OUR RALEIGH LETTER

Raleigh, Aug. 24-It is becom-
ing evident that the newly enfran-
chised women voters of North Car
olina (by gift Of Tennessee if the
courts do not upset that state s
action by one majority in the
House) are to have their radicals,
who will try to force their extreme
views and become "leaders Of
the womenn in N. G.. politics. Its
a bad sign and the conservat tive
women should take steps to hold
the radical would-be "leaders' in
check.
The alleged "binlegueao' and
;so-called mock legislature" stunt
pulled off at a Raleigh hotel did
the women engaged in it little
credit and may prejudice many
against them at the very outset of
the voting course:
Mrs. T. Palmer Jerman camp
i aign chairman Of the late state
suffrage organization to secure
the passage of tho Anthony amen
dment by the N. c. legislature,
was sponsor Of the affairs it is
understood in face Of the fact that
she and her campaign associates
had been defeated so badly in the
House (71 to 4D two days before,
and before it is positive that the
Tennessee action will hold, and
therefore prior to the actual en-
franchisement Of women in n. G..
by the vote Of Tenn. Some So
called "squaw-men" who helped
the indecent affairs along are
equally to blame.

in New Haven, and since that day has
had an average attendance of more than
1900 at the daily exhibitions.
Those who understand firearms and
shooting know well how difficult some of
the feats were, and those who witnessed
the exhibition without any knowledge of
firearms have a greater knowledge today
One could not go to such an exhibition as
was given yesterday without having a de-
sire to shoot at targets or go into the
field for game
The idea of this trip by the Winches-
ter shooting team is to promote a greater
interest in shooting of all kinds and the
trip is being made at the request of the
gun clubs in the various New England
towns and cities.
The first event on the program pleased
the younger people very much and gave
an idea of how rifle shooting events are
conducted. Virgil Richard, the boy
champion rife shot, with a Winchester
bolt action magazine rife equipped with
Winchester telescope, shot at targets
placed % feet and 300 feet and on the
13-foOt target scored 40 out of 80 and on
the 3OO-fOot target he made 46 out of 80.
Richard is the first rife shot to make a
perfect score at 100 yards in the United
States. He did this at Tenahy, n. J.,
July 1, when he won the small bore cham
pionship of America Later he made a
perfect score at Camp Perry in the ma
tional matches. He is but 10 wears of age
and a product of the Winchester iunio4,
rifle corps and the son of Cant. w. III.
Richard, one of the best rife shots in the
world.
The rife exhibition was followed with

HIGH SCHOOL PLAYS
IN KEENE TOMORROW
Large Crowd from Here Probably viii
Attend--Keene High Has Fastest
Team in Schools History

Interest in the football game between
the Brattleboro high school and Keene,
to be played tomorrow at keene has been
increasing as the day of the game ap-
proaches, and a big crowd from here
doubtless viii see the game.
Coach Holbrook of Keene states that
his team is the strongest and fastest ag-
gregation that ever represented Keene
high, and the beating which Bellows
Falls high suffered at their hands last
Saturday (40 to o. would tend to prove
his statement.
While the practice sessions of the
Brattleboro high team have been some
what broken this week on account of the
fair there need be no fear but that the
bows will give a good account of them
selves. From the record of both teams
to date it should be a game well worth
the trip.
The game will be called at . p. m,
standard (our) time, on the Baker street
grounds.

other Westminster resident that q Ford
machine had been standing beside the
road half way between Westminster
street and Westminster Station to the
north. having been left there during Tues
day night. 1t bore the number 29,326.
MIR. Wright looked in the Vermont auto
registry book, but the numbers in.
the book did not run as high as that
Then he telephoned to the office of the
secretary of state in Montpelier and
found that the car was registered under
Mr.. Fitts's name
Mr.. Wright then called Mr.. Fits and
was told that the car was supposed to be
in the BrattleborO garage, but that he
would investigate. Inquiry at the garage
brought the information at first that the
car was in the garage, but little investi-
CATION there revealed the fact that the
car was missing.
Mr.. Fits and Mr.. Smith of the garage
went at once to Westminster and identi-
fed the machine, and Mr. Fits drove it
home, as it was not damaged and had an
ample supply of gasoline. The machine
had been left in the grass about six feet
from the roadway.
