papers, finding that there is a big
public interest in trap shooting are
printing compete reports OF shoots
and are running to the game. This
applies alike to the large metropoli.
tan dailies and to the country week
lies.
When 1t comes to actual statistics
or trap shooting in Yankee land, the
figures bulk big. From personal
investigations made by the writer
OF this article. II was learned
that there are in active operation to-
day between the two oceans more
than 1000 clubs at which trap shoot
ing Is the main amusement. These
clubs are for the most part affiliated
with state organizations and with the
Interstate Association for the Promo
tion Of Trap Shooting-the national
organization. In 1912 these clubs en-
tered more than $1,000 shooters in
regularly scheduled shoots, mainly
I
alton. Illinois was the first of the
states in this representation with
$500 shooters. Pennsylvania was next
with 300 Across the border in Can
ada, nearly 1900 shooters went to the
firing line in registered and unregis.
tered shoots. And in both the United
States and Canada more than a mil
lion and a half targets were shot at
of which there is record. OF course
there were thousands of club shoots
and independent meets on which no
reports are available.
1t is emphatically shown in the re-
cords Of 1912 shoots that the repeating
arm is by all odds the trap shoot
er's favorite gun. OF the $4,000
shooters reported last year more than
10000 used repeating shotgms-Rem-
ingtons predominating In Canada the
proportion was even larger, over 800
Of the 1900 shooters using repeating
arm-about $50 Of these being Rem
ingtons.
Out Of this army Of trap shooters, a
great many exceptionally good shots
have developed. W. H. Heer, one
Of the veterans Of the sport, holds the
worlds record for a seasons average
Of 97.75 per cent made In 1910-which
means that he broke practically 9S
out of every 100 cay birds shot at
and there are many others who have
averaged 95.6 per cent. Last year
more than 700 shooters were listed
in the 80 per cent or better class by
the sporting press.
Naturally, lively rivalry has sprung
up between gun clubs as to champion
ship bonors. This wholesome spirit
has extended to inter club shoots and
finally to contests between cities and
even to international competitions.
Leagues are operating where strings
OF cities contend for pennants here
again following the famously success
full baseball practice.
These are unmistakable signs of
the increasing strength of trap shoot
ing's hold on the immense sport low
ing population of the great republic
of the North.

"JIM CROW" NEWSPAPER.

Look on the front page of your
Chattanooga News of next Saturday
for two pretty little black stars. If
stars are there and you are a white
man, throw the paper into the gutter
at once, for the management of the
paper does not want you to read 1t.
ii you are a Negro and the stars are
not there, hasten to return the paper
to the carrier, for it is a white mans
paper and the News management in
sists that Negroes must not read the
papers printed exclusively for white
people.
It is q system Of newspaper publiGa-
ton that appeals to the well-posted
newspaper man and reader as one of
the funniest schemes ever evolved.
The proposal Of publishing a "Jim
Crow newspaper is something new
under the sun. There have been Jim
Crow restaurants, Jim Crow postOf-
fees, Jim Crow laws regulating the
seating of the races in street cars
But who ever heard of a Jim Grow
newspaper, an edition that is forbid,
den to the whites, and another that
is under the ban so far as the Ne
groes are concerned?
Those stars, which were seer in
last Saturdays issues of the News,
appear on the front page of the co.
pies printed for exclusive perusal by
the Negroes. It had not been sup.
posed that the Negroes were intelli.
gent enough to guess the hidden mean
ing Of the little black characters, and
it was not intended that the Negroes
should secure possession of other edi.
tions Of the paper so as to find that
there was a discrimination in the
matter of alleged news dished out for
the consumption of different elements
of local citizenship. But the publish
ers of the paper made a bad guess.
The black stars were the wrong color.
The color press should have been
brought into play and the stars print
er red or green or any other color
excepting the significant black. The
Negroes, who are, many of them,
careful newspaper readers, have not
been fooled in the slightest. In fact
those who received last Saturdays

move of the News, and they proposed
to let the publishers know that as
subscribers they were entitled to all
the news of all sorts printed by that
paper. On the other hand, they value
at nought the printing! or their news
for colored consumption only.

One advertisement Has secured by
reason of the page, tlmt of a colored
photographer of East Ninth street.
He took one inch, single, displayed.
The leading news story related to
the coming National Baptist Conven-
ton at Nashville. Then came an
item about the State Normal for COL
ored people at the state capital. A
long quotation from DR.. B. F. Riley,
of Birmingham, on Our Duty to the
Negroes" was full of advice to the
white people of the south, but none
of them saw it, by reason OF its pub
LEGATION in this edition, which reach
ed no white people, Booker Wash
ington was given nearly a column.
News of various churches and
lodges took up considerable space.
The Rev. M. w. Moore had a card
in which he thanked the manage
ment Of the paper for an offer to
give this page a week to the news
of the colored people. That offer was
probably made privately, and it re-
mains to be seen whether the colored
pastor understood that the Negro
news was to be saeredly kept away
from white eyes. The most interest
ing column was devoted to social
news of colOred circles. The name
of the society editor was not publish
ed. Among social gatherings given
prominence was a meeting of the
Modern Dorcas Embroidery Circle
and the Married Ladies' Club.
Page 20 of the white edition was
headed "a Page of Interest to Wage
Farmers" Wage earners among the
Negroes were not permitted to see
this page of interest to them.
1t will be interesting to watch for
the Jim Crow stars on the News of
next Saturday.

Jim Crow paper are up in arms. The
same ones, when served with Mon
days publication, to a great extent,
tore their papers into shreds without
ever looking for the Jim Crow mark.
In Churchville and in the Negro set
Elements in the city the News is now
a jim Crow paper and it will take a
generation to get that idea out Of
their head.
Page 20 of Saturdays issue of the
News was the one where the exclu-
sion of news was made for the benefit
of different elements of readers. The
sop was thrown to, the labOring peo-
PIE on one side and to the Negroes
on the other. OF course, the laboring
people have made no complaint that
they have been deprived of the cream
of the news of the colored people,
nor have the Negroes made definite
complaint that they have been de-
prived of reading the news Of labor
ing circles. The latter think their
news, if worth publication at all,
should be served to the white readers
as well as colored. What is the good
of publishing the doings Of the colored
people if only colored people, who
already know of all the happenings,
are to be informed? They want the
white people to read of them and it
is Just now the subject of much dis
cussion among them that their news
is not considered good reading for
the entire circulation of any newspa,
per. The bait to secure something
like a circulation among the colored
people of the city and suburbs has
not been swallowed up to date.
Those two stars were placed on the
front page of Saturdays News as in
formation to the carrier boys to
whom to deliver the paper. They
worked it effectively so far as can be
learned. It cannot be found that any
white people secured copies of the
Jim Crow edition, neither did the
Negroes get copies of the white edi-
ton unless they bought them on the
street. Yesterday a copy of the black
edition was brought to The Times by
a Negro of Churchville, who was one
of a number who came in possession
of both editions. It was stated that
the Negroes felt outraged by the

ardize their association, not on ex-
ternal or transient Establishments, but
rather, on moral integrity, educational
attainments and health.
He declared that the highest social
relationship should not be established
between persons Of opposite tenden-
cies, and possessing unequal quail
tications-in short that they should
not be unequally yoked.
He advised more careful fore
thought in the selection of compan-
ions and life partners, as the highest
contributory factor to the welfare of
the race-thus preserving it's social,
moral and intellectual worth.
The attendance was unusually large
and consisted not only Of the members
of the association, but also Of a large
number of the students of Walden
University and many of the people of
the city.
Under the auspices of the Y. M. c.

He declared he was going to do all
he could for the entertainment Of

that he would not care to be quoted
as to his personal attitude towards
the Convention coming to Nashville.
There are scores of others who ex-
pressed themselves on their unwill-

Convention. The following telegram
vas sent to President E. c. Morris,
ID. D., at Helena, Ark, and Prof. R.
B. Hudson, A. NJ, Secretary of the

Ala:
Persistent rumors to the effect
that movements are on foot to re-
