and if the young mis-
creants who shot the colored man
could be found, to arrest them.
The officers returned half an
hour afterwards with their pockets
full Of sings. Between the barracks and
the corner of Liberty and Lincoln streets
they met and searched an even dozen of
boys. There was only one of the boys who
did not have a sling, but the next boy
searched had two. The officers were in
structed to destroy the sings.
A merchant on the east side of town re-
ported that a crowd of boys had been firing
into his place with sings and had broken
the glass in his windows. Chief McDer-
mott instructed the sergeant on duty to
give special instructions to the police de-
tail going out this morning to keep a spe-
cial lookout for boys with sings and to
arrest them when found. The nuisance he
said, has gone far enough, and it is time n
put a stop to it.

On account of the crowded condition of

sustaining a reputation 1t has acquired

pummeed. On the strength of the evil
dence Of his bruises. Joseph D., Jr., swore
out warrants for the crowd Of women
that beat him. and they were tried and
dismissed in the city court on the charge
Of assault and battery.
From the evidence the fact developed
that Small was really more to blame than
the defendants, so they thought they had
a case, and in turn swore out warrants
against him for assault and battery.
Small had their good fortune, though, and
was found not guilty.
These proceedings served to render the
Smalls unpopular with the population of
Woodsville and the family has been made
the butt of considerable ill-treatment.
Last Monday night Joseph D., Sr.'s, wife
was assailed on her way home, and re-
celved a stab from Elizabeth Small. who
though of the same name, belongs to a
different family. Elizabeth was one of
mob that set upon Smalls wife. She was
arrested by an officer from Justice G. f.

for stabbing, sworn out by Joseph d.

against Della Smith, Edmund Marshall,

suburban and West Ends Paving
Suggestion TO the City.
The city council met yesterday after
noon for the purpose of hearing the petit
ton of the Suburban and West End rail-
way in regard to the paving of the Louis
willie road.
In the ordinance recently adopted for
paving the road 1t is provided. as usual
in such cases, that the street railroad run
ming along the street shall pave between
its tracks and for a distance of two feet
on each side of 1t.
The petition of the Suburban and West
End railroad states that its track runs
along one side of the Louisville road, on
the south side, and that under the plan
OF the city engineer parts of IL win oe
required to be paved The petition states
that not only will this be a hardship to
the petitioners, but that the road will be
injured by including the railway track
in such narrow roadway and that a
much better road can be constructed by
paving entirely to the north of the ratl-
way track.
The petition was referred to the conf
mittee of the whole.
