DIET RATlFlEs MEASURE.
Austro-Hungarian Commercial and
Consular Treaty With Mexico

Austro-Hungarian Commercial and
Consular Treaty With Mexico.
Budapest, April 29.-The lower
house of the Hungarian diet today rati.
fed the Austro-Hungarian commercial
and consular treaty with Mexico, which
lapsed in 1867 and had not since been
renewed.
The official Fremdenblatt, of Wen.
ma, announced april 20, 1901 that the
friendly rapprochement between Aus.
tria-Hungrary and Mexico in conse.
Quence of the erection of an expiatory
chapel at Queretaro, where Emperor
Macmillan was executed in 1867,
would result in an early resumption OF
diplomatic relations between the dual
monarchy and the Mexican republic,
interrupted since the emperor was
shot. The same day a bill was intro
duced in the congress of Mexico pro
viding for a renewal of diplomatic re.
Iations with Austria Hungary and an
appropriation of $4,000 was made for
the salary of a Mexican minister to
Austria.Hungary. June 1, 1901, Count
Gilbert Hohenwart was appointed Aus.
Hungarian minister to Mexico.
A government bill arranging for
commercial and consular relations be.
tween Austria-Hungary and Mexico
was adopted without division in the
Austrian reichsrath March Is last

JUST ONE WEEK IS
LEFT TO RUN IN.
Primary For County Officers Occurs
Wednesday.
CANDIDATES SURE OF VICTORY.
Thus Far Every Man Is Certain of
Success at the Polls. Twenty One
Have Been Called and Only Eight
of Them Are to Be Chosen.

One week from this date the twenty
one candidates in Sumter will have
been 'thinned down to a stand" by
the voters of the county, and It will
th9n be determined of this number
which will be chosen for the legisla-
ture and county offices.
Only eight of the twenty-one can
stand forth as the chosen few.
But never was there q bunch of run
ners more confident of victory than
are Sumter's valiant host now on the
track. Every mothers son of them is
dead sure of winning.
For has he not been among the boys
from Cotton Avenue back to the court
house; from Lickskillet to Postum
Trot, and did they not assure the can
didate that he was all right? Surely,
under such favorable circumstances,
he cannot fail of election.
Already some of the candidates are
arranging their private affairs prepare
tory to assuming their new duties af-
ter the election.
And it is going to be story of loves
labor lost for some of them.
The primary takes place next We'd
nesday 18th, and is for county officers
and members Of the legislature only.
All the assessments for expenses will
have been paid Chairman Pilsbury by
Thursday, and then the track will be
open to the sprinters.
1t Will bea great race, with every
man leadiDg-in his opinion.

COL. JOHNSTON LAST EVENING.
Addressed Audience upon Candidacy
for Commissioner

Hon. Mark Johnston, of Milledgevllle
the first of the four aspirants for the
Office of State School Commissioner to
speak in Americas, addressed an ap
preciatiYe audience at the city hall last
night, and the impression made by him
upon voters waP, no doubt, most
favorable one.
Col. Johnston expected to speak at
the courthouse at noon yesterday.
Just before the hour appointed he
was appraised of the fact that political
meetings of any nature in the court
house here were prohibited by the
Board of County Commissioners of
Sumter.
This necessitated a postponement
until other arrangements for the city
hall could be made, thus disappointing
many farmers who would have attend
ed the speaking. Last night, hewever,
Col. Johnston spoke to quite a large
and appreciatlve audience at city hall.
The speaker clearly defined his posi-
tion IN the campaign and presented
many very excellent reasons why he
should be elected to the office.
Briefly, Col. Johnston favors unl
form system of text books, thus doing
away with the necessity and expense of
purchasing new books every year, or
every time there is change of
teachers
The south for the south, Col. John
stOn favors the exclusion of northern
histories for our southern schools and,
instead, the adoption as far as pc ssible
of books by southern authors and from
southern publishers. In this, as in his
first proposition, Col. Johnston strikes
popular cord.
He thinks, too, that the negro is re-
ceiVing too large portion of the state
school fund, and faYors a division be-
tween the whites and blacks according
to the taxes paid by the two races.
COL Johnston's address throughout
was replete with sound reasoning and
excellent suggestions for the better
ment of the public school system in
Georgia, and the regret is that circum-
stances debarred so many of the vo-
ters here from hearing this we'll known
gentleman.
