BIRMINGHAM MEN ATTEND

Bessemer, October 4.-(Special. )-The Bessemer Gun club did itself proud today, when it pulled off the most sue cessful shoot in the history of the club. The grounds were crowded all day with visiting mark smen and heir friends. Every imaginable convenience Tor the guests and the members had been provided. Several tents were erected to be used in case of rain, and the slogan of the day spelled out "a general good time, and more of it." The visiting marksmen arrived 9arly. and everything was in readiness to com menee by o'clock this morning. Some very fine scores were made.
 The best score for the professionals was made by F. R. Holt. representing the Western Cartridge company.
 The best amateur score was a tie between Robert H.. Baugh of Birming- ham and B. H. Lutrell of this city.
 MT. Lutrell also won the bronze shield donated by the Dupont Powder club members.
 There were quite a number of visi- tors present, among them the follow ing professionals: MT. Hamilton and MT. Perry of the Dupont Powder com pany, Colonel Anthonay of the Union Metallic Cartridge company, E. R. Holt and E. A. Holt of the Western Cart ridge company. and Walter Huff of the Dupont Powder company.
 These gentlemen are all well known in the city, where they make trips each month. and they never fail to give the club boost. There were a great many amateurs present from Bir- mingham. and several of them gave 1t as their opinion that it was one of the finest and best conducted shoots they had ever attended. Among those pres ent from Birmingham were Robert II. Baugh MT. Henderson, MT. Brown, MT. Friedman. MT. Stinson Mir. Fletch- CT. Mir. Neil, Mir Tice, Mir. Abbott, MT. Bowie, MT. Warren and others.
 The barbecue was spread at 1:3O and everything good to eat imaginable had been provided. H. F. Bumby of the local club acted as barbecue chief. and after much deliberation he was voted "a winner" in this particular line. He had made arrangements to accommo- date a large crowd, and he admitted himself, after the shoot was over, that he felt at first that he would never be able to make good. However, he kept on buying stuff and the result was that the barbecue was a decided success.
 Too much credit cannot be accorded Reid Fulton. chairman of the arrange ment committee. When 1t is taken into account that there were flftyf five mark smen to participate, 1t will be readily seen that the job of preparing for shoot where there were fourteen thousand shells used was no easy mat ter.
 Everything worked very smoothly. and the day was a grand send of for the club

 3 And while away seeing and hearing new things under the sun he waxed fat and strong
 |. Now in the absence of the king there arose grievous differences in his prlvy council.
 ,. There arose some loyal to the king and wished to do his bidding.
 5. But, sayeth one Richard, surnamed country and his place on the throne shall be occupied by one John, of the House of Parker, who shall rule the city.
 :. Now there was marveling among the people, but many members of the privy council agreed with hchard. and John was brought forth, ascended the throne, issued an edict and resigned.
 s. Then cried the loyal subjects of King George: This new man at the seat of WnOSe Judgment we now Slt IS an uSurpef and those who think like unto him are also usurpers.
 3 And we shall pray diligently for the return of the real king, that he may oust the pretender and his cohorts.
 b. And the king in the far-off country knew nothing of the things that were happening In his own realm. He was lowing before kings of the other lands.
 II. But 1t came to pass that messenger came to the king while in a far-off land and warned him to return to his people and his throne
 12. And the king took a great ship, the bow of which was turned toward the setting sun.

 A pleasant surprise party was given this evening to a little lady by about 30 of her friend. Games were enjoyed, after which a refreshment committee, consisting of Joseph Burgin, Eugene Mckinny, Jule Blair and John Leopard. went down to a Dago stand and purchased refreshments. The refreshment part of the programme was, indeed, the most surprising part of the whole evening, and the little lady admitted after the evening was over that she had never been so well entertained in her life. The refreshmcnt committee seemed to have been up against 1t from a financial standpoint, as Joseph Burgin, chairman of the committee. stated that he was compelled to borrow money on his next weeks salary in order to settle the claim that the Dago had against the committee. The following goods were delivered by the committee after they had gone out and spent couple of hours trying to dig up the necessary funds witn which to make good: Bananas, apples, oranges. peanuts, lemons ana che"ins gum. Joe Burgin was finally handed the largest lemon in the bunch. as he was asked to leave about Il o'clock.

 thing In Place.
BIG SHOWS COME TODAY

Friday was busy day at the Alabama
 State Fair grounds, and a hundred or
 more men were kept busy all day, storing the exhibits for the fair, which opens Tuesday. More carloads of agricultural displays arrived, and the unloading and arrangement of products went steadily on from daylight until late hour, and to- night there will be no let up in the work until 12 o'clock
 vast amount of work has been done, and the expectation is that little will
 be left unfinished by Monday. Hard
 work that day will bring the fair ex-
 hibits up to the finishing point, and Tues
 day morning will find the greatest col lection of Alabama exhibits ever gotten together in the state properly arranged for display. While the management ex-
 pected big showing, it was hardly pre-
 pared for the great number of exhibits
 which showed up Friday, but extra help
 prevented exhibitors from being swamped.
 Sunday there will arrive in town spe-
 cial train of eight cars from the north,
 containing most of the big attractions for the Curve. The Igorrote village, Nun
 dys animal show and Creation will be
 among the number. Advance agents of
 these attractions have already hit town,
 and are making arrangements for their
 shows. Their space on the Curve has been allotted in advarice, and there is not the
 slightest confusion in this line.
 The free attractions will begin to roll in tonight, when Romola, the balloon man, will reach town, and Ford, with his ostrich farm will arrive. Captain | Baldwin with his famous airship is ex- pected to get here Sunday from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and the other entertainers will reach Birmingham Sunday night or Monday morning.
 That the crowds are headed this way there is no longer any doubt The ad- vance guard has already arrived and a
 sprinking of fair visitors was noticed on the streets as early as Friday Today
 more are booked to arrive, and Sunday
 and Monday will see the numbers swell
 ing rapidly. They will find everything
 in the pink of condition Tuesday morn ing, when the biggest and best fair ever
 held in the south will open it's doors.
