gTHsr INFANTRY WILL PRAcTICn
 AT MONTGOMERY.
Second Regiment wil Pitch Their Tenfs At ElkAale Park Near aelAa, While Third Gees to
 Hunfsville.

Formal orders for the practice camps of the three infantry regiments or the Alabama National Guards were is- sued yesterday from the office of Adju4 tant General Btbb Graves. The order for the encampment of the First Squad ron of Alabama Cavalry is held up pending a definite settlement of the question of place.
 Each of the three infantry regiments has been intimated before the 1st In- fantry will camp in Montgomery as 1t has don efor the past two years. This regiment Is composed of companies, the home stations of which are in the Southern portion of the State and 1t Is commanded by Col. R. B. DuMont, of Mobile. The camp of the regiment will be located at Pickett Springs.
 The 2nd Infantry will go into camp at Selma and Col. c. R. Bricken, com manding, expects to carry into camp. TOO men, which will be larger num- Der than was ever before taken into camp by one branch of the National Guard of the State. The 2nd will pitch camp at Elkdale Park in the suburbs of selma July 22. for its week of practice work, . the 3rd Infantry, has selected Hunts-
 
 his regiment. The 3rd will be the first of the regiments to go into camp as its first day vii be July IT. The site of the camp of the Srd is in the suburbs of Huntsville. The time of the Alabama soldiers has been but slightly shortened, because of the act of tho legislature which pre- vents the railroads from giving the usual rate of one cent a mile for the 1 f0 Qtnnnaad that the extra $5,000 provided by the Legislature which might be used eitn- CT for rifle practice or to increase the usual encampmnt fund, has been set aside to piece out the camp money. The trouble grew out of the fact that one of the stringent anti-railroad laws was so tightly drawn that the railroad men could not make the usual special rate to the soldiers without laying them selves liable to heavy fino.
 The general order for the practice camps follows'
