TRAP SHOOTERS OF STATE
TO meet. HERE NEXT MONTH
Third and Fourth of July Will Be Made Gala Days Here
in Connection With the Meeting Of the Trap Shoot.
eFS Of the State Practice at Club Grounds

traps between now and the coming
meeting.
There will be a shoot at the club
grounds this afternoon, also one on
Thursday afternoon. This program
will be maintained each week, shoots
On tuesdays and Thursdays, until the
meeting occurs here in July. For
this reason local trap shooters will be
given an excellent opportunity to get
into shape for the tournament.
AT the state meeting here there will
be present shooters from all sections
OF the state and of the Southern states
so that the event will be one of un-
usual Importance to all who like trap
shooting. A dinner will be served at
the Country club at the July meeting
by the ladies as a benefit for the Coun-
try club. This will prove an occasion
of unusual interest.
AS there will be two fast games of
baseball here on July 4, it would seem
that the celebration of that day this
year will be as elaborate as it was
last year, when probably the largest
crowds ever known at a Fourth of
July celebration were present to help
in the enjoyment of the occasion here.
The ball game schedules for the day
have not yet been announced, but it
is known that they will be fast
games.

TROY BUNCH
DEFEATED IN
A SLOW GAME
The SCORE WAS ONE,SIDED
Better Game Promised For
Today

In one-sided game the team from
Troy, Alabama, was defeated by the
locals yesterday by the score of II to
c. The Troy team was so completely
outclassed that it was unable to push
a single run over the home plate.
1t was evidently an off-day for the
players from Alabama, who are mani
mestly capable of playing better ball
than the article they put up yesterday
afternoon. A much better game IS
promised for today, and large bunch
Of fans will be on hand to enjoy the

An event of interest will be the
FIRST state meeting of the Georgia
~Trap shooters association recently or
panized. which will meet here in an
rual session on July and A.
Americus has been successful in Sc
curing the first two sessions of the
newly organized association, which
came into existence as an organiza-
ton at the recent Southern handicap
conducted at Columbus.
1t is fortunate that Americas was
enabled to secure the first two ses-
sions of the newly organized associa-
ton. which will meet here July 81,
for the 1912 session, and will also meet
here next year for the session of 1913.
The Americus Gun club and trap
shooters throughout this entire Sec
ton are especially interested in the
meeting to be held here soon, which
promises to be of unusual interest and
success. Preparations are already be-
ing made to entertain the visitors
when they come.
In order that the greatest interes'
possible may be aroused here not on
ly among the members of the Ameri-
icus Gun club, but also among all
who like trap shooting, the courtesies
of the Gun club grounds will be ex-
tended to every trap shooter in this
section who wishes to practice at the

S1,5OO,OO0 TO Be
USED ON LEVEES

Washington. D. c.. April 27-
One and a half million dollars
will be available Monday for re-
building the levees of the Mississ-
lppi river and its tributaries,
when President Taft affixes his
signature 20 the Percy resolution,
which was rushed through the
house late this afternoon, the re-
solution already having passed
the Senate. The only thing ne
cessary is the presidents sigma
ture, and Mr.. Taft has signified
his willingness to sign the res
olution early Monday morning.
The resolution directs the sec
retary of war to rebuild the le-
wees. either by contract or other
wise, in accordance with plans
and specifications Of the Missis-
sippi River Commission, appro-
we'd by chief Of Engineers Bixby.
General Bixby said tonight that
no time will be lost, and that the
district officers will start theWork
Monday.
He has no doubt but that with
ample appropriation, the levees
will be in condition to withstand
the expected June floods. Rep
restive Ransdell of Louisiana and
Humphreys of Mississippi and
Jacoway and Good win of Arkan-
sas, were in charge of the reso-
luton while it was being
considered in h e house
There was no debate as to the
merits of the proposition, the
consensus of opinion being that
the amount was not to large
and that it should be ready for
use without delay.

CRUEL FATE.

After serving twelve years in a
Utah penitentiary for murder he
did not commit, Nathan Haworth,
Fort Dodge young man, is now
about to be libera,ed because the
real murderer confessed to the
crime, and told about it in detail,
just before he was hung for anoth-
er crime Not only has young Ha-
worth been the victim Of this
strange destiny, but his parents,
faithful to their boy, and brother
and sister, all devoted their savings
and earnings to an attempt to clear
him. From comfortable independ-
ence, the parents were reduced to
meager circumstances and shortly
after his Incarceration the mother
died broken hearted. The crime was
the killing of a night Waterman in
Salt Lake City. Howarth, strang-
er to the city, happened to be pick
ed up as a suspect and circumstan-
tial evidence was fixed upon him so
as to bring about his con-

ROOSEVELT OR TAFT.

The fight now going on for the
republican presidential nomination
should not be compromised by per-
sonalities. There are vital principles
involved. Theodore Roosevelt rep
resents the progressive republican
ideas and President Taft stands for
the things which the reactionaries
want. 1t makes no difference wheth-
er you like Roosevelt or not, if you
believe in the principles he advo-
Gates you should support him, pro-
viding, of course, it is apparent that
Cummins or LaFollette cannot win.
If you believe in the things Taft
advocates he is the man to vote for.
Both the president and the expires
ident have their friends. Both have
their enemies. But the things for the
people to determine is, (which rep
resents and typifies the principles
want embodied into law There
has been altogether too much per-
sonal abuse on both sides-on all
sides, for that matter. The friends
of Roosevelt do not care one whit
for the anti-third term cry and the
men who are. using it to defeat him
care just as little. If Roosevelt
should be called to the white house
again he would do his best to serve
the people, as he did when he was
there before, and so we'll did he sue
coed then that he was reelected by
the largest majority ever accorded a.
candidate for president. When he
retired at the end of his second term
so strongly was he intrenched in
the confidence of the people that he
practically named his successor and
the campaign was waged and won
upon the record he had made What
if he has done some things which he
should have left undone, his entire
official record, from the time he was
police commissioner of New York
down to the day he left the white
house, is a record of accomplish
ments for good government and
proper accounting of official respon
sibilities. He is one of the most ag-
and industrious men the |
world has ever known. His courage |
IS superb and as Henry Watterson
said few years ago, his mind is
he most active and alert of any
nan since Napoleon. In the final an

THAT WOODS COMMITTEE. /"

THAT WOODS COMMITTEE"
The manager of Hon. Frank P.
Woods campaign, located at Hum
boldt, has been sending out litera-
ture over the district calculated to
create wrong impression. The sta
tionery used would lead one to be-
lieve that the republican county
committee are backing his candid
acy, as it has the following head
ing: 'tThe Woods Humboldt County
Republican Committee" The Hum
bodt Republican explains the mat
ter as follows: "The Frank P.
Woods campaign headquarters in
Humboldt that is mailing campaign
literature under the head of THE
Woods Humboldt County Republic
can Committee has no connection
WIN the Humboldt county TepuDll-
can central committee nor any 9TH
er committee of republicans in Hum
boldt county. The only persons con-
nected with the headquarters are
Frank P. Woods and his secretary or
campaign manager, E. l. Stanhope.
The literature mailed by this
headquarters tends to lead the vot-
ers to believe that there is a COM
mittee of Humboldt county repub-
licans pushing the Woods. candidacy.
The reverse is true. 1t is estimated
that Humboldt county will go for
Paul Stillman for congress by two
to one. Personally the publisher of
this paper likes Frank P. Woods,
but he is not the best timber avail
able for congress, and We should
choose the best. Further, history
should be kept straight
