Selma, Oct. 8.
 Hon. W, B. Craig last night resigned the captaincy of the Abbott Rifles, officially known as Co., C., End regiment, A. N. C.. His successor will be chosen at an elec- ton to be ordered by Ad1utant-General w, W. Brandon, and until the election, First Lieutenant W. F. Aycock will com Cabtain Craig resigned because he will 1soon move from Selma to Birmingham to practice law. He has been In command of the company since It's organization, In April and much of the success attained by the Rifles Is attributable to his zeal and ability.
 The following letter was written to the company by Captain Craig:
 '"To the officers and Members of Co c.
 2nd Reg, A. N. G.:
 "Gentlemen--It has become necessary for me to tender to you my resignation as captain of this company do 1t with ex- treme reluctance, for can frankly say that no organization has ever commando ed my effection and interest to the same extent as the Abbott Rifles. In leaving you, it might not be amiss to say some thing of what is expected of you by the neonla ana inc State. Tn the short space of six months you have made record of which the oldest company in the State might well be proud to boast. You have set the pace that bids fair to put Ala bama's National Guard high in the list of States. Your efficiency and discipline has been recognized officially by your colonel, the Adjutant-General and the Governor of the State; and do not think that l overstep the bounds of propriety when I say that in my opinion, your good conduct and discipline had much to do with making the recent encampment at Montgomery the model that it was. You have therefore. record to sustain; and feel no hesitancy in saying that the peraonnei and manhood of this company is of such a quality that confidently expect this record to Joe sustained and new laurels to be added every year to your good name.
 f. Tt rests with the men as to what the company will be. It is impossible for an officer to do anything whatever unless his men stand by him, are loyal to him and give him their hearty support in every undertaking of the company. It Is be- cause of your loyalty to your officers that the company stands where 1t does today: and unless you continue to stick to them and keep up your interest in the organization, you cannot expect to suc- ceed. no matter who they may be. The people of your county believe in you, and the military department of the State ex- poets you to keep up the pace you have set.
 ..It is with deep regret that leave you. I feel that every man in the company is

case were 10 be found. It appears thar
when the iurymen learned they were TO

II can only account for it on the
ground that they fear they may meet

to signify the inauguration of a strong
