Montgomery gets the practice en- campment of the 1st Infantry and of the Artillery Battalion. Alabama Na- tional Guard. It maybe said. too. that the cavalry squadron will go into camp here.
 Acting under instructions from the Governor, Adjutant General William w. Brandon yesterday issued orders for encampment of the several divisions Alabama National Guard as follows:
 First Regiment Infantry, Col. R. B. Dumont Mobile, commanding. twelve companies and 600 men and officers, at Pickett Springs. near Montgomery. July IT to 22.

 The 3rd Infantry has already been ordered into camp at Anniston on June IS, for a week. and the 2nd Infantry at Electric Park, near Montgomery July 12, for a week.
 The date and place for the Cavalry Squadron's camp has not yet been nxed but Major V. B. Atkins Of Selma, ana the members of his stan were here yes- terday looking after the camp of that command. The cavalry officers desire the camp to go to Mobile. but if they cannot make satisfactory arrangements there 1t may come here.
 Speaking of the approaching camps and the liability of the State, Adju- tant General Brandon said yesterday;
 T desire to call especial attention to Section 5 of General order No. 10. ana also to the section in a special order which prohibits the making of debts in the name of the State by the va- rious commands.
 There is a certain amount appropri- ated for encampment purposes and this is prorated by the Governor among the various commanding officers of the Ma tional Guard, who shall disburse It. The State is in no wise responsible Tor any debt incurred by any person and all persons must look to the command ing officers of the organizations with written contracts for the payment or all claims.
 "rn the past the once of the Cover nor has been besieged by persons thinking that the State was responsi- ble for these accountsi all persons are warned that the accounts must be col lected through the commanding om- oers making them and neither the State. the Governor nor the Adjutant General are responsible for same"
 Much interest will be manifested Tn the encampment of the 1st Infantry in Montgomery since it has never encamp- ed here. It is commonly known as the Mobile regiment and its summer camps have heretofore been located at either Mobile or some coast point. It Is 0 fine body of soldiers.
 Altogether. about 1.500 soldiers of the Guard will be in Montgomery to par ticipate in the three camps.
 While there is no official announce ment, 1t may be stated that the Cav airy Squadron will go into camp for a week at Pickett Springs on July z4' The order will probably be issued to- day.
