pressed themselves in the matter that
Sumter will have one Of the finest
hotels in the State in a year from the
present time. This is providing that
nothing turns up to upset present
indications and unforeseen difficulties
do not occur.
Mr.. Jennings in his effort to raise
funds for the hotel that Sumter want
ed has raised more than $4,000 and
it is probable that most Of this sum
will be subscribed for the new ho-
tel by those who subscribed it to-
wards the building of hotel by the
citizens. Of course, it will not be
difficult to raise the 40 per cent Of
the funds necessary towards the
building OF the hotel as the money
will be covered by 6 per cent bonds
which are payable in five years.
Many suggestions have been made
as to the possible site of the hotel,
but all are mere guess work, as
options have been secured on more
than half a dozen different sites and
only one Of these sites can be select
ed. Which one this will be, remains
puzzle until Mr.. Gresham returns
here and makes his selection.

The Mexican Governments peace
envoy. Judge Carabajal, has refused
TO consider the terms OF Gen. Madero,
and the latter Immediately broke the
armistice.
Gen. Madero stated tonight that
the armistice was at an end, and his
terms had bsen rejected.
But that is not enough, for while
Gen. Diaz is in power all laws will
be arranged TO his satisfaction. With
that idea and in order to obtain
promises of reforms. we must ask
him TO make public the intention
which he had manifested recently Of
resigning from the Presidency. That
he might not feel humiliated or have

the choice of the rebels themselves
for provisional president. What
course affairs would take once the
vice president or the minister was in
power remains to be seen.
Although the announcement Of
Gen. Diaz that he would resign once
his country was at pSace will not
reach the rebels through official
channels, it can be regarded by them
as nothing less than compliance
with their chief demand. Officials
and civilians in the capital believe
that MaderO will not bubble over
the method and that if he is sincere
in his desire TO end the war he will
at once order the cessation of hostili-
ties.
1t is no longer denied that a great
majority Of the revolutionists in all
parts Of the republic are acting
either directly or indirectly under
the orders of Madero. and il is a fact
well established that numerous
bands, suspected Of fighting indie
p"ndently. have during the past
week signified q desire for peace. but
only in accOrdanc" with the decision
reached at Juarez. The leaders Of
these bands have announced that
they would continue the rebellion or
would stop as Madero instructed.
