PLEAsEp WITH DlAz.
Nomination of the President of Mexico
 Popular With the People.

Mexico City, June 24-The nomination of President Diaz for the next presidential term before the national liberal party has been received with widespread satisfac- ton. There Is feeling among men rep resenting large business interests that the country will enjoy a period of freedom from political agitation between now and next year when the election takes place. It has been published enormously fin some American papers that the election Is now going on. The nomination of President Diaz puts an end to factions and cabals and removes the presidential succession from the domain of conjecture
 In his speech accepting the nomination the President said:
 The chief and highest distinction that can be conferred upon a citizen is to be predesisnated in solemn manner by his compatriots for the highest post of pub lie power in their gift regardless of whether he occupies 1t or not I appre- ciate 1t at its full worth and I will &C., knowledge 1t as long as live with heart felt gratitude"

Sixth Husband Taken to Bosom.

Macon, Ca, Sept 3.-Within the
new limits of Macon resides woman
who has buried five husbands, and is
now the bride Of the sixth man she
has promised to honor and obey.
When the groom entered the home
of his bride few days ago he became
the step.fsther of FIVE daughters and
the step-grandfather Of two more.
But peculiar feature Of his step.chil-
dren is the fact that no two of them are
full sisters. By each former marriage
the mother gave birth to one daughter,
and when her last husband passed
away the mother found herself the
guardian and sole support Of five chill
dren, each being half sister to the
other end each bearing different sir
name
One of the daughters has closely i'm
itated the mother as fer as she has
gone, for today she, too, has had two
husbands, each husband being the
father of one of her two children.
The last husband is hard working, in-
dustrious mechanic, while his bride
and each of her daughters have always
been self-supporting, economical and
saving. No wolf has ever been near the
door Of that neat kept cottage.

Fast Railroad Time.

Chicago, September Ga new
world 5 record for long distance run
ming was made by passenger train on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad early
this morning. A stretch of 1913 miles
was covered in 125 minutes. No stops
were made. The distance traversed
is between Chicago junction, Ohio,
and Garret, Ind. During the run o
speed Of 85 miles an hour was reached.
This was the maximum. Bursts of70
and rs miles were frequent. The
train was made up of five cars and
pulled by IN engine Of tho new Allan.
tic type, weighing 177, 900 pounds. It
ie the most powerful style in service
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
An extra large water tank helped in
this remarkable performance, saving
stops for water. From Gsrret into
Chicago another engine Of the same
make took the traie. On this run g
speed of 76 miles an hour was reached.
The performance between Chicago
Junction and Gariet could have been
duplicated had the train not been
blocked by train ahead to yhich it
was running into Chicago as second
section. This pecessitated slowing
down several times. TIE distance of
13l miles between Garret, Ind, and
South Chicago, however, was covered
in 153 minutes, making the whole run
Of 259 miles in 278 minutes. This
record is in itself Q phenomenal one.

Game Laws OF South Carolina.

There have already been number
of complaints that the game law is be-
ing violated It is said that the SUM
mer has been very propitious to :he
raising Of rar.Tidges and the fields are
full Of young birds which in some To-
calitics are meeting with wholesale
destruction at the hands of pot hun
ters. In view Of this fact, it might be
we'll for the sportsmen who love sport
for it 8 own sake to become familiar
with the game laws 80 that they can
prosecute pot hunters and stop the
determination Of fedglings.
Following is digest of the game
law of 1902:
Non-residents required to pay IL
cense of $25 to the county treasurer Of
the county where the visitor may be

conviction fined not more than $50.

Of September, except in the counties
Of Clarendon, Georgetown, Colleton,

ry, Darlington, Marion andBerkeley,
in which counties it shall not be law
full between the first day of February
and the first day Of August. Fire.

1t shall not be lawful between the
first day of April and the first day of
November to kill any wild Turkey,
partridge, quail, woodcock or pheasant;
or between the first day of Marsh and

importation for sale Of any partridge or

have been received here confirming
the report that the Sultan of Turkey
