CONTRACT IS LET ID
 EQUIP RIFLE RANGE
Concrete Pits and Improve
 ments Cost $2500
IS LOCATED NEAR BOYLES
National Guard Plans To Erect Club House On Range at Some Later Date. Arrangements For
 Target Practice.

The contract for fitting up the rife range at Boyles for the use of the Ala bama National Guard has been let by Maj. Lucien Brown, who was detailed to this by Governor Conner. John Max well was awarded the contract, which calls for completion by March 1. 1909.
 In round numbers the money to be spent on the range at this time will amount to s2500 while 1t is intended to expend S2O00 or 5000 more on it during the next year or two. The national government is foot ing the bills for the construction of the range.
 The range will be located near the Du- Pont Powder company's place at Boyles, and the shooting end will be only a quarter of a mile from the end of the Boyles electric line, thus making it very convenient for the Birmingham troops. It consists of a strip 100 yards wide and 1856 yards long, and lease is held on it for five years.
 The contract calls for the erection of concrete pits for the accommodation of 10 targets, a concrete house for the storing of ammunition and several other smaller structures. The contractor will also have q large number Of trees to cut down and some slight grading It is also the intention to erect clubhouse on the range at some later date.
 Five Mile creek runs across the range near the target end, and the marksmen will shoot over it. Sand mountain rises at the end of the range, thus making a splendid blackboard for any bullets that might miss the targets.
 The targets will be the regulation Uni ted states army kind, and will be worked in pairs, there being 10 pairs The marks men will work in pairs, thus enabling 20 men to contest at the same time. The targets will be placed in concrete pits, the concrete walls being extremely thick with a heavy bank of dirt fronting the walls toward the marksmen. This will afford protection to the man working the tar gets. who remains in the pit during the shooting.
 Ten men will shoot, then the targets will be lowered and the other targets raised. The other 10 men shoot, their tar gets are lowered and the others raised again. When the targets are lowered the target man marks the spot where the bull let hit. With each pair of marksmen there will be another man with a pair ot field glasses to watch the targets and tell the marksman where he hit. Instruments will also be installed regis tering the exact speed and direction of the wind, while there will be every other facility to aid in accurate shooting
 The preliminary events in the selection of the team to represent Alabama next year in the national shoot will be held or this range.

KAISER WILHELM
 LOSING INFLUENCE

Berlin. November 15.--Because of the tragic death of Gen. Count Huelsen- Haeseler, chief of the German military cabinet, the Emperor has telegraphed Chancellor Won Buelow that the audience arranged to take place at Kiel tomor- row aboard the battleship Deutchland must be deferred. The Emperor will re- turn to Berlin on Tuesday, when the meeting between him and the imperial chancellor, which the country awaits with intense feeling, is expected to occur.
 Count -Haeseler was laughing and talking after dinner at Donaueschin- gen last evening when he suddenly fell, stricken with apoplexy, in the Emperor's presence, and died almost immediately. He had held the position of imperial adjutant for 19 years, and was the Emperors con- stant companion He had the ability to tell most amusing stories in the Berlin dialect and had an immense influence in the army because all promotions passed through his hands.
 Emperor William was greatly shocked at the death of his aide and cancelled ali engagements at Kiel. but after a requiem mass was said at Donaueschingen early this morning at Wnlcn the Emperor lalu a wreath upon the casket containing the body he went to Baden-Baden. where the Empress is visiting her great aunt, the Grand Duchess Louise His majesty Will return to Donaueschingen tomorrow and from there will proceed to Berlin.
 Public irritation against the Emperor, as indicated i'll the newspapers and in the general conversations wherever one goes, seems to increase with the delay to the Emperor's receiving the chancel- Tor. The expectation seems to be that the Emperor, if he recognizes the feeling of the country, will try to tranquilze his subjects.
 The depth of the popular sense of greiv- ance against the Emperor is almost in explicable. One of the leaders of the na- tional liberals in the reichstag said:
 ."rhe Emperor has lost 75 per cent of his influence in Germany within two weeks"
 The general manager of one of the prin- cipal machinery works in Berlin who was present when this remark was made added: Yes, he has lost 90 per cent"

Georoia Faces Bid Deficit.

Atlanta, November 15.-Georgia Will face the largest deficit in her history, approximately $1.0oO,Ooo when the next session of the general assembly is con vened in June. 1909. This condition has been brought about by changes in the convict labor laws and the loss of rev. enue from the sale and manufacture of alcoholic liquors. It is estimated that these two items alone will mean q net loss in revenue of a half million dol lars, increased appropriations for schools making up a large per cent of the re- mainder of the heavy deficit.
