Early next week the work of
constructing the rife pit and other
equipment for the military rife
range here will be completed and
Raleigh and the companies of the
North Carolina National Guard
in this section of the state will
have at hand a range that will be
the same size--one thousand yards
long--as the Camp Glenn range
at Morehead, fitted, too granolith-
ic rife pit and steel frame targets.
The work has been going on with
some interruption now and again;
for over a year. There will still
be some grading to do before the
full thousand yards range will be
available In as good condition as
it should be. 1t will prove a
great boon for the guardsmen Of
this whole section. The range is
being equipped by The Raleigh
Rifle Association Of which Major
j. j. Bernard is president and Col,
R. L. Leinster is secretary and
treasurer.
Officers of the Eastern North
Carolina district and circuit court
have returned from the term held

during which time there were two
prisoners given terms in the Unit
ed States penitentiary at Atlanta.
one sent to the government re.
formatory at Washington and an
other remanded to Jail in the state
for a II months term. It is ar
interesting fact that six of the
: prisoners sent to Atlanta were
! from Carteret county, the group
{ being G. N. Virgins and three
! sons and two of their close neigh
! bors, Henry Stubs and Harry
Moore, who were convicted o.
!, blockading in a case in which il
appears that the dwelling of &
man named Lilly was burned
down by some of these men OF
: their friends because Lilly report
E ed the distilleries. This was also
! the case in which E. F. Sanders
!, has skipped his $500 bond in con
nection with the charge that. ht
was selling the whiskey that these
blockaders were making.
