which would be 9Oc per player
and every player who has the
interest of the game at heart
would be willing, we believe, to
pay their expense personally.
BY arranging in this manner,
the necessity of calling on the
fans for support, which has been
the bugaboo of the game in the
past, would be practically done
away with. In order to arouse
greater interests in the affair,
the four teams could contribute
So. 90 or $40. each for the pur-
chase of suitable trophy for
the pennant winners at the close
of the season. BY restricting
the players to those resident
within a radius of say two miles
of the towns would make the
game strictly an amateur affair.
Four men, not connected with
the teams, one from each town,
they to select a fifth man, could
be selected for the governing
body of the league. We believe
that this would be the solution
of the problem of arranging
games for the season and that
we could have some good clean
sport. If you think well of this
suggestion and, as nearly every
one likes to take the trip to Bar
bourville Saturday evenings,
why not have a meeting of the
various representatives of the
teams at the Advocate office next
Saturday, the Sth, and discuss
this matter.
T. A. Cox was a Barbourville
business visitor Friday.
Mr.. w. R. Raney and little

afternoon.
Mr.. T. H. Hayden returned
Sunday from a weeks business
trip.
A. A. Rice, who was injured
in jumping from a derailed car
in January last, has returned to
work.
Messrs. w. R. Raney and
W. W. Snead, who have been
connected with the Carter opera
tons at Warren for several
years have severed their connec-
ton with this Company and will
locate in other fields. Mr.. Raney
has been with the Carter Coal
Company and its predecessor at
Warren for nearly eight years as
mining engineer and later as
superintendent. DR.. Snead has
been connected with the Com
pany for about the same length
of time as physician and surgeon.
Both of these gentlemen are
splendid fellows, nicer men you
would never meet, and it will be
a loss to the community in their
departure. We trust that they
will meet with the success they
deserve in their new locations.
and we trust that they will not
be so far removed from this sec
ton but what they will be able
to pay eir many friends an
occasional visit. Mr.. c. E Bull
laSaSuperintendent at the An
Choir plant, succeeds Mr.. Raney
at Warren and DR.. B. P. Jones,
who has been located at Artemus
for several years, succeeds DR..
Snead. Both of these gentlemen
are energetic fellows and are
hard workers, and are worthy
successors of Messrs. Raney and

ARTILLERY FIRE
 STUDIED BY ARMY
U. s. Officers Take Up Matter of
 PrOjeCtileS From Various Guns

Fort Sill, Okla, Feb. 21.-Artillery fire, declared by army tacticians to be "the dominating factor in modern warfare" holds the interest at the United States Army School of Fire, the ninth session of which opened here to- day. In conjunction with the school of fire the opening meeting of the school of musketry, which is chiefly concerned in the training of officers in directing and controlling the fire of bodies of troops, was held About 200 commissioned and non-commis- stoned officers are here.
 Field artillery officers were busy to- day with problems of accuracy and range-fnding in the school of fire, which is the outgrowth of the use of entrenchments in military operations. Three-inch guns are used in the school. These shoot a projectile which contains about 200 shrapnel shells and has a maximum range for accurate firing of 5000 yards.
 The officers are taught range find ing, fire control, the most advantag- eous methods of concea1ing troops from fire, the most protective forma- ClonS Tn moving 8 body of troops across a fire-swept field or against an enemy position.
 The musketry school is divided into i've classes and is composed of fif- cen field officers, thirty company and .roop officers, fifteen machine gun officers, and one hundred and ten 1on- n-commissioned officers Col R. M. Blatchford, commandant of the school, is assisted by Capt. H. E. Games and a staff of instructors.

Celebrate With Dynamite.

As a result of celebrating the
Fourth at Ivanhoe one man is dead,
one blinded, and one severely lacerat-
ed. Some young men who had i'm
bibed too freely in booze became dis
satisfied with the ordinary noise of
fire crackers and wanted something
more sensational. Needless to say,
they get it. They procured some dyn-
amite and proceeded to house where
a party was being held.
Here they hung the sticks from two
trees and lit both fuses. A woman in
the house discovered the sparks and
three men went out to investigate.
The dynamite exploded just as one
man came near it, mangling him so
that he died shortly after. The other
two men were also seriously injured,
perhaps fatally, and one will lose his
eyesight.
Five arrests were made and two Of
the cutprits are between Is and IS
years of age.-Granite Falls Journal.
