No definite news is yet avail
able as to Chesterfield county'S
chances of getting the rifle and
artillery range we have heard so
mucl about. The matter is in
the hands of the governmental
authorities, and the final dicis
ion will probably not be made
until after October 1st. A num-
Der of the possible sites have
been weeded out, and Chester
field is still IN the list, and it is
believed that our chances are
good. Fayetteville, N G. is still
in the race, but the site in
this county is probably the best
in number of respects. Mr.. G..
w. Duvall went to charleston
yesterday to do what he could,
and no stone is being left un-
turned.
