"The mem- bers' of the North Carolina ' National Guard are just as ready to go to Mexico,' said Adjutant General Young today, "as the ".34 members of Company were ready to go to Lillington to protect the negro prisoner and as the men are ready to go to dinner. They are simply wait- jng for ord' rs", This was the"answer. of the adjutant general when infDrmed today that the Mexican situation, judged by ' early press reports,: was growing worse.' Gen- eral Voting had nothing but commenda- tion' for . jthe promptness of Captain Moody and Lieutenant Holderfield in assembling 34 men promptly. ; The or der was received at 4:30 and at 6 o'clock the soldiers "were on the train. Captain W, C. Horton and two members of the hospital corps were . also ready with field equipment. Second Lieut.' "R. C. Young acted as aid to General Young. . Military officers and men share the belief of nearly everybody else that it is only a question of a few weeks or months until the National Guard will be called to the colors.: i Every -cdtfipany will re port for duty at the call, Generat Young has been informed, and the war depart ment has been advised of . this fact.

After a conference today between the mediators and the Mexican delegates it was announted that the progress of the mediation had reached a most satisfactory state. The difficulties over the manner of introducing the ,a"d question into the discussion are being overcome and this point will De included in the scope of the media- tion program. This was stated on the authority of one of the South Am- erican envoys. The diplomats pointed especially the good feeling that has prevail ed between the American and Mexi can delegates and is constantly growing stronger.". ' Although' there have been some .differences of opinion, each side has recognized the earnestness of pur pose of the other. . '" . , .

SEES GREAT FUTURE Returns To Norfolk From Over The Entire Road. Trip (Special to the Journal) NORFOLK, May 25. Enthusias tic in his praise of the country he had passed through, Joseph H. Young, president of the Norfolk Southern railroad, returned last night from an inspection trip over the entire system. The special train carrying private cars 100 and 101 reached Norfolk at 9:30 o'clock last night, ending the trip that started last Monday morning. "I was greatly astonished at the beauty and possibilities of North Car olina," said Mr. Young. "1 couldn't help liking itif I tried. I am convinced that the Norfolk Southern runs through a country with possibilities excelled by none. There is a large amount of unde veloped land that will be under culti vation in a few years and with the easy access to market that has always been theirs, the people of North Car olina will have one of the most product ive States in the I'nion. They have a Veady market for everything they can produce, and they are rapidly waking up to the hitherto undreamed of possi bilties of the country. ' -tQf. course they are somewhat hand capped at this season on account of the lateness of crops, but this merely places them on an equal footing with some of the states further north. They might not get quite so much for their products as they would have had it not been for the cold weather, but -they are always sure of a ready market. They have transportation facilities that enable them to get their products to New ork and other northern markets in two days and to Norfolk the same day they are shipped, and this is a great incentive to trucking . "All along the line I wa impressed with the great amount of new land being placed under cultivation, and the main new homes being built. Farm land all over the State is n the in crease, land around Raleigh and Greensboto that could be bought for from twenty-five cents to $1 an acre a number of year.; ago, now readilv brings from S100 per acre up. "The Norfolk Southern is a fine piece of property for a road of its size, and is going to be much better everv year. We figure that the progress of road de pends principally on the progress of the country, and everything we put into improvements to give the people better service we get back in steady returns. Much work is being done on the road bed at the present time especially on the new lines, and ballast is being added where needed. On the new lines we have three steamshovels at work, and I was very well pleased with the improvement work being done in all branches." Mr. Young stated that he expected to be in Norfolk some time getting more thoroughly in touch with local condi tions. Those who accompanied Mr. Young on the trip were C. H. Hix, former president; Marsden H. Perry, chairman of the board of directors; E. D. Kyle traffic manager; F. L. Nicholson, chief engineer; J. W. Sasser, superintendent of motive power; J. M. Shea, superin tendent; Colonel WV B. Rodman, coun- sel. Colonel Rodman and Mr. Hut re turned to Norfolk Friday night, but the other members of the party came in with Mr. Young last night. NEW YORK.
