THE SOLDIERS PAID OFF

At 9 o'clock yesterday morning every tent at Post Forney was taken down, and in short time thereafter the soldiers were being borne to the city on a special Ensley dummy.
 Army regulations were observed, every stake had been removed and at signal from the bugle every tent fell at the same time.
 The soldiers arrived in the city between Il and 12 o'clock, the local companies go- ing to their armories, where the commando ing officers dismissed them. The Wood- lawn and East Lake compaaies went on 10 their respective homes about noon, and the Bessemer Rifles left on the Bessemer and Birmingham dummy at 9 o'clock. The Woodstock Guards left for Anniston on the Georgia Pacific at 2:55. The Warrior Guards remained h the city until 1:20 o'clock this morning, when they left on the Alabama Great Southern for Tuska- loosa.
 Before leaving Post Forney yesterday morning, the following orders were pub lished:
 HEApQUA RTEEs l
 ALABAMA STATE TROOPS, \
 PosT FoRNEY, June 30, 1894. General Orders No. II.
 lu6 ROfSTboE cAbSuub tu0 lhaukb Oi thS state to the officers and men of the First, Second and Third regiments for the service recently rendered in upholding the laws and dignity of the state. Their exemplary conduct and discipline have increased the regard and affection of the people for that self sacrificing body of citizen soldiery, upon whom in the last resort the state must always rely to uphold and defend it's honor and secure to the people the rich blessings of liberty regulated by law.
 f,,I Iin<< rizo ,, rtxA the wrong done some of these patriotic men, who have rendered rnselfish service and devotion 10 law, by employers, who, safe at home, have discharged them from employ ment.
 Officers will report immediately through. the proper channels to the adju tant- gen erals office every well authenticated case of discharge by an employer of any member of the state troops because of his obedience to orders, giving briefly the circu instances of the case and the name and business of the employer. The press, the friends of the state troops and all lovers of law and order will be appealed to to make their in- tluence felt in favor of those who give enl- pIoyment to the men who have been sacri. feed because they served their state in time of need. The governor does not believe that a grateful people, when the facts are called to their attention, will allow any soldier to suffsr for obedience to her laws.
 By command of the governor.
 JAMES B. ERWIN, First Lieutenant Fourth United States Cav
 airy, Acting Assistant Adjutant- General.
 There is yet some fear of trouble in the district, so it is said, but Governor Jones and Sheriff Morrow believed it unwise to keep the military in camps any longer. If any trouble does occur sufficiently grave to justify the calling out of the military it can be done with but little delay and the ex- pense to the state will be much less than if they were kept here.
 However, as precautionary measure five men will be on duty at each armory at all mounted on their wheels, can notify every member within an hour or such a matter. The men thus on duty at the armories will receive pay for their time.
 Serious trouble, however, is not antici- pated.
 The soldiers were all paid off yesterday for the time they have been in camp as volunteers.
 Governor Jones and Lieutenant Erwin are very enthusiastic over the solderly conduct of the state troops, and especially of those who have been stationed at Ensley City the past eight days. Never before has discipline been so strictly observed in upon their duties as soldiers more will ingly or enthusiastically than did they at Camp and Post Forney.
 The Woodlawn Light Infantry bear the honored distinction of not having aSingle man to get into the guard house iuring vice as volunteers. Captain Parkes is q model commander and he has an excellent company.
 The boys were all glad to return home, but said they would willingly stay II the governor deemed 1t necessary for the en- forcement of the law and the preservation ot peace.
