Matinee and Evening WEDNESDAY T uestlay Morning we are go ins to put f on sale i Oenuine 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). Check Your April Cough.

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.
