REVOLUTIONIZED GUNNERY IN
THE NAVY OF GREAT BRITAIN

London. March 29.-(Special THE re-
tirement from active service of Admiral
Sir Percy Scott marks the passing of one
of the most picturesque figures in the
British navy. Possessed of undoubted
talents and strong personality he long
ago ran foul of his superior officer, Lord
Charles Beresford, and began a bitter
enmity that has continued to the pres
ent day. Although it is said In some
quarters that their now famous quarrel
was originally due to a disagreement
rover woman it is more generally be-
lieved that it was simply the clashing
OF two strong personalities.
Sir Percy made gunnery his speciality,
and may be said to have revolutionize,l
the art in the British navy. After raising
the standard in several vessels under his
immediate command he was made in
spector. Of target practice. As the result
of his reforms the percentage of hits in
the naval practice was raised from AZ To
so. And it is less. than a year since the
admiralty adopted shis new invention for
gun control. which is being kept secret
BY the naval authorities. but which is
said to nave yielded remarkable results

Or. 6H. d. Hatfield, recently elected
governor Of the state, but the Demo
cratic press now engaged in praislng

AS a member of the county court
OF MCDOWELL county, DR.. Hatfield had
county prisoners to build some very
line public highways in his county,
and in his platform in the recaat

throughout the state.
The Hatfield pronouncement or
declaration on the subject greatly
ecIipsed the weak one made by the
opposition ON the matter. Perhaps,
that is why the West Virginia DEM
ocratic press was not then given to
commencing convict labor on the
roads of other states.
1t is gratifying to learn that it
