 The rifle range at Boyles is con- sidered by experts 10 be one of the finest ranges in the United States, and is thoroughly equipped. During the past few months Maj. Clin Price, ord nance officer and assistant executive officer of the range. has been busy getting the range in shape for the shoot. The rifle pit has been thorough ly overhauled and every convenience installed to promote the efficiency of the riflemen. The grounds have been drained and walks laid at each fir ing line. The mess hall and barracks have been renovated and everything done to make the rifle practice a suc- cess. The public is cordially invited to attend the camp.
 The camp is ideally located within the enclosure of the range and tents are prOV1ueu Tor the range offlcerS ana the visiting riflemen. Gen. Joseph Scul- ly will be in charge of the rifle prac- tice and in his absence the duty will devolve on Major Price.
 There is no more efficient or pop ula- officer of the national guard than Major Price. He has risen to his pres ell. position by his merit. He enjoys the unique distinction of having served as an officer In cavalry, infantry and aftillcry branches of the service. His military service dates back to the Spanish American war when as a pri- vate he served in the First Alabama regiment. At the close of the war he joined Troop D, First Alabama cav airy, as a private and rose by regular gradations until he became captain of that command. He was then appoint ed adjutant of the cavalry squadron. resigning to accept the captaincy of Company K. Later he was appointed adjutant of the First field artillery, which position he held until promoted to hts present position as chief of the ordnance department of the state. | It can be truly said that Major Price has honored every military organiza- tion that has honored him and has proven his worth and efficiency In ev- | cry capacity to which he has been called. He has been untiring In his efforts to make the range at Boyles 1 the best in the state, and that he has succeeded Is the opinion of the many l who are versed in these matters.
