Militia Ready For War Said
Maj. Levy In Interview Today
Augusta Boys Stand Ready and Waiting. Anxious Inquiries
Made During Day at Herald Office Regarding Tense Sit
uation Now Existing Between U. S. and Mexico. Tells
What Would Be Required of State Militia in Event of War
In speaking with regard to the lo
cal companies of the National Guard
of Georgia going to Mexico in the
event of war and the states’ militia
being called on, Major Abram Ijpvy,
commanding the local battalion stat
ed this morning that the Augusta
buys stand ready and watirig to go.
He said that the Augusta militia
would again tender its services to the
war department, as it did a few
months ago when it looked as though
a crisis was near at hand.
Major Levy’s Command.
There arc at present under Major
Levy's Command, Tour companies of
infantry, viz ; the Richmond Light
Infantry, Captain Halns; Clinch Ri
fles, Lieut. Woodson, acting captain;
Oglethorpes, Captain Jowitt, and Lite
Burke Light Infantry, Captain God
bee, There is one troop of cavalry,
tlie Hussars,, commanded by Captain
Voting. The militia is supposed to
average 58 men to the company, but
at present there arc a number of va
cancies Lieut, Smith, the local re
cruiting officer, would be glad to re
ceive enlistments.
Mild Excitement in Augusta.
There was a mild* excitement in
Augusta today as a result of the Mex
lean situation. Ixrcal military offi
cers were anxious regarding the day’s
reports from the national capital and
also from Mexico. Many inquiries
were rnatje at The Herald office be
fore the daily edition went to press.
Major Levy talked interestingly
about just what would be required of
the Georgia troops In the event of
the outbreak of hostilities.
National Guard Prepared.
"The Georgia national guard is pre
pared Tor war,” he said, "that is, as
well prepared as any of her sister
states, and far better than the militia
has been at the outbreak of any pre
vious hostilities.
"Tills readiness is to tie attributed
to Hie operation of the Dick act, which
was passed not long after the Span
ish-Anjerican war. Under thin act.
the national guard of the various
states become a reserve of the Unit
ed States regular army. Should it be
mustered Into service, the militia
would not have to he reorganized, and
each man who volunteered to go sub
jected to a physical examination, as
was the case at the outtireak of the
war with Spain. The national guard
would go with its present organiza
tion Intact and under its present of
ficers.
"The constitution of the United
States gives the president the right to
call out the militia of the stales to
repel invasion, but lie does not have
authority to send them into a foreign
country without their consent. Before
(hey coftld he used for service in Mex
ico they wotrttl tie given the opportu
nity to volunteer. Also the governor
of the state, who iH the immediate
commander In-chief of the state na
tional guard, would lie called upon to
select which troops should go and
which should stay.
"As soon as the state military or-
THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
ganizatioris were received into the
service oT the United States for actual
warfare, they would be recruited up
to war strength. The war footing is
Ihß officers and men per company,
while the usual minimum strength
maintained on a peace bases is about
sixty.
"After the organization had been
recruited to full strength, and ha.,
received from the government tne
necessary equipment, they would be
ordered into mobilization camps until
such time at they were neaed for ac
tual service across the border.’’
When the Dick act was passed, the
various states were given ten years
during which time military organiza
tions should qualify under the provi
sions of the act. The date lias been
extended several times, atid a number
of the states have even yet not qual
ifid.
Georgia was one of the first states
to qualify under the act, and her mili
tary organizations are pronounced by
army experts to be in considerably
better shape for actual service than
the average.
THE MORNING WITH
THE RECORDER
Imagine the blank dismay in the
court room when, in a tremulous
voice, the clerk oi the court called out
the name of Bill Jrvin.
A small arid uuobstrusive colored
man stepped forward—to the vast re
lief of those present.
The Judge took a long look at him,
sighed and shook his head
Homebody, tactlessly, laughed (he
was immediately chucked out.)
Bill was charged with cursing on
Saturday night, the cause and object
of his profanity being his gossipy
neighbors, (sufficient cause, God
wot). The woman next door and her
sister, who were witnesses in the
case, had for months been discussing
his private affairs—in a loud voice of
an evening on the piazza, for the
whole neigliborhood to hear—until lie,
growing finally exasperated, had gone
over there and called them by the
satisfactory arid alliterative title ot
two "Black, Bare-Footed s."
At this the ladies next door were
incensed, and made reply:
“You low-down, raggety
scoundrel. We’ll go get de white
folks and have you arrested."
And, acting on these words, here
•hey had Bill up before Judge Irvin
this morning.
Bill's Mother was magnificent in
his defense.
She said: “Dis po’ boy been mar
ried about a year, and detn women
nex’ do’ wont let he and his wife
alone. (She seared them with a
look). Kv’y time her and him lias
any kind o’ fuss, dey got to Rare Up
and talk it over mongst dey selves
and pass it back and fo'th till we gits
plum’ downright Sick of hearin’ it.
Dey all de time makin' fun o’ de po'
boy and he wife, and throwin’ out
slams. Sut’dy night dey come along
talkin’ bout "Dese low-down niggers
traipsin’ roun’ here. We donno noth
in about ’em, dey say, ’Who Is dey
anyhow?' I’ll show ’em who we is!
(She fixed them with a gaze that
would have withered an oak tree.)
The Judge turned to Lula, one of
the neighbors, and asked her when
she had been up before him the last
time. She replied, in an injured tone,
“Never!" Tile Judge was incredul
ous. but Inquired no further. "You
look familiar," lie said, "but I'm afraid
to ask where I’ve seen you before!"
He decided that busy-body neigh
bors were enough to make anybody
, violate the Got» the section of the
code, and, us there had been no dis
turbance in the neighborhood caused
by the episode lie suspended Bill's
sentence. Let this be a timely warn
ing to such us arc. prone to dwell on
other po pie's affairs, (if there be any
such in Augusta).

SOUTH CAROLINA
LOSES THE CAMP
Maneuvers of Militia and
Regulars to be Held Else
where by Blease’s Failure to
Comply With Sec’y of War’s
Demands.
Washington.— The maneuver camp
next summer for regular troops and
the militia of North and South Car
olina, Georgia and Florida will be lo
cated outside of South Carolina, be
cause of Governor Blease s failure to
comply with demands made by Secre
tary Garrison. The secretary had
given Blease until this morning to
disavow all pr<-,ious statements on
the subjects and to invite the war de
partment to have the maneuvers on
the Isle of Palms, but instead of such
complience Mr. Garrison this morn
ing received a telegram from Gover
nor Blease saying he was sending a
special delivery letter on the subject.
Mr. Garrison’s announcement that the
camp would go to one of the other
three states followed.
Meeting at 3:30.
Since it is now officially learned
that the mobilization camp is not to
Mm
be located in South Carolina at all
Augusta’s chances to have it brought
here appear much more favorable.
Definite action as to what course
it will be best to pursue in the mat
ter of securing the camp here, was
expected to be decided at a meeting
of the military committee of the Mer
chants and Manufacturers’ Associa
tion in the association rooms at 3:30
o'clock this afternoon. In all proba
bility representatives will be sent to
Washington within the next few
hours in the interest of getting the
camp;
What Augusta offers for a militarj'
mobilization camp site has been stat
ed before. It is a certain fact that
this city can put up a good argument
why the camp, including regiments
from all over the southeast, should
be placed here.
