OH Aisoctatea preas.1

Washington, D. c., May 3d.
The United States has received a
note from carranza regarding the
situation growing out OF the pursuit
of Villa.
State Department officials de-
clared that the note Wss not an
ultimatum, but was a continuance
of the correspondence on the ques-
ton of American troops remaining
in Mexico.
The War Department intimates
that no arrangements have been
made or are being made to trans
fer any more of the American sol
diers from Mexican soil at this
time.
The Carranza note was present
ed to the State Department by Ann
basssdor Arredondo. 1t asks def
mite explanation of the continued
presence of American troops in
Mexico, and renews carranza's re-
quest for their withdrawal. 1t
mentions the repeated declarations
that the United States wants no
war with Mexico, and argues that
withdrawal of the troops would
be the best proof of that attitude.
carranza says that the continued
presence of American soldiers is
having contrary effect on the pop
ulace in general
He asserts that the Carranza
troops are able both In numbers
and position to control the out
iawry in Northern Mexico, and
American cooperation to prevent
incursions into the United States
can best be carried on by having
American forces on this side of the
border.
He says that had American
troops now in Mexico been on Dor
der patrol duty, the Glenn sprlns'
and Boqullas raids would have
been prevented.
Arredondo admitted that Manue
Mendez brought the note to Wash
inqton ON Monday. It was deniet
at that time, he said, because 0

South Mississippi
VIII Feed Part of
WOrldWatermelons
FORREST COUNTY ALONE HAS SOS
ACRES IN THREE sEPAR.
ATE TRACTS.

South Mississippi will produce thou
SANDS OF acres of the most luscious
watermelons imaginable during the
coming season, if drought does not
set in before the melons are matured
This is the belief of the officials Of
the freight department of the Gulf &
Ship Island Railroad, who nave just
compiled set of figures on the water
melon crop of this section.
At Fruitland Park alone, in the
southern part of Forrest county, there
are 525 acres in two tracts, 500 being
cultivated by the Mills Farms Com
pany, and 25 acres by H. G. Carr AT
McLaurin, also in this county, there is
a 40 acre tract being worked by II. Y
Dean.
The watermelon crop will be ready
for movement about June is and the
shipments will be at their height be
tween June rs and July l. Many car
loads will be sent out, the bulk to Chi
icago and New Orleans markets.
AS already stated, this will be the
first year that South Mississippi pro
duced early watermelons and the sue
cess of this years crop is expected tc
cause many farm owners to devote
lmuch larger acreages to melons mex
