Major c. L. Dulin, of the quarter

some time tomorrow, and take up
with General Mann. of the Bureau Of
Militia Affairs, the plans of the train

Major Dulin and General Mann will

the camp already Is under way, and

Healthy Spot.
CONGRESSMAN Fred I. Blackmon,
who was born and reared near Annis-
ton. and who represents that district
in the House, in describing conditions
of that community. said IL Is regarded
as "the healthiest spot in Alabama"
although going to the far South,
the District guardsmen will not suf-
fer from sweltering. oppressive heat
at night nor from sultry weather in
day." he continued. Admission is To-
Gated on a plateau. 300 feet above sea
level, between two mountain ranges.
There are not ten nights during the
whole summer which are not cooled
by mountain breezes. In fact, the
cool nights Of Anniston are famed In
Alabama Hundreds of Alabamans
30 there during the heated months
on account of its climate. The sun
does not shine so hot at Admission dur
ing the day. There is no record of
case Of sunstroke at Admission.
THE water is another thing they
will enjoy. Admission gets its water
supply from a huge spring in the
hills. which is capable of supplying
800. 900 persons. The water is pure.
1t has not yet been decided whether
the training camp will get water
from Admission city sources or from
four large springs on the camp
grounds.
Health conditions at Admission are
among the best in the South. The
pure mountain water and air are en-
,emies to sickness, and my prediction
Is that the .guardsmen will thrive
during their training period. They
Will not need many doctors, il any.
The Anniston camp already has a
notable record for its healthful quail
ties. During and after the Spanish
American war troops from Arkansas,
Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Alabama
were encamped at Admission. Some of
these soldiers had seen service in
Cuba and came there in a rundown
