TO GO TO MANASSAS
CAPTAIN BABER WILL COMMAND A
 COMPANY.
An Organization Will Be Formed of Montgomery Young Men to Participate in the yir-
 ginia Man0euvres.

A military company commanded by Capt. E. F. Baber, of the Montgom- cry Blues, and composed of young men from Middle Alabama, will take part in the army manoeuvres in September at Manassas. Va.
 The company will be g. part of the Ala bal ma regiment which will go to the Manassas manoeuvres. Alabama's quo- ta for these operations is 916 men. It is understood that the regiment will be commanded by Gen. w. W. Brandon. The regiment will be made up of men from all portions of the State and be- longing to different military commands. It was impracticable for any one of the three regiments to go to Virginia as body in September. At that time of the year as the cotton and the bus mess season has opened in Alabama it Is difficult for the men to get away from their business
 The fact that provisional regiment will be sent to Virginia has been an- nounced and in various cities efforts are making to get together companies for the regiment
 Captain Bahers company will be based upon a nucleus of twenty-five or thirty members of the Blues. Members of the other military companies Of the city will be invited to go along and from some of the small towns abou; Montgomery small detachmen.s are ex- pected. It Is thought that a number of the military men of Selma will come over and unite with the Montgomery company Captain Baber expects to carry a company of between eighty and ninety men.
 The State Military Board will meet at the Capitol today when 1t is thought the chief topic of consideration will be the organization of the provisional reg iment for Manassas.

BRANDON WILL COMMAND,
Adjutant General to Head Provisional
 Regiment.

hNCshhents
 Ad5utant General Brandon of the Alabama National Guard has reported to General Corbin that he will raise provisional regiment of S60 enlisted men and sixty officers to go to the Ma nassas Manenvers. He also asked that a number of officers be placed in any position in order that they may get the benefit of the instruction and bet ter fit themselves for the discharge of their duties.
 It Is understood that General Bran- don is to be the Colonel of the provis. ional regiment and that he will have the selection of the officers under him.
 The competition for the various pos- ttions is sharp and spirited and the of- ficers are be be selected upon their merit and term of service. Alabama will have crack regiment in the ma. neuvers.
 September 5. is the date of beginning and the soldiers will have to leave the State about September 3rd
 By that time the Alabama National Guard will have the full continent of the regular army and will have the regular dress and service uniforms, both of which they will have use for in this service.
 General Brandon is expected in Montgomery today when the prelimi- nary arrangements will be made and the formation of the regiment be rarkd- ly pushed. It is thought that the qoto allotted to Alabama can be easily raised, in which event General Bran don las assurance from Major General Corbin commanding the department of he East that he will be able to care for them.
