Improye Inc Armory.

The armory of company should be conveniently situated. well ventilated and as comfortably arranged and equipped as possible. It should be made a second home for the men, a genteel loafing place, where the men may congregate for socisl pleasure and profit
 An ideal arrangement would be to fit up an uptodate gymnasium. with shower baths and other accessories, and a nice parlor, reading room and game room, with a porter in constant attendance. This would be an ex- pensive undertaking, but 1t might be modified or even made to pay by the sale of privileges to other than mem bers of the company.
 The idea is to make the armory att tractive to the men, that they may not be so Inclined to find excuses to stay away from 1t. Tho convenience of the men should be looked to also in the way of provisions for the care of the property issued to them. Individ- uaI lockers should be provided, and should be large enough to hold three uniforms hanging up,. the blanket roll made up. and the arms and equipment. These lockers should be securely bolt ed together and locked with non-re- beating pad1ocks

Value of Discipline.

The success of a company and the pleasure and profit of the service to its members depends directly on its discipline. This Is a self-evident fact to any one of experience.
 The commanding officer should spend considerable portion of his time in endeavoring to insure a good condition along this line. He should begin with the recruit and continue his efforts with the soldier throughout his ca-

 Our Military System.
 The military system now in force in Alabama has passed almost entirely from the social to the. military. The national government now regards the National Guard as a most valuable re- serve force, and is supporting and maintaining 1t accordingly. The con- sequence is that much more attention Is being given to military training and the property owner and employer IS becoming much more lenient and toll
 erant towards the organization, real izing its very great value and inesti- niabie importance at the present crisis in our affairs. It becomes us then to charge our officers with a full dis organization of their commands. It Is important to look after all details and the management of company's af- fairs should be strictly according to system. The system adopted should be

 by all concerned in It's application. II
 should be ample but simple. and should check itself from several diff ferent standpoints.
 The necessity of these requirements l is apparent: the military is a side line with thpse charged with the adminis- tration of it's affairs, and is necessarily out of mind the greater part of the time. For this reason memory cannot be depended upon to play its usual part, and something must take it's place. Any failure on the part of any one to perform any part of his work In the routine affairs of company, should
 be readily shown by the system. that it may be attended to by some one else before 1t Is too late.
 The civil and the military should be l kept separate and apart, but the man. agement of each should be part of the general system, Centering as they do according to law. in the officers of the company, they can be very easily kept under observation and made to tally though distinctly separate from each
 ether. The records of the company both civil and military. should always be kept at one and the same place, and should be properly labeled and classi- I fled that they may be readily available and self-evident.

Gunnery Competition.

A London despatch of August IS. says:
 "There Is great interest in naval cir cles in the suggestion of Rear Admiral Bradford, of the United States Navy, for a gunnery competition between picked teams from British and Amer ican battleships. Concerning the selec-, tion of a representative British gum nery team it is pointed out that the Excellent or the Cambridge gunnery schools could easily provide one. Tax en as a whole, the Royal Marine Ar tillery holds the record as having the best heavy gunners in the fleet.
 "In the British navy there is ten dency to discredit somewhat the re- cords of good shooting in the United States Navy. It is rot denied thar there are many good marksmen across the Atlantic but it Is pointed out that the American service target Is consid- erab1y larger than the British. while the Americans do not carry out their shooting on the lines of British battle practice, regardless of weather ana under conditions such as would prevail in war. Running target practice in the American Navy Is carried out in smooth water, rendering 1t much easier 10 score large percentage of hits. Personals.
