The End Alabama regiment will leave for camp in Selma today. It is com posed of twelve companies. located in the middle portion of the State mainly. viz: Company A at Montgomery; B at Birmingham; at Selma; D at Mont gomery: at Union Springs; F at Tus- caloosa; G at Eufaula; H at opelika; I at Luverne; K at Tuskegee; L at Gi- rard; M at Demopolis. The regi- ment is commanded by Colonel c. R. Brickan, with the following field off cers: It. Colonel J. E. Carter Selma ; Majors c. O. DickeY, Luverne; r.. F. Baber. Jr., Montgomery; Carl H. Seals, Birmingham.
 The regiment is thoroughly organ fged, well equipped and will make a splendid showing in camp. Colonel Bricken has spent every cent of his pro rata of the government appropria- ton for equipment and his regiment will make a fine appearance iI camp.

the officers and men are to be paid the same per diem as is paid to tho offers and men of the regular army and through this means there will be more than three thousand dollars distributed and spent in Selma besides the eX- penses of the camp, which are borne by the State.
 Thursday Is to be Governors day and will be a memorable occasion of the week On that day the governor and etaff will review the regiment and in their gorgeous and brilliant uniforms 2 great display will be made.
 Colonel Brlcken has taken every pre- caution to preserve order and it will not be his fault if he does nat have a model cahnp.
 The regiment has its full complement of officers. all of whom are efficient and enthusiastic and the promise Is for a better showing'for the organization than any made for years. Colonel Bricken has given much of his time and talent to the affairs of the organization since his election 10 its command and he has brought it up to the very highest de- gree of discipline and efficiency.
 There are no more thoroughly or ganized or efficient soldiers in all the Alabama National Guard than are to be found in the different units of this command and as whole 1t stands sec ond to none in the Alabama military establishment Its record in camp will compare favoEably with any, even with that of the first, which goes in with the regulars at Chickamauga, and that is saying a great deal for no other militia organization will make any bet l ter or more creditable showing along with the regulars, than will the 1st Alabama.
 Captain H. B. Peacock, the Inspector of Rifle Practice is doing everything possible to have a creditahle company range for rifle practice at Selma and in conjunction with the cavalry the range should be all that Is required and the rifle shooting most satisfactory. The record made at these camps will determine whether or not the respec- tive organizations are to have rep | resentation on the team for Sea Girt

These figures do not include S,029 enlisted men of the hospital corps; there were also in the service twenty-five officers and 552 enlisted men in the Porto Rico regiment, and 115 officers and 5,059 enlisted Philip pine Scouts. a net increase of seven in the Porto Rico regiment and of 1,096 in the Philippine Scouts.
