Much Target Practice.


For days continuous stream of
lead and steel was poured into the tar
gets on the military reservation.
From sunrise until sunset the bluffs
surrounding the camp echoed and re-
echoed with the thousands of reports
from the firing line Most deafening
was the roar of the machine guns,
squirts, as the troops call them, as
they sent steady stream against the
rock bluff, as stream of water comes
from hose.
The machine guns were all working
perfectly, and the members Of the com
panies are well drilled and thoroughly
familiar with their work
The riveting machine up on a sky
scraper under construction Is what
machine gun sounds like, only the guns
work Il little faster, shooting as many
us 700 shots per minute.
General lIOlway was determined to
give the recruits as much target prac-
tlce as he could crowd into the days
remaining before the troops moved. He
gave them practice at 100 yards and
200 yards, slow fire, and rapid fire at
200 yards. The rockies got their
first lesson In how to fire when they
have TO shoot fast to hold off Il charg-
ing line of foes

honor of being the first units of the

of securing equipment for the recruits
and by the fact that the work Of mus

expected.
The Wisconsin troops were sent to
Fort Sam Houston at San Antonio,
where it is expected they will remain
in camp temporarily.
For days before the orders for entrain-

had been eagerly awaiting the time
when they would start for the front.
officers and men alike were impatient
to be on their way to the border where
they might have n chance TO see active

well utilized, however, for when the

troops were thoroughly equipped and
supplied with ammunition. At the

members OF the Guard and the new
recruits continued without a minutes

NEGROES GOING NORTH.

Brunswick, Aug. 17-If negro labor
ers continue to leave Brunswick in as
large numbers as has been the case
for the past few weeks, it is expected
that tn authorities will be called upon
to take some steps in order to stop the
exodus. While negroes have been de-
parting from this city for Haverstraw
N. Y, in large numbers for the past
several weeks, the work has been done
so quietly that nothing was known of
it. Finally, the labor situation reach
ed the acute stage here, and an inves-
tigation brought out the fact that the
blacks had been leaving by the dozens
for this New York town, where they
have been given employmnt in a large
brick yard.

STORY OF GOODYEAR
 SOUNDS ROMANTIC
Commenced In Business In 1898 and Has Shown Almost Marvellous
 Growth

The story of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company reads like a romance, with each chapter in it's history more wonderful than the previous one. Com mencing business in 1898 with a capital of s45O00 and a factory having a floor space of some 3S, GOO square feet, the com pany has grown to monumental propor- tions with capital stock of $25,000, 600 and factory which is really 31 factories joined in one massive whole, with a floor space of 55 acres. Originally 100 workers were employed in making Good swarm to and from their daily tasks, with the number constantly increasing.
 The original factory has passed from existence and is now only a memory. There remains not one brick on another of the original buildings. The factory was rebuilt and practically doubled three years ago, and it was thought that am- pie provision had been made for normal growth for some years. But the great motoring public of the country would not have 1t so. There has been constant race between the building erectors and the demand for Goodyear tires--with the demand for tires still leading.
 Tn 1907 Goodyear made 28,685 automo- bile tires-less than two days production now. A most impressive idea of the wonderful progress Goodyear has made in the. rubber world can be gained by contrasting the sales force of seven men in 1902 with the wonderful army of 500 loyal and enthusiastic men who are now representing the company in the United States and other important countries

OVERLAND SYSTEM. 0F CATCHING AUTO. THIEVES A WINNER
Every Overland Agent In Country Looks Out for
 Stolen Cars and
 RecOvers Them

In these days when the 'Bertillcn,'' the finger print" and the numerous oth- CT systems" of running down criminals of all kinds are at the command of our police and detective departments, 1t is rather unusual to discover an establish ment with real live thoroughly organ ized "gum-shoe" department of it's own.
 Yet that is what the Willys-O Overland company maintains for users of its cars. who suffer from thefts of their automo- hiles.
 It is simple system, but well-nigh in- fallible in it's ability to find the missing machines, and often to apprehend the thieves.
 AS soon as an Overland car is stolen its owner notifies the Overland dealer in his district. The dealer in turn notifies the factory. At once a description of the stolen car, and the facts of the case. are dispatched to all Overland dealers in the United States.
 These are posted in conspicuous places, and the dealer and his employees are in- structed to be on the lookout for q car answering the description. As 1t Is a cer- tainty that sooner or later tho car will turn up at an Overland garage, tho own- CT stands a good chance of getting his property back in short order.
 Simple, isn't it? And effective, too, as the recovery of several cars recently would demonstrate. In fact, auto thieves must be learning to leave Overland cars alone as reports of stolen Overlands are diminishing in number right along.

RED SALES MANAGER FINDS FACTORY IN HANDS OF AN AGENT
Buffalo Distributor Insists On Having Cars Routed to Buffalo and It
 Is Done

Things are getting to pretty pass when the dealers take matters into their own hands and begin to run the fac- tory" says R. C. Reushaw, salesmanager of the Rec Motor Car company.
 That isn't precisely what Is happen ing, but the other day when I got back to the factory from lunch. I thought for few moments that condition had come about.
 ''As I walked into my office I noticed a bag that looked familiar to me, and the initials "A. W. M looked still more familiar. In fact they revived reminis- censes of many pleasant visits to Buffalo and of MT. A. w. Meyer, our distributor at that point, and one of the mainstays of the Reo sales organization.
 My goodness! is Meyer here7 asked my co-defendant Harry Lee. I'll bet he wants a trainload of cars, 50 I guess I'd better beat it.
 "'He not only wants a trainload,' re- piled Lee. but he's out in the factory getting them
 That looked more serious, so I hot footed it out to the factory, and after traversng miles of aisles and stumbling over what seemed to be millions of tons of material, I finally arrived at the ship ping platform.
 Sure enough, there was Meyer. in- sisting that every car as it was loaded be routed for Buffalo
 T demonstrated with him, but he in- sisted that he had, through personal pull, nanaged to have some 40 empties sent on to the Rea factory and he was there to see that every one of them was re- turned to Buffalo. Protested he had giv- en his personal word to the president of the New York Central to that effect
 'I tried every kind of persuasion known to a salesmanager, and finally gave 1t up as bad job.
 However, found that our transports ticn man had not gained his reputation for nothing and that he had long since found way to deal with those distribu- tors who insist upon having the entire factory output. He promised Meyer ev- erything that was loaded that day-but he saw to 1t that Wyckoff of Pittsburgh Jones of Hastings. Hawkes. of Minneapo lis, and some other Reo distributors re- ceived their quota of the cars of that days run, or as many of them as the railroad cars obtained would permit"

SMITH OF CHALMERS. COMPANY PRAISES
 NEWSPAPER SPACE
Vice President of Company Says Newspaper Is the Salesman of
 Today

While 75 of the livest automobile deal CTS of North and South Carolina listened enraptured by his eloquence, Paul Smith company, told of the promises of thu company to its representatives and spok, of salesmanship at the convention held in Charlotte last Monday. Mir. Smith i an absolute genius at selling and his enthusiasm was infused into each man present The result proved a rejuvena ton of Chalmers in the Carolinas, and will be even more far-reaching as tim goes by.
 The Chalmers company Is a great bel liever and practicer in newspaper ad. vertising. More than s7oo, ,oo0 of the mill lfon-dollar advertising will be used iS newspapers this year, great portion go1 ing to those in the south Four big nal tional publications are used, but the biss money goes to the newspapers. In talk, ing of this MT. Smith, in his speechl said:
 '"The newspaper Is the now salesnart We are the greatest believers in thE newspapers and are proving our faith b, sticking to them. We expect to comN into each mans home town and spenll our money there. We want to hit homs and we want our representatives to coni meet up all Chalmers advertising witt their names. National advertising |. great and we spend money in 1t. Bu, the local newspaper hits the solar plexu blow. It is the right arm. The nationsl advertising Is the accessory after thl fact. The advertising which sells am makes satisfied customers is that in th newspapers-the now salesmen. So gf home, become better, liver salesmen your selves and cash in our partnership eff fort to help you and ourselves" x
 Following the convention on Tuesda, the Chamber of Commerce gave dime in honor of MT. Smith, and he spoke al great length on the present golden agl of prosperity and that part which thu south is playing. He declared the sout in the finest condition since the wal and pictured prosperity for this sectio, such as has never been dreamed.

mediate deliveries that it was impos- sible. In the list entered were the model ''75' roadster, model "75'' touring car, model "S3' roadster, model ''S3'' touring car, model "S3' demountable limousine top, model ''S3'' delivery special, Willys- Knight roadster, Willys-Knight touring car. These cars were driven by Over land salesmen.
 The South Highlands Garage was rep resented in the parade by four cars as beautiful as ever were seen on the streets here-the Oldsmobile. There were two D. passenger, 4-cylinder cars, one 5-passen- ger 8-cylinder car, and one S-cylinder roadster
 The Flint Motor Car company entered two Velies and two Chevrolets. The Velie is a comparatively new car in Bir- mingham, as. is also the Chevrolet
 The A. l.. Boorse Motor Car company had two Chalmers in the parade. Paul Crawford had two models of the Chand- Ter. Five Maxwell cars of different styles were entered by the DeShazo Motor com pany, and the Detroit Motor Car com pany entered the Paige. Charles Dem egre had a Packard twin-six in the line, and the Cruse-Crawford company were represented by Q huge White "45."
 The Capitol Park Motor company had G. M. c. truck in the pageant ana a Rush light delivery truck, to which was attached Simplex trailer, which car ried a pyramid of Lee tire construction. E. G. Willingham Sons local agent had q Superior truck entered.
 THE MOTORCYCLE DIVISION
 The motorcycle division of the parade proved one of it's most interesting fea- lures. Robert Stubbs had in the lineup four Indians, representing the latest thing in Indians, from the "featherweight' on up to the heavy machines which climb any old kind of hill and do as much work as an automobile without collaps- ing. The Alabama Auto Supply company had one big Excelsior and one baby Ex- celsior and Henderson in the turnout
 William F. Specht, Jr., mournfully viewed the parade and wished he had some of his Harley -Davidsons in it. Mr. Specht was very unfortunate in that he could not hold even one Harley-Davidson for the parade. He only recently se cured a solid carload of this motorcycle, and purchasers were so insistent in their demands for immediate delivery that he could not keep even a demonstration. However, Mir. Specht got carload of Harley-Davidsons Friday and says he is ready for another parade-if they will have 1t quick.
 The automobile men of the city are greatly pleased with the result of the parade, and, indeed with Fashion Week. The showing of the fashionable make of automobiles Wednesday led to many in- quiries being made, and the dealers be- lieve that they will receive orders months hence as direct result of the parade.

CHANDLER ENTERS YOSEMITE THROUGH
 M|D-W|NTER SHOWS
Touring Party Successfully Completes Hazardous Motor Trip-NO
 Trouble

The Chandler six has set Q new kind of record. It is the first car to enter the Yosemite valley in the dead of winter Word of this feat has just. reached Chandler company. The performance is considered extraordinary in view of the deep snow.
 On a Friday morning late in Decem- Der. a. party of four, including MT. and Mrs. Frank A. Stanley of New York City. Mrs Stanley's sister, Mrs. c. w. Tyron also of New York, and Roy J. Nicol of San Francisco, owner and driver of the car, left the St. Francis hotel, San Francisco, in Chandler six for a. Coulterville road.
 The total distance to Yosemite and return was exactly 500 miles," says the San Francisco Chronicle in telling the story of the tour. "No engine troubles or mechanical troubles of any kind were encountered either going or coming.
 The automobile making the journey was Chandler type 16 seven-passenger touring car. Prior to this run the owner of the car, Nicol, had driven the ma- chine over 1000 miles in a period of about four months duration.
 During the 12,500 miles covered by the machine not one mechanical difficulty has been encountered either with engine or transmission, not one cent required for repair work, not a spark plug changed. Upon the completion of the Yosemite trip the motor was examined and found in perfect condition throughout
 Tt should be noted that this car at the time 1t made the run was the only vehicle of any kind whatsoever that had entered the Yosemite valley since the middle of November, over a month be- fore. This statement is an authentic one, made by the park officials them selves, and easily verified by anyone interested"
