Weaver prefers to succeed Judge | Greene by appointment and not take | chances on being busted by constitutional l flaws in the Lusk bill. As judge of tha criminal court he would be out of danger of constitutional complications and would not again be deprived of an office to which he was nominated.
 Mr. Johns Friends.
 The friends of Mir. John say that in view of MT. Viewers position and his en4 dorsement by the bar for the appointment to the vacancy to be caused by Judge Greenes resignation they are giving him their hearty support. They believe that MT. John would make an exccellent judge, being close student of law and a man of all the qualities necessary for the exalted position of the bench. q have not closely studied the Lusls bill" said E. K Campbell last night, and I am not prepared to offer an opinion as to it's constitutionaity at this time. It seems to be the general opinion that if MT. Weaver should desire the nomination as circuit judge he would have the en- dorsement of the bar and people, but aa he does not we will support him for ap- polntment to succeed Judge Greene and will give MT. John our support for tha nomination as judge of the Tenth judiciaF circuit as provided for in the Lusk bille

John is eminently fitted Tor the plaee and I believe will be nominated without opposition.
 Judge Coleman Not Affected.
 The friends of Mir. John say that his candidacy will In no way affect the nomi- nation of Judge A. A. Coleman, who is at present judge of the circuit. It is the ad- ditonal or associate Judgeship that MT. John Is seeking and his supporters say that he can is no way be considered an opponent of Judge Coleman.
 When told of MT. Johns announcement Judge Coleman was very much interested in the legal phases of the case. "I knew of the provisions In the Isusk bil" he said, "and they have come in well in view of the invalidity of the consolidated court law as decided by the supreme court. If the Isusk bill should be declared unconstitutional as some seem to think 1t will, the only effect this circuit would be to let my court remain as 1t Is | nder the present law.

 Break Camp Tomorrow.

This will be one of the most important days of the entire encampment of the Alabama national guard. It is required by the Dick law that every soldier in camp shall sign the pay roll in order to receive the government appropriation, and unless this is done the proportionate amount for the soldier not signing will not be paid.
 The soldiers will be expected to com mence signing these pay rolls this morn- ing, and the instructions are that every week shall be present and attach his name to the roll. All the men in the out of town companies are expected to be In camp, but a special order has been issued to the members of the Jefferson Yolun- teers. the Birmingham Rifles. Company c, Troop D and the Brandon Light artillerly to report before o'clock for the pur- pose of signing.
 The consolidated morning reports con- corning the number of men in camp each day will be used by the United States officers detailed to attend this encamp- ment in making out their reports to the government paymaster. and the number of signatures is expected to tally.
 Two Thousand Men.
 The reports made each morning show that not less than 2OOO men are in camp regularly every day. On some mornings the number has run higher than that. The average has been about 21O0.
 Yesterday the representatives of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company were in camp making the neces-

sary arrangements for transporting the troops and the supplies to the railroad station when camp breaks. They obtain ed an estimate of the number of cars needed for the men an1 also for the supplies.
 Every preparation will be made to get the troops to the station as quickly and with as little trouble as possible. The facilities for transportation when the troops came were considered excellent and not a single company was delayed.

Hopeful View.

Should the miners hold out on their scale proposition for a 471a minimum and 57h maximum. the result viii probably be a strike. But several operators take hopeful view and think that an agree ment will be reached before the conven- ton adjourns.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-07-24
Break camp Monday.

The exact time for breaking camp has mt heen determined. It will depend on when the signing of the pay rolls is com- pleted. It is probable that the last com pany will break camp about 6 o'clock to- morrow afternoon.
 The last dress parade will be held this afternoon at 5:3O and it is expected that the largest crowd of the entire encamp- ment will be present.
 As the encampment draws to a close, the officers on the brigadier generals B staff, the governor and his staff, and in fact all the officers in the encampment, are commenting upon the excellent be- havior of the men. It has been the best encampment in every way that the Ma tional Guard of Alabama has ever held, and 1t is believed that more actual in- struction has been received than In any previous camp. The number of men in the guardhouse for the entire brigaue has been lower than the number in the guardhouse for single regiments in the past.

 PAUL JONES,
 Adjutant. And General Orders No. 3 read as fol- , lows:
 The commandant congratulates the Mury Hill Cadets on the orderly and sober condition in which they reached camp. It is with great pleasure that he points to the fact that fully one-thrd of the members In this command reached here sober, and there were less than a dozen fights on the train while en route to camp. When compared with the form CT record of the organization this Is a gratifying improvement.
 No. says "The commandant notes with disapproval the tendencies of the members of this command to pay more attention to their toilet. and personal ap- pearance, than to their military duties. Many of tho officers and men have in their quarters extensive supplies of purple and fine linen, white collars, face powder, hair paste, perfumery, etc. This will posi- lively not be tolerated. The commanding officer desires to notify all officers and men that from this time on every mans wardrobe will be rgidly limited to one pair of socks and one quart of whskey." General order No. touches on an i'm portant law question, that of when a man is drunk. This means a great deal to the members of the cadets, as it is a point often at issue It says:
