MONTGOMERY TO
 FURNISH SUPPLIES

Co.,, Hobbie Grocery Co.,, Griel Bros- and Swift & Go.
 The contest between Montgomery and New Orleans was short. The Mont gomery merchants filed their bids with Major Scherer Tuesday afternoon and they were accepted by the depot quar- termaster at New Orleans in less than 36 hours. This merely proves the con- tention of the Montgomery wholesalers that they could and would underbid the New Orleans merchants
 COURT MARTIAL DELAYED
 Gen. Charles R. Bricken did not ap- point the IS officers to compose a courtmartial to try Harry Goldberg, private of Company D, Second reei- ment, who is charged with refusing to obey an officer and with cursing the United States flag and the President of the United States, Thursday, as was expected. General Bicken communi- cated with the department of the east to be sure he has the authority to appoint the court and until he is in- structed along these lines. the Gol1- berg case will remain unchanged. Gen eral Bricken declared Thursday after noon that other cases besides the Gold berg one will come before the court upon it's organization. Just what the other cases were, however, he did not state.
 ONLY ROUTINE IN CAMP
 Only the regular camp routine was in dulged in at the camp by the soldiers Thursday. They are still anxiously awaiting the pay call," which they have been listening for since Tuesday, Many of the soldiers are "broke,' but all are happy in the belief that they will re- ceive their July salaries by the early part of next week at the latest.
 Battery went on another hike" Thursday, marching from the camp at 1 o'clock and returning just before time for mess, at o'clock.
 The second regiment will move to the rifle range Friday morning for battalion drills Each of the three battalions will march to the range and there spend the entire morning in the usual battalion drills
 The soldiers at the camp are fast re- covering from the after effects of their innoculatons and vaccinations, and with in the next week or ten days they will settle down to real hard work. Only the absolutely necessary amount of drilling is now being indulged in because of the large number of sore arms, but once the men entirely recover they will be sub ject to long marches and hard drilling all day. It is the purpose of the command ing officers of the three regiments to let the men take things easy until all are we'll and then to put them through some work, which will condition them to stand up under any and all hardships they may be called upon to endure once they reach the Mexican border. Every one is ot the opinion that the Alabama brigade vii go to the border eventually and be- lieve that the Department of the East is only awaiting for the men to get thor oughly conditions before issuing such orders.
 There are no complaints by the sol diers of being under fed. In fact, they all declare that they are getting plenty to eat and there Is no complaint, what ever, in the preparation of the food. The cooks have learned their lesson, well and the soldiers are profiting thereby.
 The sanitation of the camp continues to be good and it is thought that the entire camp will get an excellent rating following the regular weekly regimenta inspection of Saturday.
