ANNISTON RAISES
 4 VIGOROUS KICK
Military Companies of Second
 Battalion Want to Wait
ENCAMPMENT IS TOO EARLY
Soldiers Want to Go to chiokamauss If Possible and Take Their Chances With the Rest-Protest
 Made Governor.


 Admission, May 19.-(speeial,)- mili- tary companies of Anniston and Oxford are strongly opposed to going into camp at Montgomery early in June. and are very indignant over the action taken at Montgomery.
 After receiving the information through press dispatches that the Third infantry would probably go into camp at Mont gomery, and that the other troops in the state would be allowed to make an ef- fort to go to Chlckamanga the officers of the Anniston and Oxford companies held a meeting, and wired Governor Jelks and Colonel Mcconnell vigorous protests against the time and place as stated and expressing a wish to be allowed, if pos sible, to go to Chiekamauga later in the summer.
 One of the officers who attended the meeting said tonight, Without wishing to criticize the officers of the Third in- fantry who attended the conference at Montgomery and stated. according to the report, that the Third infantry did not want to go into camp at Chickamauga, I wish to state that as far as the Second battalion Is concerned, they were very badly mistaken. During the inspection of this battalion last week by Captain John ston, U. S. A, and Coionei Brandon, A. N. G., vote was taken at the close of the inspection at Anniston, Oxford, Gads- den and Talladega, and 1t was without exception unanimous for a brigade at Chlckamauga.
 "rhe time selected Is too early when you consider the fact that al. the com panies have recently recruited to thei- full strength so as to De et,le to meet the requirements of the Dick bill and these men are not equipped. Give time for all companies to be Inspected and receive the needed equipment which Captain John ston said he hoped to have for us in thirty or forty days and the encamr- ment will be the largest and best ever held in the state.
 "We are not opposed to going into camp amauga but we want to have the same state. We want to wait with them until it Is definitely settled and the companies fully equipped under the Dick bill and then we can have an encampment credi- table to the National Guard"
 Telegrams from Governor Jelks were re- ceived this afternoon by Major J. l.. Daniels and Captain Smith of Company I at Oxford, who is secretary of the Of- ficers' club of the Second battalion, sug gesting that they take the matter up with Colonel Mcconnell which has been done.
