GOVERNOR HARRIS
TO REVIEW TROOPS

ATLANTA, Ca, June 20.-Governor
Nat E. Harris states that as soon as
the state militia is modified in Ma
con he intends to go to the camp and
visit them and address them. The
governor was deeply moved at the pa
triotic spirit with which the men of
Georgia, especially. the young men,
are responding to the call for recruits
for the national guard, and he spoke
OF them today in terms of endearment
as my boys"
The governor further states that
wien the Georgia troops go to the
Mexican border it is his purpose to
visit them again there and to see to
it that they are taken care of in the
best possible manner.
The governor is distinguished vet
eran of the civil war and has always
shown great interest in the state
militia.
IF l could get away" said the gov
ernor, 81 would go with my boys.
That's what they are-my boys, and
love em, every one of 'em If it was
my state that was being threatened,
would go with them. I'd get right
out of the governors chair and you'd
fiLd me right in the trenches, fighting
alongside of them.
Il am determined on QUE thing, and
that is that the Georgia boys are going
to be taken care of during their serv-
ice as well as any soldiers who serve
the nation. l am going to Macon to
see the camp and to talk to my boys.
And when they go to the border, even
if they are then troops of the United
States, rather than troops of Georgia,
I am going to the border and see that
they are properly cared for there.
1T does my heart good to see them
respond to the call with such readi-
ness and patriotism. / know beyond
doubt that my boys from Georgia will
reflect honor on their state under all
circumstances, and that they will do
tleir duty to the full limit, no matter
what the demand made upon them"

BILLY PARKER HELD
FORTH At COURT HOUSE

Billy Parker held forth at the court
house last night. Billy is a good talk
CT and entertained his small thougi,
appreciative audience with some very
salient and trenchant remarks.
He represents what he terms great
secret order, and which is in opposi-
tion to Roman Catholicism as relates
to it's interference and domination of
American politics and antagonism to
Our public schools. He is fresh from
the wilds of Florida where he has been
actively engaged in the campaign
which has resulted in the nomination
CT Sidney ]. Cats for governor of that
state, and which, he says, means the
overthrow of Catholic domination OF
politics in that state.
Billy is a red-hot number, a past
master in the use of English, well in
formed, fearless in his denunciations
of Roman Catholicism, hard hitter
knowing when and how to hit, and
never fails to interest his hearers.
He will appear again tonight at the
courthouse, and without doubt will
have much larger crowd to hear him
than last night. Ladies are invited to-
night, but on Wednesday night he will
speak to men only.
If you want to hear something rich
rare and racy, hear Billy Parker to-
night and tomorrow night

CRISIS COMES WITH THE
NOTE To CEN. CARRANZA
Wilson States We
Are Ready For
Grave Turns

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 20
The Mexican situation came to definite
crisis today when the American gov
ernment, acting through Secretary
Lansing, of the state department,
handed it's final communication to the
Mexican government ambassador
Scnor Emelio Aredondo, who brought
Carranza's demand for a withdrawal
Of American troops from Mexico to the
state department several days ago.
The note handed Senior Arredondo to-
day is not an ultimstum, and sets no
date upon which the ae facto govern
ment in Mexico must comply with the
desires of the United States.
In clear, concise, definite and unmis-
taxable terms, the American govern
ment informs General Carranza, that
it has no intention at this time of
withdrawing United States troops
from Mexico. 1t makes no demands
upon the Carranza government, but
maintains the right and purpose of
the government of the United States
to maintain it's national rights and to
perform its full duty in preventing fur
ther incursions of the territory of this
country by Mexican bandits.
After fatty rejecting Carranza's de-
mand for a withdrawal of United
States troops from Mexico, the note
sharply rebukes the Carranza govern
nnent for the discourteous tone and
temper of the last communication
sent to the Washington government. 1t
then recounts a number of long-con-
tinued outrages against American
citizens and property, both in Mexico
and on American soil by Mexicans and
gives warning that United States
troops will be kept in Mexico until the
de facto government there actually
performs that duty which the United
States has not sought, viz, the pursu-
ing of bandits, who ought to be arrest
ed and punished by the Mexican gov
crnment
Concluding, the note says that if the
dc facto Mexican government contin-
ues to ignore its obligation to defend
American territory from depredations
of Mexican bandits, and carries into ef-
feet the threat to defend its territory
b, an appeal to arms against American
troops," the gravest consequences
must follow. while this government
would be ready TO greet such result,
the note says, ut cannot recede from
its determination to maintain its ma
tienal rights" and to perform its full
duty in preventing further incursions
pto the territory of the United States
