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.

The Shsw-Ellls Trophy, donated to

ciation by Mrs. Hubert Shaw and Mrs.
Italph Kills, both resident** of Oam?

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

to all amateurs and Is not confined to
residents of South Carolina. Paul

man t<> score a win on the cup. with
his 514 out of 550, which included 25
pairs and 100 singles hi the, handicap

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

lb the motorist
who has quit
tires
ALONG about this time of year a man finds his motor
- ing neighbors getting anxious about their tires.
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. NOBBY TREAD
Where tha going' is specially heavy with snow,
mud or sand, in hilly country where maximum
traction on the road is a factor, no other tira
tread y ?t d svised is quite so affective, or so
wholly approved by motoring opinion, aa tha
U. S. Nobby Tread.
Its very simplicity ? two diagonal rows of ob
long studs, interlocking in their grip on tha road
? is th? result ut all the years of U. S. Rubber ex
