May Make Crack shotsmen.

An invitation has been sent to the
authorities Of Clemson College by the
adjutant general, w. w. Moore, ac-
cording to information received at
Charleston to have the cadets OF that
institution visit the rifle range be-
tween April Is and so for the purpose
OF developing their Workmanship to
the end that these young men may In
time become feeder to the National
Guard complement of crack shots. AS
a result of the rifle practice which
Is now annually held By the Citadel,
several particularly good shots have
developed and found position with
the National Guard team, and the
idea OF the adjutant general Is that
by encouraging rife practice among
the 600 students Of Clemson, number
may be depended upon to develop
into craftsmanship and supplement
the available men for the annual ma
tional shoots at Camp Perry, Ohio.
