screens of green. These simple lines
would not be complete should my pen
omit the Methodist preachers home.
A home indeed, beyond the fret and
cares of the busy street; giving quiet
ude that is far beyond rubies, giving
comfort for the tired and beauty for
the eye. This home is also typical Of
the workers in the special field of the
Vineyard. 1t is spacious within and
without circling veranda is support

it with pride and pleasure; for this

Sargent Heirs
May Contest Will

COLUMBIA, Tenn, April 15.-
Especial. "A big legal contest is
probable here over the will of the late

Sargent left Maury county fifty

the liquor business and later made in

relatives in this county knew little of
what he was doing or the fact that he
had become wealthy until few years
ago, when he returned for visit after
an absence of nearly half century.
He was never married and at the time

CRACK SHOT
EXHIBITION
By Famous Rifle Expert, Capt.
George 7. Bartlett.
Wonderful Feats Showing Unerrins Pre-.
ciSiOn Of Aim We're Performed
But Brownsville nan Beats the -
Expert at Trap Shooting.

| A rare treat indeed was enjoys
by the large crowd of spectator
who gathered at the Brownsville
Gun Club grounds Saturday after
noon to witness the performance
of Captain George 7. Bartlett, tn
famous crack shot. It is not ex
aggerating to say that it was BY
far the finest thing of the kline
ever seen at Brownsville. TIL;
crowd was perhaps the larges
ever gathered at the grounds, Z
great many ladies being among
the number, and all were filed
with enthusiastic admiration by
Captain Bartlett's feats.
One after another, the famous
expert performed feats showing a
dexterity in handling the rifle and
precision of aim that have probably
rarely been excelled and seldom
equalled. With a 3O-calibre rifle
carrying a soft nosed bullet, he
drilled holes in a number of small
metal pieces about two inches
square made of quarter inch
steel, which were thrown up into
the air and caught by the bullets
without 4 single miss. A number
of small metal discs were also per
forated in the same way as they
sped through the air. Quart cans
flung into the air also fell to earth
literally riddIed with shot fired
from a shot gun.
One feat which seemed little
short of magic was a shot with the
rife at a quart can that was filed
with water, sealed and thrown into
the air, the result of the shot being
to convert the can into fragments,
and send the water into a fine
spray, both can and water almost
entirely disappearing from view In
mid-air. This shot was fired at
very close range.
Another very fine performance
included the shooting of brick-bats
placed on keg, at which the rife
man aimed over his shoulder. tax
ing aim backwards by means of
mirror, and also in a STOPPING pos
ture, holding the breech down
ward, and taking sight in the
mirror. The same feat of firing
backwards. sighting by means of a
mirror, was performed in various
postures, and each time the bullet
struck the brickbat without fail.
Each feat was admired and ap-
plauded to the full by the wonder
ing spectators, who felt that the
Captain was giving a show even
better than they had expected to
see.
NOT SO GOOD AT THE TRAP.
In the trap shooting which fol-
followed Captain Bartlett's ex-
1ibition, however, the expert did
not make quite so good a record |
The event included shooting by
-hree squads, in which the highest
score was made by our local cham |
sion, M. G. Delling, with a score
IF %. Next highest on the list |
stood Captain Bartlett and A. B.
Cole, another of the club experts,
Who had the honor of tying the
rack shot, each making a score of
2. The trap shooting was en-
Dyed with the usual zest by the
hub as we'll as by the spectators,
md the entire afternoon was mark
ID as one of unusual interest to
'ur gun club and its friends.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
VIENNA, Va, June g. 1907
Politicians of the democratic faith living
in the northern section of the eighth Vir-
ginia congressional district are frankly ad-
mitting that the fight for the nomination is
between Nicol and Carlin, with, the chances
in favor of the former. Carlin supporters
are making a very lard canvass to land
their man a winner. Some time ago it was
claimed the race was between Nicol and
Gordon, then Nicol and Ryan and finally
Nicol and Carln, thus proving, SO the Nicol
men say, that during the entire canvass
Nicol's name has always been coupled with
the probable winner. With the following
estimated vote in the different counties in
the mortimer part of the district it is hard
to see how Nicol will lose SO his fieuten-
ants says: Fairfax, sec; Prince William,
SEQ; Alexandria city. 800; Alexandria coun-
ty. 30; Loudoun, 4C0; Fauquier, 400. To-
tai, 2.SJ0.
1t will thus be seen the statisticians have
entirely eliminated CClpeper, where, it is
said, there is good Nicol following, and
the rest of the district, where it is eX-
peCted Nicol will receive at least 400 votes.
Carlin followers, on the other hand, say
with their man leaving Alexandria with
over ,OO0 votes it will he impossible to head
him off.
