Other Georgia towns are responding to
the call, and subscriptions are pouring
into the stricken city.
Besides cash contributions, clothing
and provisions are being sent, as many
families are left destitute by the storm.
Governor Terrell has appealed to the

100 ARE DEAD FROM
GAINESVILLE STORM
Cyclone Wrought Death and
Destruction.

Gainesville, Ca, June 2.-The tor.
nado which bore down on this city
yesterday probably has no parallel in
the history of the State for the num-
Der of people killed and destruction
OF property.
The fury of the whirling cloud was
fortunately confined to the outskirts
OF the city, else the loss OF life and
property would have been appalling.
Out OF almost a clear sky the twist
Ing terror swooped down upon the
city and those unfortunates who were
in its wake had no opportunity to seek
places of safety. Many of the bodies
Of the victims were mangled almost
beyond recognition.
Today the list of dead is placed at
100. an dthose injured at 40, while the
property loss Is something like $780,
900.
The storm also struck New Holland
near Gainesville, at which place more
than 20 people were killed.

Its Alliance with Military.
The association has for more than
twenty-five years been closely allied
with the military, and has now about
reached the high water mark of excel
lence. Among it's members are all Of
the best shots in Savannah, and If is
doubtful if there is another organi-
cation anywhere which has as many
sharpshooters in its ranks proportion
ate to the membership.
When the association was first or
ganized the Georgia Hussars conpris-
ed large proportion of it's member
ship and most OF the best shots were
members of that command. At the
present time the Guards lead in the
numbe OF expert shots, and furnish
the largest proportionate. number of
expert shots in the association. There
are now twenty-five members OF The
Guards, eleven members of the Hus-
sars and five members of the First
Regiment of Infantry in the assoc;aN
tion. 1t is remarkable fact that one
OF the best shots in the organizatio,
Is CAPT. j. c. White. who is NOW, 81
years of age, having been a men,he.

said about the range.
Col. Gordon read a letter from NAL
Walter Z. Coney, post adjutant OF the
Interstate Military Rifle Association,
setting forth the advantages Of hav-
ing the shoot at Avondale range, ana
also read a circular descriptive of the
range. He also urged upon the board
the importance of a liberal allowance
to the military for ammunition for tar
get practice, and requested that the
matter of government aid for the
Avondale range be also considered.
Several of the officers asked ques-
tions, and after Col. Gordon retired
the motion was passed Incorporating
his remarks in the minutes of the
board, accepting the literature about
Savannah and the Avondale range, and
filing for future reference the appli-
cation of Avondale range to be award
ed the contest for 1905. This applica-
ton is the first to be received and filed
for the 1905 contest.
Maj. Guilfoile of the Twelfth Caval-
ry, who is a member of the National
Trophy Board, and also of the Com
mittee on Small Arms Fire Regula-
tions, stated that full particulars con-
corning the Avondale range, including
photographs, maps, ETC.. were on file

The Chatham Artillery will be in
spected by Maj. French, United STATES
inspector of Georgia State Troops, UNI
der the provisions of the Dick bin, to-
night. The inspection will begin at
$3.50 o'clock, and it is expected that a
large representation of the old COM
mand will be on hand to face the in
| spector.
Maj. French, accompanied by Capt.
A. Gordon Cassels. and one or two
other officers of the First Cavalry, will
go to-day to Hinesville, where the in
spection of the Liberty county caval-
ry will take place. The inspection will
be at the armory of the Liberty In
| dependent Troop near Hinesville. Be-
| sides Capt. Cassels' command, the Lib
erty Guards will also be inspected.
1t is expected that the trip will be a
very enjoyable one. Besides the -eg-
ular inspection a parade will be held,
and everything done for the entertain
ment of the visitors. After the in
| spection a meeting of the commands
will be held at which the Dick bill will
be discussed. The men desire enlight-
eminent relative to the construction of
| certain portions of the bill before de-
Gliding whether to enlist under its con-
ditions or not. Capt. Cassels faVors
the measure. and is of the belief that
his men will nearly all enlist under it's
provisions.
Broke EnIistment Record.
The enlistment record was broken in
the inspection of the Georgia Hussars
last night, the largest number of men
yet to confront the inspecting officer
by any command appearing in uniform.
Fifty-two men, besides the members of
field and staff, were in line, and the in
spection was in every way highly graf
flying to the officers of the troop. The
enlisted strength of the command is
| sixty-five men.
Maj. French did not arrive to conduct
| the inspection until after 10 O'Clock.
The men, who stood in line for an hour
and a half awaiting his coming, were
put in his appearance. His delay was
| occasioned by the lateness of the ar
| rival of his train from Springfield
where he had been inspecting the IF
| fingham Hussars, the lateness of the
train being, in turn, occasioned by a
wreck on the road.
1t was after 2 o'clock this morning
when the inspection was finished. Maj
French, in company with Capt w. w
Gordon, Jr.. and First Sergeant Dem
ere and Quartermaster Sergeant Robert
Remler, spent several hours in taking
an inventory of all of the property OF
the troop. The command is in need Of
a great deal of equipment. Capt Cor

to MAI. French's comment on the an
Client appearance of some of the para
phernalia. that the troop was organized

The inspection consisted in an eX-
animation of the uniforms, arms and

1t looks as II the movement of the
Savannah military to obtain the ma
tional rifle contest for 1905 may be
fruitful. Col. Gordon, who presented
the claims of the city before the ma
tional trophy board. was given a most
respectful and attentive hearing. So
much impressed were the members
that it was resolved to have his adj
dress inscribed upon the minutes of
the board, together with the informa-
ton relative to the range and to Sa-
vannah which he furnished them.
1t was officially announced in the
Interstate National Guard Convention
by a member of the national trophy
board that the policy of the board
would be to hold the shoot alternately
in the different great divisions of the
country, North, East, South and West.
Through the courtesy of Gen. Riggs
of Maryland, who is a personal friend
of Col Gordon, the latter was invited
to present to them the claims of the
Avondale range for the shoot in 1905
