REMARKABLE SHOOTING STUNTS
Done at the Darlington Gun Club Grounds
by Mr.. AdoIph Topperwine and II.
c. hirschy With Shot Gun
and Rifle.

Those who attended the shoot
at the gun club grounds were
amply repaid In witnessing some
of the most remarkable marks
manship ever seen in Darlington.
The ground was muddy and cold
and a hard wind was blowing
directly in the face of the shoot
ers, but excellent scores were
made nevertheless. Mr.. II. @.
Hirschy, the winner of the Grand
American Handicap of 1908, did
some fine work, although he did
not make perfect score. The
local entries also made good
scores.
The next event was the rifle
shooting of Mr.. Adolph Topper
wine, of Texas, and this event
alone was worth going long
distance to see. Mr.. Topperwine
began by throwing small pieces
of brick into the air which he
would break as they fell, at times
varying the shooting by breaking
one of the small pieces of the
original piece with a second shot.
He threw potatoes, apples and
oranges into the air and literally
powdered them by using soft
nosed bullets. A card was held
up by Mr.. Cassety and a hole was
shot through the center. The
card was then held with the edge
toward the marksman and he
marked it with a bullet on the
side through the hole formerly
shot through the card. Marbles
were pitched into the air and
shot into a fine powder before
they reached the ground. These
are only a small part of the many
stunts done by the expert. Mr..
Topperwine and Mr.. Hirschy
both are representing the Win
chester Repeating Arms Co.
The following score was made
by the club:

UNITED MINE WORKERS IN
STATE CONVENTION ASSEMBLED
Condemned General Assembly and Jim
Wood Wired Governor Beckham

The defeat of the bills for ad-
ditional mine inspectors before
the Kentucky General Assembly
brought down the anathemas of
the union miners convention, at
Louisville, upon the law makers.
The Friday morning session
was an indignation meeting. AT
ter some hot speeches the follow
ing is part of a resolution that
was offered and adopted:
"Be it Resolved by the Delegates
of the Seventh Annual Convention
United Nine Workers, District %,
That no member of the House of
Representatives who voted against
the miners bill offered by Repre-
sentative j. Il. Pride, of Union coun-
ty, be countenanced by any laboring
man in the State of Kentucky. Be
itfurther
Resolved, That we appreciate
and pledge our support to all those
who supported the bill, irrespective
of party affiliation. Be it further
"Resolved, That the United Mine
Workers, District %, denounce in
most emphatic terms the action of
the representatives of Jefferson
county, who were elected by the: Ia
boring people, and who should be in
terested in the welfare of the labor
ers of the State, but who voted as a
unit against our bill. We further
say that the mine-workers Will re-
member with no feeling of friendli-
ness the action of the representatives
of the metropolis of the State"
j. ID. Wood, the man who
handles the money of District %,
sent the following telegram to
Gov. Beckham:
miners in convention condemn in
strong terms those who voted against
mine inspector. Action should be re-
considered"
After matchmaking the Gen.
eral Assembly aid reading the
roit act to the Governor the con-
vention proceeded to work on the
small farmers of the coal produc-
ing counties of Kentucky by put
ting an exclusive high tariff up.
on their initiation into the min
er's union.
This movement was led by ].
ID. Wood, secretary-treasurer,
who advocated that the initia-
tion fee for farmers be placed at
$50. The rate was fixed at $25.
The Louisville Post says:
Most of the morning session was
devoted to a consideration of recon-
mendations made by the Constitu-
tional COMMITTEES. One of the NEST
important of these urged the adop-
ton of q $25 initiation fee for nom
practical miners, instead of $40 as at
present. An amendment fixing the
rate at $50 was rejected, and the $25
rate adopted.
Secretary Wood and others favor
ed the high rate, charging that prac-
tical miners were being displaced
more and more by farmers, who

Monthly Per Capita Tax Remains.

to reduce the monthly per capita
tax from 90 to 10 cents, and

which has been levied during the
past year to pay off the districts

STRIKES DON'T PAY
Terrence V. Powderly Says En-.
pIoyers and Employees Who
Stand Close Together
HAVE NO NEED OF SUCH TROUBLE.
EXTRACTS from copyrighted
article by Frank G.. Carpenter

don't believe in strikes for the
laboring man."
These were the words of Ter
ence V. Powderly as we chatted
together in his house facing the
Soldiers Home park this after
noon. They are significant words
because they come from the
mouth of a labor leader, a man
who has worked with his hands
and who has gone through every
graduation of labor, organized and
unorganized. Mr.. Powderly was
the son Of a workingman. At
thirteen he earned his daily
bread; at fifteen he was switch
tender; at seventeen he was an
apprentice in the Delaware and
Hudson car shops; at twenty
one a machinist, and for years
thereafter. he worked at his trade.
A man of ability and an orator,
he soon became a leader of his
fellows, and after a time was
made general master workman
of the knights of Labor and as
such the head of the organized
labor of the United States. He
held that position for fourteen
years.
After leaving the leadership of
the Knights of Labor Mr.. Pow
derby studied law in Pennsyl-
vania and was admitted to the
bar there, and also to practice
before the Supreme Court here
at Washington. He was, during
President McKinley's Admin
istration, the Commissioner Gen.
eral OF immigration, but he has
now gone back to his practice,
although he has by no means
dropped his interest in labor and
labor questions.
Strikes Don't Pay.
"No, l don't believe in
strikes" said he. "Ihave never
believed In them, and have done
all l could to keep my men out
of them. They don't pay. They
are not necessary, and they bring
great suffering. Nine.tenths of
the trouble between employers
ard employees are based on mis-
understandings and precipitate
action. The employers and en-
ployes should come closer togeth-
er and each should try to know
and understand the other. They
should not wait for trouble, but
should affiliate in the interest of
industrial peace"
How the Men Should Help Employers.
"What do you mean by that?"
| asked.
81 mean that when the bust
ness is going on right and the
men are satisfied the employer
should show an interest in them.
l mean that the men at such
time should go to their employer
and say: We are doing well; we
like our job and we are satisfied
with our wages. Now, we want
to know if there is any way IN
which we can help your business.
1t is to our interest to have you
make money, and anything that
we can do to make the business
pay better we will do it. Such
an action would bring the two
together, and the average en-
ployer, if his success was greater
through such action, would be
glad to reward it by higher
wages"
"Then the interest of the en-
ployer is the interest of the
MANI" / asked.
eyes, it is" replied Mr.. Pow
derby. "The men are dependent
for their work on the success of
the capitalist, and he is depend
ent on Them"

A New Year Wedding. c. Knowles Promoted

OF the many New Year resolutions
made, perhaps none were so promptly
acted on as that made by Miss Charlie
r. Harper and Mr.. Thos. j. LaBarge.
AT 9 p. m. yesterday it was the
pleasure of Rev. Mr.. Willis, pastor of
the Methodist church, to pronounce
the words that made their resolution
life time obligation.
Directly after the quiet but beauti-
full wedding, the bride and groom were
given reception at home by few of
the old family friends.
Both of the young people are en-
ployes of the /. & G.. n. railroad. The
bride holding a position as steno-
grapher in the Freight claim Depart
ment under MIR. Pusch, and the groom
as revising clerk in Mr.. Hutchinson's
department.
As they are great favorites in their
respective departments, all of their
workers wish them a happy and
prosperous journey through life.
