Doubling Thomases.

There is some skepticism among
the people of Florence in regard
to the building of the new broad
gauge railroad into the Cripple
Greek district from this city, but
this is entirely uncalled for. There
is not shadow of doubt as to
its being built, but of course any
enterprise of this kind, requires
lot of time before it can be CON
summated, and it is probable that
the work of grading will not have
commenced before the end of
the year and it will require
several months to complete it.
But while under construction it
will greatly augment the popula-
tion of Florence and indeed some
of the most conservative say that
ii will be almost doubled during
that time.
This is big undertaking and
cannot be drawn to head in a
day. but, however, the road will be
built Being a broad gauge road
with a . per cent grade it will
have many advantages over any
line that enters the District. The
F. & G. c. has a 4 per cent. grade,
and in many places the grade ex-
ceeds per cent. on the Short Line.

LONDON. March 2.-The war In
South Africa has again reached stage
which the British newspaper critics
arc pleased to call the eve Of termi-
nation. Rumors Of the surrender Of
General Botha and the collapse Of all
Boer resistance flourish 20 the great
benefit Of South African stocks.
That those who are most responsible
for carrying on the war do not share
this optimism Is evident from Mr..
Brodericksunoficial utterances. and the
conversation Of his friends. including
Lord Roberts. Their carefully prepared
campaign Of thorough organization.
which has been quietly maturing dur
ing the past six months, is beginning
TO have its FIRST results and they are
perfectly satisfied that the new con-
centratloB Of troops referred to so enig-
matically by the correspondents at the
front is only one Of many steps for
which General Kitchener has SO long
been preparing.
THAT 1t will lead to the complete dis
integra;ion Of the more important Boer
units and possibly TO the personal sur
render Of Generals Botha and De Wet.
the British war office earnestly hopes.
but 1t does not go so far as to ex-
pect 1t.
General Kitchener is almost as reti-
cent toward his chiefs in Pail Mall as
to the general public. When he has
taken General Botha into his camp the
war office expects to hear Of It, but
not before.

WAR OFFICE SILENT.

NEW YORK. March with regard
to Communications Botha, the
cables keep singularly silent says the
London correspondent of the Tribune.
1t is now rumored that in his nego-
tiations with Kitchener he has been
anxious to know what would be his
status when the war was over and this
is said to have caused some delay in
announcing the result of the conference
es. Mr. Kruger's petition is even said
to have been under discussion.
The war office, however, maintains ST.
lence and nothing is known positively,
although surrender rumors are again
plentiful.
