THE STATE SHOOT.

The state shoot is over. Savannah
was visited by a fine lot of soldier
boys. They are a credit to the state
and to the service.
Savannahians are glad visiting
teams showed up as winners in the
company novice match, While. as a
rule, the most expert Savannah marks
men were not upon the local teams,
there was yet mettle in them that rem
ders the victories of the visitors who
showed in the first places we'll worth
the winning.
The Macon Volunteers team won the
company novice match. with the team
from the Burke Light Infantry,
Waynesboro, second. The other matches
we're won by local teams. That proves
that men in the service throughout the
state generally are as well qualified to
become capital marksmen as are Sa-
vannahians. This city has the most
expert rifemen in the South. This is
| because there has been rife range
and practice here for years. In other
places in the state the advantages of
a range have not been enjoyed, Re-
duced to the class of novices, however,
men from Savannah and men from
elsewhere are upon an equality, and
the result has shown that there is no
innate superiority in the Savannahians,
All have the same chance to become
experts, so far as natural adaptability
is concerned. The element of practice
is the important one. Given satisfae-
tory ranges, the proper spirit and a
few years OF practice and other places
in Georgia viii rival Savannah with
| their marksmen.
Though, as we say. Savannahians
| welcome the victory Of the visitors,
they do not fail to appreciate the hon
ors won by their own teams. 1t would
not be the part of a true host to wish
to win all the prizes. OF the achieve
ments Of the Guards, the companies Of
the First Infantry and the Hussars our
people are proud. Too many successes

The trouble had it's inception when
Maxine Elliott, the actress, gave her

Smith lent the dog to Mrs. Lottie
Wheeler OF No. 1853 West Forty-fifth
street. The trouble came to it's third
degree when five little PomeranianS
came into the world.
You remember we agreed half of
'em would be mine," said Mrs. Smith.
Mrs Wheeler said she hadn't the teeni-
est recollection of such a compact. So,
Mrs. Smith had Mrs. Wheeler summon

Mrs. Wheeler, when the magistrate
stated his two-into -five-you- can't prop

she'd given the third puppy to a friend

dog to be carved into equal portions,

DEATH OF LORD SALISBURY.

Although Lord Salisbury had retired
from public life he had not been for
gotten by the English people. He had
played too prominent a part in Great
Britain's affairs to be forgotten so
soon.
He will not be mourned as Gladstone
was because he was not so close to
the hearts of the people, and, besides,
he was not so great a man, but his
public services extended through a
long period and were of great value
to his country. In the various offices
he filled, particularly that of Prime
Minister, he displayed conspicuous
ability. His party had confidence in
his leadership and the people regarded
him as thoroughly honest man.
His death will not of course be felt
as deeply as IL he had died in har-
ness, as 1t were. but 1t win neverthe-
less cause sorrow throughout the Brit
ish empire, not only because Of his
public services. but also because he
was a man of high character and
sterling worth.

AMBITIOUS NEW oRLENAs.

Having wrested from New York the
right to make the market in cotton
futures New Orleans now seems de-
termined to make the market for grain
futures. It is a fact that the growth
of the grain shipments through New
Orleans has been very great within the
last year or two. AS a matter of fact
for the year ending. June 30 last more
wheat was shipped through New Or
leans than through any other port, the
next largest amount being shipped
through New York. Baltimore, how
ever, leads all the ports in the ship
ments of corn. For the foregoing year
the amount of wheat and corn shipped
through New Orleans was. 32267 ,27S
bushels; through New York. 81, l5O, OSS;
through Baltimore. 23,62l,079 and
through Galveston, 20655,24S
1t will be seen from these figures
that the exports of grain by way of
Galveston are also growing with great
rapidity, but there is no probability
that they win ever equal those OF
New Orleans.
There seems 10 be a question in the
minds Of grain men whether the move

So Much Greek.

During these days of postofflce in
vestigation, says the Washington Post,
story is told of a postmaster down
in Virginia. A young man from New
York went to one of the little places
in the old state to visit a relative, and
having occasion to write, secured a
postal card.
You had better not write anything
private on that card" remarked his
sister. THE old cobbler who is post
master here reads every card"
But the young man was writing to a
Chum, and they had been studying
shorthand together, so he put his mes
sage in pot hooks, curves, and dashes,
and mailed it. He had not got far
from the office when the old cobbler
rushed after him shouting:
Here, you! Here, you! I can't read
what you've written on this card!"

rihemen as those from Macon and
Waynesboro.
Hard upon the state shoot will follow
the interstate shoot. This offers prom
Use of brilliant success. 1t would seem
safe to predict that the one thing that
marred the state shoot will be pleas
ingly absent next week, when marks
men from several Southern states and
from the army and navy will strive
for honors. All the rules of weather
and chance forbid such another vista
ton of daily rains as interfered with
the state shoot.
In the interstate matches will be en-
tered the best men of the Savannah
commands. Against them will be pit
ted the best shots from the commands
that send representations. Some pref
ty contests may be expected. Scores
equally as high as those made at Sea
Girt in the country's leading competi-
tons would not be surprising. Let
conditions of wind and light be good
and it is even likely that record scores
will be made.
We commend the officers and men
who have contributed to the success
of the state shoot and who win work
for that of the interstate shoot. Col.
George t. Cam and those who assist
ed him in the state shoot are entitled
to the gratitude of Savannahians and
Georgians generally. Even more will
Capt. w. G.. Austin and Maj. w. f.
