COL. WlLEYS GOOD WORK

aIIernOOn.
 He found the regiment in good condition and the men excellently drilled. Colonel Wiley has maintained excellent discipline in camp, and has required the men to drill regularly and to conform to military regu- lations. As the commanding officer of the camp, he has displayed those qualities that make men fear, yet love him. His services in the United States army In Cuba when enlistment meant more than to go on pa- rade and police the camp, and his connee- tion with the Alabama soldiery in other days gave him experience which he has made use of at Camp Lawton. The condi- tion and department of the men attest his experience, his capacity and his discipline Splendid Appearance The regiment as it marched in column of companies before the reviewing officer presented splendid appearance, and elicit ed the applause of the spectators.
 Crowded along the line of march through the length of the parade ground were two or three thousand persons, mostly women, who eagerly watched the soldiers as they marched In solemn tread to the inspiring music of Memolfs band.
 Every company had its admirers, and was heartily cheered by them it passed in review.
 Governor Horseback Governor Johnston and his staff mounted on splendid chargers, had positions near the flag staff, from the top of which float ed large American flag. From the smile of satisfaction that played upon the Gov ernors face as the soldiers passed before him, it was evident he was pleased with their appearance, and so he was. Subsequently, he compimented Colonel Wiley on the excellence of his regiment. Governor Johnston and his staff went to East Lake on electric car, arriving there about o'clock. They were met at the station by a detachment of infantry detailed by Colonel Wiley as an escort, and by Troop D. Lieutenant McCrossin com manding. Mounts were in waiting for them, and immediately on alighting from the car they started for camp, quarter of a mile distant preceded by Memolis Band, Troop D and the infantry escort. As the Governors party crossed the guafd lines the band struck up Dixie" to which the soldiers responded with mighty yell that died out only when the buglers sounded assembly"
 Received by Colonel Wiley Governor Johnston dismounted in front of regimental headquarters and was greet ed by Colonel Wiley. Introductions fol- lowed and then the companies were or dered to form on the parade grounds for the review
