a candidate. places that county in a
very fair position to play with all the
candidates and land with the winner
which seems to be the position that
county wants to occupy.
Belmont county will be for Hon. c.
L. weems, and starting in with sixty
one votes makes him a very formidable
candidate before the convention. The
thirteen votes from Monroe and ten
from Carroll would land him a winner.
while the other counties stand by their
respective candidates. But it is proba-
BILE that General Holllngsworth, OF
Harrison, and Hon. j. ]. GIL, of Jeffer-
son, will figure some on help from the
smaller counties, while a county like
Carroll, with It's twenty-five votes d.
vided, will be looking for place to
land, and the delegates will all want TO
land with the winner. There will be
hustlIng from now on.

viii Bear Watching.
Charleston Gazette

The report comes from Morgan
town that the board of regents have
abolished the office of vice president
OF the University, in order to cut out
of the position Prof. X. A. Arm
strong. The president of the Uni
yersity has a grievance against Prof.
Armstrong because it is charged
that he gave certain definite infor-
nation about the salaries at the Tn
iyersity, to the legislature, which
found it's way into print. We think
we are in position to exonorate
Prot. Armstrong from all blame in
the matter, but If the report gets
current that he is responsible for the
information, nothing can prevent
his nomination and election to the
office of the State Superintendent Of
Schools. One thing is very certain
no man whose duty it was to give
correct information to the legislature
could be induced to do it. They
even failed when called on to make
= report showing the financial situa-
ton up there. And it has come to
light since the legislature adj burned
that after all, they managed to
smuggle through padded appropria-
tions in order to get money that the
legislature refused to allow for Ger
tain purposes. If there is one man
connected with the'inside workings of
the University who will frankly give
the true and reliable estimate Of the
money absolutely necessary for the
different purposes, he should be pro
noted instead of being turned out of
office. The next legislature wants to
turn a searchlight on the University
if it remains under its present man
agement.

HOW A BULLET TRAVELS.
Lessons the Soldier Is Taught In
Learning How to Shoot.


The soldier is taught that the bullet
travels through the air in curved line
called the trajectory, and that three
forces act upon it-frst, the exploded
charge, tending to drive it forward in
straight line along the line of fire;
second the force of gravity, and, third,
the air resistance. At 200 yards owing
to these forces, the bullet, travelling at
the rate of 1000 feet a second, will
have fallen about two feet. In the ex-
element of firing at close quarters the
aim will invariably be too high.
1t has been calculated that when the
enemy approaches within 800 yards the
soldiers win instinctively fire as much
as two feet or three feet above their
heads. Now, it has been found by ex-
pertinent that the fact of fixing bay
onets will cause the bullet to drop a
distance of about az feet in $50 yards,
and therefore when about this distance
from the enemy soldiers are instructed
to fix bayonets, in order to counterfeit
the excessive elevation of their aim
The recruit learns that the mean ex-
treme range of the bullet is 3, 500 yards.
and that the longest shot ever observed
was 3, 100 yards. He is taught the pene
trating power of his weapon, subject
full of interest To take one or two ex-
amples rammed earth gives less pro-
lection than loose bullets easily find
their way through joints of walls while
a concentrated fire of about $50 rounds
at 900 yards will breach a nine inch
brick wall
Only experience can teach soldier
how much he must aim to the right or
left of his mark to counterfeit the force
of the wind. A side wind has more
effect on the fight of the bullet than a
wind blowing directly toward the firer
The soldier must learn the habits of his
rifle, since some shoot higher or lower
than others. Every rifle, like every
marksman, has its own individuality. -

 1 do not want it understood that l am too previous or that l want to dictate to the off cials what should be done but, as | understand 1t, the people in the East part of town are like myself, have either saw better days or else hope to see better days. And people never get So pool but what the ladies and school children are enti- tied to have respect shown them in the way of sidewalks at least, and for ought that any of us know their streets in the next world may be paved with gold. And as I expect to soon cast my lot with you for better or worse you will please excuse these few suggestions 1 am yonrs for the good of Springdale.
