MANY SAW THE
EXPERTS SHOOT
Mr.. AND MRS TCPPERWEiN SHOT
AT THE GROUNDS OF GUN
CLUB YESTERDAY.

Mr.. and Mrs. Ad Topperwein, the
greatest trick pistol, rifle and shotgun
shots in the country, yesterday gave
an exhibition on the grounds of the
Brunswick Gun club, which was wit
messed by large number of visitors
Among the audience was an unusual
ly large number of ladies, who seem
ed to have manifested great interest
in the clever work of the shooters.
Owing to the unusually high wind
which prevailed during the afternoon
it was expected that the exhibition
would have to be curtailed to some
extent, but after the shooters started
their work they continued through the
regular program, and it was carried
out in full.
To say that the shooting of both

them. Some of their shooting was
really more than had been expected,
and several times they were loudly
applauded by the large number of
spectators. Mrs. Topperwein is grace
ful with the shotgun, rifle and pistol.
and, above all, she seems to enjoy
the work as much as the audience
does her clever shooting. Mr.. Top
perwein, as a pistol and rifle shot, is
the best that has ever been seen here,
and some of the difficult shots he
made really surprised the spectators
Mr.. Topperwein represents the
VIM hester Repeating Arms company
and he is one of the most popular am
munition men on the road Mrs. Top
perwein represents the Dead Shot

friends in all sections of the country.

DARkTOWN WAS SCARED.
Negroes Thought Elijah and His
Chariot Had Come.


Atlanta May 5.-Superstitious old
folks in dark town, went wild last
night over the belief that Elijah in
his chariot of fire flad come back to
visit the earth. They gathered in the
public squares and prepared for the
Judgment day. And in truth they had
good reason. Intelligent white people
who saw the same apparition which
struck terror to the darkeys, had no
desire to interfere with it, or to in
vestigate it's nature.
What was if? Well, it was liter
al chariot of fire a whirling mass of
flames on four wheels, tearing down
the street, careening from side to
side, drawn by horse, and the
horses tail and name were also flar-
ing red and blazing.
OF course there was an explanation.
Jealousy and revenge were at the bot
tom of it. Henry Parks, colored, found
out tlat his wife had been going
riding with j. A. Mess, a hac1driver.
Last night Parks followed them, and
when they went into a house. Parks
entered the hack, poured three gal
Ions of kerosene over it, sprinkled a
few extra drops on the horses main
and tail and touched off the match.
Moss emerged just in time to see his
