NAMED ON ARTILLERY CORPS TEAM Six Members of the Third Company Will Have Tfyout-
 Anticipating School of Instruction

evening to lead the companies to and from Buckingham Memorial with the veterans and Sons of Veterans. It is expected that Dr. P. H. Hartman and Rev. w. A. Keefe will address the gathering and that two of the veterans who were at the battle of Piedmont will speak. There will be a chowder with the fixings served by the Waure- gan house, with other interesting dish es on the menu, so that a fine time should result. There will be singing by a quartette and also by Corporal Turner of the Fifth company.
 Officers of the coast artillery corps c N G., are looking forward to an arder directing them to report for a school of instruction at Fort H. G. Wright or Fort Terry, during this month. Owing to the state rifle match on June A and 25 there has been con siderable difficulty in arranging for the dates of the school. It is desired that they should not conflict but the most 24 p and 26, which were agreed on by the Coast Artillery Officers associa- tion.
 officers feel that they should not abandon the chance to take part in the state matches and still consider ular officers at the fort would be most valuable. The infantry officers will have a similar camp at Mantle in preparation for the annual tour of du- ty.
 In years past many organizations of the C. N G. have depended fer stim- ulus largely on rifle matches, so the officers are loath to let the school of instruction interfere with the coming match. Some of the officers have sug- sested that the coast artillery have in divfdual and team matches in Septem- ber if the state match cannot be att tended In this event cash prizes would probably be offered by the of dcers' association.

jury. which is investigating conditions
in the packing industry, today called
before it Thomas Hoops, a department

Packing company, was summoned. With
evidence already obtained from James
Sager, president of the Western Pack
ing and Provision company, another So
called independent it is expected the
jurors will be put into possession Of facts
relative to what competition, if any, has
existed in the meat business.
Since 1903, it was declared by q lawyer
in the case today, the independents
have flOuTished under a writ issued by
Judge GrOsscup, enjoining the packers
from taking advantage Of their position
to wreck smaller concerns. The cOuse-
quence was. said the lawyer, that the
little packers were able to buy cattle
and hogs at the same price paid by the
big packers and also were able to sell
dressed meat at the same price as the
big packers.
This was offered as an argument that
no trust exists, although the buying and
selling prices appeared TO be without the
element OF competition
