Notwithstanding the fact that the pro- ; ?am for the 1921 tournament of the >uth Carolina Trapshooting Associa on was a npeclfllly attractive one, >th in the way of trophies and ad- 1 Ki rash prizes, the attendance on the tree days of the shoot, April 11, 12, ?d 1.*?. wns not up to the mark, and Ttainlv not what the manacement of it State Association and the Camden i Duntry Cli*b deserved as a reward r their labor. About sixty different tate<stants took part in the events on ie protrram. trade conditions general-; and the extremely severe and sud fn oold spell which struck South irolina the afternoon of the 10th. all ? cofitributcd to keeping tlvc tendance down to the above mark, i was a delightfully warm and bright mshlny day on the 13th. but by that me nil the mischief had been done. Of course Paul R. Earle .of Starr, rrled^off the highest honors, retris fine as state champion at singles for; e third year in succession His *core l?r> out of 200 targets In that race I" just about good enough to win in >y company, especially as conditions. fr?T>t on the la at day, were such as lied for skill of the highest degree.; Is acore of OS out "0# 100 In the first ] I half of the championship race on April 12, the second day of the shoot, was much more than one target better than his score 6t 97 out of 100 In the second half of the contest. In addition to his win of the singles championship he annexed the State doubles champion ship with 41 breaks out of his 25 pairs. Earle. however, cannot sit still and count on repeating next year without some serious effort on his part. In M. Jj. ("Buck") Smith. Jr., of Camden, a new face in registered target circles and a new man at the traps promises to make things warm for Earle in fu ture years. Ills 95 and 90 in the two [ halves of the Championship ruco nt singles, and his score of 40 out of his 25 pairs In the double championship, all show that new as he is to the game he can point his gun Just about right. In the womens* championship there was a tight race between Mrs. Ralph Ellis and Mrs. Robert Shaw. Mrs. El lis landing first honors with 149 to 146. On the 400 single targets on the pro gram, however, Mrs. Shaw just beat out the champion by one target, hav ing broken 144 out of the 206 on the first day's program to Mrs. Ellis' 137. The State Handicap event on the last afternoon brought J. II. Staples, of Charleston, S. C., to the front so far as South Carolina was concerned, as by breaking 93 from 20 yards he landed the A. T. A. medal- J. H. Coth ran, secretary of the Atlanta, Oa.. Gun Club, broke 94 from 19 yards, but being a non-resident of the State of South Carolina was not eligible for htc trophy. Staples also had the honor of giving Earle quite a run for the State All j round Championship title, as his total ; was 507 to 514 for Earle. The above ; were their respective errand totals on all program targets. 400 single 16 ynrd targets. 100 hnndlcap and 25 paint, or 550 all told. ?!> a jrl Tt'Ag /V?

The Shsw-Ellls Trophy, donated to the South Carolina Trapnhootlng Asso ciation by Mrs. Hubert Shaw and Mrs. Italph Kills, both resident** of Oam? den, and both of them devoted to the trqpshooting game, is a beautiful tro phy Rome what on the order of the Columbus. Ga., Cup. The contestant who at euch annual state tournament Is high overj all on the program tar gets geta a leg on the ohp, and when ho has threo legs, then the trophy be comes his own. This content is o|>en to all amateurs and Is not confined to residents of South Carolina. Paul Marie, as Is only proper, Is the first man t<> score a win on the cup. with his 514 out of 550, which included 25 pairs and 100 singles hi the, handicap from 'J2 yards. Annual Meeting Held. 'Tho annual meeting of Hie South Carolina Trapshootlng Association was held Tuesday evening the second day of the shoot, at The Kirkwood. with U. U. llrooks, of Columbia, in the chair. The election of officers for the com ing year, resulted in the re-elecjilon of Mr. Brooks. The secretary, R C. Du Pre, also comes from Columbia. lie takes the place of J. B. Murphy who has done well by the association, but pleaded inability to devoto sufficient time to the Interests of tho organiza tion. II. It. Brooks was elected as state delegate to the Zone Meeting at Atlanta in June, with "Isaac Andrews of Spartanburg as alternate. At the request of Mr. Krumbholz, president of the Camden Country Clvt>? action in the matter of naming place and date* for the tournament In IV22 was postponed for thirty days The matter left in the hand* of a committee ?f three to eoufer with Mr. Ktuwbhol*, the committee named by the president being,* Isaac Andrews, i\ It. karlc and J. II. Staples* the provident, of course, acting with tho committee as an ex-officio mom^r. The t rophles put up aa. prlaes h y the Oamden Country Club were beautlew, and nothing tut sterling silver went. The prites. too, were numerous enough to give all a chance to take something home. Theu. too. the optional* paid well ou the old percentage system. For Instance the 18 out of 20 In the first ten pair* In the doubles championship was in first place ulone and paid $40.KO to J. IT. Staples. Hut tho surprise of all was the which (*. I). Williams of Miami, Ma., ix>oketod a? a reward for his 'JO straight In the second even t on the third day. Walter Huff and E. K Moss, who also broke their 20 targets could only lick their lips be cause being In the professional class, they were numbered among the Inell glbles. As for all the arrangements for the comfort of the shooters, and the suc cess of the shoot, ample provision had been made to take care of a good ?rowd, Buffalo Smith has had enough experience in making preparations of this nature, ami he had an efficient1 corps of referees, .pullers and trappers under his direction. In fact, so far as that blanch of the trapshootlng service was concerned, It would have been hard to find any fault. Tho traps worked well, and when weather conditions wpre favorable, good scores were a natural result, When, as hap pened during the first half of the tournament. Monday and up to noon :? Tuosdfiy, the wind was tricky artd the light very varied, it was sporty shooting, but (lie scores made by the contestants ruled low. Tho cashier's office was in charge of I/uther Squire of Cincinnati, a real old war-horse at the game, one who can handle a large or small crowd with equal facility. Mr. Squire took ?are of the cashier's office at lMne hurst, N. C-., where the North Caro lina State shoot scheduled for the 'Jlst 2!2ud u ml 23rd. The official score follows: I* U Otte. Jr 161 ...

With folks expecting - old tires to ''pop" any minute, there comes the question of what kind of new ones to buy. U. S. Tires are answering a lot of questions like this nowadays. * * . * ' i The U. S. Tire following embraces two kinds of tire buyers. Those who started with quality first, and have never bought anything else but the quality standard tirt. Those who came to quality first only after dabbling with "bargains," "rebates," "job lot" and *' 'surplus stock" tires. * * * Getting one hundred cents value on the dollar in tire ?;r>g is a straight-forward business proposition ? not .. ,a-work or a game of wits. The most essential man for you to know today is the local U. S. Tire dealer who is concentrating on a full, completely sized line of U. S. Tires. He p.ets his TJ. S. Tires straight from his neighboring U. S. Tire Factory Branch ? one of 92 such Branches established and maintained all over the country by the U. S. T^ire makers. * ? & * He is the man who can give you fresh, live tires? not stuff shipped, co him from some point where it did not sell, but new tires of current production. * Giving the same quality.selection and price-advantags to the owner of the medium weight car as the big car owner gets. With equal service and buying opportunity whether he lives in the smaller localities or the greater aenters of population. THE u: S.
