CAPT. CARTER RESIGNS
REFUSES TO RECONSIDER HIS REGENT DIFFERENTIATION.
First Lieutenant Joseph Will in Ail Probability Succeed to the Command of the
 0reys.

Captain Harry C. Carter has resigned from the command of the Montgomery Greys, and his resignation has been ac. cepted by Adjutant General Brandon.
 The company is under the temporary command of First Lieutenant E. B. Jo- seph, who has no opposition for Captain in the forthcoming race.
 The action of Captain Carter was not unexpected. In fact he announced to the company threc weeks ago that he intend ed to immediately forward his resigna ton to the Adjuta1t General By the unanimous request of the members of the company. he was prevailed upon to hold up his resignation until after the annual practice camp of the End Regi- ment at Selma.
 He was urged to withdraw his resig- nation. but this he declined to do.
 Soon after the company's return from Selma, Captain Carter forwarded his res ignation to Colonel Brandon.
 Captain Carter's reason for severinS his connection with the Greys was en- tirely business one. The duties of the commanding officer of the company made too many demands upon his time
 He has made a capable and energetic commanding officer. and under his charge the Greys have maintained their old time efficiency. He stands high in the esteem and affection Of the men of the company as their unanimous request for him to retain the command of the company shows.
 Captain Carter saw active service in the Spanish-American war, and he has been connected with the Alabama Ma tional Guard for ten years.
 He is engaged in the cotton business in this city, being connected with one of the largest cotton shipping firms of Mont gomery.
 When he first announced his intention of resigning from the company. Captain Carter strongly recommended to the Greys the election of First Lieutenant E. B. Joseph, Jr.. for the Captaincy. He highly praised Lieutenant Joseph's ef- ficIency and ability and said the conn pany would make no mistake in making him it's commanding officer.
 It Is understood that Second Lieutenant Hunt Taylor will be promoted to First Lieutenant without opposition.
 For the Second Lieutenancy five names are mentioned. The five non-commission- ed officers of the company are said to be nspirants for the coveted shoulder straps. They are Messrs. Ray Wilkerson. Jeff Bayne, Ray Jones. Frank Elmore and R. s. Finch. The race for the Second Lieu tenancy promises to be a warm contest
 Colonel Brandon Is attending the cav airy encampment at Birmingham and no order for the election in the Greys has been issued.

INQUIRY NEXT WEEK
QUICK ACTION LIKELY IN SELMA GUARDS TROUBLE.
Court Likly to B Convnd in Selma Very Soon and Entire Affair Probsd to the Bot
 tom.

It Is now almost certain that the prob ing of the Selma Guards, trouble will take place very soon probably next week. Col. E. H. Graves. commanding the End. was in Montgomery last night, en route to Birmingham. On business thip. He stated that the trouble In the Guards. the
 charges and counter charges made by the officers and men. would be probed to the bottom.
 During his stay in Montgomery Colonel Graves was in conference with Lieuten- ant Colonel II. B. May. Major Charles R. Bricken.- Captain E. r. Bsber and other officers of the End Regiment and the action or the Selma company in leaving camp and the dlssension between the officers and the men were discussed. There is a strong opinion in local infii- tary circles that a regimental court of inquiry will be ordered from the Adja- tant Generals once upon the request of Colonel Graves. This court is to be charged with the duty of thoroughly probing the Selma trouble. The court. after investigating. wiI probably make a recommendation as to
 a settlement of. the trouble in the Guards. The court Is likely to fix the
 blame and may or may not recommend the discharge of the men or the mus terine out of the company. The personnel Of the proposed court was discussed last night by local mili- tary men. aad predictions as to it's make up were made. 1t was said that tho court would probably consist of Major Charles
 R. Bricken of the 1st Battalion, Capt.
 E. F. Baber of the Montgomery Blues and
 Capt. Frank s. Austin of the Wetumplxa company, with Lieut.. Col. H. B. May
 acting as Judge Advocate.
 The local officers named in connection
 with the proposed court neither confirmed or denied the report that court would be ordered, and that they would serve upon it.
 Colonel Graves made no statement con corning the court, nor did he add any thing to his previous statement that the
 Selma Guards trouble would be thor oughly investigated. E The court, if it Is ordered, will be held
 without expense to the State. The ofii- cers composing the court will serve with out pay. The sitting of the court will be
 held in Selma, and they are expected ta
 be few in number. The necessary ex-
 penses Of the members Of the court win
 be paid from the regimental fund of the
 End.
 The court, if 1t meets in Selma, win
 summon before 1t all the officers and all
 the men of the Selma Guards. and hear
 every members statement as to the
 charge by the officers that the men were insubordinate and the charges of the men
 that the officers were unjust and negii-i
 gent
 Local military men expect the order for the rcglmental court of inquiry within the next two or three days
