GEORGIA TROOPS TAKE KEEN INTEREST
 IN MEXICAN CRISIS
Members of National Guard Wondering if Strained Relations Will Result
 in Active Service
By ROBERT MORAN

Atlanta, April 1-6Specia1 )-keen interest in the Mexican war situation is manifested by the state troops. Mem bers of the National Guard are wonder ing whether the strained relations be- tween the United States and President
 Huerta will result in their being called upon for active service
 campaign of publicity and other wise has just been waged here in At
 lanta in behalf of the Fifth regiment of this city, which has had a great deal of difficulty in recruiting its strength because of the oposition en- countered among employers to letting their employees off to perform military service during the summer encamp- menlts. As result several of the com panies of the regiment are short of the required quota of 5s men which should be the company's strength on a peace basis. None of the companies having less than 5S men would be allowed to proceed to the mobilization camp in case the regiment were called upon on account of the war.
 Sentiment among Atlanta employers was largely modified as result of the recent campaign, and a number Of 'iic SoHipdhitS ol the regiment nave been strengthened by enlistments The work, however, is still in progress. The Fifth regiment paraded through the streets of Atlanta last night and was received with considerable enthusiasm
 Even in the event of any trouble with Mexico, the National Guard could not be sent outside the state except where the men and officers volunteered They could, however be used for frontier service in Texas, thus relieving the regular army for other duties.
 In the event the call is issued, 1t is expected that the Georgia troops would be called to mobilize sat 1yort McPher- son, near Atlanta, and the course then pursued would depend upon whether the troops were to be used in Mexico or on the border. If they were to be used in the United States, they could be sent as body under present organization
 There are now between 5000 and 4OO0 experienced national guardsmen in Georgia, and it is said an additional 5000 could be enlisted within 30 days Reports from Washington indicate that the war department is counting upon Georgia in case of necessity for some thing like 1000 militiamen.

HARDWOOD SHIPPED
 TO OHIO RIVER POINTS
Seventy-Five Carloads Shipped by the Hit Lumber Company Via Deca-
 tur Navigation Company

Decatur, April 21.-(Special )-Proba bly the largest shipment of lumber ever made out of the Decaturs was shipped Tuesday by the H. H. Hit Lumber company, when 75 carloads of hardwood were sen .via the Decatur Navigation company to a Louisville firm This consignment of lum. Der between 70o,O0o and 100000 feet is pos sibly the most valuable cargo of lumber ever shipped from the Tennessee river or from this section of north Alabama for a great number of years.
 Arrangements have been made hy the Decatur Navigation company for the transportation back to this section from Ohio river points of 10 cars of general merchandise and freight for the return trip. which will be made sometime in May.
 The II. H. Hit Lumber company, cps erating probably the largest output of hardwood in the south and moving 9v per cent of the entire product of four band mills to points north, east and west. have been dependent upon the Southern and Louisville and Nashville railroe,ls, which have recently. it is claimed, ad- vanced the rate on lumber of cents, Wnlch put the Decaturs at a great diSad- tase in competition with Chattanooga and Memphis markets. The possibility of se- curing a hauling contract with the Hit Lumber company of large shipments of lumber, very strongly augmented the sug- gestion and the plan of exterdng the steamboat line to the Ohio river points and on account of the contract recently made with the Hit Lumber company tc move entire cargoes, this service was established.
 The H. H. Hit Lumber company is con- ,sdering establishing distributing yards at certain Ohio river towns. such as Gin cinnati, Louisville and other points and with a regular monthly service between Decatur and Cincinnati this company favored with full cargoes of outgoing lumber. would enjoy strong avenues bolt ways. as indications now present a very large return freight business from that territory
