sHARPsHooTERs' SEASON ENDED.
Time with which They May Qualify
Over Sept. 80.

The season during which military men
may qualify as marksmen and Snapshot
ers Is over. 1t closed Sept 30, and any as
pIrants for those honors viii now have to
wait until next summer before they will be
given a chance to try for them.
This year the season ran later than US
uaI A month was added TO II on account
of there being so few military men at their
homes during the summer This was rec
ognized by the acting adjutant general as
q good reason for the extension.
There have not been very many who
have qualified this season The usual in
terest was not taken. Many of those VINO
keep rifle practice alive in Savannah have
been away in the army all the summer, and
this has kept down the number who have
been out on the range.

have passed through his Office not cent
has ever gone astray. Like Capt Dillon,
Mr.. Russell has several times had hard
fights for his office, but has never been
unsuccessful in securing a majority.
Clerk of the Superior Court j. X. =. Carr
was appointed to that office in November,
1887, TO fiji the vacancy caused by the
death of Col. Bee Prior to that he had
been assistant clerk. His many years of
experience, combined with his natural
ability, have made him court clerk with
few equals and no superiors in the state.
He has practically had no opposition at
any time since his first commission was
issued He was born in Screven county.
The Colts" among the county officers
are the other two candidates, Coroner John
A. Goette and Surveyor 70. J. Thomas
Coroner Goette is now completing his
fourth year In that Office having been
elected first In October, 1894. He has in
creased his popularity all during his Of
fetal life. Ready at all times to con-
scientlously perform his duties, he has at
the same time been found willing to ex-
tend every reasonable accommodation to
the public. He is a native Savannahlan,
and has no interests out of the city of his
birth.
County Surveyor Thomas was elected
without opposition for the first time two
years ago, succeeding Mr. Tebeau. He Is
civil engineer and thoroughly qualified
for the duties attached to the Office for
which he Is again a candidate.
IL Is rather an unique fact that of the
eleven local candidates, all but two are
native Georgans. Mr.. McDonough was
born at Augusta, Mr.. LaRoche at Savan-
nah and Mr. Mcmillan came here from
North Carolina
