The Whiteville Gun Club. 
Whiteville, Tenn.—The first tournament of the 
Whiteville Gun Club was held Sept. 4, with thirty-two 
contestants present, two of whom, Messrs. Le Compte 
and Plummer, represented the trade. There were 200 
targets on the programme, the Jack Rabbit system 
being used, with the money divided 40, 30 ,t 20 and 10 
per cent. Messrs. Will Parker, M. A. Webb and J. R. 
Tisdale, of the home club, looked after the pleasure of 
the guests, and carried out their part of the programme 
without a balk. 
The office work and “coars hand writing” was at¬ 
tended to by P. B. Plummer, while Mr. C. O. Le 
Compte did the “squaddling” and lent valuable assist¬ 
ance to the management in various ways. 
That there were thirty amateurs present, most of 
whose names are new to trapshooting columns, speaks 
well for the Jack Rabbit system. Every one went away 
well pleased with the day’s sport. 
High average went to Plummer, with 189 out of 200, 
while Le Compte finished a close second with 188 out 
of 200. The high amateur average went to - 1 “Long” 
George Kinney, of Brownsville, Tenn. Mr. Chas. E. 
Cooke and Dr. W. S. Cook, both of Bolivar, Tenn., 
finished second and third, with 167 and 162 respectively. 
The only hard luck story of the day fell to the lot of 
Mr. R. L. Montgomery, of Jackson, Tenn., who had 
the misfortune to develop a serious headache, forcing 
him to discontinue shooting when he was well up in 
the bunch of leading amateurs. Following are the 
scores:
