AIR GUNS
AND OTHER SHOOTING IRONS
MUST NOT BE USED BY BOYS
"A NEAR ACCIDENT BRINGS
FORTH THE MANDATE.

The practice of promiscuous shooc-
ing of air-guns and other firearms by
the younger element of the city must
be abandoned, according to orders is
sued Saturday by Juvenile officer
Patrick Purcell.
Several days ago, two young boys
were walking out East Vine street un.
der an umbrella, when suddenly an
air-gun was fired and the shot pierced
the umbrella, missing the head of one
of the youngsters by not more than
two inches.
The boys were much frightened
and, after hasty survey which failed
to disclose who shut the gun, hurried
home and told their parents of the
near accident.
The parents of the boys decided
not to complain of the incident, but
news of it reached the ears of Juve.
nile officer Purcell and he immediate.
ly informed all dealers in the city
that air-guns or any other firearms
must not be sold 10 young boys.
A fine of 800 with 80 days in the
work-house can legally be imposed
upon any dealer who sells firearms to
minor under seventeen years of
age. The law is equally applicable to
parents who knowingly allow their
children to have such instruments in
their possession and permit them to
use the same.

The fire insurance men were given a
slap in the face by the appointment of
Thomas A. Goode, negro politician,
as deputy state fire marshal, over
competent man they had endorsed.
The reason for Goodies appointment

churches in behalf of Willis, while
Willis spoke in all the other churches

While the Willis road department un-
der the mal-formed and near-worthless
"decentralized" highway law has
raised the local taxes in every county
for overhead expense. the roads of
Ohio have gone to ruin and were never
in worse condition than they are to-
day. Many of the main travelled roads
are at times impossible. Farmers and
local business men are suffering as a
result.

The 6. o. p. showed its usual regard
at election time for the colored brother
in the primaries. Ralph Tyler, who
sought to be a delegate to Chicago,
won the lowest place on the ticket
when all votes were counted. The
amusing thing is in the appeal made
for the negro vote by the Republican
party and the ability to hold it by
honoring the race with menial jobs.

FRENCH A|RMEN IN
THRILLING BATTLE

PARIS, Sept. 29.-Second Lieut..

the bringing down on yesterday OF
three German aeroplanes in two min
utes and thirty second by a stop-watch.
Following his daring exploit the in
trepid French aviator feel a distance
OF ten thousand feet, escaping unhurt,
when a German shell stripped his
aeroplane wing.
The fight in which Lieut. Guynomer
added these new laurels to his al
ready illustrious record began when he
went to the assistance of another avia-
tor engaged in combat with five Ger
man machines. Guynomer previously
had brought down eighteen Teutonic
aeroplanes.

A. l. !. Bows in Sham Battle.

nice soldier boys to sleep for long,
long slumber. The latter was smell
ed out at Helton's rifle range, ana
again at the sham battle Monday. This
sham battle would have resulted sadly
for the Americas company, but, thank
goodness, it was sham battle, and
not the real a la European style Of
killing. 1t took place five miles from
Macon, on the crest of a hill where
during the War Between the States a
skirmish took place, and it was a nat
ural fortification. Well, not exactly
natural" but after two days digging
the Americus boys made it look nat
ural. The Fifth and First regiments
and the battalion of cavalry formed the
Rrown brigade, and declared war
against the Second regiment, the
Reds, who were entrenched in the

and against a thousand, but the ban

outer guards, had encountered the
enemy, and at the first skirmish the
Browns were driven from our trench
with heavy loss, but toward the last

CITIZENS MUST.
.DEC|OE FUTURE
Of THE y.M. C.A.

The future of the Americus Y. M.
G. A. is up to the people of the city.
The membership campaign of three
days has fallen short of the goal, and
there is not sufficient financial guar
antee to furnish the Y. NJ. C. A. the
proper field to work in. So, the people
must say what shall be done.
The Blues won the battle over the
Reds in the membership campaign.
The aim of 200 new members was
small for city the size of Americus,
and it was large when the results of
the campaign were told last night.
Either the support of the people, or
The sale of the institution must come
to settle the Y. NJ. C. A. matter so far
as Americus is concerned. One or
the other must be done quickly.
The building is one of the handsom-
est in the South, and is wonderful
credit to the city. But, without the
proper financial backing it cannot be
sustained.
The ladies of the city were in thor
ough cooperation with the directors
and the campaigners during their
seige. The luncheon last night was
served by Mrs. c. P. Davis, Mrs. George
duncan, Misses Arbie and Jennie Har-
rison, Misses Alice and Nell Worthy.
