TYING CAMP INTO SHAPE

Selma, July 6--(Special. )-Maj. V. B. Att hns of the First Alabama squadron of cavalry has appointed Sergeant Major Henry Franelich as inspector of rifle prac- t!ce on his staff. The appointment of the new officer was made necessary by the recent appropriation made by Con gress for this particular branch of prac- tlee among the National Guard. Today Captain Franelich of the cavalry and Capt. H. B. Peacock of OpelilSa, inspec- tor of rife practice of the Second Ala bama infantry selected a splendid rife range to be used by the infantry and cavalry during the encampment of the two arms of the service. The ranges are about a half mile east of the site for the camp and near the old breast works which were thrown up by the defenders of Selma in the memorable battle of April 2, 1865. It is declared to be an ideal spot for rifle range and entirely away from the track of pedestrians or others who might become injured through stray shots. Tn locating the range Captains Peacock and Franelich had the assistance of Ser geant R. L. Jenkins. assistant instruc- tor of the guard of the Second infantry.
 Under the direction of Colonel Bricken, Capt. Hunt Taylor, commissary and Capt. Frank Taylor, quartermaster, over half of the tents for the housing of the Sec ond regiment are up this evening. There will not be regimental mess as has been the custom heretofore in Selma, but each company will have separate mess. The regimental officers and non-commissioned officers will also have separate mess. The location for the camp Is declared by all to be ideal. Plenty of water from the big overflow well has been piped into the quarters and every convenience has been looked after The soldier boys of both the infantry and the cavalry will find upon coming to Selma the most ideal spot ever hit upon for an encampment.
