IN TEAM
COL. CAM MADE TWO SUBSTITU-
TIONS ON SEA GIRT TEAM.
STEPHEN HARRIS WILL GO.
CAPT. WILSON WILL TAKE SER
GEANT WRIGHT's PLACE.

Harris VIII Take the Place of Lieut..
TunnO, Who Will BE Unable to At
tend-Capt. Wilson Is Command
ing officer of Governors Horse
Guard in which Wright Is Ser
Eeant - Members of Team Were
Thankful for Clearing Skies Yes
terday Preparations Perfected
for the Departure of the Team To-
morrow.
When the clouds gathered and the
rain began to pour in torrents yester-
day it spread a damper on the hopes of
the Georgia team, which will go to Sea
Girt tomorrow to contest in the ma
tionaI trophy matches. With but two
days for practice they feared that a
deprivation of that opportunity meant
that the team would have to go to Sea
Grit thoroughly unprepared; and they,
more than all other, were glad to see
the clearing skies.
The team INDUCED in an excellent
practice at the 1G00-yard range, as a
result of which they feel better pre-
pared to guard the reputation of Geor-
gia in the big meet. Nearly all of the
local members of the team were out,
as was also Sergt. F. w. Tyler of
Waynesboro who arrived yesterday to
participate in the practice. The con-
ditions were very bad for shooting, a
changing wind keeping the big red
flags in a varying flutter all the after
noon, but nevertheless some good scores
were made.
AS suggested in the Morning News,
Lieut.. Tunno will be unable to attend
the competition. In his place Col. Cam
has named Private Stephen N. Harris
of the Guards, who was suggested by
Lieut.. Tunno. Harris has made sorle
excellent scores, and his choice on the
team is gratifying, though not sur
prising, to his friends. Capt w. T.
Wilson of Atlanta has also been sub
stituted in the place of Sergt. Arminius
Wright, who will be unable to go.
While it is regretted that the gentle
men first chosen cannot go, it is not
thought that the change will operate
any appreciable injury to the team,
since the substitutes are both excel
lent shots and would have been chosen
among the first but for the limited
number.
Information has been received to the
effect that the ammunition for the
shoot viii be made especially for the
government. Forty thousand rounds
have been ordered. The Savannah
marksmen have been using the gov
eminent ammunition for some time, so
that the selection of this particular
kind is agreeable to them.
Preparations have been perfected for
the departure of the team. Fourteen
reservations have been made on the
City of Memphis, which sails at
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon. There
are an unusually large number Of Sa-
vannahians on the passenger list and
the members of the team anticipate
a pleasant trim.

LIEUT.. WO0G EXTENDS
THANKS OF MARINES
For the Kindness and Excellent
Treatment Accorded Than

For the Kindness and Excellent
Treatment Accorded Them.
Since the return of the troops from
the interstate shoot to their respective
homes a number of letters have been
received, in which the officers rendered
their thanks for the many favors and
uniform kindness which they received
while in attendance on the shoot. The
appreciation of the Naval Marines
from Port Royal and the excellent eff
feet which the shoot had upon them
is recounted in letter received from
Lieut.. Woog yesterday. In writing to
Maj. Coney, he says:
81 am writing to thank you, and
through you, the officers of the Inter-
state Military Rife Association for
your kindness to me and to the men on
my team, While we were at the inter
state shoot at Avondale. We shall al
ways look back to our trip with a
great deal of pleasure, and feel, while
we did not have the pleasure of car
rying off a few trophies. that the eX-
perience on your most excellent range
was of great benefit to us.

will he kind enough to express my es-

Col. Guessaz Explains why Texas
Was Unable to Attend shoot.
For some time it was thought that
Texas would send team to the recent
interstate shoot, and the failure of the
team to put in an appearance was the
matter of much regret to the officers
and men. Lieut.. Col. o. c. Guessaz in
spector general of rifle practice in that
state, in a letter to Post Adjutant
Coney, sets forth the reasons why he
was unable to bring his team to the
shoot. The letter reads, in part;
Your batch of circulars anent your
proposed rife contest has been referred
to me by Gen. Openheimer. 1t would
afford me great pleasure to once more
meet you gentlemen and incidentally
cross blades with you in the noble
game, but we have no team in the Lone
Star state, and Notwithstanding that
Texas is very rich in money and re-
sources, and that it's soldierly probably
needs as much target practice as any
other force in the nation. /all my eff
forts to establish a state rahge wherein
team could be perfected to that point
which would justify 1t in going away
from home to compete, have failed We
have had just a taste OF target practice
at Camp Mabry at a little 100-yards
range which l established three years
ago, but we are at present unable to
accept your kind invitation to be with
you. 1 sincerely hope that we may sue
coed in getting a range, and in such an
event, 1 ann sure that we have material
enough to develop a good team in
time"

Line purchased the controlling
interest in Louisville and Nashville
from ] p. Morgan & Co. A few
months before this firm had taken an
option ON the controlling interest in the
company from John w. Gates and Ed
win Hawley, who had purchased a ma
jority of the capital stock of Louisville
and Nashville in the open market. The
200 shares of Louisville and Nash
vile representing the controlling inter-
est was sold to the Atlantic Coast Line
1t was estimated that the syndicate
formed by j p. Morgan, to acquire an
option on the 306, 900 shares of Louisville
stock from Gates and Hawley and sell
them to the Atlantic. Coast Line, made
a profit of $6000,000 on. the transaction
For these 100000 shares the Atlantic

900 in Atlantic Coast Line stock. TAX
ing the bonds at par and the stock at

curities and cash was equivalent to
more than $170 a share for the Louis
vile stock.
AS a result of the high price paid by
the Atlantic Coast Line for the con-
trolling interest In Louisville and Nash
vile, a New York dispatch says the
company has had to face a deficit on
the investment. the dividends received
on the Louisville stock not being sufIi-
Gent to meet the interest and dividends

1t is understood that this was one of
the conditions which influenced the At
lantic Coast Line to add to it's hold
ings of Louisville and Nashville. By
purchasing additional stock around par,
the company has greatly reduced the
average cost of it's holdings of Louis
vile, and the investment is now prac-
tically self-sustaining. @
