ANNUAL REPORT OF
CHIEF OF ARTILLERY
Recommends Increased Tar
get Practice.
ALLOWANCE NOT SUFFICIENT
Wisdom of Full Service Charges Shown
in Experimental Firing and Dis
appearing Gun Tests.
ALLOWANCE NOT SUFFICIENT

Gen. Wallace Randolph, chief OF artiI-
lery. in his annual report to the Sec
retary OF War, given out today, says
that the artillery organization has made
much progress during the past year. and
recommends that tarset practice take
place three times a year in different
quarters, the tire OF holding practice
not to be communicated to any post
commander until within twenty-four
hours before i. is to begin.
He says: '',t is believed that great
benefit will be derived therefrom, as
il will require post and district com
manders to be ready At all times for
action.
such progress in the equipment OF
the present system OF fire, control, and
direction. as was hoped for, has not been
made. the failure to 90 so being largely
due 20 Unforeseen and uncomfortable
conditions.
Two districts. Narragansett and New
London. have been completely equipped
and the installation at Fort Barrancas
is rapidly nearing completion. At the
latter place an entirely new system OF
position finding is being established. and
IL is thought that the results OF the ex-
periments may warrant its adoption for
low sites. II was devised By a board Of
officers convened at Fort wadsworth.
aid the methods outlined by them are
now being installed under an allotment
from the Board Of Ordnance and FORTH
cations.
Attention is again invited to the in
sufficient allowance for target practice
for sea coast companies. 1t is earnest
iy recommended that all practice be
with full service charges and sub-caIi-
Der and If is believed that the wisdom
o. this policy has been fully shown by
the experimental firing, both during the
recent maneuyers. and in the tests of
the disspp,s:ing gun carriages. So far
as known, no sub-caIibre practice has
been held during the current year"

BURGLARS AT CAMERON.
People Aroused by the Explosion
Of Dynamite.

Columbia, Nov. s.-Last night at
1920, at Cameron, on the Coast Line,
between Orangeburg and Sumter, the
store of Bull & Taylor was entered
by safe blowers and between $500 and
$1,000 vas secured. The robbers
used dynamite and the explosion
aroused some people in the vicinity.
With guns and pistols they went
to the rear of the store while the rob-
bers escaped from the front, having
had ample time to secure the contents
Of the safe. Several shots were fred
at them, but without effect.
The penitentiary bloodhounds were
sent there this morning, but failed
to accomplish anything in the way Of
tracing or locating the robbers. The
safe was said to have been large and
up-to-date, and was thought to be the
must secure one in that part Of the
State. Mr.. Rickenbacker had got
ten money from Orangeburg to buy
cotton and had deposited itln the safe.
His loss is $500. The postofice lost
500 and Bull s Taylor are not posi-
tive how much they lost, but with
the two sums the total was about
81, 900.

CHARLESTON ELECTION FRAUDS.
another Indictment For Fraud in
Primary in Charleston.

Charleston, Nov. THE second in
diesment for fraud in the primary cleo
ton Of last September was returned to-
day By the grand jury, when John
Ggren was indicted. He is alleged to
have persona6ed one NJ. Williams and
Eeted In his stead. There are several
other cases pending which were made
ont By Solicitor Hildebrand as test
cases and these cases will be consider
cd by the grand jury tomorrow. The
grand ilry recommended today that
Ehe solicitor endeavor to fIad the par
ties who paid or otherwise Influenced
Ogren and others to commit fraud.
This recommendation will be generally
approved Of, as the use of money in
elections IN Charleston during the
past few years has been very general
and Aagrssnt. It is not difficult mat
Ter to finsi unfortunate men who are
willing to barter their votes and the
feeling of the better class of citizens
rs that the politicians who manipulate
this vote are more serious offenders
than the voters themselves. It re-
mains TO be seen what success the
solicitor will have in his Investigation
and how much the politicians and
office holders viii cooperate with him
IN putting stop to fraudulent cleo
lions.

The Negro North and South.

A negro man while riding a bicycle
in the streets of New York the other
day ran over woman. She was knock
ed down and rendered unconscious.
A crowd of men and women who wit
messed the act attacked the negro and
he was violently beaten, being knock
ed down several times and kicked
while upon the ground. He was final
~ rescued by two policemen. The
negro's conduct was outrageous. He
seems to have made no effort to avoid
the accident. But why should he have
been attacked in this brutal manner
by crowd of white men and white
women. Persons of both sexes attack
ed him. We are told that women
shouted in glee or rage as they saw the
man being maltreated. - Why did not
his thing happen in some southern
state where the white man is supposed
to hold the negro in mortal enmity
and to be always scheming his destruc-
tion? What howl our northern
friends would have raised had it been
so and what a sweet morse to roll I'M
der their tongues would have been the
statement that southern white women
Shouted with glee as they saw the
man being maltreated.

0utrages in Porto Rico.

Madison, Wis, November 9.-Sena-
tor John G. Spooner has decided to
call President Roosevelt's attention to
the reports of political Irregularities
or outrages in the island of Porto
Rico, and probably will ask that an
official investigation be made. Sena-
tor Spooner left for Washington last
night, having been called there by the
President for a conference on the COM
ing message to Congress. The Senator
will bring the Porto Rican subject to
the attention of the President early
this week.
Col. George Bird, of this city,
father of Hobart S. Bird, publisher
and editor Of the San Juan News,
persuaded the Senator to take the mat
ter up with the President. He laid be-
fore the Senator evidence tending to
prove that certain prominent mem
bers of what is known as the Federal
party of the island, were being mali
ciously prosecuted and prosecuted for
their political activity.
1t is alleged that during the cam
paign that ended last Tuesday, a GER
tain element of the party that opposed
the Federalists, resorted to every
means of intimidation, and in some
cases even physical violence, to break
up their political meetings and sup
press their political activity.
1t is also alleged that threats were
freely made against the lives of the
Federalists, should they have the
temerity to go to the polls and at
ternpE fo vote
