GOOD QUOTA FROM CAPITAL

wuth anticipations of a pleasant and profitable trip, the local infantry com panies. the Greys and the Blues. with a total of about 135 men, left Mont gomery at 12:05 o'clock this morning for Camp Taft, Chickamauga, Georgia, where the joint maneuvers of the Fed eral troops and the State militia of the Department of the Gulf will be held. They will be In camp for period of ten days, during which time they will engage in an extended set of military exercises as nearly as possible repre- sentative of the conditions of actual warfare.
 The club rooms of the Greys over the old Farley National Bank building, and the armory. the quarters of the Blues, presented last night until late hour a scene of unusual activity and hustle. Preparations were being made for the trip and in the distribution of the new equipments and the packing of neces- sary clothing considerable time was consumed. It was almost Il o'clock before everything was in readiness for the departure.
 Unusually large Is the number of men who will attend the camp this year. From Montgomery about l5s men will go and the local boys will undoubtedly make an excellent show ing. frequent drills having been held in preparation for the event The in terest shown this year surpasses that of any preceding year and this fact augurs well for the efficiency of the State militia.
 The number of Montgomery boys who will attend the camp would be much greater but for the difficulty of many of them have experienced In getting leave of absence from their employers for the required period. One of the local railroad freight houses had It's working force materially depleted by the drain upon it by the call of the State militia and In numerous instances permission to attend the camp has been refused employees because of the re- suiting inconvenience to the employ CTS
