The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1915-05-01

The lumber industry in Hattiesburg
and vicinity has undergone but little,
if any change during the last week,
the manufacturers say.
: Some good-sized orders have been
placed at fair prices, and the outlook
for business is encouraging. the
prices will not be normal till the Eu-
ropean war is over is the prevailing
opinion among both buyers and manu-
facturers. That prices will ever go
as high as they were a few years ago
is a matter Of much doubt among both
buyers and manufacturers. That the
market viii grow stronger from time
to time and advance little even be-
fore the close Of hostilities is the gen.
eral opinion.
The following prices on leading
kinds and grades of lumber prevailed
during the past few days: Edge grain

1921 Gun CLUBS
ARE ON The MAP

A revised gun club map Of the
United States just issued by the du-
Pont Powder Company, showing the
location of towns containing organ
lied clubs, gives the total number Of
clubs up to November 10, 1914, as
1921. It is estimated that the aver
age membership o. these clubs is fifty
making a total of 161 $50 trapshooters
belonging TO clubs that shoot
regularly.
There are probably still more trap
shooters not members of organized
clubs, mostly in farming sections.
The increasing popularity of the
hand trap tends to swell the number
OF unorganized trapshOOters.
The total of all classes is estimated
at 100000, probably more actual par
ticipants than can be found in any
other American sport. The number
of cities in this State containing one
or more organized gun clubs is given
as--
Trapshooting is undoubtedly grow

that the next annual map will show

Glass A Eugene dupont championship

the DUPONT traps tomorrow afternoon.
Leedom announced last Saturday
after Carlon defended his title against
Bill Wood that he would be pleased
to take on the winner, and CarlOn
said he was as willing to give the
challenger all the satisfaction he
wanted, and as no further prelimi-
naries were necessary the pair we're
matched for tomorrow II ought to
be a good race, and in conjunction
with the sixth Alden b. Richardson

Those who have already won the

which will be one of the best ever

It is said that several Of the best
amateurs in the East will meet in
two man team race on the local
grounds. Nothing definite along
these lines has yet been decided but
the principals are discussing the af-
fair, and if a suitable trophy is pro-
vided no doubt the match will be ar
ranged. Tentatively. the list OF pos
sible entrants includes some OF Della
