tgy PETER p. CARNEY

Editor National Sports Syndicate
 While in a way 1t is correct, the Increasing by leaps and bounds" phrase so often used. doesn't for a moment tell the story of the won ieTrul growth Of trapshooting as a sport, nor of the quality Of the shooters who have become affiliated with the King of Sports. There Is quantity, but there is quality, too. There are more trapshootcrs, and better t'apshooters, today than ever before.
 Considerable attention has paid to the statistics of the sport during the past two years, and these figures tell us many interesting things. They show that in 1915 the number of trapshooters who made straight runs between 5O and 75 tlr. gets were 2243 That the number that broke between 7j and 100 tar. gets were 358, and that 195 made runs of more than 100. Contrast this to the performance in l9l6- SOO3 made runs that excelled 30 tar. gets and failed of 75; 557 shooters gre credited with runs between 75 and 100. and 2S4 made runs over 100, some of them exceeding 200. This shows quality
 The longest run of the 1916 sea son was 2S3, made by Fred Plum, of Atlantic City, N J., at MaplewOod, x. H., on July 4. In this run Plum had a run Of 100 at 2l yards, which makes the performance all the more creditable. The only other amateur Co break more than 200 targets in a straight run was R. D. Morgan, of Washington, D. C. He broke 23S at the Hogans shoot in Atlantic City. Art Killam, of st. Louis, broke 252 straight at La SallC, H., and al- so smashed 379 out Of 9S5 targets during the La Salle shoot. Walter Huff. of Macon. Ga, broke PA tar gets straight at Birmingham, Ala, and pulvcrizcd 5SG out Of 600 tar gets in the four days tourney
 Performances that stand out above all other during the 1916 season are the breakers of 100 targets from 23 yards at Springfield, Mo-, by Charles Young, of Springfield, Ohio, and the flve-man squad record of 497 out of 500 targets at Maplewood by C. H. Newcomb, of Philadelphia; Ralph Sports of New York; Arthur King of Toms River, N. J.,; the lote A. B. Richardson Of Dover, Del, and Fred Plum of Atlantic City. Plum and Sports each smashed 100. The other three missed one target each Class!er performances will be difficult to find.
 Another way to fathom the quality that is now interesting to t-apsh9ot- ing and to prove that .trapshooter5 are becoming more proficient. one has but to look at the State cham. pionship performances, In 1914 two shooters went through with, clear scores of 100. In 1915 three shoot. CTS made clean scores. In 1916 sey- en shooters totalled 100; eight oth- CTS made 99, and eleven others broke 9S. The winning of State championship title takes consider able practice these days

and a. maximum Of Slo 600 90 to
be sold In Liberty Bonds in Tish-

This estimate was made by the
Federal Government on the amount
of money shown by bank deposits,
capital stock, etc., in Tishomingo
County. Our county having on'y
one bank the apportioument was
small, but some people were so
unpatriotic as to say that Tisho-
mingo County would not help the
Government in this great war but.
after few days campaign, and a
few of the people of each place

/ desire IN this connection tC
extend my thanks to the people Of
the entire county for their liberal
support, which shows that the peo-
pie of Tishomingo County can al
ways be relied upon not only to
spend their money to support a
great cause in a crisis like this but
they can also be depended on to
sacrifice their lives, if needs be, in
defense of their common country
1t is true that a great number
of people of Tishomingo County,
as we'll as in other states, have not
realized that their liberty is in
danger, but as soon as they see
the need of their country they are
ready to give their all and to fight
until the Kaiser is dead and a
worldwide peace is made.
In this connection, our friend J
M. Woodruff, of huntsville, de-
serves special mention for his
faithful and patriotic services in
selling Liberty Bonds. On the
day that the campaign closed Mr..
Woodruff came in with $4,000. 90
from the little town of huntsville,
which shows that he had done
some most efficient work and
when the government needs any
thing hereafter in the way of
selling Liberty Bonds or in any
other way that citizens of Burns
vile can help, it is only necessary
to notify ]. M. Woodruff and he
and huntsville will do the rest.
! further desire to thank espe-
cially all the members of the COM
mittee, who were, J. c. Jourdan,
L. T. Gaines, o. c. Moore, T. A.
Clark, N. M Nixon,C. B, Wright,
and DR.. o. B. Bostic, for their
patriotic and faithful service.
The committee as a whole desires
to extend their thanks to Rev. L.
A. McKeown, ]. A. E. Pyle, w.
S. Brown and H. M. Rhine, who
volunteered their services through
spirit of patriotism and helped
their bit" in the campaign for
the Liberty Loan.
Another campaign will b. on
in the near future and the people
of Tlshomingo county will buy
the Bonds.
