Spent Ten Days in Camp in Mimic Warfare With Regulars and South Caroline lnfautrymen to Great Ad-

After ten days of maneuvres. pronounced to have been highly beneficial, the first battalion of Artillery. Alabama National Guard returned 10 Montgomery yesterday morning from Fort Moultrie. Sullivan's Isl and s. C.
 'I would not take anything for tho trip said Major s. T. Westcott yesterday, T have been a member of the National Guard now nearly twenty-four years and never before have we had such a fine encampment The men were given the opportunity of coming in contact with and learning how to mantp- uate the latest guns used in actual war fare.
 The men were drilled to handle the great ten-inch disappearing guns, and the huge mortar guns besides rapid fire guns and others of the latest and most improved pat tern. Before We left camp the boys of the Birmingham battery could manipulate the rapid fire guns almost fast as the reg ulars and they received quite a compliment from the regulars themselves.
 But the most interesting part of the maneuvres was the mimic warfare. which was very nearly like an actual engagement. The government had boats which were used to represent war vessels and our movements of such nature that we really at times would think we were In fight to keep the foreigners from landing. This part of the maneuvres invaluable.
 ''We also had great deal of gun practice shooting at targets. Of course. We did not use the real thing in the big guns. as 1t would hava been too expensive. costing about 3I,o0o for each shot. but improvised pro1ectiles were substituted that we got the practice"
 The Alabama artillery battalion left Mont gomery July 4th, and remained in camp at Fort Moultrie until early Monday afternoon when the boys went to Charleston and boarded a special teain for Montgomery reaching here over the Atlanta and West Point Railroad at 10 o'clock yesterday morn ing.
 In the battalion were four batteries. one each from Mobile Birmin sham, Selma ana Montgomery. and containing 236 men in all. which was regarded as exceptionally large. In camp with the battalion was . South Carolina infantry regiment and the regular soldiers at Fort Moultrie
 Major westcott displayed wisdom TOT the comfort of his men when he ordered Z2o mosouito nets just before he left Montsom- cry for encampment. He says the nets came in very nicely the mosquitoes were at times thick. especially when the wind would blow from the land
 The Birmingham battery returned 10 BIT mingham at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon and the Selma detachment went home last night The Mobile battery remained in Montgomery an hour yesterday morning.
 Among those who returned with the so'- d,ers were Mrs Bibb Graves and the Misses Westcott, daughters of Major "estco"'
